Tang Rongling gently lifted the girl who had collapsed on the ground. Holding her close, he said with heartache, “It’s not your fault, Gu Qingxin. The person I’ve always loved is Xiao Ci.”
Five years ago, the moment Gu Yunci risked her life to save him, he fell in love with her. He had wanted to cancel the engagement with Gu Qingxin for a long time, but YunCi always stopped him, fearing that Qingxin would be shocked.
Gu Yunci is just too kind-hearted, always considering others, which is a stark contrast to the ‘arrogant and domineering’ Gu Qingxin.
“If you love her, then what about me?” Gu Qingxin’s grip grew tighter, heartache suffocating her. It felt like her heart was being impaled by a sharp blade, with ceaseless bleeding.
“I never said I loved you.”
Gu Qingxin heard Tang Rongling say so.
Gu Qingxin’s eyes widened in shock. Her frail body retreated two steps uncontrollably.
“Ah Ling, Ah Ling, my feet hurt, can you carry me?”
“Ah Ling, don’t walk so fast. Wait for me.”
“Ah Ling, we are going to be engaged soon. Do you love me or not? Tell me, do you?”
Gu Qingxin only realized at this moment that all the years she spent chasing after him, he had never once told her he loved her.
“Ah Ling, don’t say anymore. We’ve wronged my sister. I feel terrible, Ah Ling, let’s break up. My sister has always been good to me, I can’t wrong her.”
Gu Yunci threw herself onto the man, crying miserably as if she was on the verge of collapsing.
“Don’t cry. You’re pregnant. You mustn’t get agitated.” Tang Rongling reassured, his eyebrows furrowing as he comforted the girl in his arms.
Gu Qingxin took a sharp breath, unable to believe that they were no longer a couple, and they even had a child.
The previous night when she was almost violated by a disgusting man and called him for help, he ruthlessly hung up because he was with Gu Yunci.
She had lost the purity she had kept for him, and he… already had another woman.
“Gu Qingxin, whatever trick you’re playing, I don’t have time for you!”
He didn’t love her. In his eyes, whatever she did was merely playing around and throwing tantrums.
But he forgot that she was no longer the Miss of the Gu family. She was just a poor creature who had been chased away from the Gu family. How could she have the privilege to throw tantrums?
Gu Qingxin felt slightly dazed, but still could hear Tang Rongling’s icy voice.
He said, “Let’s call off our engagement. Xiao Ci is pregnant with my child, and I can’t let my child be illegitimate.”
The tears in Gu Qingxin’s eyes finally overflowed as the burden became unbearable.
A touch of surprise sparkled in Tang Rongling’s eyes. Gu Qingxin had never cried in his memory. She was always smiling, always clinging to him like a piece of candy, always asking him to smile with her.
Back then, he found her annoying, but since she was the Miss of the Gu family, he had to bear with it.
“No, you can’t cancel the engagement with my sister. We already owe her so much. I will never agree, even if it kills me—” Gu Yunci’s hand tightly clenched his clothes. Her emotions ran high and suddenly her complexion changed. “Ah Ling, my stomach hurts, the baby… ”
“I’ll take you to the hospital.”
“No, I won’t go unless my sister forgives me.” With a face of tear-streaked sorrow, Gu Yunci cried, her hand still tightly clenched onto the man’s clothes, her knuckles turning white.
