On Our Wedding Night, My Comatose Husband Kissed Me!

Chapter 29 Not Meant to Be

“It isn’t in the past!” Zhong Yang suddenly stopped the car.

“Tong, I don’t believe that you are over me and forgot everything that we have experienced together! I know that you married Gu Nancheng just to save the Fang family. I am here now. Trust me, I will not disappoint you again. Give me a chance and get back with me, okay?”

“No!” Fang Tong rejected Zhong Yang without hesitation.

She turned and looked at Zhong Yang calmly. “From the moment my mother killed herself, it was over between us! All the promises and romantic feelings couldn’t compare to tangible benefits! Zhong Yang, I swallowed my pride and asked your parents for help, but how did they treat me? If they had lent me a helping hand, my mother wouldn’t have jumped off the building in despair!”

Recalling everything that happened that day, Fang Tong couldn’t help but tear up but she blinked hard and stubbornly held back her tears. “I know we were just dating then and I don’t have the right to ask your family for help. But Zhong Yang, my mother jumped off a building in front of me because of this. Every time I see you, I think of her lying in a pool of blood. How do you think I should face you or your parents?” “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, Tong…”

“I don’t need your apology!”

Fang Tong coldly interrupted Zhong Yang’s apology. “I know that you, like everyone else, think that I’m suffering while being married to Gu Nancheng! But, let me tell you, I’ve been very happy during this period. Grandfather Gu loves me like his own granddaughter, and my mother-in-law treats me like her daughter. Even when my sister was in trouble, she didn’t hesitate to help.”

“Yes, Gu Nancheng is far from ordinary, but at least he won’t abandon me. He’s by my side for as long as I need him and that’s enough! Even if he passes on, I’ll take care of Grandpa and Mom for him. This is the path I’ve chosen. I don’t need your pity, and I don’t need you to ‘rescue’ me!”

Zhong Yang understood that while Fang Tong’s words seemed to be defending Gu Nancheng, she was actually mocking his earlier cowardice. Every word hurt!

“Zhong Yang, if you have an iota of true feelings for me, I hope you won’t come back into my life and disturb me or worse, tell the Gu family about our past and ruin my happiness!”

After saying that, Fang Tong wanted to open the door to get out of the car, but the door was locked. She looked at Zhong Yang expressionlessly.

Zhong Yang came back to his senses and started the car again to send her back to the Gu residence.

The carved iron gates slowly opened. The moment before Fang Tong got out of the car, she heard Zhang Hong say, “Tong, would you believe me if I told you that I did ask my parents for help over and over again, and went on a hunger strike to scare them into agreement, which they finally relented?”

Fang Tong was silent momentarily before she replied flatly, “There’s no point in saying all this now! My mother is dead, and I’m married to Gu Nancheng. There’s no going back!”

Zhong Yang hurtfully closed his eyes and opened the central lock to let Fang Tong out of the car.

The Maybach sped away. Fang Tong looked at the disappearing car and slowly lowered her gaze. Zhong Yang asked her if she believed him?

She believed him, but so what? The timing was wrong! Perhaps they were just not meant to be married to each other.
