Chapter 996: If You’re Happy, You Can Keep Me Company
“Song Yao!” Cen Mo interrupted Song Yao mid-sentence, his gaze looking like the black storm clouds that gathered on the sea before a typhoon. “Whether Su Huan makes it back to see his father for the last time is Su Huan’s business. It doesn’t concern you…”
Song Yao gripped Cen Mo’s sleeve, choking up. She stared at Cen Mo with reddened eyes. “You clearly knew I had been with Su Huan back then! So why do you mind this now? Since you forced me to leave Su Huan, I haven’t had any entanglements with him! Why are you refusing to let Su Huan off now?”
“Yes… we did bump into each other today! But what did we say or do that is worthy of making you so angry? Regardless of whether it’s the watch or wallet, those are things of the past, things that happened before I met you! I can’t erase my past! What do you need me to do for you to let it rest?” Song Yao asked Cen Mo.
“Let go of me…” Cen Mo said.
“Your distrust towards me is a problem between the two of us, it’s my fault! What has this got to do with Su Huan? Su Huan’s biggest mistake in this lifetime… is meeting me and having dated me! But that’s not a crime! You can’t rob Su Huan of his opportunity to go back and see his father for the last time!”
Song Yao wiped away her tears with the back of her hand, still refusing to let go of Cen Mo…
Cen Mo stared at Song Yao’s pale-as-a-sheet face, narrowing his eyes. “All these days, you’ve been obedient. Why did you suddenly become so irritable when it comes to Su Huan’s matters?”
“Because I have a conscience! I’m not an animal! Not a pet! Not a machine!” Song Yao could no longer hold back her tears, and her voice sounded heavily muffled. “Do you know how I’ve gotten by since I betrayed Su Huan and got together with you? I feel that a person like me doesn’t deserve happiness. What right do I have, after hurting such a good man, to obtain fame! Obtain a man who loves me so much! A person like me should suffer retribution from the heavens!”
“You got together with me after you broke up with Su Huan!”
“But it doesn’t make a difference to me!” Song Yao shouted hysterically. She released Cen Mo’s sleeve in anguish, squatting down powerlessly and hugging her knees to her chest, crying like a child. “After breaking up with Su Huan, because of you, my life has been smooth. But the misfortunes that befell the Su family and Su Huan… were caused by me! Cen Mo, sometimes I really hate you! Hate you for forcing me to become a heartless woman, hate you for turning me into something I hate the most!”
“So… because of that Su Huan, you still hate me?” Cen Mo gazed at the woman squatting and crying, his voice so cold it made one fall into an ice cellar in an instant.
“Right! Hate you! But I hate myself even more! Hate myself for choosing to leave Su Huan for fame, hate myself for falling for you!” Song Yao then looked up. “I’ve seen Zhong Moli. I know about your past. You said I’ve been obedient these days…”
“You sympathize with me?” Cen Mo interrupted Song Yao, raising an eyebrow.
Cen Mo was aware of the fact that Zhong Moli had seen Song Yao…
Back when Song Yao was hospitalized, he stood vigil by her side day and night. When he finally couldn’t take it and went to rest, he arranged for many people to guard over Song Yao. At the time, other than friends particularly close to Song Yao, strangers wouldn’t be able to get near her!
When Zhong Moli went to visit Song Yao… before Zhong Moli entered the building, the people ensuring her safety had already called Saihand. Saihand knew Zhong Moli wasn’t a crook and also knew that Zhong Moli and Cen Mo were on friendly terms. Hence, he asked his men to remain where they were in the dark to continue protecting Song Yao, telling them not to expose themselves by confronting Zhong Moli.
“Not sympathy, but heartache! I’ve called your psychologist. I was conceited enough to believe that our child and I were special existences in your life, that with us around, you would be cured! But no matter how hard I try… you don’t believe I love you. Cen Mo… I’ll also get tired, I really will get tired! Loving you… is really tiring!”
The chilliness in Cen Mo’s eyes seemed to waver. He bent over and helped Song Yao to her feet, and the two of them stared at each other.
Cen Mo gazed deeply at Song Yao’s teary eyes. He used his fingers to wipe away the tears on her face, then spoke in a relaxed manner. “They say that all women are hard to grasp. I used to think I could see through you, but you were still all smiles and discussing what to have for breakfast with me at night. Yet, the next day, you dragged your luggage and disappeared without a trace, hiding from me with a disregard for your life!”
Song Yao bit her lip…
“In the morning, you were telling me in bed that you loved me and didn’t ever wish to part from me, but once I withdrew the people keeping tabs on you, I couldn’t find where you went in the afternoon!” Cen Mo pinched Song Yao’s jaw, forcing her to stop biting her lip that was bleeding from her biting too hard. He grazed his thumb against her lip in a gentle and doting manner, yet his gaze was cold. “Your words… I have no idea what is the truth and what is a lie!”
Cen Mo had trusted Song Yao before and had given her many opportunities. But every time Cen Mo chose to believe in Song Yao, he ended up very disappointed…
So, to Cen Mo, so long as he could keep Song Yao by his side, he didn’t care about what method he used. He wasn’t afraid that Song Yao would hate or resent him either!
He only feared that Song Yao would disappear without a word one day, that he would never get to hear news about Song Yao again, or that he would hear some news that made him despair and lose control!
“Then how are we going to get along?” Song Yao pulled Cen Mo’s hand, placing it on her tummy. “How do you want our child to see his parents get along with each other? If you’re really so doubtful of me… in the future, wherever you go, I’ll tag along. Will that do?”
Cen Mo merely stared at Song Yao and said nothing.
“Or I won’t leave the bedroom, okay? From now on, I’ll stay here and wait for you to come back! If you’re happy, you can keep me company. If not, you can lock me up!”
“Song Yao, stop talking spitefully!” There were indistinct signs that Cen Mo’s ruthless nature was starting to rise to the surface.
Song Yao shook her head. She was smiling, but tears kept slipping down. She said, “I’m not saying these words out of spite! It’s because I already… don’t know what I can do to make you feel that I absolutely won’t leave you. Do I need to carve out my heart for you to see? Hmm?”
Her nostrils were flaring slightly as she spoke. Her heart hurt so much that she wanted to take it out of her body.
She and Cen Mo were clearly so close, yet it felt like the world’s greatest distance was the distance between them…
They clearly loved each other, but he didn’t believe it. There was nothing more sorrowful than this!
Perhaps, Song Yao’s entire life was sorrowful!
Yes, back then, she broke up with Su Huan and chose to be with Cen Mo. After she fell in love with Cen Mo, she was unable to get over the knot in her heart, constantly feeling that her being blissful was unfair to Su Huan!
