Chapter 768: Zhang Chongguang, Let's Try Again

ur years, Mingming had so many opportunities to hold onto her.But he let him off time and time again!The door to the ward opened, and Gu Changqing met Huo Shaoting face-to-face.Ho Shaoting was dressed...The bedroom was quiet.

Zhang Chongguang could not hear any sound, but his inner world had already crumbled. Just now Huo Xi said, "Zhang Chongguang, let's try again."

His eyes were closed.

He so badly wanted to agree, to respond with, "Xioxi, let's try again."

This time, he wouldn't let her down.

Treat her well.

Bring out all your best for her!

But what right does he have, Zhang Chongguang, what right do you have

Your left leg is disabled. You can't even walk, let alone have intimacy where the woman sits on top. You can't even provide her with the most basic necessities of life. What right do you have to start over with her

Zhang Chongguang slowly opened his eyes, his eyes held a glimmer of something.

When he spoke, it was slowly, deliberately, as if each word had been carefully considered. He looked straight ahead, his expression calm as he began to speak—

"Because I protected you during the car accident"

"How long has it been Does the truth even matter anymore What matters is that we are apart, divorced. We both have our own partners now... So, you're feeling regretful now and coming back to me Hosei, didn't you ask me before I told you I had no lingering feelings for the past."

……

Huo Xi softly asked him, "Do you have any regrets"

Zhang Chongguang let out a sneer.

He turned his head to look at her, a hint of coldness in his eyes: "There's some truth to that, after all, we raised three children together. But you want me to say more There isn't anything left to say. You think I'm like this because of you. I'm not even resentful towards you, it's pretty good considering the circumstances. Where could there be so much emotion left for you! He Lu is alright, although she can't compare to you in terms of looks, temperament, or family background... But that doesn't matter, what matters is that she's gentle and obedient, she never goes against me. It's quite comfortable being with her."

He mumbled, his heart aching.

Ho Xi listened quietly. After he finished speaking, they remained silent for a long time, facing each other.

She asked him, "What if I don't leave What if I have to stay and take care of you"

Zhang Chongguang clenched his fists tightly.

He stared into her eyes, seemingly calm yet tinged with an unnoticeable and impending storm… After a long silence, his thin lips softly uttered a few words: "Is that so"

The next second, without Hoshi's guard up.

She was roughly thrown onto the bed.

Then he pressed down on her, heavy and solid, their breaths mingling together in a hot tangle of sudden passion. He breathed against the soft skin of her neck... Huo Xi trembled uncontrollably.

Beside his ear, his teasing voice came: "Now that feels better, doesn't it"

That tone had a hint of mockery in it.

Huo Xi panted, looking at him. Zhang Chongguang's slender fingers lightly scraped her delicate cheek, his voice soft and gentle, but the words that came out were harsh: "Don't you have feelings for me Now that I'm pinning you down, why are you so unrestrained Is it because your current man is not good enough to satisfy you"

He deliberately spoke flippantly, intentionally humiliating her.

"Come on!"

"Aren't you going to wait for a cripple to get on top of you"

Hoxi's eyes were filled with tears, but she refused to leave. She stubbornly stared at her.

Zhang Chongguang's facial muscles were twitching.

Abruptly, he began to undress her, treating her roughly.

Hoxie didn't run away.

As her clothes fell away, his eyes were stabbed by the perfection of her slender body. He unbuckled his belt and pulled his trousers down... For the first time in front of another person, he didn't shy away from his scars.

Even after all this time, it remains fragmented.

His left thigh had no good place, the flesh and skin like pieces sewn together.

Huo Xi wanted to cry.

Zhang Chongguang, however, pinched her delicate chin and leaned in to kiss her lips gently. "Scary, isn't it" he asked. "It can't walk very well, and people often call it a dead cripple when it walks. It doesn't have much strength now. If you want to be with me, you'll have to put in some effort. Huo Xi, sitting on such a broken leg, do you really feel anything"

Ho Xi lay very softly on the bed.

Though he had taken off her clothes, at this moment neither of them had any thoughts besides sadness... and nothing else.

Her eyes were glistening with tears.

Once, she thought she hated Zhang Chongguang with every fiber of her being. She swore she would never shed a tear for him again. But who knew... Huo Xi knew that she was hopelessly smitten with him now.

It wasn't sympathy, the reason... she couldn't even explain it herself.

She has loved, and her heart has fluttered.

That feeling, perhaps, is quietly budding, but it's different from before.

She raised her hand, her delicate palm lying flat against his cheek. Looking at him up close, she realized he had really lost weight. Though still handsome, there was little flesh left on his face.

The skin-tight clothing is very snug.

Huo Xi caressed her inch by inch, her voice laced with tension. She whispered to him, "Does it still hurt"

Zhang Chongguang seized her hand.

He didn't speak, and didn't immediately push her away... Perhaps a heart that had been lonely for too long also needed this kind of comfort at this time.

He needs it, she needs it too.

He caressed her hand, cherishing it deeply, a stark contrast to his earlier behavior.

Slowly, interlocking her fingers, she pressed them against the bed sheet.

Unconsciously, he leaned down and kissed her... A restrained yet trembling kiss, his back muscles tense with restraint. Huo Xi didn't resist him at all; tears welled in the corners of her eyes, her lips trembled as she pressed against his.

This kiss was filled with the taste of heartbreak.

He had the drive to continue, he was a man with the woman he loved lying beneath him, so soft and yielding to his every touch. No one could resist such a thing.

He knew how he was, she wouldn't refuse.

Whether it was sympathy or moved, Huo Xi seemed at this moment to want to dedicate the rest of his life to him.

Zhang Chongguang is not a saint...

In a daze, he found that she didn't have the slightest bit of affection for him. She cooperated with him, but she had no feelings whatsoever. This discovery made him feel cold all over.

He didn't go on, burying his face in her neck.

Gently breathe to calm yourself.

For a long time, Zhang Chongguang whispered softly in her ear, like he was saying sweet nothings but full of the taste of farewell. He said softly, " Huo Xi, look at us, how can we continue like this and repair things A lifetime is not long or short, but we have hurt each other and redeemed each other. Let's end it here... As for the feelings I owe you, the feelings I owe to the Huo family, I think one leg is almost enough repayment."

Ho Xi gently closed his eyes: "Zhang Chongguang, is there only gratitude and debt between us"

"Or what What else"

"Actually, Hsi, there's no going back for us. As long as I'm with He Lu, she wouldn't have to force herself like you do! Even though my legs are disabled, she can still serve me without changing her expression. Even if it's for money or to change our fate, she serves me comfortably, and I feel good about it... Why would I give up a woman like this to settle for you"

"Hoxi, do you agree"

……

Huo Xi was dazed, even though she knew he was intentionally trying to provoke her, she still cared.

For these past days, He Lu has been by his side.

She couldn't bring herself to ask how far they had gone.

Is it true or false

The sweat from earlier had turned cold, Huo Xi slowly sat up... She hugged his shirt, holding it close to her chest. She understood what he meant; she was no longer a normal woman.

He had needs, and He Lu could satisfy him.

After a long silence, Huo Xi finally asked in a soft voice, "Do you still love me"

Ho Xi hummed and said she understood.

She got out of bed and started to get dressed. She didn't avoid him, but dressed in front of him.

Put on your clothes one by one.

When her clothes were neat, she didn't turn around but chose to face away. She whispered, "I'm leaving!"

Zhang Chongguang remained silent.

He propped himself up, leaning against the headboard. He reached for a cigarette on his bedside table and lit it... When he took a deep drag of smoke, it momentarily eased the pain in his heart.

Things had eased up a bit, and Hosie had already left.

The familiar pain in his chest returned, sentencing him to a lifetime of solitude.

A cigarette was half-smoked when a maid suddenly rushed upstairs, bursting in without knocking. Though the light was dim, you could still see clothes scattered on the floor, particularly belts, adding a hint of ambiguity to the scene.

The servant dared not look.

She quickly got to the point, "Mrs. just came down the stairs a moment ago and accidentally bumped into a vase, she's bleeding quite a bit from her wrist. I offered to take her to the hospital, but Mrs. refused, saying she'll drive herself."

Zhang Chongguang didn't even consider it, he just got up from the bed.

He still has at least one pair of underwear.

The servant hastily dodged.

Zhang Chongguang put on a pajamas and limped downstairs. He walked very quickly and urgently.

My legs hurt so much.

The parking lot outside the villa, Huo Xi's car hasn't left yet, and the window is still down.

She sat in the car, her bloody wrist laid outside.

And she was leaning her head, as if calculating that he would come down the stairs, gazing at him with deep and inscrutable eyes. There was a hint of mockery in her sharp gaze, a touch of triumphant ridicule.

Zhang Chongguang knew he'd been tricked; she did it on purpose, intentionally making him nervous.

Eye contact held for a long moment, then Huo Xi gave a slight smirk and started the car in front of Zhang Chongguang.

At the same time, the car window rose.

"Hoxi!"

Zhang Chongguang called her, but she ignored him. The expensive car slowly drove away from the villa.

Zhang Chongguang knew she was capable and nothing would happen.

He should go upstairs and think carefully about how to cope with the days to come, but he didn't want to move at all. He just stood there.

Later, he suddenly remembered the maple tree in the backyard.

He walked over slowly, his leg aching. And then he saw a tree of young, tender pink… It turned out that even in late summer, maple trees had quietly turned red.

Zhang Chongguang's lips trembled, and the muscles on his face twitched uncontrollably.

The maple trees turned red.

He, too, will probably wait for his autumn... tell her parents about wanting a divorce. She was waiting for Zhang Chongguang to come to his senses, hoping that once he cooled down, he would realize that letting go of his obsession would make him...
