Hearing Venus Mu’s question, Hao Nangong seemed to dodge her gaze, “Has anyone mentioned this
to you?”
Venus snorted and her tone was cold, “Is it necessary? I just want an answer.”
“Venus, listen to me, things aren’t what you think.” Hao wanted to calm her down.
“So what do you want me to think? Hao, do you know how much it pained me when I found out about
all this? I trusted you so much, but look at what have you done to me!”
Venus was somewhat agitated, her eyes filled with endless disappointment, which caused Hao’ s inside
unease grew more and more.
Hao quickly came to her, forcing her to look into his eyes, showing his sincerity and determination,
“Venus, believe me. I never wanted to hurt you. Maybe what I did before was a bit inappropriate, but
that’s because I love you!”
Who the man was that night, Hao knew better than anyone else, but he was planning to never tell her.
Zihang Lu thought that the man that night was him, but Zihang didn’t know that he couldn’t even get
there that night because he almost got into a traffic accident, but since they all thought it was him, he
was going to just admit it.
Love her?
Venus sneered. How great the word love was and anyone said so to her. Zihang said he loved her, but
he ended up sending her to another man’s bed.
Now Hao said he loved her, just as she had just learned that he was the one who had taken away her
virginity, bringing her so much pain.
How selfish their love was.
“Hao, don’t say ‘love’. I don’t think I have the charm to make the honorable young master Nangong
‘love’ me. How can you love me? Why do you love me?”
Hao frowned, sensing that Venus wouldn’t so easily compromise this time, so he spoke, “There’s one
thing that you probably don’t remember already. Three years ago, in a dark alleyway, you once saved
my life.”
After hearing his words, Venus tried to recall what he had said, suddenly feeling that she remembered
something about it. With astonishment, she asked, “It was you?”
Seeing that she remembered, Hao was very happy and cautiously nodded before speaking, “That’s
right, because you left in a hurry, I didn’t disturb you, but over the years, I’ve always silently watched
you.”
Venus looked startled and then asked, “Why? I told you I don’t need you to thank me and you don’t
have to do this at all! Even if it had been anyone else at the time, I would have made the same choice!”
Hearing her say so, Hao smiled bitterly before speaking, “I know, but you have attracted me, making
me more and more fascinated by you.”
Venus didn’t reply, for she really didn’t know what to say.
“I’ve noticed that you often feed those stray dogs on the road and also volunteer at the local charity
house. You’re really a very gentle and kind woman, and that’s why I’ m so into you.”
Venus lowered her head, with a smile and said, “How do you know it’s love? Maybe it’s gratitude or
pity?”
Venus used to believe the love at first sight, but after these events, she began to realize that using the
name of love to achieve the aim was not love, but selfish possession.
Hao raised his eyebrows and his tone was soft as if a cello was playing, “I never use love as a
bargaining chip. Venus, you should know me, I don’t have to do this.”
To speak of understanding, Venus couldn’t say she understood anyone right now. When she thought
something was round, but it turned out to be square.
When she thought her friendship with Xinyou Qiao was pure, the truth was wrapped in deceit and filth.
Venus’s look was mixed with coldness and there was no warmth in her smile and her tone became
indifferent, “Hao, do you know? My life is a mess now and all my experiences have become
meaningless, and your existence is like an oasis in the desert...”
Hearing her description, Hao frowned, but he didn’t stop her.
“Whenever I hurt, you always give me warmth, so I’m really grateful and happy to know you, but now
you’re telling me that what I see is fake, and the reality is so bad!”
Every word Venus said seemed to exert all her strength. Her eyes became red and she was about to
cry, making her unable to see Hao’ s face.
Hao felt nervous and he stepped forward to wipe away her tears, but was pushed away by her.
Hao looked pale and hurriedly explained, “Venus, I apologize to you for this. You can blame me, but
please don’t ignore me!”
Venus looked determined and shook her head, speaking, “Hao, from now on, it’s better that we don’t
contact each other and for this, I will never forgive you!”
