Shattered by Fate, Restored by Truth-Chapter 282: I Miss You So Much

Over these three years, he hadn’t stopped searching for her. It wasn’t just him; the Fu Family too were all looking.

Three years ago, they had indeed investigated that incident.

It was precisely because the investigation turned up no useful leads that the winds of blame leaned even more heavily towards Su Wanxin as the instigator.

"There’s no evidence proving my innocence, but you can’t do anything to me," Su Wanxin whispered with a slight smile. "Fu Shihan, that’s a losing move you’ve made."

"Don’t provoke me. If it comes to it, I’d rather smash the chessboard and stop playing this game."

"Then you’d just be admitting defeat, trying to bluff your way through. Aunt Mo would be furious if she knew you’d done such a thing."

Pretending as if none of it had ever happened?

Impossible.

The Fu Family couldn’t forget that incident, and Su Wanxin couldn’t either.

Everyone was astute, all understanding that without playing this game of chess to its end, without determining a winner and a loser, there could be no moving on with life.

That’s how people are; once feelings are fractured, they’re hard to mend.

Moreover, Su Wanxin was never truly one of the Fu Family. Even being raised by the Fu Family from a young age, the lack of a blood tie meant one less bond.

She hadn’t forgotten the reason why she came to the Fu Family to begin with.

The Fu Family had sought her out initially only as amulet for Fu Shihan.

She wasn’t the only one; even if she died one day, the Fu Family would find someone else to take her place.

But Li Mo’s missing leg was unique, irreplaceable by anything.

Su Wanxin gazed into Fu Shihan’s eyes, gently tugging at his tie, beckoning him to lower his head slightly and whispered into his ear.

"It’s not worth betraying your family for me."

"All the tricks you know, you learned from me. Trust me when it comes to investments and business, my judgment is always better than yours."

So whether it’s worth it or not is for him to decide, not her.

His attitude was clear. In the dimly lit room, Su Wanxin looked into his eyes, and the walls that had always tightly encased her heart started to crumble, bit by bit. ƒгeewёbnovel.com

In this world, no one could treat her better than he did.

Even if everyone doubted her, even if she herself couldn’t prove her innocence,

Yet he would still lower his head to her, willing to tell her, I believe in you, I am willing to stand with you, against the entire world.

Tears slowly slid down the corner of Su Wanxin’s eyes as she took a deep breath, her hands climbing onto his shoulders, kissing the cool corners of his mouth.

Fu Shihan was momentarily stunned, his deep eyes gradually filled with joy.

The banquet hall downstairs was bustling.

The room upstairs was quiet and peaceful.

Yet the two people within were embracing each other, their breaths mingling, lips entwined.

Discounting the time she took advantage while he was asleep, this was Su Wanxin’s first proactive gesture of affection since her return.

As she was three years ago, she was soft and sweet in front of him, hugging him, without any resistance.

Her strength slowly waned until she could only cling to him, allowing him to pry open her lips, capture her fortress, greedily holding her tight, kissing her as if even a moment’s release would reset everything.

Her hot breath traveled to her ear, he kissed her earlobe, then held her tight, his breaths short, his tone entwined with longing, "I’ve missed you so much."

For three years, there hadn’t been a day when he didn’t think of her.

Wondering where she was, who she might be with.

Wondering why she still hadn’t returned, wondering if she ever would return.
