The Deepest, Darkest Secret (2)
That was the first time Lucien had seen such a beautiful woman, and although he could clearly see that she was of the same age as her mother, he couldn't help but compliment her appearance.
"Let's go, let's go home." The woman gently pulled on one of Duan Chenliang's hands, but unexpectedly was fiercely shaken off by him.
The woman was a bit embarrassed, but soon regained her composure, as if Duan Chenliang's reaction was also within her expectation.
"Which home are you going back to? Yours or mine?" Duan Chenliang calmly stared at the woman in front of him, but his eyes were filled with immense sadness.
That's Lucas Yang, an inexplicable kind of sadness. Disillusioned, disappointed, and even more...
The woman was stunned, her smile frozen, her face extremely embarrassed. The hand that Duan Chenliang had pushed back also slowly grasped the other hand, and the two hands rubbed against each other. In a weak voice: "Liang Liang, Mom knows, it's Mom's fault... but..."
It turned out that this was Duan Chenliang's mother. The woman Ruxi Yang had been dreaming of since childhood, was indeed very beautiful, even more so than she had imagined.
"When you left that year, didn't you feel sorry for me? Did you ever think of staying because you owed me an apology? You left at the most difficult time in this family. Are you still my mother? If it weren't for your father, he wouldn't have died either!" Duan Chenliang cut off the woman's words mercilessly, each syllable that came out of his mouth colder than the cold air at that moment.
Lucy Yang's heart trembled with fear, her hands and feet growing colder, the sorrow rising from the bottom of her heart like a shadow emerging from the water's surface, everything was so transparent and unbearable.
It turns out that those rumors in school were true.
So, you're not that Duan Chenliang who has everything.
It turns out you're just as unfortunate as I am.
"Xiang Xiang..." Duan Mu weakly called out the nickname, once again reaching out to gently grab Duan Chen Liang's wrist, her eyes filled with sorrow, evoking sympathy.
Ke Duan Chenliang once again shook off his mother's hand, his eyes firm and cold, saying decisively: "You can go, I'm used to being alone and I like it that way."
I have gotten used to being alone and also like being alone.
Lucy Yang heard this sentence and didn't know if it was because she could empathize with it, but the tip of her nose suddenly felt sour.
Is it really liking being alone, or is it forcing oneself to get used to it out of necessity?
"Liang Liang, Mom is just..."
"Get out! Can't you hear me telling you to leave?" Duan Chenliang suddenly shouted loudly, directly blocking his mother's words. "I'm telling you to get out!"
Duan Chenliang's sudden shout not only startled his own mother, but also scared Ruci Yang, who had just fallen into a vortex of sadness, out of her wits.
Lucy Yang had grown accustomed to Duan Chenliang's cold personality and unconsciously adapted to his taciturnity, so when faced with Duan Chenliang's sudden anger, it was both unexpected and startling for Lucy Yang.
Anyone who sees Duan Chenliang at this time will absolutely feel a sense of fear.
Duan Mu gazed at Duan Chenliang with a reluctant and sorrowful expression, her eyes lingering on him as he looked away. She seemed to want to say something but couldn't bring herself to speak, opening her mouth slightly before ultimately saying nothing and leaving with trembling steps.
Watching that lonely figure in the distance getting smaller and smaller until it became a small black dot, Duan Chenliang finally moved his stiff legs, and unintentionally turned around to catch a glimpse of Lu Xiyang standing behind him for a long time.
He turned around with some suspicion, and when he met Lucy's bright eyes, he had already guessed that she had seen everything that had just happened. Duan Chenliang blinked, his thick eyelashes fluttering like two small fans, his eyes filled with a hint of surprise and embarrassment.
Lucy Yang clenched her fists lightly, the cold wind blowing straight into her face, quickly drilling into her collar, a cool and refreshing feeling made her shiver involuntarily. She bravely stood in place, neither dodging nor explaining why she appeared here, because no matter how she concealed herself, she knew he would definitely be able to see through her intentions.
After all, too many things had happened before, and her intentions were too obvious.
The power has been out since yesterday and just came back on, I'm so excited!
