“So, for all these years, she had always thought that you dumped her because you didn’t like her anymore! Yet, she refused to believe it entirely, and would always make excuses for you, telling herself that perhaps you had your reasons. Eventually, she was afraid that she was being too cheap for thinking about you all the time even after being dumped by you. That’s the reason why she was always so conflicted after reuniting with you. She wanted to love, but did not dare to… It was only until that day when you did not attend the wedding discussion, along with Yang Sitong’s taunts that she was a used shoe that you did not want… Looking at how despaired she was, I could not hold it in anymore and told her about everything back then. She then went to look for you right after…”
Mo Jin pointed to her heart. “She wanted to let you know that you were always there in her heart.”
Lu Yanchen had been listening the entire time. His lips were still pursed into a thin line, but the coldness in his eyes dissipated gradually. After some time, he spoke softly, “Got it.”
Mo Jin looked at him deeply before closing the door and leaving. Even though she was the one who had caused the misunderstanding back then, a relationship was still based on the parties involved.
It was enough that she had said what she needed to.
Lu Yanchen’s car sped furiously on the roads.
All of a sudden, he pulled an emergency brake and stopped at the side of the road, his hands white from gripping the steering wheel and cracking.
Looking at the tree ahead of him that was being shone on by the sunlight, it was as though the girl that was standing beneath a tree outside of the field in his Year 3 had appeared once more.
She had a beautiful smile, radiant as the sun, bedazzling him instantly.
At that time, he had merely taken it as nothing more than a beautiful encounter. Yet, he had not thought that they would meet again.
And that quickly as well…
That very afternoon, 2 hours later, she walked up to his face with her bold guts in that silent library, confessing to him, “Lu Yanchen, I like you!”
That wasn’t a surprising statement to hear—after all, there had been countless of girls who had said that to him. However, it was only through her mouth that those words struck a chord in his heart.
From that day on, she had tried her best to force herself into his life.
Each time he saw her, he found himself fumbling that very night and remembering her smile the moment his eyes were closed.
Those words would fill his mind…
Lu Yanchen, I like you!
He had not ever thought of getting himself a girlfriend, neither had he really fancied any girl.
That was because, he had a fiancée.
Honestly, he truly did not like that fiancée of his. Be it mentally or physically, there was no love nor impulse on his part. In fact, there was even slight repulsion.
However, she had saved him, and that was an agreement made by grandpa.
Since he didn’t have much thoughts toward other girls as well, he decided that it didn’t matter whether or not he had a fiancée, and would just let it be. Besides, having a fiancée could save him from tons of unnecessary trouble as well.
It wasn’t that he hadn’t considered telling that girl to never appear before him ever again and that he had a fiancée. However, a part of him was afraid that if he really said that, she would truly disappear forever, and he would never be able to see her ever again.
As such, he just decided to treat her colder and colder.
Yet, there was something about her that insisted on sticking to him relentlessly. Eventually, he found himself having less control of his own heart as time went by, till a day came where he could no longer ignore it—he liked her.
She was a girl who wasn’t all that bright; to be blunt, she was somewhat stupid.
If one weren’t all that pretty, then so be it. But stupid? What was she to do in the future? Thankfully she had met him. What if she had met other guys? She would definitely have been bullied and taken advantage of.
Guess he had no choice but to watch over her properly then!
When he made up his mind to be with her, he went over to the Yangs and broke up the marriage agreement. He then chose to enter a university in the city she was at, but…
