Chapter 408: Unbreakable Heart
When she brought up their baby, Ye Feimo’s hands started to tremble. Her words felt like he had died again. His heart, which he thought could no longer feel any pain, was once again twisted and wrenched.
Their baby...
She was right. Who would give their baby one more chance?
Ye Feimo’s body slowly stiffened. Wen Nuan could feel the deep sadness and despair that was enveloping him. The hand around her waist was as stiff as stone.
Wen Nuan reached out and pried his arm off. It took a lot of effort to get him to let go. Her voice was cold. "Ye Feimo, please leave. Don’t come looking for me anymore."
"What do you mean?" Ye Feimo’s voice was barely a whisper, as if he had fallen into a frozen lake. Was Wen Nuan leaving him?
Was Wen Nuan going to abandon him?
No. Impossible. He wouldn’t allow it.
Ye Feimo panicked. He grabbed Wen Nuan’s shoulders. "Hit me, yell at me, do whatever you want. Please, don’t leave me. Please, don’t leave me, Wen Nuan..."
"Ye Feimo, maybe our personalities really aren’t compatible. It’s better if we just take some time apart," Wen Nuan said calmly. "Maybe you’ll realize that it’s the right thing to do. This way, neither of us is happy."
"I am happy," Ye Feimo said decisively, his tone almost pleading. "Wen Nuan, please don’t talk about breaking up."
Wen Nuan was silent. Looking at Ye Feimo’s frantic face and panicked eyes, her heart ached, and her eyes welled up with tears. Ye Feimo cupped her face. Wen Nuan gritted her teeth, silently accusing him. His heart was also aching.
What had he done?
Why had he hurt her so deeply?
It clearly wasn’t her fault, so why did things turn out this way? He was in so much pain.
He only hoped that Wen Nuan would give him one more chance.
"Ye Feimo, didn’t you say that I’m not as good as Han Bi?" Wen Nuan said with a smile. It felt like a thousand arrows were piercing Ye Feimo’s heart. He knew it. Things said in anger are the most hurtful, and Wen Nuan remembered them all.
That’s not what he meant. He was just so angry that he didn’t know what he was saying. He didn’t mean to say it.
"That’s not what I meant. I really didn’t. It was just a slip of the tongue. Can you please forget it? I’ve never thought you were not as good as Han Bi," Ye Feimo explained. "When I saw that, I was so blinded by anger and jealousy. My heart was in so much pain, so I wanted you to feel ten times the pain to be with me. I wasn’t being genuine when I said you’re not as good as Han Bi. I never thought that. I was just so angry that I only wanted to make you feel more pain because I was in the abyss of pain myself, so I wanted to pull you down with me. I really didn’t mean it. Wen Nuan, can you forgive me?"
Wen Nuan gave a cold laugh. That was exactly Ye Feimo’s personality. When he was unhappy, he would absolutely drag everyone around him down with him. This kind of extreme personality was very hurtful to others and to himself.
"You also said I’m dirty," Wen Nuan said coldly. Her eyebrows were like daggers, cutting into Ye Feimo. "If you think I’m dirty, why do you still want to wear a used shoe?"
"Wen Nuan..." Ye Feimo was in so much pain that he didn’t know what to say. He finally understood how much words could hurt. It was like a knife, piercing his heart. The pain, despair, and frenzy came crashing down on him.
Wen Nuan, Wen Nuan...
When she spoke about her pain so coldly, he couldn’t say a word. How could he tell her about his regret? He said hurtful things, and he was responsible for the death of their baby. This kind of anguish was like a rock weighing down his heart. He hadn’t had a good night’s sleep in days. He hadn’t felt relaxed for even a single day.
"I believe you didn’t..."
"You’re lying!" Wen Nuan said in a sharp voice, cutting him off. She looked at him coldly. "You don’t believe me. If you did, you would have listened to my explanation, even for just a second. When you saw that, you instinctively thought that I’m just an actress who would do anything to get famous, even sleep with someone. You thought I betrayed you. I can understand you turning around and leaving at the hotel. I know you couldn’t handle seeing something like that for a second time. But at home? The terrible things you said, you threw away my dignity and self-worth. Did I say anything? I didn’t argue. I just wanted to explain things to you. I knew better than anyone that I didn’t sleep with Fang Liucheng, but you wouldn’t listen. You even said you never wanted to see me again."
Wen Nuan paused. Her reddened eyes were on the verge of tears. "Now it’s exactly what you wanted. You never have to see me again."
"I never thought that," Ye Feimo said in a sharp voice. Wen Nuan’s accusation was too severe. He couldn’t accept it. Ye Feimo grabbed her hand nervously, wanting to explain, but Wen Nuan coldly pulled away from him.
"You didn’t think that?" She gave a cold laugh. "Feimo, you always say hurtful things and then act like nothing happened. You said so many terrible things to me, and it’s not the first time. I’m used to it. I’ve never held it against you before. I’ve always acted like nothing happened, but have you ever thought about how much of a shadow those words cast over me? I don’t care what other people think of me, but what can I do when the person closest to me sees me that way? I admit I made a mistake, but I shouldn’t have to pay such a big price."
"We often argue, but have I ever said anything to hurt you? I’ve always been mindful of your feelings, and I always wanted to make you happy. But have you ever considered my feelings? Once you lose control, you say anything. Don’t you know that some words can never be taken back once they’re said, just like when you pushed me and I lost our baby? When it’s gone, it’s gone. It’s a fantasy for you to think the baby can come back. Even if we have another baby in the future, it won’t be this one."
Ye Feimo knew that everything Wen Nuan said was true. The trauma Han Bi had caused him was too deep, so he was always like that. Whenever there was even the slightest hint that Wen Nuan was being vain, he would treat her like a sworn enemy and say things that would hurt her.
"I’m sorry..." Ye Feimo said in agony. The veins on his clenched fists were bulging, and he was in so much pain.
Every word Wen Nuan said was like a knife stabbing him in the heart. He knew that he couldn’t escape this kind of torture, so he let the knives slowly tear him apart.
"You don’t have to say you’re sorry. It’s probably a good thing that the baby is gone. Maybe our relationship was meant to end, so the baby didn’t come into this world. It was all destined. We were destined not to be together."
