Xu Wenwan’s heart dropped. She hadn’t meant for An Dongyang to find out so quickly. Her original plan was to wait until he had feelings for her before telling him, but she had just blurted it out on impulse.
Seeing An Dongyang’s attitude suddenly turn cold, she regretted her impulsive words.
Fortunately, she was composed enough to handle it.
Xu Wenwan pretended not to notice An Dongyang’s indifference and gave a wry smile.
"I’m sorry. We’ve only known each other for two days, and this is just our third time meeting. I shouldn’t have told you all that."
The girl’s attempt to appear strong only made the man’s heart ache for her.
An Dongyang came to his senses.
’He liked Xu Wenwan, but she had no idea about his feelings. To her, they had only known each other for two days.’
’Thinking about it that way, he decided Xu Wenwan really was a good girl.’
He also felt a pang of guilt. ’He was the one with feelings for her, yet he’d just been blaming her.’
An Dongyang composed himself and looked at the red, swollen mark on her face. "Why did he hit you?"
’That was the question she had been waiting for.’ Even if An Dongyang hadn’t asked, she would have found a way to bring it up subtly.
So, she told him everything—how she was switched with another baby at birth and how her parents were now trying to force her into a marriage.
It all clicked for An Dongyang.
’No wonder Xu Wenwan’s clothes and accessories were so refined. She didn’t seem like a village girl at all. It was because she was switched at birth.’
Then, when he heard she was being forced into a marriage, he was filled with rage.
"How could your parents do that? We’re in a new era now, people should be free to love who they want. How could they force you into a marriage?"
Things like this were common in the countryside, but this was happening to Xu Wenwan. Since An Dongyang had feelings for her, he was naturally incensed on her behalf.
Xu Wenwan shook her head, looking dejected. "It’s fine. They’re my parents, after all. I’m not angry anymore."
