Becoming a Wealthy Family’s Beloved After Her Rebirth-Chapter 25

Lin Xiaowan lowered her head and reflected on herself as well as she said, “I was wrong as well. I should have talked to you when I learned about her existence. I always thought you loved her, not me so I didn’t dare to ask.”

Huo Zheng and Lin Xiaowan’s relationship had always been strange. They did not even have a proper confession. They had moved in together in a hurry and got married soon after. He had always been polite and reserved. He was also the son of a wealthy family, and she felt that they were from different worlds. She had no confidence at all in the relationship since the beginning. Therefore, she did not dare to ask about anything.

When she became a ghost next to Huo Zheng, she experienced many strange and mysterious things by Huo Zheng’s side. After seeing him strangle Song Zhiyi, she suddenly realized there were many things that she did not know.

The injury on the back of Lin Xiaowan’s head had yet to heal. She could not help but reach up to touch it.

“Do you have a headache?” Huo Zheng asked nervously.

Seeing that he changed the topic, Lin Xiaowan cried out indignantly, “Huo Zheng!”

Huo Zheng kissed the back of her hand and said with a sigh, “After breaking up with her, I had no feelings for her anymore.”

“Then do you like me?”

“I only like you,” Huo Zheng replied seriously, “I’m sorry. I should’ve told you this earlier.”

Lin Xiaowan was still unhappy. “Then tell me everything. I’m not talking about the matter with her recently. I’m talking about your past. I want to know. Why did you guys break up? You dated for seven years and were about to get married after all.”

Huo Zheng found it hard to speak. He was the one who initiated the breakup at that time. To him, who was young and carefree at that time, it was simply a humiliating experience.

However, seeing how concerned Lin Xiaowan was, he could only be truthful. He did not want this matter to bother her anymore. He said, “I discovered she was cheating.”

Lin Xiaowan found it hard to believe. Objectively, Huo Zheng was not extremely handsome, but his eyes were deep and his nose bridge was high. Nonetheless, he was still considered a handsome man with starry eyes. Moreover, his figure was impeccable. His bearing and aura were noble and extraordinary. Considering all things, even a celebrity was slightly inferior to him. How could Song Zhiyi cheat on a man favored by the heavens like Huo Zheng?

“Are you joking?”

After all, that lunatic Song Zhiyi loved Huo Zheng so much that she even wanted to die with him.

“No, I’m not…”

Huo Zheng found it even more difficult to speak.

“She did it with someone in the school field…”

Lin Xiaowan’s eyes widened in shock, and an incredulous expression appeared on her face.

‘Was there no one in their school field?

“It’s not just one person. While we were dating, she was in a relationship with several ‘friends’. Her private life was very messy. She wasn’t in love with me. She wanted to climb the social ladder, and she only treated me slightly better than the others. When I was in school, I hid my family background, after all.”

Huo Zheng was very confident in the past. He did not expect Song Zhiyi to be such a person. How could he accept being played like that?

This time, Song Zhiyi returned and threatened him because she wanted to be the young madam of a wealthy family. She returned because of his family background.

Lin Xiaowan thought about Song Zhiyi’s ‘friends’ and felt a little sympathetic for Huo Zheng at this moment. “You were really miserable…”

Huo Zheng and Song Zhiyi dated for seven years. Could it be that Song Zhiyi was like this over the past seven years as well?

At the same time, she thought that Huo Zheng was really lucky he did not catch any disease from Song Zhiyi.

When Lin Xiaowan returned to her senses, she asked, frightened, “You… Don’t tell me you’re… not clean…”

Huo Zheng hurriedly said, “No, no, I… I have never touched her before.”

“You were together for seven years! Who’d believe you didn’t touch her!”

“It’s true!” Huo Zheng quickly explained, afraid of Lin Xiaowan misunderstanding him, “I was against premarital sex back then so I didn’t touch her!”

When they broke up, Song Zhiyi had used this matter to make fun of Huo Zheng. He was naturally enraged at that time. However, in hindsight, he was glad he did not do anything with her back then.

Lin Xiaowan looked at him skeptically; clearly, she did not believe him.

‘What about the video?’

“Song Zhiyi showed me a video of the two of you in bed.”

Huo Zheng was furious upon hearing Song Zhiyi had shown Lin Xiaowan those disgusting things. “She showed you those things?”

Lin Xiaowan blinked her wet eyes at him. The broken capillaries in her left eye had yet to heal, making her look very pitiful.

Huo Zheng’s heart softened. He leaned over and kissed her as he said, “I really didn’t. I’ve only done it with you. Videos can be faked by AI. What she showed you was fake.”

Lin Xiaowan sorted the information in her head.

Huo Zheng and Song Zhiyi had dated for seven years, but Song Zhiyi was promiscuous and had multiple partners. Huo Zheng had never touched her before. After discovering her cheating, it was really impossible for them to have positive feelings for each other.

Lin Xiaowan felt much better after thinking about it.

‘He’s still worth keeping…’

However, after a moment, she slammed her hand on the table and asked angrily, “You were against premarital sex? Then what happened between both of us?”

Lin Xiaowan got together with Huo Zheng in September. Only two months had passed before they consummated their relationship. During her birthday in November, she drank a little. After gaining courage from the alcohol, she pestered Huo Zheng, and they ended up sleeping together. She was a little drunk at that time, but Huo Zheng was not drunk at all!

Huo Zheng said guiltily, “I said I opposed it in the past…”

Lin Xiaowan said, angry and dissatisfied, “I asked Sister An about what you were like when you were in a relationship. She said you were very passionate. Song Zhiyi also said so. However, when you were with me, you were always so indifferent…”

“I wasn’t…”

How could he bear to treat her indifferently? However, he also reflected on himself after listening to her words.

“Anyway, you don’t seem to like me at all.”

“I’m sorry,” Huo Zheng said.

When he broke up with Song Zhiyi, Song Zhiyi had questioned his sincerity. She also said that he was immature and clingy. She told him that no girl would be moved by such love and affection. She said his love was fake.

At that time, Huo Zheng had sneered, acting like he did not care. However, he remembered every word.

After being single for so many years and being immersed in the business world, he gradually became calm and reserved. He did not think that the person next to him needed him to show his affection and love to her.

Huo Zheng told Lin Xiaowan about this earnestly and promised to change his ways.

“Tell me what I did wrong, and I’ll do my best to change,” Huo Zheng said.

Song Zhiyi was already a thing of the past, and it was also time for him to forget those spiteful words.

No matter what, he had wronged Lin Xiaowan.

…

When the IV drip was empty, the nurse came over to help Lin Xiaowan remove the needle. She even brought in a beautifully wrapped apple. She stuffed the apple into Lin Xiaowan’s hands and said with a smile, “Today is Christmas Eve. Miss Lin, get well soon.”
