Mr. CEO Has a Crush on Me-Chapter 1461: The Question Hidden Deep in the Heart That Never Dared to Be Faced
Because this doll is very similar to the one she saw in the shop window when she was a child.
At that time, she just looked a little longer, but didn’t say anything.
"This one, the shop assistant said is an old model and it’s not expensive. Although I don’t know why you kept looking at it that day—it seems like you weren’t a girl who liked Barbie dolls—maybe it has some other meaning?"
Mu Xing’s eyes felt a bit sore, and she nodded.
"A little, I suppose." She really didn’t expect that he would remember the Barbie doll she looked at a few extra times back then, "When I was very young, I was an orphan. My brother and I left the orphanage without being adopted. Life was tough then, and we couldn’t afford anything. But I was still young, and little girls all liked these things. Every time I passed by that shop, looking at the Barbie dolls in the window, I felt that the kids who could have them must be very happy."
"Is it this one?"
"Not exactly, that was many, many years ago, just a little similar, reminding me of my childhood." She looked up, her eyes smiling, but the hint of tears made them sparkle like stars in the sky, "But you know what happened later, I’m no longer that child who’s hungry one day and full the next. So seeing these things is just a reminder. Besides, many things lose their appeal over time, and getting them becomes meaningless."
After speaking, she put down the box, tip-toed, wrapped her arms around his neck, and kissed him on the lips.
"But I’m still very happy, thank you."
Bai Lingyun held her waist, gently pushing the hair from her forehead, "Things you like stop appealing after a while, you change your mind quite fast. So will you stop wanting me after some time? Anyway, you’ve had me."
"What nonsense are you saying?" She hurried to explain, "This is different. Do you still like your childhood toys?"
"So, no matter how long it takes, you’ll still love me? Is that what you mean?"
Mu Xing tilted her head, looking at him thoroughly and seriously.
"Do you really think we have a future?" she instinctively asked.
This is the question she had always hidden deep in her heart, never daring to face directly.
Even though she finally dared to believe that in his heart, there truly was a place for her, she still hesitated to touch upon the future.
Bai Lingyun’s originally gentle expression suddenly changed.
Just the change in his eyes was enough to make her feel something was off.
"So you only intended for this to be a fling." He squinted his phoenix eyes, and though the gaze wasn’t cold or harsh, the way he spoke so calmly and flatly revealed the displeasure and disappointment in his heart.
"No, that’s not it..."
Bai Lingyun suddenly let go, looking at her casually, "I didn’t expect you to think that way. Can I say that you’re just that frivolous?"
"I really didn’t mean it that way."
Mu Xing was hurt by his look.
"I just... but really, have you thought about something so far off?"
Bai Lingyun looked at her for a moment, "Change your clothes and come out, let’s go buy something. Also, you don’t need to rush to Gou’s to see your young master. I’ve already arranged for your brother to get you some time off."
Mu Xing watched as he walked out without looking back, feeling terrible inside.
She covered her face, wondering why she always got tongue-tied in front of him.
Things that shouldn’t be said, why say them at all.
