Chapter 529: Chapter 530: Then From Today On, I Will No Longer Love You
"But..."
"But..." Xi Wei’s tears fell even more fiercely, "But... but the next day, you took the ring back, you said it was the one you had prepared to propose to Xiaoning with.
You mistook me for someone else when you were drunk.
I returned the ring to you."
"And the third time..." Xi Wei: "Again, you got drunk; you hugged me, kissed me, and nibbled on me, your passion as if your soul had changed.
You confessed to me again.
You also said you’d go to my home to propose to my father. If he couldn’t bear to let me marry so soon, we could get engaged first.
We’d confirm our relationship, and once I graduated from college, we’d get our marriage certificate.
You said it, you promised it. You said you’d propose at my place the next day.
But...
But... I called my brothers and dad to wait for us at home.
But, what did you do the next day, you forgot everything, completely forgot.
Moreover, you disappeared, and when I found you, you were dining with Xiaoning at the Star-picking Tower.
Li Mingmo, do you know how happy, how blissful I was then? Do you know how much I looked forward to our engagement, marriage, and getting the certificate?
Yet you again showed me with your actions, that they were nothing more than beautiful illusions."
"Li Mingmo, I don’t blame you for being infatuated with Xiaoning, I don’t blame you for loving Xiaoning, I don’t blame you for not loving me either.
Why should I blame myself for foolishly loving a man heartbroken by another woman?
But now, I look down on you.
Xiaoning is married, she has her husband and family, and you’re coveting a married woman.
If she wasn’t married, it might be called infatuation, called deep love, and I would rashly let her be with you.
But what can be done? She’s married! Is this still foolish?
Is it mutual folly when foolish people fall for each other? Or is it folly compounded by folly?"
"Xi Wei..."
"Let me finish." Xi Wei cut off Li Mingmo: "What I can’t bear and can’t accept is you seeking comfort in me.
Li Mingmo, I, Xi Wei, am just Xi Wei, whether I am beautiful or ugly, poor or wealthy, I am Xi Wei and only Xi Wei.
I am not Lu Xiaoning’s stand-in, nor her shadow, and certainly not a tool for you to pin your loneliness, emptiness, and solitude on while longing for Lu Xiaoning.
If you love Lu Xiaoning so much, go find her! Why are you hesitating?
After all, morals, the boundaries of principles, all mean nothing in front of Li Mingmo, who loves Lu Xiaoning so much.
You used to be poor, without money or background, but now you’re a respected and revered iron-blooded colonel, your godfather treats you like his own son, and he’s a general.
Your current background, power, and fortune aren’t lesser than Xiaoning’s husband now.
You need not feel inferior anymore; you fully have the means to win Lu Xiaoning back.
So why don’t you go for her? Why keep tormenting me?
I’ve fled from B City to S City, a place completely unfamiliar to me, yet why do you continue to torment me? freēwēbnovel.com
How many times is this already, answer me, how many times has it been?
Will you again pretend tomorrow as if nothing ever happened...
Li Mingmo, is it that fun to toy with me? Is playing with me that amusing?
Li Mingmo, I, Xi Wei, do not absolutely need you, I, Xi Wei, have my pride. If loving you makes me this low, if loving you is an original sin.
Then from today on, I will no longer love you!"
