Chapter 1239: Chapter 1266: When the Dust Settles (2)

Lu Xingshen’s body stiffened, "Little Nuan, are you going to leave your second uncle?"

"Second Uncle, thank you for taking care of me all these years."

Shi Nuan slightly raised her lips, her hair had grown to her ears, revealing the youthful charm much like a young girl, a beauty that Lu Xingshen had never seen before,

"I’ve found my lover now, I’m going to live the life I want, Second Uncle, I don’t hate you, but I can no longer have the slightest affection for you."

"From childhood to adulthood, no matter how you managed me, I never truly got angry with you. I know you were good to me. Your strictness, domination, or even harshness, I could withstand.

But you should never, ever have deceived me, you lied saying you saved me, lied to my family that they abandoned me..."

At this point, Shi Nuan’s eyes reddened again, she bit her lips hard to hold back the impulse to shed tears.

"Second Uncle, the bond between us was completely lost the moment you kept deceiving me, I really cannot interact with you as if nothing happened anymore."

Lu Xingshen clenched his fists tightly, because he was holding back some emotion, the veins on the back of his hand bulged, his throat dry,

"Is there really no way to retrieve it?"

Shi Nuan said nothing, but her silent attitude said it all.

Lu Xingshen felt hollow in his heart, this was the treasure he had cherished since childhood, the treasure he had protected with all his might, and he had completely lost her.

"Second Uncle, goodbye."

Shi Nuan turned around to leave, walked only a few steps.

"Little Nuan."

Lu Xingshen urgently called out to her.

Shi Nuan stopped her steps, but did not turn back.

She was waiting for Lu Xingshen’s further words.

After a few seconds, the man’s low voice, as if traversing countless years, sounded,

"I’m sorry."

Shi Nuan’s heart trembled, at that moment, she felt an utmost bitterness.

Second Uncle was apologizing to her, he actually apologized.

This was such a lofty man, he had never apologized to anyone, he was so proud, so arrogant and domineering, yet he gave all his humility to her.

I’m sorry, Little Nuan.

Sorry for not understanding what love is, for being too domineering, too selfish, only knowing to impose his thoughts on others, believing that he displayed all his goodness, never caring whether the other person wanted it or not.

Truly sorry, he clearly wanted to give Little Nuan love, wanted to protect her for a lifetime, but instead made her endure the worst in the first half of her life.

Sorry, Little Nuan was clearly a beautiful girl, but because of his possessiveness, she lived eighteen years as a boy.

He clearly knew she wanted to wear dresses, liked girly things, but he pretended to be deaf and dumb.

When others bullied her, ridiculed her, he never stood up to speak, only for that damned possessiveness.

Even deprived her of friends, controlled her life, never giving her what she wanted.

Sorry, knowing clearly Little Nuan most wanted her own family, he never gave it to her.

Instead, prevented her from returning home.

Thinking of this, Lu Xingshen felt more distressed, trying hard to recall the past, discovering that what he gave to Little Nuan contained no bit of sweetness.

Sorry for never giving you love and even hurting you.

So much left unsaid, but Lu Xingshen knew, Shi Nuan understood.

"Second Uncle, don’t entangle with me anymore. You should have your own life. Let’s not meet again in the future."

After saying, Shi Nuan turned to leave without hesitation.
