Your Beloved Sweetheart Is Online-Chapter 152 - 153: Chenxing, are you jealous?_1

Are you scared?

You are, aren’t you?

Recalling the incidents from yesterday, her body can’t help but tremble in fear. She was so terrified then, and even now she suffers from the aftermath. It’s as if she’s still seeing the speeding vehicles, the trees receding rapidly, the whistling harsh winds, and his cold gaze...

The flavor of waiting for a response is quite unbearable.

If it were someone else, he would have lost his temper a long time ago, waiting this long. Yet now, he must feign his composed demeanor. Gu Shaocheng feels restless, staring at the ceiling light in the bathroom, the room hushed, devoid of noise.

"Don’t be afraid of me, I will change,"

He suddenly let her go, holding her face, rosy from the heat and so clear it sparkled, observing her closely, a hint of unease in his gaze. "I should not have treated you that way repeatedly, Chenxing, I assure you, I will change."

Gu Shaocheng, a man so arrogant and aloof was now standing before her with a hint of humility, cradling her face, speaking in a tone half pleading, half uneasy, that made Chenxing’s heart jolt heavily.

Is this really the domineering and stubborn man that she knew?

She had always thought that kind of man, even when he was wrong, would never bow his head to apologize to anyone. He would solve all his troublesome problems with brute force.

But she seemed to have misunderstood.

Turns out the phrase ’change when knowing one’s wrongs’ also exists in this man’s dictionary. That must be a precious apology, right?

Lowering her gaze, she concealed the surprise in her eyes. "Are you really going to change? Or is it just lip service, and the moment I upset you, you will become... cruel to me?"

Cruel... that word was too harsh.

Gu Shaocheng once again carefully embraced her into his arms, as if he was holding onto a world that lent him peace, "When I, Gu Shaocheng, give a promise, it’s worth its weight in gold. Chenxing, from now on, I will absolutely not allow another scratch on you."

Feeling the warmth of his embrace, Chenxing’s heart felt strangely peaceful, with a touch of affection, and even a hint of possessive desire.

Mild, not deep.

It’s not that she didn’t trust him, but past experiences had taught her that this man was not one to be trifled with. His affection for her was sincere, but his bad temper was also truly terrifying. One second he would hold you gently in his palm, the next he could cast you into hell.

All she could do was try to avoid antagonizing him as much as possible. Whether she could change others was unknown, but her walking on eggshells might spare her from disaster.

But understanding something and being able to control yourself are two different things.

"You still went out carousing last night, coming back all reeking of alcohol and lipstick marks all over your neck." She bit her lower lip, as she extricated herself from his warm embrace, unable to suppress the sourness in her heart, her eyes filled with resentment as she looked up at him.

Her gaze searched around his neck...

Darn it, this man had actually cleaned up all the incriminating evidence.

Gu Shaocheng knew what she was searching for, a hint of guilt seeping into his amber-colored eyes.

"Last night..." Last night he indeed did go out to party and he even returned with evidence.

For a moment, he was so angry he gritted his teeth. What were those bodyguards thinking, letting him come home with all that incriminating evidence on him? Now, he had no defense, and this unfounded charge seemed confirmed.

Chenxing pursed her lips, waiting for him to continue.

That gaze was as if she had caught him in the act, with a strong hint of jealousy.

That look, when caught in Gu Shaocheng’s eyes, made the corners of his mouth curve up unusually high, and a touch of amusement crossed his eyes, "Chenxing, are you jealous?"
