Chapter 2308 Don’t Want to Be a Substitute

"This assumption is not valid." Ling Ying said.

"Before your brother found you, he certainly didn't think you were still alive. Tell me, if Qiao Qingze was still alive, would you be with him?"

Ling Ying said helplessly: "Why do you like to torture other people's souls so much?"

"Who told you to fall in love with someone else? I feel sad for you, senior."

"Haven't you always advised me to find a partner and get over it as soon as possible?"

The girl sighed, "I dreamed of my senior last night. He was sitting on a chair outside my little cafe. It was raining, and he was soaking wet and looked very sad. I went over to him and asked him why he didn't come into the shop and sit down. He said he was waiting for you. I woke up all of a sudden in a cold sweat. I was thinking, maybe my senior knew you were with someone else and was sad."

Ling Ying smiled bitterly and didn't respond to this. Then she touched her pocket and pulled her hand out: "Oh yes, I quit smoking."

She took a deep breath, looked out the window, and said jokingly, "Next time you dream of him, tell him that if he comes back to life, I will marry him immediately."

As soon as she finished speaking, the girl touched her arm and asked her to look at Ah Fei.

Ling Ying turned around and saw Ah Fei.

The two looked at each other. The sadness in Ling Ying's eyes had not completely disappeared, and then it was covered with a layer of panic.

"Why are you here..." Ling Ying seemed very surprised and walked towards him with a smile.

Ah Fei said that he finished work early, so he came to have lunch with her, and asked her if she had finished rehearsal.

Ling Ying said it was over and she was planning to go eat.

Afterwards, Ling Ying introduced her friend to A Fei. She was her high school classmate who was also in the band. Her name was Lily.

After saying hello to her friends, Ah Fei left the building where the rehearsal room was located with her and drove to a Chinese restaurant.

Along the way, neither of them mentioned what had just happened in the corridor, as if Ah Fei had never heard her say, "If he can survive, I will marry him immediately."

Ah Fei ordered the dishes and asked Ling Ying what she wanted to eat. She asked Ah Fei to take care of it.

So there were four dishes, one soup, and a bottle of liquor.

It was the weekend, and Ah Fei was taking the afternoon off. Ling Ying knew this, so when the wine came, she wanted to pour it for Ah Fei, but he blocked the rim of the glass with his hand and said, "I still have to work in the afternoon, so I won't drink."

"Isn't it afternoon break?"

Ah Fei was silent for two seconds. "Well, I was supposed to be resting, but I had to make a last-minute adjustment and go to North City on a business trip."

"When will you be back?"

"Not necessarily," Ah Fei picked up the chopsticks and reminded her: "Eat quickly."

In fact, he doesn't need to go on the business trip, he can just arrange his subordinates to go.

But he really wants to go now.

The two of them ate in silence. When they were almost done, Ling Ying asked tentatively, "Did you hear what Lily and I said just now?"

Ah Fei put down his chopsticks and looked into her eyes.

"Yeah, I heard it."

"Don't take it to heart, I just said it, I didn't mean it seriously."

Ah Fei smiled and said, "I know, it's useless for you to take it seriously. After all, he won't survive."

"you……"

His tone obviously made Ling Ying feel uncomfortable, but she suppressed her dissatisfaction and said, "You are still angry."

"I'm just a little envious of him."

Ling Ying lowered his eyes and put his hands under the table, like a child who had done something wrong: "I really was just saying that..."

"Then if, as long as you marry him, he can come back to life, will you marry him?"

Ling Ying raised her eyes and looked at him in disbelief, "Why do you ask such a meaningless question?"

"For me, yes." Ah Fei wiped his mouth, folded the tissue and placed it on the table, then asked again seriously, "What would you do?"

Ling Ying frowned and looked at him. After a moment, he said, "I refuse to answer."

Ah Fei nodded. He already knew her answer.

She would, would marry Joe.

In fact, this question is not difficult, because the assumption is impossible. She can answer in any way she wants. She can even cheat and say that she will marry him first, deceive God, resurrect him, and then divorce him.

If Ling Ying really wanted to be with her current boyfriend and wanted Qiao Qingze to be resurrected, she could have said many things that would make A Fei feel comfortable and bring Qiao Qingze back to life.

It's all fantasy anyway, it won't really happen.

But she obviously didn't think so much, because the answer in her heart was certain, as long as Qiao Qingze survived, she would definitely marry him.

And Ah Fei can never defeat the dead man.

Ling Ying reached out and shook Ah Fei's hand.

Her fingers were cold, and her eyes were filled with guilt. Ah Fei held her hand and gently pinched the skin on the back of her hand. "While I'm away on business, let's both calm down. I'll think about it carefully, and you should think about it too."

"What are you thinking about?"

"Think about it, do you still want to be together?"

She was stunned. "But you promised me three months... and my parents..."

"I'll explain to them. They love you very much and will understand." Ah Fei paused. "As for our agreement, if you really can't accept me completely, there's no need for us to waste our time and feelings. I also hope to find a girl who can love me wholeheartedly. I don't want her to always think about someone else when she's with me."

He knew his words were a bit cold and heartless, but after hearing what she had just said to her friend, he was sad and angry.

Although he felt sorry for her experience and wanted to heal her and help her get over her pain, he underestimated his possessiveness and was unwilling to be a substitute for anyone.

"So are we breaking up?" Her eyes were a little red.

"No, I'm just taking advantage of my business trip for a few days so we can calm down and think about it. Otherwise, if I were to be with you every day, I wouldn't be willing to let you go no matter what."

Ling Ying pursed her lips and said, "I quite like being with you."

Ah Fei looked at her deeply. He thought that with Ling Ying's carefree personality, she would just say that she didn't want to break up.

If she really said that, Ah Fei would probably agree...

But Ling Ying didn't play tricks on him like she usually did: "But since you said so, I respect your decision. When you come back from your business trip, we will continue to talk."

Then she pulled her hand away.

Ah Fei's hands felt empty and his heart ached.

It seemed like he had already started to regret it before they even broke up, but reason told him to calm down and think about it carefully for two days.

If she still can't bear to let go at that time, he will no longer mind that she has Qiao Qingze in her heart, and he will force himself to accept this fact.

That afternoon, A Fei simply packed his luggage and went out.

Ling Ying watched the door close in front of her and Ah Fei's figure disappeared behind the door.

Her heart suddenly felt empty, as if she had lost him.

She immediately opened the security door and chased after him. Ah Fei was waiting for the elevator and saw her running out and asked, "What's wrong?"
