Chapter 1861: Don’t Be Afraid, You Still Have Me
Pei Ge paused and looked at Tang Xiaoyu’s tear-filled eyes. Her heart ached for this silly girl and her voice became choked. “Xiaoyu, I have Ji Ziming, I have three children, so why would I fight with you for Gu Zhengrong? All these years in America, what have I lived for? You know me, without you, I really don’t know what I would have done.”
“Still, I saw the unsent message on his phone with my own eyes. How is it possible for me to not suspect you guys?”
Tang Xiaoyu’s voice was hoarse. Her hands were tightly gripped by Pei Ge and her eyes became even more uneasy.
“Xiaoyu, you have to believe me. I’ve never had any feelings for Gu Zhengrong since the beginning. I went to America to look for you, but I couldn’t find you. I only saw the letter you left for me at your house. I arranged to meet Gu Zhengrong, and I brought Ji Ziming with me. If you really don’t want to believe me, you can ask Ji Ziming. I believe that you’ll have an answer. It’s just that I don’t trust you as much as I did in the past, but I want you to believe that everything is not what you think it is.”
She nervously explained that she knew how she felt about Gu Zhengrong, but Tang Xiaoyu did not.
If Tang Xiaoyu knew that Ji Ziming had always been in Pei Ge’s heart, she might not have left America alone and gone missing.
“Ge Ge, what should I do? What should I do? Did I hurt you or our relationship?”
Tang Xiaoyu suddenly became timid like a child. The hatred in her eyes earlier was gone, and the pain in her eyes made Pei Ge’s heart ache even more.
“Don’t be afraid; you still have me. I’ll always be by your side. Even if you’ve done something wrong, even if you’ve misunderstood me, I won’t leave you. It’s because you’ve always been by my side at my most painful and indecisive moment. Even if you weren’t by my side at that time, I won’t let go of your hand easily now.”
Pei Ge seemed to be making a promise as she watched Tang Xiaoyu’s eyes soften and the pain and uneasiness in her heart slowly subsided.
“But Ge Ge, what should I do? I seem to have done something wrong to you. I know that you won’t betray me, but I...”
Tang Xiaoyu could not say what was going on.
“Don’t be afraid; I’ll always be by your side. I’ll always be by your side as long as you tell me what’s wrong. Is it because you saw a message that you didn’t manage to send in time on his phone? I want to know what’s wrong with you and why you want to come back.”
Pei Ge looked into Tang Xiaoyu’s eyes as the warmth in her hands slowly returned to her.
“Ge Ge, I do have a reason to return, but I can’t tell you now. Don’t worry, I’ll tell you when the time is right. Don’t worry, I’m fine.”
Tang Xiaoyu’s face was as white as a sheet. Under the moonlight, she looked even paler, as though she had just recovered from a serious illness. Her thin bones made Pei Ge’s heart ache even more.
“Xiaoyu, what’s wrong with you? Are you really sick? You have to tell me. I hope to be by your side at all times in your life.”
“Don’t worry; I don’t have anything else to say. I just have something on, and it’s not suitable for me to tell you right now. When the time is right, I’ll tell you. You really don’t have to worry. Who am I, Tang Xiaoyu? Who would dare to bully me like this? Moreover, I’ve always been the one bullying others all these years. Don’t worry.”
Tang Xiaoyu’s eyes were calm as she looked at Pei Ge with a hint of comfort.
“But, Xiaoyu, I don’t want...”
“Ge Ge, I misunderstood you previously. It’s my fault. Don’t worry. Since I came to the Qu family mansion to look for you today, it means that I really believe you. It’s not that I don’t want to see you, nor is it because I want to take revenge on you. There’s no reason for us sisters to turn against each other.”
Tang Xiaoyu paused for a moment. The night breeze caused her hair to sway slightly as it swayed in front of her eyes.
“Even if you really like Gu Zhengrong, I won’t snatch him from you. I’ve come to terms with it now. In this world, there aren’t many things more important than feelings. Gu Zhengrong likes you, I like Gu Zhengrong, and you like Ji Ziming. Although you and Ji Ziming are the only ones who have come to fruition, I believe that there will be a day when Gu Zhengrong and I will get together. He will confirm my existence. One day, he will kneel down and propose to me.”
Tang Xiaoyu’s eyes were resolute as though she could already see the moment Gu Zhengrong knelt down and proposed to her.
“Xiaoyu, I hope that you can continue to be happy. You know what I want. There’s nothing I really want now. If there is, it would be hoping that the three children can grow up well, as well as seeing you and Gu Zhengrong get together for the rest of your lives. We’ve suffered too much in our lives, but you’re different. You’re born a very lucky woman.”
Pei Ge’s eyes were filled with envy as the warmth in her hand slowly dissipated. If it was all because of this woman, then without Tang Xiaoyu, she would never have become her current self.
“Ge Ge, thank you. I actually misunderstood you. Will you bear a grudge against me?”
Tang Xiaoyu’s voice was gentle as she looked at Pei Ge with even more guilt. If she had not made things clear to Pei Ge today, she might still be thinking about the outcome of this accident and how to choose everything she wanted in her own imaginative world.
It had been so many years. She and Pei Ge had been sisters for so many years. She had liked Gu Zhengrong for so many years and he had rejected her for so many years.
Time was truly a scary thing. It was even more distant than her thoughts, but what could she do? The moment she saw the message that he had not sent, she was still thinking about what had happened between her and Pei Ge.
