"You... you saw it?" Yi Nansheng was shocked. He thought Jian Yunong had only heard about it from others. He never expected that Jian Yunong had actually witnessed it with her own eyes.
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
Although a long time had passed, the scene from that moment was still etched in her mind, becoming a haunting nightmare.
Even during her most reckless moments, Jian Yunong could not forget what had happened.
She stood outside the slightly ajar door, seeing Yi Nansheng pressed against a strange woman. It was a humiliating position, yet both of them seemed to be enjoying it, their voices loud enough to penetrate the door, announcing to the world how passionate and joyful they were.
They moved vigorously, completely unaware that Jian Yunong was standing just outside, her clear eyes wide open, recording everything.
It wasn't her choice, but all of this was deeply imprinted in her heart.
So much so that she didn't even have the courage to break up with Yi Nansheng face to face, fearing that just seeing his face would trigger a physical reaction that made her want to vomit.
At that time, Jian Yunong hurriedly left the country. Her sudden escape made Yi Nansheng realize that she knew about his infidelity.
Because someone else also knew he had slept with a stranger—his roommate. His roommate scolded him, and he thought it was his roommate who had told Jian Yunong about it.
Once things reached that point, Yi Nansheng knew there was no way to salvage the situation and could only give up.
In addition, at that time, Jian Yunong's family had an incident, and in order to help Jian Mother, Yi Nansheng chose to marry Le Yi.
Yi Nansheng thought this matter had passed, but he did not expect that it actually had not.
Jian Yunong took a deep breath. "My psychological issues started from that moment."
Although Yi Nansheng had guessed it, when he actually heard this from Jian Yunong's mouth, he was shocked into silence.
"I'm sorry."
Aside from this one sentence, Yi Nansheng did not know what else to say.
Jian Yunong buried her face deeply in her palms; this was something that could not be fixed with just an apology. She was also very troubled. Clearly, this matter had happened so long ago, why couldn't she fully recover?
She felt confused herself.
"At that time, I was abroad. My roommate advised me to see a psychologist, so I went. The doctor said I had severe psychological disorders and moderate depression. I said, 'No way, doctor, how could I have depression? I just can't interact with boys. I'm not in pain every day; I'm very cheerful.' The doctor said that people with depression tend to hide their true emotions."
At that time, Jian Yunong had just gone abroad; she did not want to be a negative person and smiled brightly at everyone she met.
Only when she was alone would she show her sorrowful expression and smoke all night long.
She defined all her awkwardness and abnormalities as heartbreak. Who wouldn't feel sad and unhappy after a breakup?
After all, she and Yi Nansheng had grown up together and had promised to get married after graduation.
Now, all the beautiful fantasies about the future have been shattered. It feels like something is being forcibly stripped away from the body.
Even a little injury can hurt, let alone the separation of flesh and blood.
"I thought it was just a minor issue at that time. I kept telling myself that I would get better soon, but what I never expected was that psychological problems are not like catching a cold, where taking some medicine and getting a shot would suffice."
Jian Yunong forced a bitter smile, tears welling up in her eyes. "I have always been a failure. I am timid, I am weak, and I like to escape. I am not strong enough, so I cannot conquer my inner demons."
So much time has passed, and she no longer feels embarrassed to blame Yi Nansheng.
She only blames herself. If... if she were strong enough... would she then become a mentally healthy normal person?
Tears seemed impossible to wipe away completely.
Yi Nansheng's heart felt as if it were being squeezed by something, then pulled out from his chest, slowly crushed in Jian Yunong's tears.
"Nong Nong."
Yi Nansheng hesitated, "Actually..."
Forget it. Halfway through his words, Yi Nansheng chose to give up.
What Jian Yunong needs most right now is rest.
He didn't want to agitate her emotions any further.
"Don't worry. No one will lock you up again while you're with me."
Yi Nansheng raised his hand, wanting to hold her in his arms to comfort her properly, but in the end, he only paused for a moment and gently patted her back.
He didn't dare to touch her, fearing that she would feel disgusted.
Jian Yunong responded with a nasal tone, "Mm. Thank you."
She still believed in Yi Nansheng.
It's just that...
"If you take me away, will it cause you any trouble?"
Jian Yunong really didn't want to bring any more trouble to Yi Nansheng.
She truly couldn't repay him.
Yi Nansheng smiled at her, "It won't."
If this matter gets out, the only ones who will be embarrassed are the Huo Family.
Moreover, the Huo Family could at most force him to divorce and suppress his business.
As for the latter, Yi Nansheng was not afraid at all. He had long wanted to break free from the Huo Family and had secretly shifted his capital over the years, making anonymous investments in other industries.
As for Yi Nansheng, he desired nothing more than to be free; he was thinking about divorcing Le Yi.
If it weren't for Le Yi, Jian Yunong wouldn't have ended up like this.
...
Things developed exactly as Yi Nansheng had anticipated; the Huo Family made no moves at all.
However, Yi Nansheng received a call from Ji Shaoli.
"The Huo Family is causing trouble for Shen Shen."
That's enough!
Yi Nansheng was furious. "Isn't my aunt pregnant now? The Huo Family really stops at nothing."
Ji Shaoli reassured him, "Shen Shen is currently on leave; I've arranged for her to rest abroad. Given her situation, it's indeed not suitable for her to know about Nong Nong."
With Mist Shenshen's personality, even if it were like hitting a rock with an egg, she would probably confront the Huo Family.
Ji Shaoli then asked, "How is Nong Nong doing now?"
He wasn't very clear about the entire situation.
He only knew that the Huo Family had come to accuse Jian Yunong of being unfaithful and having unresolved issues with her ex-boyfriend.
Yi Nansheng told him everything.
Even the gentle and refined Ji Shaoli couldn't help but feel anger at this moment.
"Ridiculous!"
"The Huo Family just wants to replace Huo Jincheng's wife because Huo Liangchen changed his."
"When the Huo Family needed Nong Nong's blood to save their lives, they weren't like this. It's better to leave such ungrateful people behind."
However, Jian Yunong had already developed feelings for Huo Jincheng!
Even if Yi Nansheng didn't want to admit it, he couldn't ignore this fact.
Ji Shaoli quickly calmed down. "Does Huo Jincheng not know about this?"
In his impression, Huo Jincheng was someone who cherished his wife!
Yi Nansheng sneered, "What does it matter whether he knows or not? Anyway, Nong Nong has already been tormented. Moreover, if it weren't for him, Nong Nong wouldn't have psychological issues."
