Qiao Anhao muttered "Why?" under her breath. She lifted her head and stared at the ceiling. She raised her hand to wipe away her endless tears. She turned her head and stared at the rain that hadn't stopped. She slowly thought back to the time when she fell in love with Lu Jinnian at first sight. It had also been a rainy day like this. Then, like a crazed demon, the bitterness in her body flared up. Qiao Anhao couldn't help but raise her hand to cover her mouth, crying out loud once more.
This time, Qiao Anhao didn't cry for long. Very quickly, she calmed herself down. Her long eyelashes were filled with tears as she stared at Lu Jinnian. In a resolute tone, she said, "Lu Jinnian, to be honest, I can understand what you did. I'm Xu Jiamu's wife in name, and that child can't be kept. But no matter how much I understand, I can't forgive you.
"Because I'm not as cruel as you, and I'm not as heartless as you..."
When Qiao Anhao said this, her voice became weak. She had always thought that the most painful thing in the world was not being able to love someone, but now, she understood that the most painful thing was knowing that he had done so many cruel things to her, but she still couldn't stop loving him.
She buried her head in her arms, her voice calm but filled with sadness. "If you've been treating me well recently because you owe me and want to make it up to me, then Lu Jinnian, you really don't have to do this, because your compensation makes me feel even more embarrassed. I'd rather not have it..."
Qiao Anhao's question was too sudden for Lu Jinnian to react. After a long while, the gears in his head started to turn. How did Qiao Anhao find out that she had an abortion? He had already paid the doctors and nurses who had operated on her that night to keep their mouths shut...
Just as Lu Jinnian was thinking about these thoughts, he heard Qiao Anhao's last sentence: You really don't have to do this, because your compensation makes me feel even more embarrassed. I'd rather not have it...
Suddenly, a glimmer of hope rose in his heart. His eyes lit up, and he finally said the first thing she had said that night. "Is it because I aborted your child that you don't want to have anything to do with me?"
His words pushed Qiao Anhao into a bottomless abyss. She clutched her shirt tightly, not daring to look at him. Her heart was in so much pain that it was as though she had lost her soul. "You really aborted the child..."
In contrast to Qiao Anhao's disappointment, Lu Jinnian was visibly agitated. He reached out and grabbed her shoulders, continuing to ask, "Qiao Qiao, answer my question first. Is it because of the child that you don't want to see me?"
Qiao Anhao buried her head deeper into the crook of her arms. She moved her arms, trying to break free from his grip.
Lu Jinnian increased the strength of his hand and said, "Answer me..."
Before Lu Jinnian could finish, Qiao Anhao raised her head abruptly, her face filled with hatred. She glared at Lu Jinnian and said, "Yes!"
Qiao Anhao had only said one word when he suddenly broke into a smile. With a sudden tug, he pulled her into his embrace, hugging her tightly.
