The Queen of Everything

Chapter 861: I Don’t Hate You

Time flies, yet some things that should have been left in the past a long time ago were in fact always still here. They’d left behind traces that could not be forgotten.

When Zong Yanxiu came to the hospital with his walking stick, he saw Zuo Zhici standing guard.

Zuo Zhici did not expect the visitor to be him. She was surprised to see Zong Yanxiu. She had cried a while ago, and her eyes were now red. When she saw Zong Yanxiu, she called out with difficulty, “Uncle Zong.”

Zong Yanxiu nodded and smiled gently at her. He asked softly, “How is your mother now?”

Zuo Zhici pointed to the ward. “She’s inside. She just woke up.”

She came out after she was notified that someone had come to see Ruan Yin.

She thought it was Su Cha, but she did not expect it to be Zong Yanxiu.

She looked behind Zong Yanxiu and asked expectantly, “Didn’t Sister come?”

Zong Yanxiu shook his head. “Your sister said that she has something on.”

Zuo Zhici’s eyes darkened. Everyone knew that that was just an excuse. If she did not want to see someone, she did not want to.

Actually, she could not be blamed.

She looked up and smiled sadly. “Uncle Zong, I’ll bring you in.”

She brought Zong Yanxiu into the room. The pale-faced person sitting on the bed turned around and was stunned to see Zong Yanxiu.

It was as if the memories overlapped. It was as if time had passed and finally painted the familiar face of the person in front of her.

Her hands were trembling in shock. The moment she saw Zong Yanxiu, her tears fell and she said in a trembling voice, “Yanxiu...”

He stood there. Even though he was holding a walking stick, he was still as elegant as he was back then. It was just that he had become more mature over time.

It was just like the first time Ruan Yin saw him. The lights and shadows were intertwined. He was wearing a white suit and stood in the middle of the crowd. His features were picturesque, and he was magnificent. He was the perfect existence that time favored the most.

He called her gently, “Ruan Yin.”

Ruan Yin.

Even after so many years, he still did not hate her.

There was a smile in his eyes, which was filled with the familiar light in Ruan Yin’s memory.

Zuo Zhici watched silently for a while before closing the door.

Some things could be discussed by the adults themselves.

He walked to the bed with his walking stick. Only then did Ruan Yin realize that something had happened to his leg. Her face turned pale as she recalled what had happened back then. She covered her face abruptly. “Why did you still come here? Why did you come to see me after what I did to you? You should hate me. You should hate me!”

“I don’t hate you.”

That’s what he said.

These words were more uncomfortable than a sentence conveying hatred.

Ruan Yin’s heart ached.

How could she have done such a thing to hurt this gentle and kind person in front of her?

He had a noble background, and everything around him was perfect. He’d had such a bright future.

All of this was destroyed by her and Zuo Shaoxin.

Even though he was back now, everything had changed. They had destroyed more than ten years of his life.

Ruan Yin’s body was trembling. Her body was already weak, but at this moment, she felt even worse. She had been in bad shape these past few days, and her complexion was ugly. She’d quickly aged.

Once a person started to age, they would try their best to maintain their looks. Once they relaxed, there would be a terrifying outcome.

Ruan Yin did not want Zong Yanxiu to see her current state.

“Ruan Yin.”

He called her softly again, put down his walking stick, and sat on the chair by her bed.
