Fu Sinian felt like a third party witnessing their love story. They devoted to each other and were openly affectionate. As for him, he only endured it in silence. However, no matter how hurt he was, he couldn't bear to leave Xu Zijin.

He had no choice but to witness helplessly as she gradually forgot him and fell in love with Fu Chen. His heartache was like a hungry beast eating his bleeding heart. It threatened to devour him, eat him whole and leave nothing but scraps behind.

Suddenly, a sound of broken glass echoed in the study.

In a gust of uncontrollable anger, he crumbled the glass in his fingers. The broken glass pierced into his palm and blood oozed out at once. He glared at the last line on the note, his eyes burning with envy.

"Zijin said that she loved Fu Chen."

Fu Sinian knew that Fu Chen was challenging his patience on purpose. But he couldn't control himself anymore as the anger of being betrayed overwhelmed him.

What made him angrier was Xu Zijin's voice outside.

When she woke up, she found that Fu Chen was not by her side. She was so scared that she immediately got up and walked out of the bedroom barefoot while calling out Fu Chen's name.

"Chen... Chen... Where are you? Chen..."

'Chen?! How can she call him Chen! When did they two become so close to each other?' At the thought of that, his face clouded, as a hint of darkness appeared in his eyes.

Overwhelmed with rage, he was about to lose all his self-control. Just then, Xu Zijin, who had come to the door of the study, began to walk towards him.

"Chen... Are you here?" Xu Zijin stretched out her hands and carefully felt her way forward. But she didn't expect that her knees would hit the tea table. She hissed with pain.

Fu Sinian immediately came over and steadied her so as to protect her from falling down.

Catching the familiar smell of Fu Chen, Xu Zijin breathed a sigh of relief and smiled brightly.

"Chen, you're here. I was looking for you.

Chen, are you getting tired of me because I'm clumsy-handed? Only now can I begin to apprehend the inconvenience of a blind person...

Chen, the doctor told me that I could undergo a corneal transplant soon. I really want to see you soon...

Chen, what's wrong? Why don't you speak?

Chen..."

'Chen! Chen! Chen!! All she can think of is Fu Chen?!'

As her soft voice echoed in his ears, Fu Sinian looked down at her and was annoyed by the big sunny smile on her beautiful face.

'Is Fu Chen the only thing she remembers now?

In the past, she only smiled at me; she only showed her tenderness to me. She should belong to me!

She pulled me out of the darkness again and again.

My name Fu Sinian is a symbol of family hatred. I'm the child of the Fu family. I'm the only hope of the Fu family. I shouldn't let my dead family down. I have always handled everything very well. But the family hatred is in fact an invisible heavy shackle which will bind me for the rest of my life, it seems. With it I can't live freely.

Only Xu Zijin treated me sincerely. She loved me with no thought for a reward.

She wanted me only.

Because of her, I haven't become a slave of hatred. Every time I met her loving eyes, I felt a compulsion to run away. I felt like a despicable person conning an innocent girl.

Finally, she stopped loving me and fell for another man, just as I had hoped. The anger of losing her turns into an invisible, hot flame kissing my soul every minute and every second.

Every word she said to Fu Chen is like a steel needle pricking into my heart, leaving a sharp pain,' he thought.

Suddenly, a soft hand touched his face. The very next second, Xu Zijin asked with concern, "Chen, why don't you speak? Are you feeling uncomfortable? Chen, please say something. I'm scared. Now I only have you..."

Hearing this, the last brick that had kept Fu Sinian's wall of strength standing high for so long was finally crushed. Jealousy and anger engulfed all his senses.

'She only has Fu Chen?! What about me? What do I mean to her? An enemy?' he thought.

His pent-up emotions burst out from within like flood water. He couldn't hold it back anymore, so he pinched her delicate chin and started kissing her soft lips roughly.

'That's enough! I don't want to hear her mention another man,' he yelled in his heart.
