My Aloof Husband Can't Stop His Devoted Affection-Chapter 543 - 019: Heartache_2

Chapter 543: 019: Heartache_2
It left her momentarily bewildered. When she came back to her senses, she almost instinctively got up from the chair, even forgetting her bag behind, and stumbled unsteadily towards the door of the private room.
She had drunk quite a lot, and two of the bottles were strong liquor. Although she could hold her alcohol well, she still felt dizzy afterwards. Her consciousness was intact, but she saw double, so she almost bumped into the door when she reached it.
Fortunately, Nan Jiayan had already picked up her bag and followed her when she got up to leave. As she was about to hit the door, he swiftly grabbed her arm. Because Lu Shishu was already off balance, she turned around and fell into his embrace. Nan Jiayan took the opportunity to wrap his arms around her waist, worry and urgency evident on his face as he asked, "Are you okay? Did you bump into anything? Does it hurt?"
Lu Shishu shook her head to clear it, and once she steadied herself, she suddenly pushed him away with a hint of irritation in her voice: "What’s it got to do with you? Stay away from me, I don’t want to see you, don’t you understand?"
"I know you don’t want to see me, but I absolutely can’t leave you like this. Can I take you home?"
"No."
"Shi Shu..."
"Get lost!" Lu Shishu forcefully withdrew her hand, shook him off, and once again staggered towards the door.
Nan Jiayan let out a deep sigh. Despite her pushing him away, he still followed closely behind to protect her from harm. As soon as she was in a perilous situation, he would immediately step in to pull her back.
After several back-and-forths, once outside the restaurant, Lu Shishu became a bit annoyed and shouted, "Nan Jiayan, can’t you understand human language? How many times have I told you to stay away from me? I don’t want to see you anymore. Why, after so many years, do you still have to show up?"
She had put in so much effort and care to forget him, to dig him out from the depths of her heart. Only she knew how painful it was to recall those ’bloody’ memories.
She just didn’t want to remember anymore, nor did she want to hurt again.
Why is it so difficult?
She originally thought that the name Nan Jiayan would disappear from her life forever and never appear again. But only seven years had passed, and he appeared once more, disturbing her thoughts and disrupting her once peaceful life and memories. Those past events no longer surged in her mind and dreams during this time, truly causing her great suffering.
"I’m sorry, leaving seven years ago, I really didn’t mean it, nor did I intend to hurt you. No matter how deep my feelings for you are, you can hit me, scold me, whatever, I have no complaints. But can you let me make it up to you? In any way and at any cost."
"Make it up? At a cost?" Lu Shishu gave a cold laugh, feeling as if she’d heard some outrageous joke. She walked up to him and poked his chest with her finger: "At this point, what do you want to make up for? If I said I want you to die, would you really do it? Don’t kid yourself, Nan Jiayan, we’re no longer in our teens or twenties, can’t ever go back to the past. When you left without saying goodbye, you should have thought of it. Now that you’ve come back, expecting me to just return at your beckoning, to forgive you, don’t you think it’s a tall tale, a laughing stock?"
"My life?" Nan Jiayan’s expression suddenly became calm, a faint gentle smile appeared in his eyes, yet seemed somewhat vacant: "As long as you want it, I’ll give it to you." Saying this, he turned and started walking towards the road.
Although Lu Shishu had been drinking, her mind was clear. Seeing him walk towards the road, she felt suddenly panicked inside. When he reached the edge of the road, Lu Shishu immediately staggered over and grabbed his arm. Due to the influence of alcohol, she didn’t control her strength well, and her own balance wasn’t steady, resulting in her tumbling into his arms when pulling Nan Jiayan back.
Nan Jiayan instinctively held her tightly, a smile playing at the corners of his mouth, seemingly pleased yet relaxed: "What’s the matter?"
Lu Shishu hadn’t expected to fall into his arms suddenly and felt a bit embarrassed, so she quickly retreated from his embrace. Nan Jiayan did not insist, but as she stepped away, a sudden dizziness caused her to stumble, prompting Nan Jiayan to reach out again, grab her arm, and ask worriedly, "Are you alright? Feeling dizzy?"
