Your Beloved Sweetheart Is Online-Chapter 88: Is it wrong for her to desire care and attention from others?_1
She had resisted before, but what was the end result? Chenxing felt a pang of discomfort in her heart. She understood that as a woman, she couldn’t compete with powerful men. Knowing she couldn’t win over, she didn’t want to get herself into trouble.
Did she really have to torture herself?
She was without family to begin with, so wherever she lived was still a life. Moreover, Gu Shaocheng was kind to her—rescuing her from the police, providing for her necessities and education, arranging her trips, and even rushing to comfort her in the middle of the night whenever she had been wronged. Apart from her dead parents, who else was willing to do all these for her?
She was just a girl hungry for love, thirsting for someone’s care...
She was not unaware that Gu Shaocheng might dump her one day. But rather than waiting for that day to come, she preferred to focus on learning and enjoying each day now. Should she have to live with cold-hearted relatives like her aunt to make it right?
Even for couples, breakups are nothing unusual. Who can guarantee that every dating couple will eventually end up together? Those classmates in college, didn’t they also switch boyfriends/girlfriends all the time? Compared to them, she thought Gu Shaocheng was much better. At least he treated her genuinely, and took care of her well in all aspects.
"Chenxing, wake up. A man like him will never love you."
"I don’t love him either." Chenxing flattened the straw between her teeth. So there was no issue of anyone deceiving anyone. She herself didn’t let her heart out, because she was also afraid. Afraid that she’d be heartbroken when break up comes.
Xia Jianqing’s eyes brightened, as though he saw a glimmer of hope.
"Then move out from his house. I’ll help you find a house, contact the school, and give you a monthly allowance of a thousand."
She closed her lips tightly. In the end, she didn’t want to burden him.
She shook her head.
"Jianqing, can I deal with my own matters? I, I can’t burden you like this." He was just her classmate. How could she accept his help? How would he get back what he gave?
"Why not?" Xia Jianqing suddenly grabbed her hand. "Promise me that you’ll move out from there. I can’t bear to see you going downhill. And let me tell you, his intentions for keeping you by his side must be sinister! He...he’s my brother!"
"Wh...what?"
Chenxing’s mouth was agape like she had heard a shocking piece of news. "Jianqing, what kind of joke is this? His surname is Gu, and yours is Xia. Your joke is not funny at all."
How was that possible?
She couldn’t believe it at all!
"This is a family matter, I can’t tell you in detail. Chenxing, you must move out from there. Clear your mind. He’s definitely keeping you because he knows I like you. He wants to take away my love from me. You cannot be fooled by him, understand?!"
"You... you like me?" Another bombshell dropped.
"I like you. I want you to be my girlfriend."
He liked her? He wanted her to be his girlfriend?
Those words kept echoing in Chenxing’s mind, refusing to fade away. Even when she was pressed under Gu Shaocheng that night, her thoughts were still back in that moment at the KFC.
What kind of conflicting emotions could that be?
When the boy you have been secretly in love with for years suddenly takes your hand and tells you that it’s not unrequited love—that he’s been in love with you, too, all this time—what kind of joy does that bring?
Chenxing didn’t know!
