Chapter 406: Chapter 406: Lu Jingzhi’s Heart Trembles Slightly Chapter 406: Chapter 406: Lu Jingzhi’s Heart Trembles Slightly “I’m sorry… I’m sorry…” Lu Ting covered her face with her hands, her voice choked to the point she couldn’t utter a complete sentence, and she could only repeatedly apologize.

Seeing her like this, Lu Jingzhi’s brows furrowed even tighter, “Since you’re all right now, I’m leaving.”

Having said that, he didn’t want to stay for a moment longer.

“Big brother, don’t go!”

Lu Ting quickly called out to him, her fingers clenching the blanket covering her body, and she said with utmost sincerity, “After facing life and death, I’ve come to realize my mistakes. It was all my fault, I went too far. I shouldn’t have sabotaged Qiao Yun behind her back out of jealousy.”

“I should not have wanted our parents to love only me and hate Qiao Yun. I know I was wrong, I deeply regret it. I truly regret it. If I could do it all over again, I would treat Qiao Yun properly.”

“Our family was supposed to be happy and joyful, but it was I who caused it to fall apart.”

Her sobs and tears seemed to indicate her true repentance.

A flash of pity crossed Lu Jingzhi’s eyes, “You’re right, if you hadn’t hurt my sister behind our backs and had come clean about what our father did to our family, we wouldn’t have let you go.”

Lu Ting sobbed and nodded, “I was wrong, it’s my fault.”

Lu Jingzhi sighed, “What’s the use of saying all this now? The deeds that have been done won’t change, and time will not turn back.”

“I can change what can be changed,” Lu Ting finally voiced her objective, “Give me a chance, I will change, and we can return to the happy days we had before.”

Lu Jingzhi looked deeply at Lu Ting, his eyes filled with disappointment.

Lu Ting shivered under his gaze, timidly and cautiously calling out, “Big brother…”

Her eyes were red, her figure seemed small, the white bedsheet made her face look even more woeful.

This side of Lu Ting always used to soften Lu Jingzhi’s heart.

In fact, Lu Jingzhi’s heart did tremble slightly.

But remembering the words Lu Zhanxing had said, his gaze hardened once more.

He laughed mockingly, “I suddenly really want to know, did you truly want to commit suicide?”

Lu Ting looked at Lu Jingzhi in disbelief. She had expressed her repentance with her life, yet he still doubted her?

Lu Jingzhi looked at the person pleading with their eyes, feeling no ripples in his heart.

“Regardless of whether you truly wanted to commit suicide or not, don’t contact us again. We have nothing to do with each other.”

Lu Ting shook her head vigorously, her face pleading not to be treated this way.

Lu Jingzhi gave her one last look, “I’ve paid your medical expenses. Take care of yourself from now on.”

Watching Lu Jingzhi’s retreating figure, Lu Ting panicked.

The Lu Family was her last support, her only path.

She had no home left!

Her biological mother had been arrested for suspected kidnapping, and she was now truly alone.

She couldn’t take this blow; she didn’t want to lose her last shred of dignity.

She pulled out the IV needle, jumped off the hospital bed, dashed forward, and hugged Lu Jingzhi’s waist from behind.

Her voice was hoarse as she shouted, “Don’t go! I’m telling the truth, I am jealous of Qiao Yun, not only because she is our parents’ biological daughter, but because I’m afraid she’ll take you away from me!”

“Haven’t you noticed all these years? My feelings for you are more than just fraternal, there’s also those secret affections!”

“I wanted to be with you for a lifetime, I wanted you to care only for me.”

Buzz—
Lu Ting’s words directly stunned Lu Jingzhi; his body stiffened suddenly, and he grabbed Lu Ting’s wrists, asking word by word, “Say that again, what are your feelings towards me?”
