356 That night (1)

*Flashback*

The meeting at the restaurant after nine years with Han Zongying had shocked him. But he wasn't as affected as he had expected. He had thought about it countless times.

How will it go if he ever meets her again? How will he react? 

An Guoting was always afraid. He really loved Han Zongying. The heartbreak she left him was painful. He had cried a lot. He had begged a lot.

And he didn't wish to go through it all over again. That's why he was always scared that if he met her again, he would fall weak. The love for her would bloom in his heart once again. He would want her once again. And that's why he would cry and beg before her once again.

But that didn't happen.

Even when Han Zongying brought the past and accused him of the faults he never did; An Guoting didn't feel hurt. He thought that after so many years, things might have changed. Maybe Han Zongying had realized the truth.
