Chapter 99 Towards a Better Future
"Why?"
Rong Zhoubai never thought that he would be rejected by Qu Ge.
There was a hint of panic in his eyes, and the smile on his face froze.
Of course, he had no doubt about her feelings for him.
He thought about it and attributed her refusal to his own impatience.
"Sorry, was I too sudden? So..."
"It's not your problem, it's my own fault."
Qu Ge stretched out his hand, wanting him to stand up first.
Rong Zhoubai frowned in frustration and could only put away the rejected ring for the time being.
Seeing the disappointment in his eyes, Qu Ge hesitated and said, "Actually, I've already decided to study abroad in Europe."
"Going to Europe?"
"Well, I just received the acceptance letter this morning."
Qu Ge stood up, took out the documents in her bag and placed them in front of Rong Zhoubai.
During this period, she took care of him in the hospital every day, while also actively preparing for the entrance examination.
This morning, the admission letter was delivered by courier.
She had planned to find a suitable opportunity to have a good talk with Rong Zhoubai about this matter.
Unexpectedly, he took the lead and proposed to her.
Qu Ge was feeling uneasy.
She gently held Rong Zhoubai's hand and told him her thoughts seriously.
"In the past few months, I haven't been able to focus on my studies because I've been dealing with the Qiao family. Now that everything is over, I still want to finish my studies."
"When my mother was still alive, she always told me that people living in this world must rely on themselves and cannot rely on anyone else."
"I want to continue studying because I hope to pursue my dreams and realize my own value in the future. I don't want to be stuck by your side forever, just being a 'Miss Zhi' in name only."
"Can you... understand me?"
Qu Ge was cautious when speaking.
She knew that seven years ago, Xuan Ni used the pursuit of her dreams as an excuse to abandon Rong Zhoubai and go to Europe alone.
Qu Ge was not sure whether Rong Zhoubai still cared about this matter.
She also didn't know how to make him believe that she was different from Xuan Ni.
At least, she knew very well that she would never change her mind.
Qu Ge cherishes the relationship between him and Rong Zhoubai and does not want to argue with him because of this matter.
But she has already made the decision to study abroad.
She would never give up her future for love.
She was already in a dilemma, and now Rong Zhoubai suddenly proposed to her, leaving her at a loss...
She waited anxiously for his answer, even preparing herself for his anger.
Who knew...
Rong Zhoubai frowned as if relieved of a heavy burden.
“So that’s why.”
"It scared me. I thought it was because the noodles I made were so bad."
Rong Zhoubai used a joke to subtly resolve the awkwardness between the two.
He gently stroked Qu Ge's hair and whispered, "No matter what choice you make, I will support you unconditionally."
"Really? Aren't you mad at me for not discussing this with you in advance?"
"This is your own life. You don't need to discuss it with anyone. Just move forward in the direction you think is right. I will always be by your side."
Rong Zhoubai said these words without thinking.
For a moment, Qu Ge's eyes couldn't help but turn red.
In the past three years of her relationship with Qiao Xuan, she had long been accustomed to Qiao Xuan's consent for everything.
If something doesn't go his way, there will be endless quarrels and cold violence.
This abnormal relationship made her, who was just beginning to fall in love, believe that all couples in the world restricted and entangled each other...
It wasn't until she met the man in front of her that she realized——
It turns out that a good relationship never requires setting limits for either party.
They don't even need to speak, they can walk side by side tacitly towards a better future.
Two people who truly love each other should become each other's fertile soil, allowing the other person to bloom more brilliantly...
…
Not long after, Qu Ge set out alone for Europe.
When the plane landed, Li Siqi was already waiting at the airport.
"Little Cricket!!!"
Hearing this long-lost loud voice, Qu Ge almost shed tears.
In the busy airport, the two girls ran towards each other at the same time, hugged each other tightly, and neither of them wanted to let go first.
Seeing that Li Siqi was able to jump and dance, and her body had recovered to be the same as before, Qu Ge finally felt relieved.
She choked up a little: "Siqi, you...how are you? There are no scars on your body, right?"
Lai Siqi is a model who makes a living by her face and figure. She has always attached great importance to her appearance.
Qu Ge was always worried that if she got scars on her body, she would never be able to stand on the catwalk again...
Then she will never be able to forgive herself in her life.
Seeing her face full of worry, Li Siqi smiled and pinched the tip of her nose.
"Don't worry, I'm fine!"
She turned in a circle.
The legs under the hot short skirt are still as slender and straight as two pieces of ivory carved from fresh snow, dazzlingly white.
Qu Ge frowned with relief.
She looked around as if looking for someone.
Li Siqi raised an eyebrow: "What's wrong? Is there anyone coming to pick you up?"
"No, you came here alone? Where's Qin Shuzhi?"
"What you're asking...why do I have to be with him?" Li Siqi curled her lips.
Qu Ge was curious: "Did you two have a fight?"
"No."
"What's going on?"
"He and I have nothing to do with each other, so there's no need to be together every day..."
"ah?"
Qu Ge was stunned for a moment, frowned and asked her: "What do you mean? Aren't you two..."
"We broke up a long time ago. Didn't I tell you when I returned to Jiangzhou City from Europe?"
"I thought you were just having a quarrel. After all, during the time you were injured and unconscious, he cared for you more than anyone else. Knowing that you were coming to Europe for recuperation, he even gave up the Qin Group, a huge family business, and insisted on staying with you. How could you bear to leave such a loving man?"
Looking back, Li Siqi was in a coma in the hospital, and Qin Shuzhi stayed by her side every day in the hospital, tormenting himself to the point that he was almost unrecognizable.
Even Qu Ge was moved by this thoughtfulness.
I thought that now that Li Siqi had woken up, the two lovers could finally be together happily.
Who would have thought...
"He wanted to accompany me on his own initiative. I didn't force him to do this. Besides, he owes me this."
Li Siqi lowered her eyes, with a hint of grievance in her eyes.
The word "owe" makes people speechless.
Qu Ge understood Li Siqi. With her carefree personality, she could never keep secrets.
If it was something she couldn't even open her mouth about, how heavy it must have been...
Obviously, there is an extremely sad and tortuous story between her and Qin Shuzhi.
Matters of the heart cannot be forced.
Since Li Siqi didn't say anything, Qu Ge didn't ask any more questions.
The two pushed the luggage cart towards the parking lot.
Just as he was about to get on the bus, Qu Ge suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure...
