The Billionaire's Hidden Affection-Chapter 331 - I won’t tell the average person1_1

He burst into laughter! He was truly flattered; from "ex-boyfriend" to "never regretted it," this was truly a remarkable turn of events. Ex-boyfriend, at least that still had the term "boyfriend" in it! This is much better than I had imagined—at least I wasn’t just a "sugar daddy." That’s already something to be gratified about.

"Miss, if you don’t regret the step you took, why fall for someone else?" he asked.

She retorted angrily, "Who says I’ve moved on?"

He asked curiously, "Aren’t you planning to marry another?"

"What do you know? I’ve never been in love before. This is my first love."

She’s never been in love before!

He wasn’t shocked, but rather annoyed. So what if it was her first love?

"TSK TSK TSK. So, the unlucky fellow you never loved—was he a Tycoon? A nouveau riche? Or some disgusting old man preying on young women to extend his own life?"

"Not at all."

"Could he be super handsome, by any chance?"

"..."

Was Wan Donglin even handsome? She’d never really paid attention to his looks! How absurd.

"Did he treat you badly? Like those perverted rich men in TV dramas, using all sorts of methods to torture you?"

She was speechless for a moment. After a while, she replied, "There are some things you wouldn’t understand."

"Why wouldn’t I understand? That disgusting old man definitely wasn’t good to you, was he?"

"He really wasn’t all that good to me. Actually, I never expected him to be."

"Did he hit you?"

"No, he didn’t." 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"Did he insult or belittle you?"

"No, not that either."

"Did he use violence to force you into being with him at the beginning?"

She snapped, "Of course not."

"That’s strange. He didn’t hit or insult you, nor did he force you to be with him. So on what grounds do you say he treated you badly?"

She was stumped.

Truthfully, she had never really thought about this carefully before. She had always just felt that Wan Donglin didn’t treat her well. What exactly was so bad?

At the beginning, she had begged him to save her mother and help with her burial. Even when she lived in his golden house and fell ill, remaining sick for over three months, he had been patient. He waited until she fully recovered before they were intimate for the first time. When she wanted to go to college, he let her finish. When she wanted to open a boutique, he opened a very large one for her. When she was pregnant, he often accompanied her and was completely attentive. When she miscarried, he stayed by her side all day and bought many nutritional supplements. Later, when she wanted to leave, he let her go.

So, what were the bad parts?

Right, she remembered now. The day before they broke up, that fellow had gotten half-drunk. He used his inebriation as an excuse to become aggressive and almost used force on her. Luckily, she struggled desperately and pushed him away, so he didn’t manage to take advantage of her! It also caused her to fall down the stairs. However, he had rushed forward to block her fall, and she had landed on him. She ended up completely unharmed, but he had probably ached for several days. Did that count as a violent act?

And yes, that scoundrel was also extremely acrimonious and vicious. He was always saying things like: "If you secretly get pregnant, dreaming of a sparrow turning into a phoenix, don’t blame me for being harsh." And, "Remember, we are only in a transactional relationship. I can let you go whenever I get bored." Also, "I’ve never lied to you. I told you from the beginning that I wouldn’t marry you." These were acts of violence too! At least, verbal abuse! Many people think a vicious tongue is trivial. Little do they know, the destructive power of psychological abuse is no less than that of physical blows; sometimes, it’s a fatal strike to one’s self-esteem.
