100 Days Of Escaping My Wedding-Chapter 442: Live Well

In the end, the one who truly killed Gu Hangshen was herself.

She had always resented Gu Hangshen’s reserved silence and lack of romance, but what about herself? Hadn’t she given up trying just because she was afraid of getting hurt, even dragging others down with her?

If she had firmly believed in him and stayed by his side no matter how much he pushed her away, would today’s situation be different?

At least, she wouldn’t have the same regrets as she does now!

But from beginning to end, she had always been suspicious, always wavering...

Ever since Gu Hangshen’s death, she felt as if she was going insane. If she were thinking normally, she should continually tell herself it wasn’t her fault, that it was Gu Hangshen who didn’t trust her, who was unwilling to confront things together.

On the surface, she indeed told everyone exactly that and seemed very strong.

But in reality, she torturously blamed herself for everything, replaying those possibilities over and over.

The more she pretended to be nonchalant, the more she struggled with the pain inside. freewebnoveℓ.com

Though her heart felt as heavy as a thousand pounds, her expression remained calm and indifferent, "Qin Yao, if by some chance we win, let’s forget everything in the past and live well."

"What about you?" Qin Yao asked.

"Me...?"

A long silence, followed by a sigh.

"I, of course... will also live well."

Because she had no right to die.

She still had her grandfather, Xiao Nian, and wasn’t her life exchanged for his? What right did she have to die...

"We’re here."

Qin Yao helped her unbuckle her seatbelt and assisted her out of the car.

Xiaoqiao looked impassively at the somewhat old but strangely familiar villa.

Back then, she would often come here to play.

Little did she expect that after so many years, Qin Yao had not changed his address.

Qin Yao asked her to sit on the sofa, then asked nervously, "Are you hungry? I’ll cook something."

"Let’s order takeout."

That was quite the direct disdain...

Qin Yao’s face darkened, "Actually, my cooking skills are decent now, and there are ready-to-use ingredients in the fridge."

"Alright then." Xiaoqiao nodded, "I’d like to take a shower first."

"Oh... okay, just wait a moment..." Qin Yao scurried into the bedroom in a fluster.

Xiaoqiao heard rummaging noises from inside, and it was a while before Qin Yao emerged.

Xiaoqiao’s eyes flashed with surprise when she saw the pajamas in Qin Yao’s hands.

She had thought Qin Yao would bring out his own pajamas, but instead, it was a set of pink pajamas with cartoon patterns all over them.

What surprised her was that this tasteless pajama set looked so familiar...

Seven years ago, on the night of Qin Yao’s birthday, she drank too much and stayed the night. Qin Yao had hastily picked this set at the supermarket for her. She liked it, but only wore it that one time and forgot to take it home.

It was their last birthday spent together; not long after, the incident with him and Xiao Rou in the hotel happened.

Why had she forgotten to take it back? Xiaoqiao remembered... Again, it was because of Gu Hangshen.

As an elder, he had ordered her not to stay out overnight, especially not at a boy’s house. His cold threats over the phone had terrified her soul away, sobering her up considerably, and in a rush, she had changed and left, completely forgetting to take the pajamas with her.

If at that time...

If at that time she had looked back, would she have seen the sorrow in Qin Yao’s eyes...
