Chapter 1949: Is My Time Not Precious?
“Xiaoyu, I have something to tell you.”
Gu Zhengrong looked behind Tang Xiaoyu. The auntie was standing not far away, watching the two of them. She seemed to be thinking about Tang Xiaoyu’s safety at all times. It was as if if if Gu Zhengrong let Tang Xiaoyu down, this auntie would immediately rush over to protect her.
“Xiaoyu...”
Gu Zhengrong called Tang Xiaoyu’s name but could not hear her. Just as he thought that she was going to leave after seeing him, Tang Xiaoyu said, “Gu Zhengrong, it’s already so late. Why are you looking for me? If there’s anything, you’d better say it quickly. Mr Li will be unhappy if I go back too late.”
Tang Xiaoyu’s voice was cold and her gaze on Gu Zhengrong became even colder.
“I know. I just came to ask if—”
Only then did Gu Zhengrong realize that he could not bring himself to say it.
“What’s wrong? Do you need me to continue asking you questions? Your time is precious, but is my time not precious? You better...”
Tang Xiaoyu recalled that she had once stayed by Gu Zhengrong’s side and never asked for anything in return, but now, it seemed that time was a good thing.
Time could not solve the problem but the problem had to be solved in time. Tang Xiaoyu knew that her fate with Gu Zhengrong was not as easily severed as she thought. Instead, it was becoming clearer and clearer.’
“I... Xiaoyu, can we have a good chat? I really have something to discuss with you.”
Gu Zhengrong’s eyes turned aggrieved as he looked into Tang Xiaoyu’s eyes. He wanted to dig out his heart for her to see.
“The fact that I’m willing to come out and meet you is enough to prove that I wanted to hear what you had to say. However, it seems like you’re not as prepared as I thought. Since that’s the case, I might as well go back. Anyway, you’re not prepared to tell me what you wanted to tell me.”
Tang Xiaoyu rolled her eyes at him and turned to walk into the house. However, Gu Zhengrong grabbed her arm.
“Xiaoyu, don’t leave please?”
Gu Zhengrong’s voice was pleading and filled with his heartache. Seeing the person he loved being with an old man who was much older than him in front of him, his heart ached so much that he could not breathe. Just one more look at Tang Xiaoyu and he could not stop his fantasies. Thinking of how Tang Xiaoyu and Mr Li were going to live under the same roof and even have a child together, he felt that he was even more insensible.
He had left such a good woman and yet he had to buy himself a hangover in such a long time.
“Don’t leave? Gu Zhengrong, show some respect. Is it because of me or you? Look at where you are right now. Look at what you’re doing to me. Look carefully. It’s not because of me but because of yourself. Did you force me away back then? Did you think that I’m never worthy of you? Is Pei Ge the only woman in your eyes?”
Tang Xiaoyu ranted about all her sufferings. As long as Gu Zhengrong had her in his heart, she would definitely change her image in his heart. As long as it was what she wanted, he would not stop her now.
“Xiaoyu, it’s my fault. It’s my fault, but can you give me a chance to salvage the situation? I know it was all my fault. I know everything. Xiaoyu, can you...”
“No, you can’t. I can tell you right now that I, Tang Xiaoyu, took a fancy to you back then. It’s my fault for being blind. You have to understand that my feelings for you are already in the past. You have to understand that the person I’ve taken a fancy to is definitely not like me right now.”
Tang Xiaoyu’s voice was cold as she looked at Gu Zhengrong. It was as if all her coldness was on this man. One must know that she was someone who could not bear to leave him back then.
Anyone but Tang Xiaoyu could betray Gu Zhengrong. However, Tang Xiaoyu became the first to give up on him now.
“Is it impossible between us? I really know my problem now. You have to believe me. I’m different from before, so you...”
“So I have to believe you? That’s why I want the words? Are you going to be with me when you come back to find me? You’re too naive.”
Tang Xiaoyu continued with a contemptuous smile. “You’re really young. I didn’t know that you had such a side to you. Perhaps, it’s because I didn’t understand you back then, or perhaps it’s because I didn’t understand you at all. I only know your preferences. It’s all about how you look down on me. It’s all about how you don’t bother showing me.”
“It’s not like that, Xiaoyu. It’s not like that. I admit that I was in the wrong back then. It’s my fault that you were heartbroken. It’s also my fault that I shouldn’t have made you so sad, but you...”
“Gu Zhengrong, why are you sticking to me? I’ve already said that it’s impossible between us. You really don’t have to do this. I, Tang Xiaoyu, don’t rely on any man right now, but I really have to thank Mr Li. If it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t even know where I would be fighting to live right now.”
Tang Xiaoyu’s lips curled into a smile as she looked at Gu Zhengrong’s eyes, which were glistening with tears. This man seemed to have a more unfathomable aura than before.
“Xiaoyu, I’m sorry!”
Gu Zhengrong finally said these three words. Finally, in front of this woman, he lowered his head to look at the mistakes he had made in the past, wondering if there would be a day when he could bring Tang Xiaoyu away from this place to another place where no one knew them.
However, he was still too young. Standing before him, Tang Xiaoyu’s voice was terrifyingly cold.
“Gu Zhengrong, you’d better let go of your hand. Otherwise, I’ll call for help. Don’t forget that if you have any scandals with me, you won’t be able to clean yourself up so easily.”
Tang Xiaoyu’s eyes were cold, making Gu Zhengrong’s heart turn cold. This woman seemed to be getting more and more unpredictable.
