Once Upon A One Night Stand

Chapter 165

Shu Tian's heart gave a great bound but she appeared angry. "I'm not yours."

"Fine, you're not mine, but I'm yours." He smiled, revealing his shiny teeth as if he had received the

best gift in the world. "It's the same anyway."

Shu Tian had never seen him smile so happily before. She felt touched but also wistful. She had a bad

reputation and so many people looked down upon her. Even her family thought she was born bad. But

in the eyes of this man, she was so good, and being forgiven by her made him laugh like a boy.

Thinking of that, Shu Tian felt less angry and her attitude softened.

"Why did you drink so much? Does your stomach hurt?" Thinking that he didn't take his health

seriously, Shu Tian couldn't help but scold him, "You're already 32. Your health will collapse if you keep

torturing your body like this."

Li Han gazed at her silently and intently as if he wanted to carve her face on his heart. Many men didn't

like being nagged by their wives, but her worried nagging was the most beautiful melody to him.

The man grabbed her wrists and shook them.

"Are you not angry with me now?" He asked carefully.

Shu Tian looked at his chin which was covered in stubble and his pale face and all she felt was

apprehension instead of anger.

He'd placated her so easily, which made Shu Tian curse herself inside for being a hopeless pushover.

"I'm still angry, you asshole." In a heartbeat, her eyes reddened again. "You hid it from me for so long. If Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

I hadn't gone there myself, how long were you going to keep it from me? Did you even have the

intention to tell me at all? Did it make you feel triumphant to keep me in the dark?"

"You always do things I object in the name of doing me good. Do you know how much I hurt?"

"I'll do it to you someday so you can understand how it feels like..."

Shu Tian kept complaining about his "Unforgivable misdeeds" and glared at him with misty eyes. Li

Han's heart nearly melted.

"It's my fault. I'm an asshole." The man stroked her wrist with his slender fingers. "Tian, this asshole

loves you. Can you give him a chance to make it up to you?"

"What, what did you say?" Shu Tian widened her eyes in disbelief, forgetting to cry for a moment.

The intense emotions in the man's eyes almost engulfed her. He enunciated every syllable so she

wouldn't miss any word, "I said, this asshole, he loves you."

Shu Tian held her breath and her pupils dilated. "Who do you mean?"

"Me." His eyes glinted with affection. He answered the question that she had tried to ask him countless

times.

Shu Tian heard her heart thumping violently in her chest like a drum or a heart-stirring countdown.

Time seemed to cease at this second. The surroundings faded and it felt like there were only the two of

them in the world.

She saw the man part his lips slightly and heard his firm voice say, "I love you."

Shu Tian clapped her hand over her mouth. She'd asked him that question but he hadn't given her a

positive question. She'd never asked him again for fear of getting a disappointing answer.

Now, he told her so firmly that he loved her.

Shu Tian had been deluding herself into believing that as long as they stayed together and cared for

each other, it was enough. But only when he'd said these three words did she realize that she had

been looking forward to hearing them.

She'd been suppressed her love for him for too long and never had the courage to say it loud to him.

She lost all her confidence in front of him. Now, he finally responded.

"I... I didn't hear you wrong, did I?"

"No." Li Han felt so sorry when she sobbed. He couldn't even take good care of her. How could he

have taken out his anger on her?

He pulled her closer and caressed her side face with his big palm. "Don't cry. I'll say that to you every

day in the future."

Shu Tian felt the heavy stone on her heart were finally removed. She nodded and smiled with tears.

"I need to ask you something," Li Han suddenly asked after the mood livened up.

"What's it?" Shu Tian asked. Her voice was muffled after crying and sounded innocent and cute.

Li Han watched her sit down on a chair. A bleak gleam flashed across his eyes. "How did you find

North Villas?"

He was sure that Shu Tian was not a sophisticated woman, so it was impossible that she'd found North

Villas on her own. Someone must have told her something so she'd rushed over so out of control.

It turned out that Li Han was right, but in retrospect, Shu Tian felt a little guilty and answered him in a

low voice, "Jiang Mengyao told me."

"Jiang Mengyao?" Li Han was not surprised. This name had appeared too frequently recently.

"She found me when I was having my meal and said that she had been following you. You didn't pick

me up that evening and she sounded so sure, so I rushed over in a hurry..." Shu Tian's voice trailed off

and she measured his expression. Seeing that he didn't get angry, she continued, "It was not that I

suspected you. I..."

"You should suspect me given that I didn't tell you anything," Li Han cut in and cocked his eyebrows in

a self-mocking way.

Shu Tian didn't know what to say.

Li Han recalled carefully that apart from the occasions when he'd driven himself, he had Li Wei with him

every time he'd gone to North Villas, so the chance of being stalked was very small. Jiang Mengyao

was someone wanted by the police. Was it possible that she'd stalked him without being noticed?

Shu Tian saw his frown and asked uneasily, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing." Li Han didn't want her to be involved in these dirty, sinister entanglements.

Shu Tian asked suspiciously, "Really?"

"Yes." Li Han smiled at her. "Don't worry. I'll see to everything. You just need to stay by my side."

He'd repeated it so many times so Shu Tian replied helplessly, "I see. I'm not going anywhere. I'll

always stay by your side."

The man's eyes were as soft as feathers. He tenderly ran his cool fingers through her ebony hair and

finally found the home to his drifting heart.
