For a split second , Mo Zixuan actually thought that Cheng Tai already knew about Rong Xiao's plan but when he noticed the equally shocked expression on the woman's face , he stopped himself from acting impulsively.

Cheng Tai could read the man's perplexed expression and quickly explained ,"I had no idea about this. Actually , Rong Xiao sent me here to search for a file. I didn't knew she had planned for all this... I will call her right now."

But when Cheng Tai stretched her hand to pull out her phone from her pocket , she realized that she had forgotten to bring her phone along with her ,"Crap ! I... um... left my phone in my cubicle. Could you..."

Mo Zixuan took a deep breath and nodded. And as soon as the call got through , he clenched his fists angrily ,"Is this your way to sort things out , Xiao ? Unlock the door right away !"

Cheng Tai could tell that the man was trying his best to contain his anger. He showed an amazing amount of self-control and tolerance when it came to the people he loved and respected.

She was truly hoping that these siblings wouldn't harm their relationship just because of her. After all , who was she ? A woman who couldn't even distinguish between right and wrong. She truly didn't deserved a man like him...

Rong Xiao smiled as she enjoyed the live video footage of the storeroom from her office cabin. She didn't wanted to intrude their privacy initially , but just in case , what if they got into any heated argument ? Someone had to go for the rescue , right ?

The girl obviously knew that the man was being too gentle to her and a volcano was erupting inside his mind. When she thought about how he could literally rip her apart if she was in front of him , she felt a chill run down her spine. But for the sake of her to be sister-in-law and her brother's future kids, she was left with no option but to take the risk ! Just for you , bro.

"I will release you two from this detention after seven hours. You can scold me after that. Your files are with me and I will sort them out before you are out of there. So don't worry.

"Lastly , please take note of the fact that there is a lady in this storeroom with you. Be gentle and don't be too aggressive towards her. You know , its not too bad to have a normal conversation brother. Even if it is with your ex-girlfriend... Bye !", Rong Xiao disconnected the call hurriedly.

"Hello ? Kiddo !", the man almost threw the phone away when the brat cut his call.

"We are stuck here for seven long hours...", the man sighed and loosened his tie with a fatigued expression. He grabbed two chairs from the corner of the storeroom and sat down on one of them ,"Make yourself comfortable."

Even if Rong Xiao had locked him up with her , he could always chose to remain silent. He would simply not talk to Cheng Tai.

The man adjusted his position and rested the back of his head on the edge of the chair and closed his eyes. His head was aching pretty badly already and now these Rong sisters were pulling off tricks like these. How tiresome !

After sometime , the man felt someone massaging his head skillfully. For sometime , he simply remained unmoved and allowed the woman to continue because her massage was genuinely helping him. She was quite good at this. If only they hadn't broken up...

With this thought , the man woke up with a jolt and stared at the woman who was taken aback as well ,"Its fine. Don't stress."

Cheng Tai nodded her head in a daze ,"Sorry. I just thought..."

For some unknown reason , Mo Zixuan didn't expected the woman to be so uncomfortable and cautious around him. This was not how he had known her. Cheng Tai was a very adorable and talkative person but it was for the first time that he had seen her being so guarded about every little thing she did. It was now that he realized how much they both had changed after splitting apart.

Next second , the man sighed and reflexively looked into Cheng Tai's eyes ,"Since Xiao and Xinghe wants us to talk and we have five more hours left here , do you want to... I mean I don't mind knowing the reason behind your reaction that day."

Cheng Tai was stunned for few good seconds when the man mentioned that he was willing to listen to her. This was the biggest favour he was doing to her. As long as he would calmly give her his attention for some minutes , she didn't hoped for too much , especially forgiveness , from him.

Cheng Tai's eyes turned red and she sat down beside the man as her hands trembled ,"Before our relationship started , I had already told you that I was in a relationship with one of my college friends , right ?"

Mo Zixuan nodded and listened everything patiently. Cheng Tai explained how she had fallen for him blindly and how her ex-boyfriend had tried to molest her sexually. She told him how that man had drugged her and how he had ripped apart almost all of her clothes back then.

"Zixuan , he touched me here , here and here.", the girl pointed towards her different body parts as she sobbed ,"You know I felt so horrible when he did that. At that time , I regretted not listening to the people who had warned me about him. That relationship was such a trauma for me that I couldn't even sleep for three months without waking up in the middle of the night frightened by the nightmare of someone assaulting me. It was too horrifying.

"Mom had went through a bone marrow transplant during this time , so I couldn't worry her out. I didn't had Dad by my side as he was enjoying the glory of a martyred soldier in heaven. I was alone and I was shattered. I had no one to talk to. No one was there and that was even more scary. I...

"After that , I always listened to what people said about my closed ones. Many times , they were right and my closed ones were actually proved to be the real backstabbers. Eventually , listening to outsiders became a habit.

"But I was wrong. I... wronged you and I wronged Xinghe... You both are amazing. I don't know what had gotten into me at that time. I deserve the hostility and ignorance you give me. Xinghe is a wonderful. She loves and respects you a lot too. You are lucky to have her in your life.

"Zixuan... it truly doesn't matter whether you forgive me or not ever again. Because even if you do , I will never forgive myself for what I did and what I said. I am a journalist and I know how painful words can be. I insulted your kiddo in front of everyone and I deserve this hatred.

"Regardless of what your answer will be , I just want to say one thing to you from the bottom of my heart - I am really sorry.", the woman broke down after saying these words and buried her face into her palms.

Mo Zixuan felt his heart ache for Cheng Tai when he noticed her shivering shoulders. He covered up the girl by his warm jacket and sighed. Somewhere there , it was his fault as well. Back then , she wanted to honestly tell him about why she broken up with her boyfriend but he had refused , in order to not allow their past into their present. If he had heard her painful story earlier , maybe he would have had tried to understand her even more.

She was just a university student when all of this had happened to her. He couldn't entirely blame her for trusting He Chen's crocodile tears.

Now that they were opening up to each other , it was his responsibility to do that as well.

"Do you want to know why I broke up with He Chen ?"
