The Aloof Little Puppy Is Super Obedient - Chapter 35

Zhou Nian watched Chu Jingtian and Su Jingyang standing so close together, unable to believe his eyes. He could not understand why the two of them had become so intimate, and a wave of suspicion washed over him.

Zhou Nian clenched his fists. “Chu Jingtian, you’ve certainly done well for yourself. Since when did the two of you have this kind of relationship?” He paused, his voice hardening. “Chu Jingtian, did you divorce me just for him?”

Hearing this, Chu Jingtian looked at Zhou Nian with pure disbelief. He could not fathom how Zhou Nian could be so prone to wild speculation. He stared at him, utterly exasperated.

“Don’t you think everything you’re saying is ridiculous? You have no factual basis at all, yet you start slandering the two of us?” Chu Jingtian retorted. “Have you considered the facts? You were the one who cheated first, and only then did I divorce you. If you want to have a real confrontation, I am happy to talk. But if you’re going to use this tone, then I don’t think we have anything to discuss.”

It was true. This man was being absurd. Wasn’t he the one who committed adultery first? Why was he now questioning Chu Jingtian? The irony of the situation felt like a bad joke. Chu Jingtian had already made everything clear, yet Zhou Nian continued to push things to such an offensive extreme. He truly did not understand what was going through the man’s mind.

Chu Jingtian had stated his position firmly. If Zhou Nian continued to harass him, he would not be polite. He had never even publicly revealed the true, sordid details of why they divorced, sticking to his principles.

“First of all, I don’t see the point in you telling me all this. We are divorced now. The bridge is crossed and the path is split; we each go our own way,” Chu Jingtian said. “Secondly, looking at the way I am speaking to you now, we are nothing more than strangers.”

The moment he signed those papers, he had let go of the relationship. To be precise, through those years of torment, he had already moved on. He didn’t know how he could have been so blinded by love for this man in the past. Looking back, that devotion seemed laughable.

“You…” Zhou Nian stammered, looking at Su Jingyang, not knowing how to address him.

Su Jingyang, standing behind Chu Jingtian, had been watching the exchange with growing annoyance. “Zhou Nian, don’t you think what you’re saying is a joke? My brother made everything very clear to you from the start. Isn’t all of this your own responsibility?”

Su Jingyang looked at Zhou Nian with disdain. He couldn’t understand how Zhou Nian could twist their relationship so much. It was obvious that this man had zero trust in Chu Jingtian.

Chu Jingtian saw it too. Zhou Nian’s accusations were nothing more than a patchwork of baseless claims. Listening to him was exhausting and meaningless. Not wanting to waste any more time, Chu Jingtian grabbed Su Jingyang’s hand to leave.

Seeing them about to walk away, Zhou Nian rushed forward and grabbed Chu Jingtian’s arm. “What, you’re just going to leave without explaining yourself? Chu Jingtian, since when did you become so cheap?”

Chu Jingtian’s hands curled into tight fists at the foul language. He never expected Zhou Nian to speak so crudely.

“Excuse me, sir, but could you please show some respect? I don’t know why your hostility toward me is so great, but I can tell you clearly: the way you’re acting right now is pathetic.”

It really was. Chu Jingtian didn’t even know how to respond to such behavior anymore. He suspected Zhou Nian’s hostility stemmed from his own psychological state. Seeing Chu Jingtian moving on so easily with someone else likely triggered a sense of regret for the past.

People like Zhou Nian only start to regret things once they’ve actually lost them. When they were together, Zhou Nian never cherished a single moment. During that time, Chu Jingtian had been emotionally exhausted, barely knowing how to face each day.

Seeing the regret now flickering on Zhou Nian’s face, Chu Jingtian gave a cold smile. “To start talking to me like this now, don’t you think you’re being a bit ridiculous? Sometimes I truly don’t understand what you’re thinking.”

He looked at Zhou Nian with a touch of confusion. “And regardless of what you think, let me set a principle for you: it is impossible for me to ever have a relationship with you again. No matter what you say to me, I will never have anything to do with you for the rest of my life.”

With that, Chu Jingtian and Su Jingyang walked away, ignoring whatever look Zhou Nian was giving them.

As they left, Zhou Nian stood frozen, the harsh words ringing in his ears. He watched Chu Jingtian’s retreating back with a sense of bewilderment. He truly didn’t understand what he had done wrong. In his mind, he hadn’t done anything, so why was there now such an impassable wall between them? Everything had been so good when Chu Jingtian was by his side.

Zhou Nian sat down heavily, questioning himself. He felt as though Chu Jingtian was the one looking for trouble, while he himself had done nothing wrong. He truly couldn’t comprehend why things had become so difficult when they used to get along so well.

After walking for a while, Chu Jingtian looked at Su Jingyang with uncertainty. “Do you think I was wrong to do that?” He wondered if what he had done was worth it.

“Brother, I just want to say that I will support you no matter what you do,” Su Jingyang replied. “Besides, he was the one who failed you. You have nothing to be afraid of.” He quickly began to comfort Chu Jingtian.

Chu Jingtian’s mood lightened slightly under Su Jingyang’s gaze. He truly couldn’t understand Zhou Nian. Why would a man who had already separated from him continue to haunt him? He had already let go.

Chu Jingtian took a deep breath, trying to stabilize his emotions. People change. In the beginning, they were happy. But by the end, it had turned into a heartbreak so deep he didn’t know how to cope. Facing him now felt absurd.

It was nothing like the fluttering heart he had when they first met. Back then, they were both perfect in each other’s eyes. But now, they were leading separate lives. Why the continued entanglement?

The fate they once shared had turned into a toxic bond that seemed impossible to resolve peacefully. He thought about Zhou Nian asking him why he had changed, and he didn’t have an answer. Perhaps the old Chu Jingtian had simply been worn away by Zhou Nian’s neglect.

Every moment he spent with Zhou Nian was a struggle. Thinking of those days, tears began to fall. Recalling those stories felt like reliving a lifetime of bitterness. He tried to keep his composure, not wanting his emotional state to collapse, but he was already at his breaking point.

He had worked so hard for that relationship. He thought he had moved on, but hearing that man say such things made him burst into tears again. Why was all the blame placed on him? He had done nothing wrong; for all those years, he had just been a quiet, supportive presence.

He had finally regained his confidence and his abilities, wanting to prove himself, only to have his resolve shaken by those cruel words. As Chu Jingtian stood there feeling aggrieved, Su Jingyang walked over and gently comforted him.

“It’s okay, Brother. Don’t worry anymore. You have me by your side now, and it will never be like that again.”

Chu Jingtian looked at Su Jingyang. “Tell me… what is good about me? What is bad?”

Su Jingyang laughed gently. “Brother, in my eyes, no matter what you are like, you are the best. That scumbag broke up with you and divorced you—whatever happens with him doesn’t matter. To me, you will always be my brilliant brother.”

Chu Jingtian looked at Su Jingyang in disbelief. “Thank you!” He couldn’t help but throw himself into Su Jingyang’s arms, sobbing uncontrollably.

His composure finally shattered. Even though it should have been a trivial matter, the weight of the past made it feel incredibly unfair. He had done nothing wrong in that relationship, so why was he the one carrying all the blame?
