Chapter 1822: Sincerely
“No, why would I inform the Qiao family? Nan Nan, you should know that I’ve always been helping you. You should be following the news about the Qiao family too, right? If I were to tell the Qiao family about you, that would be creating more trouble for you. Nan Nan, you’ve had it hard all these years. Can you give me a chance to make it up to you and a chance to give you happiness? Can the two of us start afresh again? I promise you that I’ll never make the same mistake again. I’ll have eyes for you only!”
The excited Chen Jun could not even wait for Qiao Nan to open the door and simply spilled out his confession, asking for reconciliation.
Only in the moment that he said this did Chen Jun realize just how much he missed those times he had had with Qiao Nan and how much he wished his relationship with Qiao Nan could return to what it had been in the past. He yearned to be with Qiao Nan and to be her husband. He had sincere feelings for her.
“Nan Nan, please open the door. I miss you very much. Can I just meet you for a while? Nan Nan, I really miss you.”
Chen Jun’s confession that he thought expressed his deep feelings and regret disgusted Qiao Nan so much that she nearly vomited. “Initially, I already intended on not opening the door for you. Now, even more so I can’t open it for you. Chen Jun, just leave. Half a year ago, you were my brother-in-law. Today, you’re still my ex-brother-in-law. Besides these two identities, you’ll never have another one with me. Don’t come looking for me in the future. There’s no way I’ll ever be with you. I must be retarded and blind to get back together with you.”
Ten years ago, she had already been agitated by the sight of Qiao Zijin showing off her stomach in front of her. She had already closed her heart off to this man, Chen Jun.
“Nan Nan, I know that you’re still angry at me and you still hate me because of what happened that year. But Nan Nan, life is short. We don’t have much time left to waste. Now that we’re middle-aged, we should cherish the happy times we have instead of wasting time on regret and hatred. Nan Nan, right from the beginning, you are the only one I’ve ever loved. I fell for Qiao Zijin’s trap that day. She was the one who made me drunk.”
If it was not for the fact that he had been drunk, he would definitely have worn protection while doing it with Qiao Zijin, even if she was unwilling to eat a contraceptive. Qiao Zijin would never have had the chance to get pregnant.
“Nan Nan, give me another chance. Just one. I assure you that I’ll prove my determination to you in the future. As long as you’re willing to return to my side, you can get back at me or punish me in any way you like!” As long as Qiao Nan agreed to return to his side and give him a feeling of home.
“That won’t be necessary.”
If not for the fact that she could not open the door, Qiao Nan wanted very much to chase Chen Jun away with a broom. This man was downright disgusting. When Qiao Zijin had been hospitalized, she had unknowingly overheard Qiao Zijin saying that she had cheated on Chen Jun because Chen Jun had done so first. Chen Jun had a countless number of women outside of their marriage.
She had never made a fuss out of it, not out of ignorance, but because she did not want to create trouble. She had once received a call from a twenty-year-old university student, asking her to back off and allow this ‘true love’ to have her rightful position.
“Chen Jun, I’m not going to open the door for you today. Not tomorrow. Not ever. You might think that I’m refusing to open the door for you or reconcile with you because I’m still upset about your betrayal. But I’m telling you now that that’s not the case. I’m doing this for the sake of my own happiness, so I’m never going to get back together with you. Even if all the men in this world die, I’d much rather remain single for the rest of my life than marry you. Don’t talk about hatred. I’ve long lost any feelings toward you!”
Hatred? Nonsense!
There was still a little resentment.
But even this had all but disappeared the moment she woke up after the car accident. In her eyes, Chen Jun was simply her brother-in-law—ex-brother-in-law, to be exact. There was nothing more to it. Even if Chen Jun was so shameless and wanted to get back together with her, she was not!
Qiao Nan could not help but pick up her phone to call the Chen family. “Are you not going to care about Chen Jun’s ridiculous actions? The Chen family is still a reputable family in Ping Cheng. Is your family prepared to be humiliated by your son clinging on to his ex-wife’s sister who was once his sister-in-law?”
Upon hearing Qiao Nan’s questioning, Father Chen frowned. “What tone are you using on me? Is this how you should be treating your elders? Actually, both your mom and I already agreed to you being with Chen Jun at that time. It’s just that something unfortunate happened. It’s true that this is slightly complicated to deal with. You’re not shameless enough, and with the Qiao family bugging you, I understand that you’re feeling frustrated. But your concerns are no longer a problem. Chen Jun will be transferred out of Ping Cheng, and our whole family will be leaving together. You can just get married to Chen Jun once we reach the new place.”
Qiao Nan’s words might have been unpleasant and her tone curt, but at the very least, what she had said had been out of consideration of the Chen family. Based on this, Father Chen was willing to forgive Qiao Nan just this once, but he would never do so again. Qiao Nan could not speak as agitatedly and sharply as Qiao Zijin.
“…” Qiao Nan finally understood why Chen Jun could be so brazen and shameless as to demand a reconciliation, not caring about comments from others. It was because the Chen family had already found a way out of this mess. She had been curious about it. After all, Chen Jun was not such a shameless person, much less Father and Mother Chen.
There was no way the Chen family could care so much about her that they were willing to give up their reputation. Now, the facts proved that she was indeed not so important to the Chen family, much less to Chen Jun. “I’m sorry, Uncle Chen. I hope that you’ll make a call to your son. I have absolutely no feelings for Chen Jun. I only treat him as my brother-in-law. I hope you understand. Chen Feng is still young and needs someone to take care of him. I hope Chen Jun will get remarried. As long as you have someone suitable in mind, I wholeheartedly support Chen Jun getting remarried.”
If a woman had true feelings for a man, she would never support him marrying another woman, especially when he had just proposed reconciliation.
“Are you saying this out of spite? Or are you really sincere about it?” Father Chen was much calmer than Chen Jun. He thought that Qiao Nan was someone who looked soft on the outside but was strong on the inside. Although she was docile and gentle normally, she could flare up once she got angry. Otherwise, Qiao Nan would have been trampled upon by the Qiao family long ago. He himself had not forgotten about that incident, so it was no wonder that Qiao Nan still kept that in mind.
