Chapter 822: The More Love, The More Hate
As he thought about this, Di Mingjue’s cold eyes slowly softened. That’s right, how had he not thought of this before?
A child, if they had a child together, they would never be apart, even if there were conflicts, arguments, or dissatisfaction, there would always be a connection between them.
A connection that could never be severed.
Di Mingjue walked over to his office chair and sat down, the bright red imprint of blood on the back of his hand had dried, still tightly strained and quite ugly.
He just stared off into space, never having realized how sensitive his heart could be.
Gu Qibao was the first woman he had ever loved, he gave her everything, all his firsts, and all his principles and bottom lines.
So, he felt very sad, and on top of that sadness, he also felt incredibly cheap, particularly cheap.
He was a man, how could he be so degraded?
Looking at his office, ruined in disarray, a hint of a cold smile surfaced on his face.
Gu Qibao, didn’t you promise that our love would blossom and bear fruit?
Didn’t you say I was your angel?
The feeling of being dropped from heaven to the ground by the person you love most, Gu Qibao, do you know how much it hurts?
The more I love you, the more it hurts.
Do you know?
You don’t know, because I have never treated you that way.
The unspeakable sadness was because it was his first time, his first everything.
The first sweetness and happiness of love, the first time loving someone, the first time being inseparably entwined with someone every day.
There’s only one first time in life, as precious as it is loved, and as much as it is loved, it is hated.
...
After Di Mingjue left, Gu Qibao sat alone in the breakfast diner appearing particularly forlorn.
She ordered a lot of breakfasts, nearly too many for the large table to hold, and she kept ordering.
Nangong Ran rushed over and was immediately startled, "Damn, Gu Xiaoqi, have you gone mad? Can you even finish all this?"
Gu Qibao looked at Nangong Ran, her eyes very red.
"What’s wrong?" Nangong Ran frowned, quickly sitting next to her to ask, "What happened?"
"I had a fight with Di Mingjue," Gu Qibao said straightforwardly, not avoiding Nangong Ran’s gaze, her originally somewhat red eyes turning redder.
"My goodness." Nangong Ran was even more shocked, instinctively saying, "Impossible! The Duke dotes on you as if you’re a treasure, he still argued with you?"
"It’s true!" Gu Qibao took a deep breath, her whole body suddenly went limp, her big eyes both red and wet.
"Why did you argue?" Nangong Ran hurriedly asked, "Did something happen? Quickly tell me."
"I actually don’t know," Gu Qibao said, wiping her tears, clearly very heartbroken, "My mind is a bit unclear, really."
Nangong Ran furrowed her eyebrows, completely perplexed, "What exactly happened, don’t keep me in suspense, quickly tell me."
Gu Qibao told her the whole story, Nangong Ran blinked and blinked again.
Finally, patting her head, "See, I told you that you were bullying him. The Duke is so pitiful! Wearing pink, making breakfast, and after all that you still yelled at him and bit him, and you even flipped him off, I tell you, Gu Qibao, are you heartless? If I were the Duke, I would absolutely be driven mad by you!"
"I feel like he might go mad." Gu Qibao propped her cheeks with her hands, unable to stop herself from sighing in despair, "He said he would disappear, then he just left me there."
