Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Helan Fangnian thought that if he ever found ‘Monica’ again, he must hold her tightly in his arms, shelter her from the rain. Never to let her live in fear and uncertainty, wandering about in desperation. Never again to live her life being on the run.
Never did he think that upon seeing her again, she looked totally different from what he remembered.
Yan Qingsi laughed sarcastically. “Admit? Admit that we know each other, then make it public that we got to know each other at the red light district of Country M? Then have everyone think that I’m a prostitute from the red light district?”
Helan Fangnian retorted in anger, “Things were complicated back then! We were seeking shelter, a place to hide out of desperation. That was not a shameful act. Why would you speak of yourself in such a way!?”
Yan Qingsi was laughing to the verge of tears. “Helan Fangnian, why are you so naive? You went to those places before. In others’ eyes, you are no longer pure regardless of whether you have done those things or not. Your body is tainted. Nobody will believe your explanations. People will only believe what they want to believe in.”
Helan Fangnian was heartbroken. Yan Qingsi’s words were sharp and filled with sorrow. She was just a girl in her twenties but the experiences she had gone through were way beyond her age.
Helan Fangnian nodded. “Alright, we’ll leave those days behind. Neither of us will speak about it again. Can we... just give ourselves a new start?”
Yan Qingsi remained silent. Helan Fangnian was a nice person but she’s not!
Yan Qingsi gave it a thought. ‘Never mind, it’s in the past, nothing much to say about it now.’ She turned around and intended to leave.
Helan Fangnian called out to her, “Qingsi, why didn’t you tell me your real name?”
Yan Qingsi smiled with mockery. “You did not tell me you were Helan Fangnian either.”
Helan Fangnian explained quickly, “I was overseas. I didn’t think it would be useful to stick with my Chinese name.”
Yan Qingsi turned over. “Similarly, me too. When I got to know you, I’ve never thought of having a long-lasting friendship, neither have I wanted you to know me. Today, you have seen how evil and underhanded I can be. I am this kind of person.”
“No, you’re not...”
“Oh yes, I am. How long have you known me? Do you think you know me that well?”
Helan Fangnian stared at Yan Qingsi’s eyes. “The Yan Qingsi I knew was not like this and should not be this way either.”
Yan Qingsi replied coldly, “You must be disappointed. I am like this. This is my real self. The past... just like the name ‘Monica’, is all an illusion.”‘
“I don’t believe...”
“Helan Fangnian, do not be so naive. In this world, there aren’t many that can remain pure and undefiled despite these circumstances.”
Mrs. Yue—clearly agitated—nudged at her gloomy son. “Son, if you don’t hurry, she’s gonna be taken away.”
“Take away? He has to beat me first.”
Yue Tingfeng pushed the car doors open, strode toward Yan Qingsi.
Taking off his jacket on the way, he clumsily placed it over Yan Qingsi’s shoulders. “Yan Qingsi, why are you dawdling? Aren’t you done yet?”
Yan Qingsi instantly wrapped herself around Yue Tingfeng’s shoulders, while on her toes, attempted to kiss him.
Yue Tingfeng reacted immediately by hugging Yan Qingsi in his arms, kissing her tightly. Helan Fangnian’s face turned ashen in an instant.
