Chapter 702 Gong Lian Slaps Wen Qingyi
She kept pushing his boundaries! Who can she blame?
Isn't it all her own fault?
"When did I betray you?" Wen Qingyi was baffled by his sudden accusation: "Since I've been with you, have I ever done anything improper? What gives you the right to slander my innocence like this?"
Apart from the kissing photo incident, which she did while drunk, she has never done anything out of line!
Why should he pin all the blame on her?
Doesn't he bear any responsibility at all?
clean?
These were the two most ridiculous words Gong Lian had ever heard: "Wen Qingyi, what innocence do you have to speak of? All your innocence vanished the moment you met Bo Jinyan!"
"Don't try to lecture me like you're the rightful wife! Don't forget, we're not married yet! As long as you're not my wife, I have the right to break off the engagement! So what gives you the right to interfere with my freedom of choice in matters of the heart?"
Who he liked or disliked had become irrelevant the moment she confessed her feelings to Bo Jinyan.
"Just based on your words, I know you only approached Sang Ruo to get revenge on me, not because you genuinely like her... Ah!"
Wen Qingyi had barely begun to speak when Gong Lian slapped her hard across the face!
The blow caused Wen Qingyi's face to turn slightly to the side, and he even staggered, almost falling to the ground.
If Wen Qingyi hadn't been holding onto the table next to her, she might have been knocked to the ground by now.
Wen Qingyi covered her aching cheek, looking incredulous, and said, "Gong Lian, you hit me..."
He had always been very patient with her, no matter what mistakes she made, and had never hit her.
Now, however, he hit Sang Ruo for her sake, and right in front of her...
Does he really not love her anymore?
"Yes, I'm going to beat your stinking teeth and rotten mouth! Let's see if you dare to talk nonsense again!" Gong Lian said, unable to bear it any longer. "Wen Qingyi, you're blaming heaven, earth, and society here, why don't you ever think about your own reasons?"
"If you're truly good enough, if you're genuinely sincere towards me, how could I possibly give you up? I can only say that the lies told by a fickle person will eventually be exposed! You can't hide it forever! Don't always treat others like fools!"
He might have been fooled by her at first, because he still loved her deeply back then.
After all, she was the white moonlight he had loved for many years. The fact that the white moonlight could be with him was a great joy in itself. He was so happy that he lost his mind, until later he realized that something was wrong with her.
Unfortunately, it was too late by then.
Upon hearing this, tears welled up in Wen Qingyi's eyes and rolled down her cheeks: "Gong Lian, you'll regret treating me like this sooner or later! I'll go back and tell my parents that it won't be that easy for you to break off our engagement! Our Wen family isn't someone to be trifled with!"
After leaving those words, Wen Qingyi ran away from the restaurant's private room in tears.
Gong Lian watched her departing figure, his chest heaving with anger, clearly quite furious.
Seeing this, Sang Ruo poured him a cup of hot tea: "Alright, Gong Lian, don't be so unreasonable. Look at how Wen Qingyi cried because of you, you can tell she must be very sad."
Did she watch a good show?
She had always thought that Wen Qingyi was just using Gong Lian to stay by A Yan's side, but now it seems that the two of them might have developed feelings for each other during their daily interactions.
Gong Lian has always deeply loved Wen Qingyi, after all, she has been his white moonlight for many years, and the power of a white moonlight is still very strong.
However, she never expected that Gong Lian would one day give up on the white moonlight in his heart.
And it was all because of her.
"What does she have to be sad about?" Gong Lian took a sip of the hot tea she poured for him, his tone still full of resentment: "I just set her free because I didn't want to be used by her anymore, and she's in such a hurry? Why didn't she do this sooner?"
Is it too late to realize that you're only now trying to win him back?
If she had realized this sooner, given up on Bo Jinyan sooner, and lived a good life with him, he wouldn't have ended up like this.
It was all her own fault; how could she blame him?
Sang Ruo suppressed a laugh, recalling Wen Qingyi's breakdown just now, and found it somewhat amusing: "Didn't you realize that this wasn't panic, but rather a kind of breakdown stemming from you falling in love with her enemy? Think about why she would break down because of this?"
She felt that Wen Qingyi might not like Bo Jinyan that much now; instead, Ayan had become the obsession in her heart that she could not have.
On the contrary, it was Gong Lian who was truly overlooked by Wen Qingyi.
That's why she was so devastated today.
Wen Qingyi's feelings for Bo Jinyan may have been gradually worn away by the passage of time, and she has turned her affections to Gong Lian instead.
Ironically, Gong Lian had already truly given up by this point, while she had only just begun to fall in love...
These two are characterized by a mismatch; their relationship is never equal.
This left even she, a mere spectator, somewhat speechless.
"I don't care why she broke down. Her breakdown is her business, it has nothing to do with me." Gong Lian no longer cares about the past: "The person I truly care about now is you, and I absolutely will not allow Wen Qingyi to hurt you like this!"
The precious girl he once cherished and protected is now discarded like trash; the deep affection he once had is gone.
Now, his gaze is fixed solely on Sang Ruo.
Sang Ruo thought the two of them were quite similar: "Really? Then you fell in love with me really quickly."
"Gong Lian, don't you really think that your so-called liking for me is just an urgent need to find some kind of comfort in me? Because you were disappointed with Wen Qingyi, you want to get the love you've always wanted but couldn't get from me."
To put it bluntly, Gong Lian is a bit lacking in affection.
He had loved Wen Qingyi for so many years, his love unwavering, but now he was defeated by Wen Qingyi's unrequited love, which is quite regrettable.
But even so, it doesn't mean she thinks his way of pursuing her is the right thing to do.
Like Wen Qingyi, he was obsessed with what he wanted but could not have.
Once they get that thing, they quickly become addicted and insatiable, and then they rush to find the next thing they want even more.
Isn't that exactly how she is now?
"No! I truly love you!" Gong Lian denied hastily. "Sang Ruo, I'm definitely not looking for comfort like you said! You're a woman I've always admired, it's just that I didn't choose to pursue you before. Don't misunderstand me."
He had no intention of seeking solace in her.
