Stars In His Eyes-Chapter 1673: His Whole World Is Only You 6
Ding Jinshi finally came to her senses, shook her head, and then handed the snacks in her hand back to Chen Shan, saying, "Those are things for six months down the road. What am I supposed to do now? You’re right, Ding Long and I aren’t really an engaged couple. After he and I part, he will have to get married and have children, giving his care to another woman. That’s normal."
Ding Jinshi shrugged with an indifferent expression, "I’m not Gu En, I can’t bear the people around me being good to others as well as me. Ding Long and I are good friends. If he gets married and has children, I will definitely wish him happiness."
Chen Shan almost felt like coughing up a mouthful of blood for Ding Long. If Ding Long heard Ding Jinshi’s generous words, he’d probably get so angry he’d spit blood. Chen Shan shook her head; Ding Jinshi has been so well-protected by Ding Long that she’s almost become carefree.
"Jinshi, don’t tell me you’re still thinking about Lan Li?" Chen Shan suddenly brought up Lan Li.
Sitting next to her, Ding Jinshi was stunned for two seconds, then quickly shook her head. Her tone was no longer as downcast and sad as it used to be when she mentioned Lan Li.
"I don’t think about him anymore. The day of the engagement party, I completely lost hope. If you guys don’t bring him up in front of me, I wouldn’t even think of him anymore. Maybe after despair, you truly learn to let go. Hearing you mention Lan Li, I even feel like it was ages ago, as if matters between him and me were a century ago." Ding Jinshi sighed again, "In the past, I was always unwilling to let go, not because I didn’t want to let go, but because I hadn’t despaired enough, hadn’t been hurt enough. Since breaking up with him, I was unsatisfied, so I held on tightly, always thinking that one day I could ask if he ever loved me, and if he did, how could he be so heartless? But now that I think about it, how foolish I was back then. A breakup means not loving anymore. Who would be willing to say goodbye if they truly loved? Who, if they loved enough, would willing to hurt each other?"
"It’s good that you’ve come to understand." Chen Shan saw there was still some repressed emotion in Ding Jinshi’s eyes. She knew that Ding Jinshi wasn’t as magnanimous at heart as she claimed to be. After all, once you’ve loved so much, so passionately and so bitterly, it wouldn’t really feel as if it’s just like a different lifetime, as exaggerated as she described. But at least Chen Shan could see that Ding Jinshi truly let go of Lan Li, as she said, once you’ve despaired enough, you do learn to let go.
Chen Shan raised her hand and patted Ding Jinshi’s shoulder, giving her comfort, "There are plenty more fish in the sea, why fixate on just one? If you ask me, Ding Long treats you so well, even if you part ways, you might not find someone who treats you as well as Ding Long does, even if you marry someone else. You might as well turn the pretense into reality and just be with Ding Long. Anyway, you and Ding Long have been friends for many years, you know him well. If you can make Ding Long fall for you, then when you marry Ding Long and become Mrs. Ding, he will always be good to only you."
Ding Jinshi shook her head, "Forget it. That would be too selfish, just to monopolize his kindness, I selfishly take over his marriage? I can’t do such a thing."
"You and Ding Long have spent so much time together, do you really feel no spark of romantic feelings?" Chen Shan clicked her tongue twice, "Ding Jinshi, you are a truly cold person, just like Lan Li; any woman upon meeting a man like Ding Long, who takes care of her so attentively, would feel some emotion, right?"
