Because I Cannot Hurt You

Caihong was stunned for a long time. She was unable to speak. The words refused to come out of her mouth.

"You…"

She felt chilly and realized that she was naked in front of Xiaosi. Panicked, she covered herself in the sheet. "Xiaosi! Look away! Why are you here? And why am I... W-what is going?"

Xiaosi slowly walked up to the bed. Caihong flustered even more. "What are you doing, Xiaosi! I said get away! I-I am-"

"Naked. I already know that," he smiled. "It's too late to tell me to go away now. I have already seen everything last night."

She froze.

The dread of the situation made her pale. Somewhere in her heart, she was suspicious of what might have happened, but she didn't want to believe it.

Caihong recalled the last thing that happened to her. Somebody covered her mouth from behind her and then she fainted.

Caihong's voice trembled as she looked at him. Tears threatened to drop. "X-Xiaosi...what happened last night?"

Xiaosi laughed loudly. "What happened? I got what I wanted! I took Zhiyuan's woman from him! The man who I hate the most. I slept with his woman last night."

Caihong turned pale and blank. The burning pain in her waist was forcing her to accept the cruel reality that lay in front of her.

"W-what?"

Xiaosi grabbed her arms. "Yes! I hate Zhiyuan! I always hated him. He and his hypocrisy. Someone from a rich family like him cannot possibly understand how I lived my life as a poor orphan. Yet, he behaved as he understood me."

He laughed. "The nerve of him. He didn't understand me. He always mocked me. He thought I was pitiful, didn't he? How could he ever accept an orphan like me to be his friend? Yet he claims that I am his best friend? Han Zhiyuan's? Impossible!"

Caihong blankly looked at him.

Who was this Xiaosi?

Xiaosi coldly said, "Always making fun of my low status. Who did he think he was? He had a family, wealth, influence and a beautiful girlfriend too. He had everything. It was impossible to touch his family and wealth. So I thought, why not target his loving girlfriend?"

His gaze turned sinister. "And now look? This poor orphan who he always secretly mocked slept with his girlfriend. He took her virginity," he mocked.

Caihong raised her hand to slap him, but he caught it in his hand. He smiled. "Come on, Caihong. Is this how you should treat your future husband?"

Her body trembled in fury. "How dare you, Xiaosi? You-you...how could you do this?"

He chuckled. "Why not? I did it and it's true. Last night was as real as the sun and moon. Did you forget how much you enjoyed it? Oops. I forgot. You were almost unconscious the whole time while I was making out with you."

Caihong burst into tears. She couldn't believe it. Everything was going fine and suddenly, this morning, everything had messed up.

I was raped...I was raped…

She turned white as a sheet and cried hard. The realization struck her hard as if somebody harshly slapped her.

"You disgusting man…" she gasped, "I will never forgive you for this," she clutched his shirt and snarled at him in hatred. "I will never forgive you for this! And neither Zhiyuan!"ƒ𝑟𝐞𝗲𝘄𝙚𝚋𝑛ｏ𝙫𝒆𝒍.𝒄𝘰𝓂

"Zhiyuan?" Xiaosi sinisterly chuckled. "How would he know? Will you tell him? Are you sure you want to tell him what happened between us last night?"

She shivered.

"Do you really want to tell him that you slept with his supposed best friend? Tsk. I wonder what he will think. But your Zhiyuan is so gracious after all. Who could see his girlfriend with someone else, but he will bear everything for you, no matter how much it hurts his heart to know that we slept together."

She trembled hard.

Just last night, they were talking about officially coming out to their families about their relationship and now…

Her eyes turned red. "Zhiyuan always treated you like his best friend and you…you could stoop so low...I hate you, Xiaosi! I hate you!"

She felt disgusting and filthy. Her heart only held Zhiyuan but her body was defiled by Xiaosi.

She clutched her head and sobbed hard.

*Present time*

The tears from her misty gaze refused to die down.

"You said that you hated Zhiyuan. But in reality, you always carried those disgusting feelings for me inside you! You forced yourself on me because you wanted to claim me as yours. You forced me to give birth to Chyou because you were so happy that I bore your child, right? You and your filthy feelings destroyed everything!"

Xiaosi pushed her away. "I wonder who fed such nonsense to you."

Caihong opened the video clip and threw the phone on his face. The sound from the clip played.

"Who always held unrequited feelings for them. It worked so beautifully in our favor right?"

Xiaosi narrowed his eyes.

The only person he could think of doing this was either Han Mingli or Han Guang.

"So, what Aunt said was true. Xinyi loved Zhiyuan and you…"

Her chest flared in hatred to even think about his feelings for her.

"Tell me, Xiaosi. Did you really plot with Xinyi to force Zhiyuan and me apart? Can it be really a coincidence that I had to marry you and Zhiyuan was forced to marry Xinyi? So convenient for you and Xinyi, right? You two played with us!"

Her shoulders trembled.

"Both of you feigned to act as good friends to us. You two fooled us this entire time. Even Xinyi…"

She always thought that Xinyi was a gentle and calm person. She still found it too incredible if Xinyi could really turn out that way, but her expression in the video said it all.

She indeed loved Zhiyuan.

Even on the cruise trip, when she had seen her flustered, Caihong thought that she fell in love with him in these seven years after their marriage.

But the reality was something else…

Caihong sadly laughed. "You two fooled us big time. You stayed silent for two years, and then you played your card at the graduation party. Just the day before Zhiyuan and I were going to announce our relationship to our families."
