The Reigning Star: Tycoon's Exclusive Obsession-Chapter 657 - 655: Don’t you think you’re too scary

Gu Xiyao slightly furrowed her eyebrows and shook her head, saying, "Don’t keep saying things like this to end the engagement. He is my Little Uncle. How could I have such thoughts?"

"Really?" Ning Zesheng snorted coldly, "When I came to find you last night, you should have just come out of the shower and the air conditioning at home had just been turned off, right?"

Gu Xiyao’s face changed, losing all color.

"You were only having a sore throat, but because you didn’t want to save Tongtong, you aggravated your illness and ended up with a full-blown fever." He said directly and decisively.

Gu Xiyao didn’t know where to look with her eyes.

"If it’s not because you like Lu Beichen or because you’re jealous of Tongtong, why would you do such a thing?" Ning Zesheng laughed, "You asked me what’s lacking in you compared to her, right? Let me tell you now. You’re better than them in every way, whether it’s family or personal conditions; you’re nearly perfect. But you’re too perfect, and being with you is suffocating. Even when I’m about to end the engagement with you, you still keep a perfect smile. I can never tell whether you’re happy or sad. If I hadn’t accidentally discovered last night that you let yourself fall sick, I would probably really think you don’t know what it means to be angry. But because of this, don’t you find yourself terrifying?"

Gu Xiyao took a step back. She, terrifying?

"I’m inherently an unhappy person! We’re really not suited for each other." He sighed, "Xiyao, sometimes don’t be too harsh on yourself, it’s okay to not be so perfectly proper occasionally. Take care and rest well."

After he finished speaking, he got into the car and drove away. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Gu Xiyao stood silently on the spot, though it was daytime, she felt a cold, dark aura surrounding her.

She, terrifying?

Clearly, he said she’s nearly perfect, but why did he say she’s terrifying again?

Why doesn’t he like her?

So, Little Uncle likes Ji Niandong because she can cry, fuss, and act spoiled?

Gu Xiyao recalled several times when Ji Niandong was smug and unreasonable, and she wondered why Little Uncle would like someone so immature. Turns out, this is what it means to not be so cold?

Has she been wrong all along?

But her mother clearly said this is the standard for a noble lady, makes people like you more!

Gu Xiyao stood there for a long time before she gradually walked home.

Ji Niandong still hasn’t woken up, everyone is worried to death. People coming to see her came wave after wave, even the entertainment industry started to buzz with the stories of her having an accident and being hospitalized.

Lu Beichen hadn’t been sleeping well for days, and when the ward finally had just the two of them left, he held her hand, placed it on his forehead, and sighed.

"What exactly happened to you back then?" He asked softly, as if she could hear him. Was she as helpless lying on the hospital bed back then?

"Honey, do you remember when we released flower lanterns by the river in Jiang City, we made wishes there, didn’t we? At that time, I hoped everything would get better, even if you never knew the truth, we could still be together happily." Lu Beichen carefully looked at the little woman on the bed, "Sometimes I think it was all my arrogance back then, not recognizing anyone, including you. If... I had known it was you all along, I would have watched over you properly from the start."

"Now you’re lying here, and our son doesn’t want to talk to me either." He chuckled self-deprecatingly, "Neither of you want to deal with me, seems like I’m really getting my retribution."

Lu Beichen closed his eyes and placed her hand against his face, feeling the warmth from her hand, only then could he be sure that she’s still by his side.
