Gu Linyuan silently looked at Song Qiao’s smiling face and felt a dense discomfort in his heart. It took a while before he let out a grunt from deep in his throat and sat down on the chair beside the hospital bed.
After they broke up, they had not had a proper conversation together, and now their identities were those of the most awkward ex-boyfriends and girlfriends. At this moment, Song Qiao felt even more awkward sitting here with Gu Linyuan, not knowing what to say for a while.
When Gu Linyuan betrayed her and broke up with her initially, she didn’t hate him, and had even thought about whether to take revenge. But as time went on, she realized that letting go of this relationship was not as easy as it sounds, yet not as difficult as it seems.
Like now, Gu Linyuan was sitting in front of her, and she could actually face him calmly.
The two of them were silent for quite a while until Song Qiao was the first to break the silence, smiling as she asked, "By the way, have you been well lately?"
Gu Linyuan’s deep gaze was fixed on Song Qiao. Hearing her question, he retracted his gaze to look at the white bedsheets and chuckled softly before asking, "Qiaoqiao, haven’t you been watching the news lately?"
Song Qiao was stunned for a moment, not immediately understanding why Gu Linyuan was asking this question, and subconsciously shook her head with a smile, "You know I don’t really like watching the news."
Hearing Song Qiao’s response, Gu Linyuan looked up at her face, which carried a slight smile, seemingly relieved, and promptly changed the topic by directly asking, "Is he treating you well?"
The ’he’ Gu Linyuan referred to was Lu Jingchen.
Song Qiao understood naturally and was slightly stunned but still kept her smile, nodding, "He treats me very well."
"Qiaoqiao, you’re lying to me." Gu Linyuan didn’t believe her words, his piercing gaze inching over her, like a dense net making her unable to find escape. His lips seemed pale due to not drinking water for a while, and his low voice carried a definite tone, "If he treated you well, how could he let another woman hurt you? Qiaoqiao, he doesn’t treat you well, does he?"
The curtains in the hospital room were drawn open, and the outside sunshine was just right, filling the room and shining on the floor, just falling on Gu Linyuan’s body, reflecting Song Qiao’s somewhat astonished expression clearly in his dark eyes, as if she was the only person in his world right now.
Song Qiao, for a moment, didn’t understand why Gu Linyuan was so sure that Lu Jingchen wasn’t treating her well; it was because of his very certain demeanor and tone that she also had a moment of daze, unclear whether Lu Jingchen was good or bad to her. Updates are released by novèlfire.net
She was always a person easily touched by others; as long as others were a little good to her, and if she also liked that person, she would involuntarily think of giving her sincere heart to them.
If Lu Jingchen had been bad to her from the start until now, she might have blocked him out of her world without hesitation.
But because from the beginning, his attitude was always ambiguous, sometimes being irritatingly bad, but sometimes being gently kind, making her unable to help but want to sink in.
To her, Lu Jingchen was like an angel who suddenly descended to save her when she was at her lowest, and regardless of the initial intentions, his caring for her over this period was genuine.
"He really treats me well most of the time." Song Qiao slightly smiled, as she spoke, she moved her fallen hair behind her ears, her calm and gentle features carrying a soft smile, her voice soft and very comfortable to hear, "That incident was an accident, he didn’t know it was me, and his relationship with Zuo Yuqing is not bad, after all, they knew each other from before, it’s normal for him to be worried seeing her..."
"No need to explain." Gu Linyuan directly interrupted her, his eyes carrying a bit of hurt, his tone indifferent yet carrying a faint sense of helplessness, "You have always been , even if he doesn’t treat you well, you would still say he treats you well. Qiaoqiao, I know what you think, but I will only tell you, if he really doesn’t treat you well, I will win you back. You rejecting me is your matter; me pursuing you is my own affair..."
