Chapter 26: Is it because of Gu Qibao?
But to Bo Chengxin, this sentence struck like thunder. She was dumbfounded, trembling as she asked after a long pause, "Why?"
"Is it because of Gu Qibao?" She couldn’t help but blurt out.
"There’s no reason. Our relationship as boyfriend and girlfriend was fake to begin with. You haven’t forgotten that, have you?"
Bo Chengxin felt a tightening in her throat. Yes, how could she have forgotten that pact?
Di Mingjue glanced at her, his usual indifferent self. "Don’t bother Gu Qibao anymore. It has nothing to do with her."
Di Mingjue left, his cold, indifferent face reminiscent of the times when, despite her attempts to entangle him, he ignored her, pushing away her hand.
She wouldn’t have been hit by the car, it was just her deliberate act of being pushed away violently, tumbling into the path of a speeding car.
Di Mingue always believed it was his fault, so later he felt sorry and was no longer so indifferent to her. He even looked after her.
Later, Di Mingjue found her a doctor abroad, saying there was a chance to cure her legs. Before leaving, she requested that if it failed, she could pretend to be his girlfriend, even if it was a sham. Di Mingjue agreed.
The surgery did fail, but Di Mingjue kept his promise. He continued to look after her, and the four great families all thought she was his girlfriend, but she never was.
He has always been indifferent to her, making it a one-woman show.
He came, not even offering a word of courtesy. A few indifferent words ended their relationship, and then he left. He didn’t even bother with an explanation, reminding her of how domineering he was. The last sentence even sounded like a warning to her.
Bo Chengxin’s shoulders trembled violently, she was somewhat in disbelief. Why did he suddenly say this to her?
She was still stunned. Even if it was a farce, hadn’t he conceded to this fake arrangement?
Why does he suddenly want to stop without any warning? Does he not even want to give her another illusion?
Bo Chengxin cringed in heartache, a pain that was indescribable. It was a pain that made her suffocate, even contemplating ending her life.
𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
Why, after all these years, is he still so cold at heart? Why doesn’t he leave her any illusions? She would die before she believed it was not because of Gu Qibao.
There must’ve been something that happened between them. Why else would Di Mingjue suddenly come to say these things to her?
Are they together? Bo Chengxin became hysterical, she couldn’t accept this reality!
She had just visited Gu Qibao, and Gu Qibao herself admitted that she had no relation with Di Mingjue.
Despite the inconsistencies in her face, tone, and Nangong Ran’s words, she still chose to believe, or rather, she chose to numb herself, not wanting to delve further.
Did Di Mingjue see her going to look for Gu Qibao? So was that why he came to say these things to her? Yes, she admits, she wanted to turn a blind eye and not care, but on the other hand, she couldn’t stop wanting to know the truth, so she went to see Gu Qibao.
The truth was about to emerge now, just needing a confirmation. Was this it? No! She didn’t want to leave Di Mingjue, she didn’t want to leave his side, even if he was indifferent or detached, even if he never noticed her, even if he only cared for her routinely, at least he was near, at least everyone knew she was Di Mingjue’s girlfriend.
Bo Chengxin frantically accessed her phone contacts. She had to find out, had to know what had happened between them. What had happened that caused such a change in Di Mingjue.
Di Mingjue has never been without women who liked him, but he has never proposed ending their agreement because of any woman!
