Chapter 108 Confession

The story is told from Qin Xuan's perspective, so we can only get a general idea of ​​what happened to Gu Suixing during his years abroad.

But Lu Fengqing was very satisfied.

She should be angry if she really knows every single detail.

Lu Fengqing asked, "Miss Qin, don't you feel resentful?"

"Resentful?" Qin Xuan smiled. "It was just a transaction. He paid me and I did the work. Strictly speaking, I'm not even friends with Mr. Gu. As for feelings... the most precious thing in this world is sincerity, and the least valuable thing is also sincerity. I didn't give anything, so how can I be resentful?"

Lu Fengqing also laughed, "I haven't paid any price, but at least I've enjoyed the material things."

Qin Xuan shook her head. "Greed is not wrong, but greed will inevitably lead to harm. I understand this principle. Over the years, President Gu has given me enough. Rather than relying on others and pursuing unrealistic things, I prefer to strive for what I can firmly grasp."

Her mother is a living example; a man who doesn't love you is less appealing than money.

Qin Xuan frankly said, "Love comes after many things to me; it's not even as important as my upcoming new product launch. But if I had a family background like Ms. Lu's, I would never give up so easily."

Apart from appearance, she didn't think she was inferior to this young lady in any way.

If her parents are loving, if her mother is healthy, and if her father has a stable career, and if there is no dirt on him that could be given to others, she would never give up this marriage easily.

But there are no "what ifs". She personally sacrificed her father's future to give her mother a chance to live.

Qin Xuan gave Lu Fengqing a deep look. "For Miss Lu, isn't love also secondary to many other things?"

Lu Fengqing did not speak.

In her heart, love truly came after many other things.

That's why she agreed to break up with Gu Suixing for the sake of the Lu family and persuaded Gu Suixing to go abroad.

It's not that Gu Suixing isn't important; on the contrary, he is very important.

He almost lost his father because of her, and she couldn't let him lose everything because of her.

Lin Shuyan didn't want Xie Chaowan to abandon her loved ones and leave her hometown to suffer for her sake, so she preferred they never to be together. Similarly, she couldn't bear to see Gu Suixing go from being the pride of heaven, admired by everyone, to a family outcast suppressed by his own relatives.

It wasn't that she was particularly open-minded; it was just that the person was too important to her. So important that as long as he was alright, she didn't care whether she could be with him or not, and she didn't care whether they had love or not.

Qin Xuan asked her out today not so much to tell her about Gu Suixing's years abroad, but rather to explain things to her. She wanted to explain that her relationship with Gu Suixing was not only completely innocent, but they weren't even that close, and that she wouldn't resort to underhanded tactics out of resentment.

Qin Xuan was clever. She didn't constantly explain for Gu Suixing, nor did she avoid the fact that she was interested in Gu Suixing. Instead, she chose to tell her about her past by revealing her own scars. This approach was more convincing than those scheming female supporting characters in romance novels who would say things like, "We're nothing, don't misunderstand," or "We're just friends, he likes you."

To be fair, Qin Xuan is a friend worth getting to know better.

Unfortunately, she wouldn't befriend any woman who was interested in Gu Suixing.

As she came out of the restaurant, Lu Fengqing immediately spotted the man leaning against the car.

As if sensing her gaze, the man put down his phone and looked up at her.

Qin Xuan glanced at the two of them, and wisely left without disturbing them.

She tried to win them over and even attempted to sow discord, but to no avail.

She has her own pride, and she won't do things that would annoy others. Today's ending only proves that what is not meant to be hers will never be hers.

...

After Qin Xuan left, Lu Fengqing also wanted to pretend she hadn't seen anyone and leave directly, but Gu Suixing strode over and blocked her way.

"She won't answer the phone, and she doesn't want to see me anymore?" She promised him when she just returned from F country that she would call him if she went on a long trip. And what happened? She won't even answer his calls now, let alone call him.

It seems that women's words can be deceiving.

Lu Fengqing deliberately frowned, "What do you want to see me for?"

Gu Suixing: "What do you want to do?"

Lu Fengqing ignored him and tried to walk past him.

My wrist was suddenly grabbed.

Lu Fengqing paused, turned around expressionlessly, and slowly withdrew her hand from Gu Suixing's palm. "Mr. Gu, men and women should not touch each other."

Gu Suixing's gaze fell on her rosy lips, and he raised an eyebrow. "Didn't we already kiss?"

“…” Lu Fengqing said, “That’s in the past. From now on, only my boyfriend can hold my hand.”

Gu Suixing was so angry he laughed. Not to mention how much money she had spent on him in the past two months, she had hugged, kissed, touched, and slept with him. He had lost everything, and in the end, he didn't even have a boyfriend.

Gu Suixing took Lu Fengqing's hand again, pulled her to his car without saying a word, opened the passenger door, took out a bouquet of bright red roses and stuffed them into her arms.

He lowered his head, his deep, captivating eyes fixed on her, and asked in a low voice, "Miss Lu, I was wrong just now. I'd like to invite you to dinner to make amends, is that alright?"

"..."

Lu Fengqing's cheeks flushed.

Of course.

He's really something else.

Lu Fengqing's nose was filled with the fragrance of roses. She nodded, trying to remain calm, "Okay."

She hadn't eaten anything at the tea restaurant except for tea. It was well past lunchtime but not yet dinnertime, so afternoon tea was a perfect opportunity.

Gu Suixing took Lu Fengqing to a rooftop restaurant that had just opened.

After the waiter left, Gu Suixing asked with a half-smile, "Have you had enough fun?"

Lu Fengqing: "I've had enough fun in J City. Aunt Wan and I have made plans to go somewhere else next time."

Gu Suixing: "What about me?"

Lu Fengqing replied matter-of-factly, "You go to work to earn money."

Gu Suixing: "..."

He's been thoroughly used as a tool.

Seeing that Gu Suixing remained silent, Lu Fengqing asked casually, "Aren't you going to ask me what Miss Qin said to me?"

Gu Suixing, being upright and fearless, was not fooled. "What could she possibly say to you?"

Lu Fengqing: "She said she likes you."

Gu Suixing chuckled, "What, do you have a peculiar habit of listening to other people confess their love to me?"

Lu Fengqing: "..."

Get out!

Who has such a strange fetish!

Gu Suixing looked at her, "And what about you?"

Lu Fengqing was confused. "What about me?"

Gu Suixing: "Confess."

Lu Fengqing: "..."

Why confess? Why make her say "I like you" or "I love you" to him?

It would be better to just kill her.

Lu Fengqing quickly found a solution: "Shouldn't the man be the one to speak first in this kind of situation?"

The scoundrel seemed to think she was right and remained silent.

Their eyes met.

Lu Fengqing stared at him without blinking.

The young master opened and closed his thin lips repeatedly, but couldn't utter a single word for a long time.

Lu Fengqing's gaze instantly sharpened. "Is it so difficult to say?"

Gu Suixing closed his eyes, thinking to himself that he had been tricked after all.

Lu Fengqing picked up the bouquet of flowers from the chair next to her, placed it on the table, and began to nitpick: "Others send flowers and usually slip a note inside, or at least a couple of sweet words. What do you think this is, doing a good deed without expecting anything in return or leaving a name?"

Gu Suixing: "..."

Lu Fengqing became angrier as she spoke, "Apart from saying a few nice words when we get into bed, she doesn't say a single nice word when we get out of bed. Even four-and-a-half-year-old Rui Rui is better at coaxing people than you are."

Gu Suixing: "…………"
