She ran breathlessly to the bus stop and sat down on a bench, turning off her phone with a vacant look in her eyes, feeling extremely frustrated.
The bus arrived, and she got on to take a seat.
In fact, having been by his side for so long, Jingsheng always knew that he didn’t like her.
He just treated her as a bodyguard and nothing more.
No matter how obvious her feelings were, he never noticed.
The woman he loved was Gu Lili. He couldn’t be with Gu Lili, so, for him, all other women were the same. Why wouldn’t he choose the one who brought him the most benefits?
Yet, she felt so suffocated that it was unbearable.
Not knowing where to go, Jingsheng got off at a park, sat there alone for a while, and by evening a heavy rain started. Jingsheng couldn’t find shelter and was drenched completely.
She walked aimlessly along the sidewalk alone.
Suddenly, a horn sounded not far from her. Without looking, she just kept walking until an umbrella blocked the rain over her head.
Her arm was forcefully grabbed, and only then did she look at the person.
"Are you an idiot?! Why are you wandering around in the rain instead of going home?!"
"I have no home!" Jingsheng pulled away from his hand, "I need to tell Master that I won’t follow you anymore!"
"You said you would tell Lili you won’t follow me, didn’t you? Get in the car, I’ll take you there." His lips were pursed as he glared at her, "Let’s go now."
Jingsheng turned and walked to the back door of the car, pulling it open and getting in.
Her whole body was soaked, and the car seat became wet.
Gu Xichen got into the car and threw her a towel.
The car soon entered Qinyuan District.
When they got out one after another, Gu Lili seeing Jingsheng drenched, told her to take a shower and prepared a set of dry clothes for her.
While she was taking a shower, Gu Lili asked Gu Xichen, "What happened?"
"Jin Miaomiao came to see me today, she wanted a marriage alliance."
"No, I said I’d think about it and give her an answer in three days, but..." Gu Xichen paused, "Jingsheng yelled at me, I told her it was my own business, then she ran off. I’ve been looking for her, out in the heavy rain, alone on the street, she said she won’t follow me anymore, so be it, keep your person for yourself then."
"Xichen, neither you nor Jin Miaomiao love each other; a marriage without mutual affection is just torture. I hope you’ll make a careful choice. Shen Congmo divorced Jin Miaomiao, and paid one hundred million in alimony— if it was bearable, why divorce? Two people without feelings together won’t be happy, it’s always better to be with someone who loves you." Orıginal content can be found at Nove1Fire.net
"I’ll think it over carefully." He got up, "I’ll go back now."
"Alright, drive safely."
When Jingsheng came out, she didn’t see Gu Xichen, and asked, "Did he leave?"
Jingsheng sat down beside her dejectedly, "Master, it looks like he’s going to agree to Jin Miaomiao."
"Not necessarily." Gu Lili gave a slight smile, "He knows what he wants and what he doesn’t. It’s a big decision; he’ll consider it carefully."
"But he is already wavering."
"His wavering depends on feeling that there’s not much difference between Jin Miaomiao and other women, but she isn’t all that attractive to him."
