Living Only For Myself: Make Those Who Hate Me Regret It

Chapter 409 - 408: A Green Hat Is Nothing, It’s Not Like I Haven’t Worn One From You Before

Don’t touch me...

The three soft words left Xu Su frozen in place.

In two lifetimes, this was the first time Zhou Mochen had ever refused her touch.

For a moment, Xu Su was at a complete loss. "What on earth is wrong with you?"

"What’s wrong..." Zhou Mochen repeated, his tone taunting. He suddenly raised a hand, grabbed her by the neck, and yanked her in front of him. "Xu Su, all this time, how have I treated you?"

"..." Xu Su was bewildered. "What is wrong with you?"

’Didn’t I already promise to interact less with Shen Chen from now on...’

"Answer my question. How have I treated you?"

His grip tightened, causing a sharp pain in the back of her neck. A sheen of involuntary tears immediately welled up in her eyes.

Normally, Zhou Mochen doted on Xu Su, treating her like a precious jewel—always gentle, considerate, and protective.

But now, even as she winced in pain with tears brimming in her eyes, he didn’t loosen his grip.

Xu Su could clearly see something was wrong with him. Her stubborn streak flared up, and she forced herself not to show weakness. "If you have something to say, just say it. Don’t beat around the bush."

"Fine, I’ll be direct then." Zhou Mochen nodded slowly, his grip not lessening in the slightest. He leaned in abruptly, his voice utterly frigid. "Have you betrayed me?"

"!!!" Xu Su’s eyes flew wide open, unable to believe what she was hearing.

"Speak!" Zhou Mochen stared intently into her eyes. "Or do you not know how to answer? Then let me ask more directly. Xu Su, have you and Shen Chen betrayed me together?"

"No!" Xu Su roared, furious. "Zhou Mochen! What kind of person do you take me for? You think Shen Chen and I..."

She couldn’t finish her sentence. Zhou Mochen watched her for a long time, his expression unreadable, before asking, "You know Shen Chen has feelings for you, don’t you?"

Xu Su’s eyelashes trembled. ’How did he find out about Shen Chen’s feelings?’ she wondered. ’I only just found out today myself.’

’Shen Chen didn’t even do anything out of line when we were outside just now...’

The girl in front of him was already lost in thought at the slightest provocation. How could Zhou Mochen not know her answer?

She knew!

’She’s always known Shen Chen likes her, yet she’s still always with him, practically inseparable. They practice driving together, eat together, spending every waking moment together.’

’What else did they do?’

The double betrayal drove Zhou Mochen to the brink of madness. The mere thought of them carrying on a secret affair and developing feelings for each other right under his nose was enough to tinge his eyes red with murderous intent.

"Just great. Really, just great."

He released the girl, stood up without another glance at her, and strode upstairs.

Xu Su was thrown heavily onto the sofa, completely clueless as to why he was losing his mind again.

’I only found out today that Shen Chen likes me!’

A wave of indignation had just washed over her when she saw Zhou Mochen coming back downstairs. His face was grim, a pistol in his hand, and he was heading for the main door.

"Where are you going?"

"Zhou Mochen!"

"Zhou Mochen!"

"Someone stop him!"

Xu Su shouted at the servants standing in the corners of the room, but when no one responded, she truly began to panic.

Shaking off the dizziness from being thrown, she scrambled up from the sofa, ran to the door, and blocked his path with her arms outstretched. "Don’t be insane!"

"Move."

Xu Su shook her head. "No."

Despite her bold facade, her legs were actually trembling with fear.

She no longer dared to say she had seen every side of him. This version of Zhou Mochen, holding a gun and ready to commit violence, was someone she had never seen before.

Never!

But she couldn’t move. She had to try to calm this rampaging man.

Xu Su swallowed hard and asked, unable to comprehend, "Just because Shen Chen likes me, you’re angry enough to kill someone?"

Zhou Mochen looked at her silently, then raised the gun. "I’ll say it again. Move."

"I won’t."

As Zhou Mochen pointed the gun at the space between her eyebrows, Xu Su, who had been so scared her legs felt weak, suddenly lost all fear. She lifted her head and met his gaze without flinching. "Otherwise, you can just shoot me."

Zhou Mochen gave a cold smile, pressing the muzzle of the gun directly against Xu Su’s forehead. "You don’t still think I’d be unable to do it, do you? Xu Su, are you really that confident in your charm? You think I’m willing to be a cuckold for you?"

"..." Xu Su closed her eyes. Only now did she finally understand why he was losing his mind.

He didn’t believe her. He didn’t believe her words.

She said no, and he didn’t believe it.

’He’s absolutely convinced that Shen Chen and I did something to betray him...’

At this moment, she didn’t even have the energy to be angry. Xu Su just felt powerless.

She was telling the truth, but he refused to believe it.

He would rather believe she would cheat on and betray him than believe her words.

Xu Su opened her eyes and continued to explain to him in earnest, "Zhou Mochen, I’ll say it one more time. I have not done anything with Shen Chen to wrong you."

"As for Shen Chen liking me, I only found that out today. Before today, although I sometimes felt something was a little off with him, I never thought it was anything like that. I was too dense, and I’ll accept your anger for that. But I would never do the kind of thing you’re suspecting."

Her voice trembled. "If you still don’t believe me, then just shoot."

A long moment passed...

The cold muzzle of the gun moved away from her forehead. Xu Su heard Zhou Mochen’s voice, so cruel it sounded like a stranger’s.

"So you’re trying to tell me that everything between you two is completely innocent? That from start to finish, he was the only one who developed feelings, while you, who were always with him, growing closer by the day, had no idea?"

"Yes," Xu Su said, looking at him with a clear conscience. "Before today, I was completely unaware of Shen Chen’s feelings. Everything between us was perfectly innocent, and there were absolutely no feelings beyond friendship."

"Is that so?" Zhou Mochen’s face was grim as he curled his lip into a mocking smile. "It’s all just a coincidence, then? I just happened to stumble upon it today, so you also just happened to discover his improper intentions today?"

"All these days, you’ve eaten together, practiced driving together, gone to bars together—always seen together like a couple. He stopped seeing other women, acting like a devoted lover by your side. And you were completely oblivious to all these feelings of his, yet the moment I found out, you suddenly found out too. Is that how it is?"

Xu Su: "..."

’The way he put it, even I’m starting to wonder if I really did have an affair with Shen Chen behind his back...’

It really was too much of a coincidence...

"Zhou Mochen, listen to me..." Xu Su reached out desperately to grab his hand, but he raised his own to avoid her touch again. He sneered.

"Xu Su, why bother coming up with an explanation you can’t even convince yourself of? It doesn’t matter. You can tell me the truth. You know I’m fucking obsessed with you. So what if I’m cuckolded? It’s not like it’s the first time you’ve done it to me. You don’t have to worry about my pride or my feelings at all. No matter what, I won’t hurt you."

Those words hit Xu Su so hard she nearly lost her footing. She stared at him, stunned. "So, you’ve always believed that what happened with Xi Zirong... was me cuckolding you?"
