CHAPTER 816 DON'T GO DOWN MY OLD PATH

"I..." Xue Ning wanted to say that Jiang Daoran was her happiness. But she knew that she didn't have a place in Jiang Daoran's heart at all.

"I got it."

She squeezed a smile out and started eating the food that Jiang Daoran placed in her bowl. This was the first time he did that for her.

She thought it would be delicious but it seemed a little sour now. She wasn't sure if it was because the food wasn't fresh or if it was because she was crying. It felt terrible.

"I've always known," Xue Ning continued to eat and talk without looking at Jiang Daoran. "You only have her in your heart and I would never be able to replace her. In fact, I've never thought of replacing her spot in your heart.”

"And actually, I really admire her for sacrificing so much for you. I also envy her for having that chance to sacrifice that much for you.”

If she were the one who had to make that decision, Xue Ning felt that she would have made the same choice without hesitation.

Jiang Daoran didn't know what to say.

Fifteen years had passed and they were fifty now. After living for so long, it was too tiring to talk about the past.

"Don't worry, I've given up," Xue Ning's tears fell even faster. "I just can't help crying, you don't have to bother about me."

She continued to eat mouthful after mouthful of food. She had worked hard to learn how to cook all these dishes and only dared to ask Jiang Daoran over to eat after she had tried cooking them several times and made sure that she was up to standard.

But in the end, Jiang Daoran still told her to give up. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

She seemed to have given up a long time ago, but it also seemed like she never gave up.

"Xue Ning.” Jiang Daoran was feeling really awful inside. ‘Tm sorry."

"You don't have to apologize, you didn't do anything wrong." Xue Ning squeezed a smile out. "It's my fault. If I didn't fall for you, then everything would have been alright."

"Finish the food today? Please? Just this once?"

Xue Ning looked at Jiang Daoran and she sounded like she was pleading with him.

Jiang Daoran didn't say anymore. He started to eat large mouthfuls of food heartily. He couldn't bear to let Xue Ning continue to be so sad anymore, but at the same time, he had already hurt her a long time ago.

The two of them remained silent as they continued to eat the piping hot dishes. One kept crying while the other never said anything and the atmosphere was very awkward.

After they were done eating, Xue Ning got up to clear the dishes. She never allowed the servants to touch Jiang Daoran's plates because she felt that it was her responsibility to take care of her husband.

"Actually I promised her to take good care of you," said Xue Ning as she stood at the doorway. She turned to look at Jiang Daoran. "But it seems like you don't need it."

After that she turned back and quickly left before breaking down in tears again.

Jiang Daoran's emotions were a mess.

After fifteen years, he hadn't improved in terms of his love life at all. He had let one woman down, and now he had hurt another. He suddenly felt that compared to Jiang Ning, he was the worst douchebag alive.

"I've been a bad example as his father. That's why that fellow cherishes that one woman he loves so much, I suppose,” Jiang Daoran laughed bitterly at himself. "It's good, it's good that way."

Jiang Ning had no boundaries when it came to caring for and protecting Lin Yuzhen. He truly treated Lin Yuzhen as the most important person in his life. He would never let any harm come to her and he would never let her feel sad or upset.

It seemed like the Jiang Daoran of the past was such a man before too. But somehow as time went by, things turned out differently.

Tve been living like an animal for the past fifteen years."

Jiang Daoran got up and returned to the study. He had slept in this study for the past fifteen years, and made Xue Ning sleep all by herself in the bedroom for fifteen years too.

She was so devoted to him, but he had let her down in the end.

"Punk, you'd better not go down my old path."

Jiang Daoran opened the safe and took out some things from inside. His gaze

became sharp as if there were beams shooting out from it. If someone were around, he would have been shocked at how much murder was spewing from the eyes of the usually calm and gentle Jiang

Daoran.

"No, you won't. Even if I have to die, I will never let you walk down that path!"
