Once Upon A One Night Stand novel Chapter 267

It was because of her miss for him that her heart was so tortured and uncertain.

After a brief fervent kiss, Li Han pulled out the chair next to Shu Tian and sat down. He handed her the documents in his hand. "You've suffered, baby. Take a look at these documents. Be careful with your words in court later. Remember. Don't contradict my explanation."

Shu Tian was slightly confused about that "my explanation"?

She thought, "Did he mean his point of letting her plead guilty?"

Seeing that Shu Tian lowered her head and did not speak, Li Han raised his hand to hold her pale little face, with his thumb gently across her face. "Believe me, this is all for your own good. After today, I will never let you suffer anymore."

Shu Tian looked up and asked him with a half-smile, "Can I get over today?"

"Yes." The man tightly grabbed her palm, which was down because of aggrievement. "Of course, you can."

Shu Tian shook her head. Her eyes were red, but no tears came out yet. She had cried so many times that her tears were all dried up. She choked and muttered, "How cruel."

"Baby, you have me." Li Han reached out and grabbed Shu Tian in his arms. He was afraid that she would feel helpless. Seeing her compromising look, he was pierced to the heart. "I will accompany you get over today."

"But this is not the way I want." Although it was useless to say this now, Shu Tian couldn't help but speak what she thought.

"I know." Li Han patted her gently on the back to comfort her. He said, "There are many things we can't change. We can only compromise for the best result. If you weren't the accused, maybe I wouldn't be so sneaky. But Tian, I don't dare to bet. I can't afford to lose you."

How would Shu Tian not understand what he said?

There was a small flame that suddenly burned in Shu Tian's heart. She left a little bit from his arms and looked up at him. "Li Han, I don't care the result. I just want a fair verdict. Even if the final result is not what I expected, at least I won't be guilty and regret it. I just can't accept. I can't swallow this..."

Her eyes watched his. This was the first time in so long that Li Han had seen this sparkling fire in her eyes.

It had been a long time. It was so long that he could only find such lively Shu Tian in his memory...

Li Han really wanted to agree with her, but he just can't. All his thoughts turned into rational and emotionless words, "Tian, I would also like to. But we just can't."

"Why we can't? We only need to tell the truth!" She wanted to let everyone know the truth. She didn't want to blame for the guilt she hadn't committed. "I didn't kill anyone. You know it. I don't want to live with such a stain for the rest of my life!"

"I believe you, but there is no evidence to support our view. If our appeal is rejected, then the sentence may be extended..."

"Is your plan that I plead guilty and get a penalty reducing for turning myself in, then you bail me out?" Shu Tian broke free from his arms and raised her hand to point to her left chest. "You know what? If that happens, every time I wake up and go to sleep, what I will think of is that I'm a murderer-in-law. I will never have a good sleep anymore. And all people who know me would know that I'm a murderer. My family will be humiliated and they would be ashamed of me. Only I know, I'm not a murderer. But I can't tell anyone. Li Han, this is my last chance. You said that it's for my own good, but I can't accept such a stain with me for the rest of my life..."

What upset her the most was not being framed by Jiang Chujing, nor was it the criticism from outsiders. She was upset because that even she was crazy to vindicate herself, the man she loved most asked her not to say anything out.

No one could feel how pained it was unless such a thing happened to himself.

"Shu Tian!" Li Han raised his voice, hoping to wake her up. "I know you're in pain. I know you hate my plan. But what else can we do? The thing only goes this way!"

She looked at the man's eyes, which were gradually reddening, and suddenly felt something peeling from her body. This feeling was terrible empty.

Yeah, he didn't want to either. He had no choice but to do this.

She thought, "Shu Tian, you put all your hopes on this man, but you forgot that he was a man, not a god. He loved you, but he couldn't understand you 100%."

"For most people, the pros and cons have to be weighed before action. You're an adult already. You should know it. Stop bother him anymore."

The moment this idea was born, Shu Tian fell into a trance and didn't want to fight for anything, like fairness, justice, anymore. Maybe it's because she was totally disappointed, or maybe she let go of it. Or both. Nobody knew!

"Well, that's it."

It was just as what Meng Shichuan had ever said, "People will only give up when things have come to an end. But they don't know the process is only torture."
