Once Upon A One Night Stand novel Chapter 59

"Because he didn't want to see anyone like his mother who couldn't get divorced and get rid of her husband until she was at her middle age."

Shu Tian had never thought that he had such a pitiful past. In her eyes, he was God's favored one, being so bright and handsome that he was destined to be different from the moment he was born. He should have been a young master that was born superior and grew footloose, with prominent family background. How could he...

Ji Chuanyi met her surprised eyes. He also felt mixed feelings inside, "Everything he owns today is the result of his own effort, not born with."

A person with no background and no backstage couldn't have made such achievements just at the mercy of chance and luck, especially in the legal profession, although there were plenty of people who can make it, but how many of them ended up with good ends?

Dealing with all those shrewd and calculating old foxes was difficult. Except for his gorgeous appearance, how bitter it was, perhaps nobody would know except himself.

Shu Tian was heartbroken. She was so regretful for her prejudices and those unreasonable assumptions, but...

Her eyes flickered. She thought about the phone call that day. Actually, what she cared most about was the unidentified woman on the other end of the phone.

She didn't want to be petty, so she told Ji Chuanyi in the most indirect way she could come up with. She didn't expect that he didn't wait for her to finish. He raised his hand and interrupted, "Li Han couldn't have another woman. You don't have to worry about that."

Shu Tian couldn't understand why he was so sure.

Looking at her puzzled little face, Ji Chuanyi's tone was a little grave, as if it was hard for him to talk about. He paused for a moment and said, "When he was a child, his parents divorced and he was forced to go to a boarding school. He was harassed there. He had no other woman except you."

Shu Tian was greatly stunned.

Harassment?

Was that what she thought?

He was supposed to be a junior high school student then, but he was sent to such a horrible place. Shu Tian did not even dare to imagine the scene. As long as she thought about it, her heart would ache as if it was tightly clenched.

She would rather misunderstand him than hear a truth like this.

"I shouldn't have told you these things, but he was really painful inside. Shu Tian. I hope you can understand him."

Li Han didn't want anyone to take pity on him. He was used to showing his strongest side, but he also lost the ability to love and be loved.

For so many years, he was like an invulnerable and indestructible stone, but the desire for warmth inside had never changed.

He was thirty-two years old, mature enough, and it was time for him to find a companion.

Time would not erase the painful things that had happened before, but a new beginning would. Ji Chuanyi hoped that Shu Tian would be the one who could comfort him.

"I don't know..." Shu Tian's eyes turned red. She thought her current situation was unfortunate enough, but what Li Han had experienced was a hundredfold of her suffering.

She was now an adult and could be responsible for her actions, but he was just a child then.

How desperate had he been?

No wonder Li Han never accepted the cases for divorce. Things would develop in the opposite direction when they became extreme. Because of his painful experience, he entered this industry, but he never wanted to experience such pain again.

In fact, she never really understood him. Subconsciously, people would always express themselves first, forgetting to listen.

Ji Chuanyi patted her on the shoulder to comfort her, "The past is the past. He's not that vulnerable. The present him is the real him. I am telling you these just in the hope that you can understand him. He's a chauvinist, but he cares about you inside. As long as you could understand him, he won't have any temper."

Shu Tian didn't care about anything else at this time. She nodded immediately, "I misunderstood him. It was my fault anyway."

Ji Chuanzhu thought she must have some petty intrigues, but he didn't expect that she was so simple.
