Even if Darren couldn't see her face, he was certain she was lying. To some extent she indeed was lying. The past always brought some unpleasant memories and she couldn't help feeling down. It was inevitable. She couldn't just pretend like it never happened.
But she was not lying that it could only shake her. She had experienced it herself. From the time she saw Liu Nuan or Zhou Jinhai, both only came as a surprise to her. She didn't feel anything prickling her heart. And talking or thinking about Han Bohai could only bring a smile to her face.ย
Also, she knew the reason why Liu Nuan's face or Zhou Jinhai's presence didn't hurt was this man right before her. Darren had given her everything she lacked previously. Attention, care, tenderness, kindness, time, trust, and most importantly love. The things that can hurt us are the things we lack or can't achieve, but Xiu already felt like her life was complete with Darren's presence. And it was honestly enough to her.
