Contract Marriage: Boss, Let's divorce-Chapter 930 - 929: Stop Making Mistakes (7)

Destroying a woman’s innocence before her wedding, how painful and cruel this is for a woman. If Xiao Chen was just a stranger to her, it might be let go, but he had a good relationship with her — he used to be her big brother. How could he bear to do such a thing to her?

Xiao Chen lowered his eyes, his hands slowly clenching into fists. His voice was somewhat low and dry, "Xiaxia, I know saying sorry is useless, but I still want to say it to you: I’m sorry. I’m sorry for what I’ve done, for causing you so much pain. I’m sorry."

One simple "sorry"... how easy it is to say, yet it made her endure such an almost overwhelming pain.

If it weren’t for Shi Che staying by her side during that time, she thought she wouldn’t have been able to make it through. And what she never expected was that this was all done to her by the people she once loved the most — her elder sister and her kind Brother Xiao.

Ling Chuxia suddenly let out a cold laugh, "Xiao Chen, if you just asked me here today to apologize, then forget it."

Saying this, she stood up straight away and stepped to leave. Xiao Chen gripped his hand tightly and quickly called out to her, "Xiaxia, you should understand, loving someone is always beyond one’s control."

This one sentence abruptly halted Ling Chuxia’s steps. She stared, almost in disbelief, at Xiao Chen, "So, because of your love for Ling Yunshu, you helped her destroy me?"

Even if they knew each other, even if it was a stranger, he shouldn’t hurt innocent people because of his own love, right?

Facing Ling Chuxia’s gaze, Xiao Chen couldn’t help but give a bitter smile, yet he could only say, "I’m sorry."

This apology lacked the stiffness and dryness from before, but was mixed with immense sadness. Ling Chuxia stared at Xiao Chen for a few seconds. She could feel Xiao Chen’s guilt and remorse towards her. This emotion was not fake; he genuinely felt sorry for her.

But what good is a sorry? Knowing he’s sorry now, why didn’t he refrain from doing those things back then?

Ling Chuxia closed her eyes slightly, took a gentle breath to slowly suppress her inner anger, and then spoke, "I’ve said, if you’re just here to apologize, then forget it."

Xiao Chen also knew that his apologies now were laughably absurd. He long lost the right to say sorry to Ling Chuxia.

He smiled, the smile growing even more bitter. He couldn’t meet Ling Chuxia’s clear yet angry eyes, his gaze fixed only on the table, and then, as if gathering all his strength, he said, "Chuxia, I wanted to see you today to explain what happened that night."

Ling Chuxia sat on the chair, expressionless as she looked at him. At this point, what was there left to explain about that night? The harm was already done.

Xiao Chen took a small breath, swallowed, and then spoke word by word, "Xiaxia, nothing happened that night, you are innocent."

His statement shocked Ling Chuxia. Her previously calm eyes suddenly filled with surprise, "Xiao Chen, what... what do you mean by that? You’re saying, I am... innocent?"

"Mm, that night, I did initially... plan against you, but in the end, nothing happened. I just staged a scene."
