Chapter 16 You Did Sway
The string pulled tight in my mind finally snapped.
I rushed forward and tore Xie Yiheng's design drafts to shreds.
I screamed at him, out of control.
"After everything, you're still putting on this deep-love act?"
"Can you say that when you found out I got a Divorce, nothing moved in your heart at all?
Can you say that when you made me your assistant, there was not a single selfish thought?
Can you say that when you designed a new house for me, you did not miss those days when it was only the two of us, even a little? "
"I don't know why you suddenly changed, but you must have swayed. Didn't you?"
My questions landed one after another like needles driven into his skull.
Xie Yiheng's head looked ready to split. His stomach heaved.
He bent over and retched, unable to stop himself.
The bones of the wrist gripping the desk edge stood out. He had wasted down to skin over bone.
His throat felt stuffed with cotton.
He could not throw anything up.
He could not swallow anything down.
Even breathing felt like torture.
Xie Yiheng slowly lifted his eyes to me.
"You're right. I did sway."
"But before I even had time to face what I had done, she had already given up on me."
"I don't even know when her love for me started to disappear."
"In that moment, do you know how panicked I was?"
I had never seen him fall apart like this.
I could not help feeling sorry for myself.
"So what if you still can't let her go? Wen Yu is about to marry your so-called brother! You can't change that!"
Xie Yiheng's eyes went wide and bloodshot. He roared.
"Gu Chaonan is not my brother. He is a thief!"
"Wen Yu is mine. She came here for me!"
I stepped back without thinking.
I was sure Xie Yiheng had lost his mind.
