Chapter 300: Escape
Gu Dongxing hurriedly said, "Xiao Meng, I’ve come to apologize."
Upon hearing the word ’apologize,’ Mengyu felt panic set in. Was he finally going to be honest with her?
His mother had previously received a favor from Old Sir Ye and had always wanted him to fulfill his marriage promise with Ye Family’s daughter. Was it because his mother persuaded him that he, a man of his word, was finally going to be with Ye Qing?
Her heart felt as though it was being grabbed by something, as though it was being chewed by teeth, grinding minutely, a pain she had never felt before, unbearable.
"I don’t want to listen!" She suddenly got angry, opened the car door, and ran out.
Gu Dongxing quickly closed the car door and chased after Mengyu, meanwhile crying out plaintively: "Xiao Meng, Xiao Meng, listen to me, I really had no choice."
Hearing this, Mengyu felt even more heartbroken. He said he had no choice; yes, his marriage promise with Ye Qing involved a real betrothal from childhood, unlike that false one with Ye Rushui.
Although Ye Qing and Sun Erliang were married, in reality, since Sun Erliang was infertile, Ye Qing was still a virgin, as if she had never been married.
So his helplessness was about having to fulfill the marriage promise? Was he really planning to fulfill that promise with Ye Qing?
Mengyu’s heart ached even more, and she ran even faster.
Previously, when she knew Gu Dongxing had a marriage promise, although she felt uncomfortable, she knew Gu Dongxing’s heart was only for her, that he wouldn’t fulfill that absurd childhood betrothal.
Thus, she magnanimously said that until he resolved his marriage promise issues, she would not get involved with him.
Even when she realized he had brought back Ye Qing, she built up her psychological defenses, reasoning that if Gu Dongxing could not turn someone down, she no longer desired such a man, however outstanding.
But now, hearing Gu Dongxing apologizing, mentioning how helpless he felt, her heart panicked.
She subconsciously evaded hearing Gu Dongxing’s apology, wanting even less to hear him explain his helplessness. It meant she had lost.
She had lost to a childhood betrothal marriage promise.
She thought she just had a fondness for Gu Dongxing, that she wasn’t deeply involved yet, and could leave Gu Dongxing at any time.
But now, hearing him apologize, saying he was helpless, she actually felt panicked.
Turns out, unknowingly, she had already lost her heart!
Mengyu felt that the only thing she could do now was not to listen, not to hear Gu Dongxing’s apologies, nor his reasons born of helplessness.
She just wanted to hide, to make him unable to find her, then he wouldn’t have to apologize to her, and wouldn’t speak of his helplessness.
Mengyu was very fast because, unconsciously, she had started using the Wood Immortal Skill; her speed had reached its extreme, she headed straight towards outside the city.
"Xiao Meng, don’t run, wait for me!" Gu Dongxing was very anxious and could only chase desperately.
He was a Level 7 Martial Artist, yet he couldn’t catch up with Mengyu, a Third-level Martial Artist?
When had Mengyu learned Qinggong?
Gu Dongxing’s speed could only reach up to twenty to thirty kilometers per hour at most, and maintaining such high-speed running over a long period was impossible even with the power of a Level 7 Martial Artist.
But Mengyu managed it.
Therefore, after chasing for over three hours, and entering a mountain range, he had still lost her. He felt his body reaching its limit, truly without the energy to run anymore.
Moreover, he had lost the direction of Mengyu. Indeed, he had a sense of where Mengyu was, even if he could not catch up, he could feel her direction and chase towards it.
But now, he had lost her direction; how could he continue the pursuit?
Actually, Mengyu had run to a place visible to Gu Dongxing, then hid inside the Taoyuan Space.
Just that she didn’t know, she was profoundly mistaken this time because she misunderstood Gu Dongxing’s intentions.
At this moment, Gu Dongxing was also extremely bewildered; he didn’t understand why Mengyu wanted to run. He truly recognized his errors and had come to apologize.
