Because I Cannot Hurt You-Chapter 471 - From The Shadows

But what was the use even if he found that she was interesting? What was Liao Yuan supposed to do?

Or what did he want from Xinyi?

Was it continuing working with her? Or against her as a rival? Or did he want something more? ƒ𝓇e𝙚𝔀𝐞𝚋𝓃𝐨𝘷e𝙡.𝒄𝗼m

Whatever it was, he knew that he got something to kill time. It was a good year when Xinyi was the standing CEO for that time. But it changed when Zhiyuan came back.

Liao Yuan thought as if he lost his toy to play. He wanted Xinyi to continue being the CEO, but that was the Han Corps's decision. It wasn't something he could interfere in.

He felt aimless. In that period, he had grown fond of Xinyi. But there was no light at the end of that road because she was married.

But then he thought,

If I remember it correctly, Zhiyuan went into depression because he was forced to marry her by Grandpa Han.

He smiled.

In such a case, was it even possible that their marriage would last for a longer time? Zhiyuan could give up on Xinyi anytime. Or maybe she could leave him herself seeing that he had another woman in his heart.

But then splashing water on all his hopes came the news that Xinyi was pregnant.

That was when he began to hate Zhiyuan.

Wow, Zhiyuan. I never thought Han Huizhong's grandson would be a bastard. You are still in love with your ex-girlfriend, but you slept with Xinyi? Do you even have a heart?

He was extremely furious that day he learned about her pregnancy. It was as if Zhiyuan had touched something that belonged to him. He was beyond enraged.

In the end, he calmed himself down. He knew it was impossible for Zhiyuan to fall in love with Xinyi in such a short time. There must be something that happened which caused that night.

Did Zhiyuan force himself on her? Maybe he got drunk and…

He was sure it was true. If it was true, then would Xinyi bear to still live with him? She might not even want the child.

His suspicion proved true when he learned that Xinyi had taken an abortion appointment.

He was thrilled to know he was right. But he was even more thrilled to realize that the baby would be gone. The mother didn't want it herself.

Then it was easy. Once she kills the child inside her, he would approach her as a friend and gradually make his way in her heart until there would be no more Zhiyuan. Then will come a day where she would give up on her marriage too just like she did for her child.

But…

The abortion never happened.

Liao Yuan was puzzled.

How did Xinyi not kill the child? It was all decided. Then what changed?

When he had approached her to ask about it indirectly, he was stunned to see that Xinyi had completely changed. She was nowhere near the depressed woman she was. She had wholeheartedly accepted her child and wanted to give birth to him.

How? How could she be so happy after what happened that night?

Not only that, her relationship with Zhiyuan hadn't taken any slump either.

Meeting Xinyi that day made him realize that there was no way she now wanted to leave Zhiyuan or her child.

Everything got ruined and once again, he was extremely disappointed in Xinyi.

Was she a weak woman after all?

She proved that she had the strength and determination to face any adversity. But when the time came to finally step out of that marriage and away from the man who didn't even love her, he was let down by her.

Did she think that life would be hard after divorce? Or how would she raise her child by herself?

Really…Did I make a mistake about you?

He felt as if Xinyi had betrayed him. Everything was going well for him and one more push, and she would have been his if he played his cards right. But Xinyi crashed his plans.

Agitated, he left abroad. He couldn't bear the betrayal and the fact that he lost. So he spent his years abroad to forget about her.

Liao Yuan even tried to date other women to move on from her. But he couldn't. He just couldn't. He only wanted Xinyi. He wanted to be with her.

It was at that time, he stepped into the Underworld. If he had decided on having Xinyi at any cost, then he thought it wouldn't hurt if he built some influence in the dark world.

Three years passed like that with him gaining a foothold in the Underworld. When he learned that Xiaosi was back for revenge, he was ecstatic. He didn't know why he hated Zhiyuan so much.

It took a lot of effort to find out what had happened. But he was finally able to find an acquaintance of the man who was supposed to ruin Caihong on Han Huizhong's orders. That's when he came to know about that night seven years back.

Things were easy for him now. He didn't even have to lift a finger because Xiaosi was doing it for him. He was giving him what he wanted on a silver plate.

As Xiaosi carried out his revenge, he came to know one day that Siying had disappeared. He ran away from home.

That was the perfect chance for Liao Yuan.

He chuckled.

Ah. A child lost in a big city. Isn't it natural that something bad could happen to him?

A glint passed through his eyes.

What Xinyi couldn't do three years back, I will do it for her.

He hired a man from a local kidnapping gang in the city to take away Siying. With his influence in the Underworld now, things became convenient for him even if he was abroad.

Siying was almost in his hands when suddenly, he was saved by another boy. The kidnapper ran away, but there was no way to trace his identity, so he was safe.

Shit! What the hell is with his luck?
