Chapter 212: Just As If We Have Never Loved
I didn’t expect it to be Mu Chaoran.
"Mr. Mu," the butler's pace quickened, "you're back."
Mu Chaoran walked straight inside and asked, "Where is she?"
"My wife just came back, but she looks... not in a good mood, a little depressed."
Mu Chaoran paused, without saying a word, and walked through the entrance hall to the living room.
Lin Xige was still standing in the middle of the living room.
She recognized his footsteps.
However, she did not look back.
Mu Chaoran slowly walked to her side, stretched out his hand to put his arm around her shoulders, but was afraid that she would resist and push him away, so he paused in mid-air for a long while, and finally had to withdraw his hand dejectedly.
"Mrs. Lin hasn't woken up yet," Lin Xige said softly, "I'm back for the time being."
"When she wakes up, I'll go to the hospital with you again."
Lin Xige turned around, tilted her head, and faced Mu Chaoran.
She asked: "After she woke up, she recognized me, and I restored my original identity... So, should I move in with the Lin family?"
She's moving away!
Mu Chaoran's pupils suddenly shrank.
How could he get used to living in this huge imperial garden without her?
Mu Chaoran couldn't help but raise his hand to hold her shoulder, the force in his hand was a little heavy: "No!"
Lin Xige frowned.
It was unclear whether it was because he hurt her or because he dismissed her words.
Mu Chaoran didn't realize it and was completely immersed in the fear of losing her.
"You live here, this is your home," Mu Chaoran said, "No, this is our home, Xige."
"Mu Chaoran, the Lin family is my real home."
The country home that Li Fang offered was never that.
The small apartment where she and Mu Chaoran lived was not one of them at all.
Only the Lin family in Haicheng is Lin Xige’s lifelong home!
"Yuyuan is also a real home!" Mu Chaoran's voice rose unconsciously, "You lived in your mother's house for the first twenty years, and you lived in our home for the next few decades!"
Lin Xige looked at him expressionlessly.
After a few seconds of silence, Mu Chaoran realized his gaffe.
He shouldn't be so excited.
He was yelling at her.
Mu Chaoran took a deep breath and calmed himself down.
He softened his voice and said as calmly as possible: "Xige, if you want to stay at the Lin family for a few days, that's totally fine. I can understand and support you. When you've stayed long enough, you should return to the Imperial Garden... Do you understand?"
He even said, "I can live with you at the Lin family."
Anyway, Mu Chaoran wants to stay with Lin Xige.
He couldn't accept a time without her in his life.
Lin Xige sighed.
"Mu Chaoran, you know exactly what I want to say," she said softly, "After returning to the Lin family, I won't go anywhere else. Both my body and my heart have settled down."
After wandering outside for twenty-five years, Lin Xige finally returned to his home and just wanted to stay there forever.
Accompanying Mr. and Mrs. Lin as they grow old, and watching their children grow up.
This is the meaning of her life.
Mu Chaoran pressed his thin lips into a straight line, and a gloomy look flashed across his eyebrows, but he hid it well.
He withdrew his hand and let it fall to his side.
He is a coward.
In front of Lin Xige, Mu Chaoran is the one who is worried about gains and losses.
Although Lin Xige spoke very tactfully, he understood.
She was going to leave, she was going to leave and never come back to him.
She still wants to...
divorce.
After the truth was revealed and seen the light of day, Lin Xige's idea of divorce not only did not subside, but became even more deeply rooted.
"Mu Chaoran," Lin Xige called his name, "Letting me go is also letting yourself go."
He didn't respond.
Lin Xige added: "Let's stop here. If we continue to argue, it will only cause more pain."
She couldn't forgive him.
Although she loved him very much.
However, whenever Lin Xige thought about the fact that he had a conspiracy before he came to her, she felt that this marriage...
It was extremely dirty and dark.
Mu Chaoran did not win in this conspiracy.
Lin Xige didn't win either.
Both he and she lost, lost miserably, all of them were complete failures.
There are no winners in love.
Mu Chaoran lost because he fell in love with Lin Xige.
Lin Xige lost because of her innocence and also because of falling in love with Mu Chaoran.
The love she gave him was no less than what he gave her.
Her love is clear and clean, without any impurities.
He is not worthy of it.
If Mu Chaoran did not fall in love with her during their time together in Su City, her fate would be to be used by him and become his stepping stone.
Even if the Lin family tried their best to help her get a divorce, I'm afraid that half of the marital property would still be divided up by Mu Chaoran.
Moreover, with Mu Chaoran's methods, he will suppress the Lin family in the future.
Fortunately, this did not happen.
"Mu Chaoran, let's get a divorce." Lin Xige still said this, "Just pretend that we have never loved each other."
Mu Chaoran's heart was suddenly filled with disappointment.
Such cruel words.
Never loved.
how can that be possible?
For so many days and nights, they slept in each other's arms, and they depended on each other.
They lived together and created many memories together, which are worth cherishing and pursuing for a lifetime...
How can I not love you? How can I forget you?
"Impossible," Mu Chaoran said, his voice trembling with endurance, "Absolutely impossible!"
Lin Xige guessed that he would give this answer.
"Mu Chaoran, do you think we still need to maintain our marriage?" Lin Xige asked, "Or am I still valuable enough to you, and you temporarily need my identity to help you achieve your goal?"
She threw his sincerity and love aside, and stubbornly believed that he still wanted to use her.
Mu Chaoran was in so much pain.
Anxious.
Lin Xige continued to ask: "If the identity of the Lin family's daughter can make you a lot of money, then we can renegotiate. I... am willing to help you. What do you think?"
She still had feelings for him and was reluctant to ruin his plans.
If she could help him, she would be willing to do so.
Just think of it as a dowry.
When Lin Xige married him, she had no dowry, but now she made up for it.
"Help me?" Mu Chaoran smiled sarcastically, "Xige, Xige, in your eyes, I, Mu Chaoran, am such a scheming, cunning and sinister person?"
"No, I just want you to achieve your original goal."
Mu Chaoran married her because he wanted her status as the daughter of the Lin family.
Then she cooperated with him.
But she still wants a divorce.
For example, they can maintain superficial harmony and appear to be in harmony, but in fact he lives in Yuyuan and she lives in Lin's house.
For example, they are divorced, but they still appear together as a couple in front of everyone, hiding the news of their divorce.
In short, she cooperated with him, but didn't want to love him anymore.
