Seven Cubs, Seven Fathers, Zero Days Off novel Chapter 167

Chapter 167: Chapter 165: This Is Her Principle

Shen Yue looked at him, frozen in place, and said coldly,

"At the end of the day, for all your talk about me being your Female Master, about how much you care for me and how it has to be me... you don’t actually trust me at all."

"From the day I realized there was some kind of physical connection between you and Jue Ying, I’ve been waiting. For this entire journey—ten whole days—I gave you countless opportunities."

Her voice grew heavy.

"But you’d rather keep this woman by your side, watching over her constantly to ensure her safety, letting her get under my skin at every turn, than tell me the truth."

Bai Chaosi remained frozen in place, a chilling dread washing over him as if he’d been plunged into an icy abyss.

His eyes widened as he stared at Shen Yue.

’He never imagined Shen Yue had seen through everything long ago.’

’She knew everything. It was all crystal clear to her; she understood it all perfectly.’

’She had even spent the entire journey waiting for him to open up and tell her the truth...’

’No wonder. During the journey from the bamboo house, there were several times he felt the way Shen Yue looked at him was different than before.’

’At the time, he’d just assumed she was unhappy about Jue Ying’s presence and the fact that he’d brought her along.’

’He was wrong.’

’He had been so, so wrong.’

Her voice was cold as she continued,

"If you had been willing to trust me for even a single moment during these ten days, to confide in me about the secret between you two, do you really think we would have ended up like this over some insignificant woman?"

As Bai Chaosi listened, his body began to tremble.

’Yes... if only he had told her sooner. Told her about his pain, about everything. How much better would that have been?’

’But that was his unspeakable past. That was the part of him that lived in the shadows.’

’He didn’t dare let her know. He was afraid that if she found out, she would despise him, would look down on him.’

’He only ever wanted her to see the best of him.’

’But his efforts had backfired spectacularly.’

"If you had told me, then no matter the reason for the shared pain between your bodies, even if my own skills and medical knowledge are limited and I couldn’t be of much help, I would have tolerated her provocations and insults last night. I would not have laid a hand on her."

"But you don’t trust me."

She retorted, her tone chilling,

"So, why should I have to keep enduring this just because you have your reasons? You don’t trust me, yet you insist on keeping her around, and you expect me to tolerate this... this fly, constantly buzzing in my ear? To put up with her making my stomach turn all day long?"

"Do I look like a pushover to you?"

’The reason Shen Yue had agreed to give him a chance to explain wasn’t because she wanted to hear what he had to say. It was to tell him that she already knew everything. It was to make him understand that for her, his explanation was long overdue and no longer welcome.’

’It was to show him there was no need to waste his breath.’

’And it was to make him understand that she wasn’t like the other females of this world.’

’She had high standards for men. What she cared about in a relationship and the expectations she held were also high.’

’To become her man, it took more than just words.’

’To win her heart, to make her willing to open up and truly accept him, would require a thousand times more effort and trust.’

’Even if he couldn’t trust her one hundred percent right now, the least he could do was not hide things from her.’
