Song Zhen had never seen Gu Xinzhou so resolute.
He gave her a deep look, calculating in his mind.
It seemed she truly detested surveillance, and he had pushed her to the brink.
All he could do was smile at her with sincere apology, gazing at her, and speaking in a soft and gentle voice, "I shouldn't have monitored your life, especially the bedroom, leaving you with absolutely no privacy, making you feel suffocated, I'm sorry."
Gu Xinzhou tried her best not to look at him.
Because this man was really too handsome, especially when he smiled at someone so tenderly, with a warm and forgiving smile, it made it seem as though she was the one making a scene without reason.
She walked to the spot where Gu Yibo had been sitting and sat down, methodically eating her fruit.
That was her tacit consent for him to continue.
Song Zhen faced her again, and said softly, "I shouldn't have taken advantage of you while you were asleep, without your consent, cough, I shouldn't have offended you. I know it's not because of the marks on your body but because I took advantage of your vulnerability, making you feel disrespected, that's why you are upset."
Gu Xinzhou slowed down with her fruit.
Song Zhen continued, "I shouldn't have said you were ugly in front of Song Jun, nor should I have spread rumors about you having acne or spots. I should have upheld your image in front of my brother, and consistently praised you."
Gu Xinzhou stopped eating, her expression slightly grave.
Song Zhen observed her carefully, then continued, "I… shouldn't have said you couldn't name our child properly, because no matter what, it was your affection for our child, and you put thought into it. I was not of any help during your pregnancy, childbirth, or even McDull's growing up. I even nitpicked and complained about the names you chose, that was wrong of me, I'm sorry!"
Gu Xinzhou looked up, scrutinizing him seriously.
Song Zhen avoided her gaze, silent for a moment, before saying, "I shouldn't… have upset you, nor should I have done things you don't like me doing. I should work hard to support what you want to do, and also strive to cater to your preferences."
Gu Xinzhou suddenly stood up!
Song Zhen took a deep breath, slightly nervous, yet also somewhat smug.
He knew he had said everything that needed to be said.
And, he had said everything right!
Gu Xinzhou looked at him coldly, with a mockingly amused expression, "So you mean to say, you actually know exactly why I'm angry!
You know exactly where you went wrong!
You actually know everything, yet you still try to play dumb in front of me, knowingly making mistakes!
Just like with the marks on my body, you know that I'm not upset about the marks, yet you talked about getting scar removal cream for me, instead of confronting the mistake and ensuring that you'll never take advantage of someone's vulnerability again!
Just like you know that I despise having surveillance in the room, yet you still went behind my back to install it secretly!
Just like you know what makes me unhappy or upset, but you disregard it all, you simply ignore my feelings, insisting on your own stubborn ways!"
Song Zhen: "..."
It seemed to be true, he couldn't argue against her accusations.
Gu Xinzhou looked at him with mockingly scornful eyes, "You're just a masochist! If I hadn't mentioned that we're not compatible, if I hadn't considered breaking up, you would just keep making the same mistakes! Because deep down you think, 'Gu Xinzhou is easy to bully, easy to coax, easy to deceive,' right?"
"I..." Song Zhen immediately stepped forward, "Babe, listen to me, the past is the past, I swear I won't make the same mistakes again!"
