Because I simply love you

Chapter 80: Already hurt her enough

Huian kept quiet. Jianyu and Nana were very good friends so she knew she would get dosage from him as well.

"Hitting someone is the last stage you get at. It's not like you caught them on the bed or having an affair. So, why did you flip out so much? You didn't even ask!"

Tears started flowing.

"I knowI already know now. That's why I came here to apologize."

He shook his head in disappointment, "Why? I can't understand. Bro and you are happily married. Why did you suddenly get so insecure?"

"I-"

How can she tell him about those letters?

Jianyu turned towards Nana and said, "Um, Nana. Can you please leave us alone for a sec?"

After a pause, she nodded and left.

Huian was confused. Why ask her to leave?

Jianyu then stared at Huian and after a few seconds of silence, he asked, "Cousin-in-law. I want to ask you one question. Answer me honestly."

She furrowed her brows.

"Y-yes?"

"Did you come here on your own accord or did bro and uncle force you to?"

She stiffened.

"How can you ask me this Jianyu?", she made a wronged face.

He smiled, "Because you and I both know that you never like to admit your mistakes much less ask for forgiveness. You feel insulted if you are made to do so."

Her face cracked in annoyance.

"That's not true."

"Yes, it is. Don't you remember? When you and bro were nine. There was this one girl in elementary school who confessed to bro. You got so angry that you dumped a bucket full of muddy and dirty water on her and even tore her dress. Uncle and Aunt Xiang were very disappointed when they came to know about it. They told you to say sorry but you didn't do it. You never felt like what you did was wrong."

She bit her lips. "That was the past."

"And it is still the present. At that time you didn't budge. But you had to when they threatened that they will send you to the boarding school. You should have seen your face when you apologized to that girl. Everybody could see that you still felt no remorse."

"What is your point!?", she asked angrily.

"It's very simple. If you are forced to come here, then I will have to tell you to leave. Because I don't want you to insult my girlfriend anymore with your fake apology. You have already done enough of that.", he said coldly.

Huian widened her eyes in shock.

"Girlfriend?"

"Yes. She is my girlfriend. You have already hurt her enough. Don't waste her time if you don't mean your sorry."

Huian was intimidated by his coldness a little. But she felt elated to know that she is his girlfriend now.

She cannot be a threat to me anymore!

"Are you now happy knowing that she is in a relationship with me?", he mocked her.

She snapped back.

"N-no. I mean yes. But not the way you think", she smiled nervously. "And I really feel sorry. Please don't doubt my intentions.", she started sobbing.

He didn't respond.

"Nana?", he called.

She slowly came out.

He smiled, "Sorry for asking you to do that."

She shook her head. "No problem."

Huian quickly came to her and held her hand, "So, Nana. Do you forgive me? I promise it won't happen again. I will treat you like my sister. We are going to be relatives after all. Jianyu gave me the good news. Congratulations."

Nana smiled with a neutral face. "Thank you. Andit's okay. I forgive you."

She gave a wide smile. "Thank you. Thank you so much, Nana. You lifted such a huge burden off me. I was feeling terribly guilty since yesterday."

She just smiled and said nothing.

Liu Corps.

Han Ru arrived office a little later than usual. He was learning very well under Assistant Xin's guidance and was already handling some important jobs.

He came to CEO'S office to keep the reports on the latest developments of certain projects on Jinhai's desk for him to review when he comes.

Just when he kept the last report, his sight went to a small letter kept under a pen stand. It had a floral and light design.

He picked it up and examined it.

What is this letter doing here? I have never such paper before, he thought

He opened and read it.

He frowned. Huh? What does this mean?

Then he remembered how Huian had talked about this before.

Didn't Lady Liu say about one of her friends who will send such meaningless letters? Is this one of them?

He saw it again. Sure is one weird letter.

Oh yeah! I had to call her.

He dialed the number she gave.

Huian was still at Natsukashi when her phone rang.

She saw an unknown number and frowned.

"Hello."

"Hello. Lady Liu?"

"Yes."

"I'm Han Ru."

"Huh? Who Han Ru?", she asked in confusion.

"Mam, I was the one who bumped into you that day in Liu Corps. You told me to call you if I see any letter for Sir."

She widened her eyes in shock. He is that guy? Wait. If he has called me then

"Did you find any letter?", she asked panicking in a low voice.

"Yes, mam. I couldn't make out anything of it, so I remembered it must be your friend's prank."

"Yes-yes! Um...Jinhai didn't see it right?"
