Chapter 1392: I Only Want You (90)

“I didn’t, I just saw the news on a piece of newspaper that I used for relieving nature’s call.” Qiao An leaned back against the seat and continued, “Su Yan, I’m not as blessed as you are and, perhaps, I’m destined to live the rest of my life all by myself. I’ll leave your house later and go search for a job. Now that my reputation has already been tarnished, I wouldn’t dare to find a job in an established corporation. I think I’d better work at the nightclub. My dignity is not worth a single cent anyway. I want to lead a carefree life from now on.”

She then pulled the door open and alighted. As soon as she did, Su Yan alighted and walked toward her. He then pushed her into the backseat and closed the door.

He grabbed her wrist and said in a hoarse voice, “Since your pride and dignity no longer mean anything to you, why don’t you stay by my side? I’ll pay you.”

Greatly startled, Qiao An scoffed and quipped, “Why? Are you actually interested in a withered flower like me? Or are you just trying to humiliate me because you’re bearing a grudge against me for breaking up with you? Su Yan, I won’t give you the chance to humiliate me.”

She tried to open the other door, only to have him pin her down onto the seat.

Without hesitation, he looked down and kissed her on her lips.

Qiao An was flabbergasted. She stared at him in shock, after which he grabbed her wrists and raised them above her head before kissing her passionately.

She did not resist or push him away.

All of a sudden, the misery in her heart seemed to have vanished.

They used to be so in love with each other.

They used to be so strong-headed and obstinate.

However, change was inevitable, and fate had a part to play in the way things turned out for the two of them.

He began to slow down when he realized that she had stopped moving.

“Why aren’t you resisting me?”

Qiao An smiled and said, “I haven’t gotten intimate with a man in a long time. If I get to do it for free tonight, what’s not to like?”

A sullen expression formed on his face, and he moved away immediately. Just as he tried to alight, she grabbed him by his arm to stop him.

“Su Yan.”

He paused and looked at her, waiting to hear the rest of her sentence.

“You’re the person whom I dreaded seeing the most, because… whenever I see you, I’ll be reminded of the happy memories that we share, as well as those miserable ones. I know it’s too late to say these now. Su Yan, don’t bear a grudge against me for breaking up with you. What you did to me back then compelled me to break up with you. That’s how you always are. You only remember the outcome and never the process.”

She then adjusted her clothes before alighting.

Su Yan alighted from the car and chased after her. He then pulled her and hollered, “You aborted our child without even informing me and yet you still have the cheek to blame me!?! You knew clearly how elated I was when I found out that you were pregnant, yet you aborted it right after!”

Staring at him, Qiao An said, “Who… told you that I aborted the child… without telling you?”

“Did you not do that? I’ve already asked the staff at the hospital where you got the abortion done!” he barked, gritting his teeth in anger.

Qiao An closed her eyes and opened them again. “You were clearly the one who sent me a text message to tell me to get rid of the child. You were the one who said that you weren’t ready to be a father and that you wanted to focus on your career. You said you couldn’t bring yourself to say those words to me face to face!”

Su Yan kept his eyes fixed on her with his hands quivering uncontrollably. He realized that she did not seem to be lying.

He suddenly recalled everything that happened years ago. He was certain that he did not tell her to get rid of the child personally and that they were both elated about her pregnancy.

Something must have gone wrong in between.

That must have been the case.

“Which day did I send you that text?”

She revealed the date, which she had remembered clearly.

Noticing that he seemed to be unable to recall what happened, she reminded, “It was the day that I gave you a knitted sweater when you left. I even told you to give the sweater to your mother.”

Su Yan began to recall vaguely.

“Was it a red sweater?”

“Yes.”

“I had never sent you that message before. It could very likely be my family members who pretended to be me. When I went home that day, lots of my family members were around, including my mother, sister, and aunt.”

Qiao An had never felt so miserable and anguished before.

She stared at Su Yan, filled with agony.

Su Yan pulled her inside his bedroom and locked the door from the inside before calling his mother.

It was more likely than not impossible to find the surveillance camera footages since it happened so many years ago.

He could only question her.

He knew that his mother was rather fond of Qiao An and wouldn’t resort to such a cruel act. Hence, he decided to call her straight away. However, he did not question her about it directly and, instead, asked her if she could remember who the person who removed his mobile phone from the charger was. Mrs. Su began trying to recall who that person was.

Mrs. Su then answered, “I think your sister was the one who took it. She and your brother were fiddling with it.”

Su Yan hung up and said to Qiao An, “Wait for me here. I’ll make a trip home now. I must get to the bottom of the truth.”

Qiao An nodded.

It was her first time visiting his home and his bedroom.

There was an empty photo frame above his bed. Clearly, he had removed their wedding photo.

The decor of the room suited his style.

She paced around in his room and observed her surroundings.

A while later, she sat on the couch and waited for his return.

She dozed off while waiting.

She barely caught any sleep last night because she was too excited about finally regaining her freedom.

Su Yan returned to see that she was huddled up on the couch and sound asleep.

He stepped forward and picked her up in a bid to carry her onto the bed. As soon as he walked toward the bed, she woke up.

Just as she was about to struggle and break free from his embrace, Su Yan lowered her onto the bed and pressed her down to stop her from moving around. He lay down beside her and said, “Don’t move, I have something to say to you.”

Qiao An remained still and asked, “What do you have to say?”

“Qiao An, I’m sorry,” Su Yan apologized, staring at her calmly.

Qiao An held his gaze quietly.

“My sister was the one who had sent you that text message. She was jealous of you and didn’t want us to be together because my mother was very fond of you. She felt disgruntled because my mother compared her to you all the time and chided her for being inferior. However, my sister truly regrets her actions. She wanted to own up and apologize to me several times before but never had the courage to do so. She came clean when I questioned her just now. My mother was infuriated and even gave her a tight slap.”

Qiao An began to tear up all of a sudden. She closed her eyes, and her eyelashes began to tremble continuously. “What’s done cannot be undone. We can’t turn back time anyway.”
