Love You Till the End-Chapter 824 - 822: Bright Star 2 - Love (Part 5)

Gu Liancheng looked at Qin Jin, wanting to ask if that was really the case, but because Ye Zi was present, she couldn’t help but suppress her doubts, restraining herself from asking.

To be praised is to be praised; what exactly he praised her for, she thought there was no need to know anymore. Because even if he truly retained a hint of feelings for her, he wouldn’t break up over her, would he?

"Don’t be mad anymore." Qin Jin hooked up Ye Zi’s chin with his hand, lifting his lips and chuckling softly: "At worst, from now on, I won’t praise other women, nor will I praise Liancheng."

Gu Liancheng put away her thoughts, looked at Ye Zi, and smiled lightly: "Miss Ye, you really don’t need to get upset over me, Jin’s praise has no other implications, you shouldn’t mind it."

"He praised you like that, how could there not be another meaning..." Ye Zi revealed a look of grievance.

"What, did he say?" Gu Liancheng still asked after all.

Ye Zi was silent for a while before saying: "He said, not only are you beautiful, but you’re also gentle, considerate, and understanding, making you the best candidate for a wife."

After hearing her words, Gu Liancheng curled up the corners of her lips, smiling and saying: "Jin is being sarcastic, I have a bad personality, prone to getting angry, everyone who has worked with me knows that. Plus, I can’t do laundry or cook, not even the most basic tidying up of a room. I’m the least suitable person to be a wife."

"Really?" Ye Zi still sounded very downcast.

"Yes," Gu Liancheng said, "Jin said that not to praise me, but to mock me. So you mustn’t misunderstand Jin, there’s nothing between us, and it was just my one-sided feelings. Jin had no feelings for me. Since he chose to be with you, he must care about you."

"Oh!"

Ye Zi responded dully and then looked up at Qin Jin, asking, "Do you care about me?"

"If I don’t care about you, who does." Qin Jin’s fingers stroked back and forth on her smooth chin, his deep voice carrying a seductive tone.

"Your mouth is always so sweet, nothing but sweet nothings." Ye Zi pushed away his hand and then broke free from his embrace, looking very unhappy.

"Young Master Jin!"

Just at this moment, a bodyguard walked over from a nearby corridor.

He quickly approached Qin Jin, handed him a lighter, "Young Master Jin, we found your lighter."

Qin Jin took the lighter to inspect it, and after confirming it was okay, he asked: "Where did you find it?"

"Found it in the car," the bodyguard replied: "The lighter must have slipped from your pocket when you got out, falling under the seat."

Qin Jin hummed in response, signaling that the other could leave.

Watching Qin Jin holding the lighter, Gu Liancheng’s gaze turned complex, her lips slightly parted, "You still kept this lighter?"

"Hmm, it’s functional." His long fingers flicked up, flipping open the cap to reveal a pale blue flame, his movements elegant and commanding.

Gu Liancheng laughed: "I thought you would have thrown it away by now, never expected you would keep it until today."

"The lighter she gave you?" Looking at Qin Jin, Ye Zi’s eyes reddened, "Didn’t you tell me, this lighter was from a very important, memorable friend? Why did you lie to me, why did you lie to me..."

Upon hearing this, Qin Jin closed the lighter, reached out to pull her over, and said in a deep voice: "I’ll explain it to you when we get back."
