Chapter 352: Chapter 352: Don’t... Leave Me

He followed closely behind, shutting the door.

Shuyan still wondered whether he should kneel before Lu Youxi to beg for forgiveness.

Lu Youxi said, "You can speak now."

"Start from the beginning, why were you found injured on the road outside Hexing Village?" Lu Youxi asked coldly.

The fact that Lu Youxi was still willing to listen to his explanation made Shuyan breathe a sigh of relief.

This time, Shuyan did not dare to hide anything and explained how he had been severely injured due to Zhou Xueyi’s schemes.

After explaining, he also swore, "I promise, there is not a single thing I’ve hidden this time. I’ve told you everything about myself, nothing’s been concealed."

"I’m not trying to make excuses for myself." Shuyan said, "At first, I kept silent because I didn’t want to drag you into these messy affairs, especially fearing that Zhou Xueyi might target you and your parents."

When Lu Youxi’s heart reached this point, he didn’t change his story.

"At that time, weren’t you thinking about getting a divorce? Initially, I agreed to register our marriage to help you," Shuyan said, "Back then, you went to Grandma Xu’s house to persuade me, saying you knew I was in a tough spot and could definitely help me. Actually, I never intended to have you help me."

"Because I didn’t want to involve you, I only thought about repaying your life-saving grace by helping you through tough times," Shuyan explained.

"Why do you want to tell me now?" Lu Youxi asked coldly.

"Because I’ve fallen for you and don’t want to let go. Actually, I’ve been wanting to find a chance to be truthful with you all this while," Shuyan confessed sincerely, "but I was afraid that if I suddenly told you, you would get angry and break up with me."

"So I kept waiting for the right moment to tell you," Shuyan sighed, "Because I’ve always had this on my mind, to you... I dared not do anything more than kiss."

Lu Youxi: "..."

Somehow, she thought about the time she had been ready, yet he had stopped.

"So now you’re not afraid of dragging me into this?" Lu Youxi raised an eyebrow.

Shuyan: "..."

"Because I can’t help but love you, it’s my selfishness. Loving you, I can’t control myself, and I’ve finally decided not to restrain myself anymore," Shuyan said, "I’d rather selfishly drag you into these troubles."

Lu Youxi took a deep breath and said, "Shuyan, your reason for hiding this, did it involve even a slight fear that I might be after your status or money?"

"Of course not!" Shuyan quickly denied, determined not to let Lu Youxi misunderstand, "I’ve considered many things. I worried you would mind my complicated family relations, that it would trouble you. I feared Zhou Xueyi would harm you if he saw us as one, and I worried it would affect your family as well."

"But I never thought you would be after anything from me," Shuyan said, "I have nothing worth your pursuing. You have capabilities, and you can achieve what you want on your own."

"You have founded an internet café, restaurant, and a tech company from scratch in just half a year," Shuyan said, "Given time, you can achieve great things in your career. You don’t need to rely on anyone else and you disdain doing so."

"You are confident, hence you never feel the need to rely on others to achieve anything," Shuyan said, "So, I’ve worried about many things that might trouble you, but never that you would covet anything from me."

Shuyan smiled wryly, looking down, "I actually wish you would covet something in me. That way, at least I have something worth your attachment, and I wouldn’t have to worry that once I reveal my identity, you would leave me."

"I fear you would find me troublesome and keep your distance once you knew my identity. I’m afraid that my concealment and deception, even though you like me, would lead you to break up with me mercilessly,"

Shuyan exhaled nervously, "Actually, what I fear most is the latter."

"You are too calm, too rational, and too cold-hearted," Shuyan pitifully looked at Lu Youxi, "so I’m very afraid you would reject me."

"In the beginning, when we were not together, I didn’t want to implicate you, so I didn’t tell you the truth. After we were together, I’ve always wanted to find a chance to be truthful with you and never thought of deliberately hiding anything from you."

Suddenly, Lu Youxi scoffed coldly, "So, you kept delaying, is it because you wanted to make sure I liked you enough that, even if I found out you deceived me, I wouldn’t have the heart to break up with you and then you would confess?"

Shuyan: "..."

No, how could Lu Youxi guess everything?

I’m way too smart, I can’t hide anything from her, what can I do.

Later, Shuyan recalled the past and realized the only successful thing he had ever kept from Lu Youxi was about his identity.

And even that hadn’t stayed hidden for long before Lu Youxi discovered it.

"At first, I was angry because you concealed things, worrying you thought I might be after something, so you didn’t dare tell me. If that was the case, it would have infuriated me," Lu Youxi said, "But now you say it wasn’t like that."

"However, your continuous concealment, looking for the right time to tell me, still angers me," Lu Youxi said coldly, "because you are being despicable."

Shuyan opened his mouth, initially not feeling that way.

But now, after Lu Youxi pointed it out, he suddenly realized.

His actions had indeed been despicable.

"I’m sorry," Shuyan despised the disgraceful thoughts he had harbored, "Youxi, I’m sorry."

"I don’t ask for your forgiveness now, nor do I ask you not to be angry with me," Shuyan took a step forward, but Lu Youxi stepped back.

"I won’t come closer, don’t avoid me," Shuyan hurriedly said, "I just want... just hope that you won’t give up on me."

"Don’t... don’t leave me," Shuyan pleaded lowly, "Can you give me a chance to perform well and make up for past mistakes?"

"My mind is a mess right now, and I haven’t thought it through," Lu Youxi diverted her gaze, "I need some time to think clearly on my own."

"Alright, take your time to think," Shuyan said hurriedly.

As long as Lu Youxi doesn’t divorce him, doesn’t give up on him.

He would agree to whatever she wanted to do.

Lu Youxi exhaled, saying, "Shuyan, don’t come looking for me until I reach out to you first."

Shuyan opened his mouth and hoarsely said, "All right."

"You’re right, you indeed bring trouble. Zhou Xueyi could harm his own nephew, let alone me and my parents, and Youxue," Lu Youxi said.
