The Empress's Transmigration into a Magnate's Wife

Chapter 441

When Lu Nianzhi heard his voice, the pain in her heart eased slightly.

But her mouth was still merciless. The resentment from five years ago and the various images rooted deeply in her mind erupted once again!

"Xu Chuan, what do you want from me?"

"Do you want me to have a catfight with your woman? Or get into a brawl?"

"You think too highly of yourself."

"I made it very clear last time that I don't need your pity or guilt. Just disappear from my life."

"Wouldn't it be better if we both just lived our own lives in peace? Whether you want to get back together with Ling Yan, or your old feelings rekindle, it has nothing to do with me."

"Because my life has nothing to do with you either. I have no interest, time or energy to watch you two flaunt your affection in front of me."

"Aren't you looking for a mother for your son? His biological mother is here now, isn't that perfect?"

Her words were harsh and excessive.

She felt gratified inside, but also hurt, a piercing hurt!

It hurt so much that she almost shed tears!

She was very clear that she was worried and afraid Xu Chuan would really get back together with Ling Yan.

She was a coward!

After five years, she still couldn't forget this damned man!

"If you called to give me this good news, then you've already told me. Do you need me to order flowers or send a congratulatory card for you? Should I chip in some money as well?"

On the other end of the phone, Xu Chuan was also stabbed in the heart by every word she said.

But he understood her personality.

If enduring this pain would make her feel better, he was willing to bear it.

"Cat got your tongue?"

When there was no reply from Xu Chuan on the phone, Lu Nianzhi felt like her previous words were like throwing cotton, soft and ridiculous!

"Nianzhi, I just want to tell you that I won't be with Ling Yan."

"My admiration for her when we were studying was just appreciation. You were the first woman I loved, and the wife I want to spend the rest of my life with."

"What happened five years ago was my fault. I shouldn't have agreed to that dinner."

"I have never been with Ling Yan, there is no question of getting back together or rekindling old feelings."

"Nianzhi, I know you're in pain, but I hope that once you're done hurting, don't keep it bottled up inside. You can hit me, scold me, my phone will stay on."

Xu Chuan hesitated for a good few seconds before finally uttering these words.

If he had to name his biggest regrets in life, first would be not giving her an explanation five years ago in time, second would be his admiration for Ling Yan when he was young, and third would be agreeing to Ling Yan's dinner invitation.

But life does not go backwards. Mistakes have been made, all he could do was try his best to make amends.

"Hmph..."

After hearing what he said, Lu Nianzhi's heart shuddered violently, and the pain in her heart didn't seem to hurt as much anymore.

But she still didn't want to let him off easy.

He might feel relieved, but that one moment of relief for him caused five long years of pain for her!

Things might have been talked through and explanations given.

But the healed wounds were still there.

Perhaps if Ling Yan did not show up, over time, she might have slowly let it go.

But Ling Yan just had to appear at this moment!

The wound she just healed was stabbed and torn again!

How could she not overthink?

"Xu Chuan, after so many years you really haven't changed one bit, even your way of placating people is exactly the same."

"Don't use the same old tricks you used on Ling Yan on me."

"Don't call me anymore in the future! What you do has nothing to do with me!" Lu Nianzhi said coldly before hanging up.

Standing alone with her hands on her hips in the yard, she gazed at the vines on the wall as tears flowed freely down her cheeks.

She felt so pathetic and cowardly! What was there to not let go from a worthless man?

Lu Nianzhi scorned and was angry with herself, wishing she could slap herself to wake up and be sensible!
