Hearing the door close, tears welled up in her eyes.
"Ziqing." Lu Linghong walked towards her, but when he was still two steps away, Su Ziqing called out to him, "I want to be alone for a while."
Su Ziqing sniffed. "Gong Chengjue, why can you break up and find someone new, but she can't?"
Is it true that only officials are allowed to set fires, but ordinary people are forbidden to light lamps?
Does this logic hold water?
However, marriage with Lu Linghong was completely out of the question. Although she had decided to do so after meeting the Lu family, she decided not to lie to them and didn't want to cause Lu Linghong to fall out with his good family because of her.
Su Ziqing was extremely envious of the Lu family's atmosphere. If her family were to fall apart because of her and the child in her womb that had nothing to do with Lu Linghong, she would feel really guilty.
Moreover, Gong Chengjue has now made such a harsh statement, threatening to stop her by force... What does he want to do? Based on her understanding of him, he won't do anything to her, but he will do something to Lu Linghong.
"Bastard, bastard!" Su Ziqing wiped away her tears. Was he forcing her to abort the child?!
Oh.
Lu Linghong sat on the sofa, silent and utterly unmoved. He was utterly unafraid of Gong Chengjue's harsh words; he could handle any objections from his family, but…
He couldn't change Su Ziqing's decision.
Perhaps this is the biggest difference between him and Gong Chengjue. Gong Chengjue... he can change Su Ziqing's decision.
He could only wait for Su Ziqing to make a decision.
Why resort to force to stop them? What does Gong Chengjue want to do? If they were to get married, would he ask his uncle to send troops?
Heh...maybe it's really possible, after all, it only takes one sentence.
However, he was quite curious to see if Gong Chengjue would dare to do so! Unfortunately, Ziqing had already backed down and did not want to get married.
Su Ziqing stood on the balcony for about half an hour in the wind before turning around and walking back, only to see Lu Linghong sitting there with his phone in his hand.
"Senior brother? You didn't leave?" She said she wanted to be alone for a while, and then she didn't hear his voice again, so she thought he had already left.
Lu Linghong typed on his phone, looked up at her, and said, "We haven't finished talking yet."
If Gong Chengjue hadn't suddenly appeared, they probably would have finished their conversation by now.
"Senior brother..." What should we talk about? Marriage? No, she had already decided that she couldn't get married.
She herself didn't have anything special, but she hoped that the people she cared about could have them.
She lacked the warmth of a family. Lu Linghong was already lucky to be born into such a wealthy family. How could she let him lose such warmth because of her?
Lu Linghong looked at her very seriously, "Don't worry about what Gong Chengjue said."
She shook her head. "You know, it's not because of what he said." But it is indeed because of what he said.
Lu Linghong frowned, "You've seen that my parents like you a lot. My sister just misunderstood..."
"Is it a misunderstanding? She pointed out the key point right away: Senior brother, this child isn't yours." Su Ziqing looked at her, her serious face showing her unwillingness to change the situation. "Thank you for your suggestion, but I can't be so selfish."
"What if I were as selfish as you?" Lu Linghong took a deep breath and looked at her with the same serious expression.
Su Ziqing was slightly taken aback, "Senior brother..."
"I like you, Ziqing." He confessed earnestly, and after seeing the surprise in Su Ziqing's eyes, he gave a bitter smile. "The thing I regret most now is saying something about being a single person in front of you."
He blocked his own path.
Now that I'm contradicting myself, it's really satisfying.
The window paper was finally opened, and Su Ziqing lowered her head.
A deathly silence filled the air. No one spoke first. Time passed slowly, and Su Ziqing finally spoke, "You will always be my senior brother."
That kind of response was tantamount to giving someone a "friend card," and Lu Linghong slightly tugged at the corner of his mouth. "Am I that bad?"
“We missed each other.” Su Ziqing looked up and met his gaze, then smiled. “Thank you for liking me. I always thought you looked down on my personality.”
"What nonsense are you talking about, you look like this..."
"Do you remember what you used to say about me?" Su Ziqing didn't want to ruin their relationship by confessing her feelings, so she said casually, "She's alright looking, but not gentle at all, and she doesn't hold back when she gets physical..."
Lu Linghong denied it, saying, "I did not say those things."
He used to be a bit arrogant and afraid that Su Ziqing would fall for him, so he made it clear beforehand that he was a believer in being single.
In fact, he used to be a staunch advocate of singlehood.
Now we've kicked a hornet's nest, and it was a nest we set ourselves. It's ironic.
"I'm sorry." Su Ziqing smiled helplessly. "I haven't gotten over the heartbreak yet." She was still very sad about being dumped.
She was very strong.
Lu Linghong wanted to say something more, but she shook her head, "I'll figure out how to handle this myself. Don't interfere."
To prevent Gong Chengjue from actually harming innocent people, since he is clearly the scumbag, yet he still dares to make such harsh remarks!
But he does have that kind of ability.
“Oh, Senior Brother Feng said that if you don’t want to be with me, you can consider marrying him.” Lu Linghong handed his phone to Su Ziqing.
He had already told Feng Xixuan about it.
Su Ziqing looked at him, then shook her head fiercely, "NO."
Are you kidding me? Marrying Feng Xixuan? I'd never even consider it, it's terrifying.
"Tell him yourself." Lu Linghong smiled helplessly.
Su Ziqing's phone rang, just as expected.
Seeing Feng Xixuan's call, Su Ziqing felt a headache coming on. She looked at Lu Linghong pleadingly.
"Take it."
Su Ziqing answered the phone and heard Feng Xixuan say, "Oh, so Gong Chengjue won't let you marry Ling Hong?"
Su Ziqing: "..." This shouldn't be said like this, right?
"Senior brother, about this matter..."
"Is that so?" Feng Xixuan sneered. He wasn't in the capital, and Gong Chengjue was trying to bully Su Ziqing again.
"This suggestion was selfish to begin with, and I've already given it up." Su Ziqing glanced at Lu Linghong. "My senior brother is such a good person, I can't hold him back."
If you are unjustly labeled as a second-time bride, it will actually be somewhat of an obstacle for you to find a partner again in the future.
"Then you're just wasting my time," Feng Xixuan said calmly.
"...Senior brother, don't joke like that." Even if she had a hundred lives, she wouldn't dare to become Feng Xixuan's wife, okay?
Putting aside all those messy relationships, just look at Feng Xixuan himself. If she became his wife, even if only in name, wouldn't she be controlled to death?
He's way scarier!
Besides, he has such an important woman in his heart, wouldn't people mind?
I'd rather not.
