Waiting For Your Confession

Chapter 15 [The Origin Of Chou Tzuyu]

"Do you want to know my true origins?"

Origins? Sana had never thought to ask Tzuyu this. First, because there were a lot of rumors circulating regarding this subject already. From his return to the Chou family at 16 years old, to becoming the head of the Chou family, Tzuyu had always been a popular topic of gossip. And the second reason was that due to Chou Yi Tian's huge mouth, everybody knew that the Chou family had first found himwhile he was pushing a broken tricycle filled with plastic bottles and cardboard boxes.

But since Tzuyu had asked her this sentence, Sana figured that he wanted her to know. So she nodded. "Un."

"I know there are a lot of rumors about my childhood. And everyone knows that I'm Chou Yi Tian's illegitimate son." When Tzuyu said the words 'illegitimate son', he almost gnashed his teeth. His hand that was gripping a porcelain spoon tightened, turning his knuckles white.

Sana looked at Tzuyu's clenched fist and couldn't help but reach out to put a hand over it. Sana then tried to pull out the porcelain spoon Tzuyu was still holding.

When Tzuyu felt a soft touch at the back of his hand, his expression eased in an instant.

"Be careful, you might hurt your hand." Tzuyu's grip was too tight for Sana to be able to release the spoon. In the end, she could only gently remind him.

The giddy Tzuyu finally opened his fist, but the fragile porcelain spoon had already broken into two. With furrowed brows, Sana spread his palm and found a red mark.

"It's fine. I'm not hurt." Just as Sana was carefully examining the mark, Tzuyu's hand suddenly turned over and seized Sana's hand.

Surprised, Sana raised her eyes to look at the man opposite her.

Tzuyu didn't know why he did it. But the feel of Sana's finger still lingered in his palms. He couldn't help but want to keep holding her hand.

"Do you mind?" Su Hang asked, looking straight at Sana.

"What?" Sana was slow to react.

"That I'm an illegitimate child."

Sana had already thought about that issue in her previous life. Truthfully, when she had married Tzuyu, the labels attached to him had also attached to her. The number of people who laughed at Tzuyu for being illegitimate was the same as the number of people who laughed at her for marrying an illegitimate son. The rumors didn't stop even after their divorce. They would sneer and say 'Ah, look, Sana Minatozaki finally couldn't stand to be married to him. She finally divorced that illegitimate child.'

But how many people knew back then that it was Tzuyu who had offered to divorce her.
　　
It was true that at first, Sana had no choice but to marry Tzuyu for the sake of Minatozaki Group. But in the five years she had lived with Tzuyu, Sana had learned to appreciate her husband. He was calm and strong, erudite and wise, elegant, and a gentleman. If she hadn't known that Tzuyu had another woman in his heart, Sana would've let herself love the man.

"Do you remember your business trip to Hong Kong?" Sana suddenly said. "You went on the second day of our marriage."

Tzuyu blinked, confused.

"That day, I went to Mina's club and bumped into Chou Menqi."

At the mention of Chou Menqi, Tzuyu's eyebrows furrowed.

"I heard her talking about you."

Tzuyu could already imagine the words that came out of Chou Menqi's mouth.

"I was outside their room, so they didn't know I was listening. Then...I went in." Sana said.

Tzuyu grew nervous, and his hold on Sana's hand tightened a little.
