NOVEL ONLINE FREE Chapter 400 Painful Experience
"There shouldn't be much need for adaptation, the two of them are rather familiar with each other. Let's just stay by the door. If there's any commotion, we'll be ready to rush in at a moment's notice."
"Alright, I understand."
After finishing their conversation, they took their belongings, brought over a stool, and sat directly by the door.
"Now, it's just me who has come in. If there's anything you want to talk about, the two of us can sit down and have a proper chat. Isn't it what you've always wanted, to have a chat with me?"
As Han Xuemei spoke, she boldly walked inside.
"Where is he? Where did he go?"
"He is currently outside the door. Besides, I understand that you might not want to reveal your feelings in front of others. It's okay, now it's just me. Can you tell me what's on your mind?"
After she said these words, Wang Sheng seemed to still be somewhat disbelieving, slowly poking his head out and then glancing outside.
The room was empty except for Han Xuemei. True to her word, the others hadn't followed her in.
Feeling relieved, Zhao Guangchen stepped out from the darkness.
Then, he sat down near the bed.
"I want to ask you, did you ever love me?"
"If I said I never loved you, that would be lying. Yes, I truly loved you. But after what you did, you left me deeply chilled. Now, I don't have the slightest feeling for you anymore."
"Heh, I understand. Actually, I'm very much aware of my actions. But there was no choice; under those circumstances, if I hadn't made a decision, I might not have come to this point."
"Yes, you certainly have persisted until today, but what's the result? You're living in exile now, and you can't even dare to show your face in the daylight."
"Maybe, this is all the retribution I deserve. Alright, with your words, I'm already content. At the very least, we once had an intense relationship, right?"
"Those are all things of the past, I don't want to talk about them now. Moreover, my wholehearted intention right now is to stand with you, so that together, we can fight side by side and defeat Lin Yi. Don't you want to see that outcome?"
"Lin Yi?"
At the mention of this name, his brow wrinkled slightly. This man, he had never once forgotten.
If it had not been for Lin Yi instigating Wang Guixiang behind the scenes, he believed he would never have come to this point so quickly.
Thinking of Lin Yi, Zhao Guangchen felt so much hatred his teeth clenched, his fists tight.
He swore that if Lin Yi were ever to appear before him, he would not hesitate to lunge forward, pin him down, and beat him fiercely.
"You hate him, I hate him too. If it weren't for Lin Yi, I wouldn't be in this situation today. So, if you want to defeat him, you must pick yourself up again."
"Pick myself up? How? You can see my face now, right? You know better than anyone what my face looks like." Discover more content at My Virtual Library Empire
"Yes, your face is indeed a mess, almost too hard for anyone to look at. But this is a process. Every treatment requires such a process. After all, the procedures of treatment have their ups and downs. So in this situation, you should trust them."
"Trust? How can I trust them? They promised I wouldn't suffer too much pain, but do you know? Every single night I feel as if there are 10,000 ants gnawing on my face, such unbearable pain that I've wished for death."
"Okay, I can relay your suffering to them, see if they can alleviate your pain in other ways. But the premise is, you must cooperate. Now things have come to this, if you don't cooperate, then your face might stay like this forever."
"What do you mean?"
"What I mean is, you must cooperate as soon as possible. Only then is there hope to change your face back. But if you give up now, then there's no hope at all. And don't worry, those people have been doing this for many years, their techniques are quite mature. I advise you, it's best to risk it all this one time."
"Risk it all? What if I truly fail in the end?"
"If you fail, it won't be much worse than it is now. Is there an outcome worse than the current one?"
Yes, what Han Xuemei was saying was true to the word, and indeed it struck a chord in his heart.
At that moment, Zhao Guangchen fell silent. In her heart, Han Xuemei felt somewhat smug.
She was very clear that at this time, he must have taken her words to heart. If that was the case, then what followed should be easier to handle.
Seizing the moment, Han Xuemei gently approached and suddenly grabbed his hand.
At this instant, Zhao Guangchen felt as if he had been electrified.
It had been so long since he had touched this woman, and now he felt somewhat inferior.
He kept withdrawing his hand, but after Han Xuemei insistently struggled, his hand was firmly anchored there.
"You don't have to hide. Moreover, no matter what you become, I still clearly remember our life together. We should have a new beginning. Don't you agree?"
"You and him?"
"That's right, I've already gotten together with him, but even though we are together, I believe our hearts are still in unison. If you trust me, you should join us. When the time comes, we'll defeat Lin Yi together. Isn't that the result you want to see?"
"I want to, I dream of it."
"In that case, I think you should accept their treatment. Trust me, I would never harm you. If I had wanted to harm you, then the moment you stepped into this city, I would have handed you over to the authorities, or perhaps even informed Lin Yi of your whereabouts. I believe all of this would then have been over."
