BXBX NOVEL Chapter 873: Waiting for You to Turn Back
Cao Xiangrong lowered his head and remained silent for a long time. After a while, he raised his head and looked at Gu Zhiyan. He smiled faintly. “I’ve never lied to Uncle Gu. I’m telling the truth.”
Gu Zhiyan sighed in her heart.
She understood that Cao Xiangrong was unwilling to explain for Lin Zhi.
Even if he couldn’t get her, he didn’t want to fulfill her and Lin Zhi’s wishes.
But what right did he have?
Back then, he was clearly the one who did not take their marriage seriously. It
was also him…
Gu Zhiyan smiled bitterly and asked in a low voice, “You really… Have you ever lied to my dad?”
Cao Xiangrong was about to speak when Gu Zhiyan sighed faintly again. “You promised him that you would treat me well. You would never let me be sad.”
But in the end, he almost caused her to lose her life.
Cao Xiangrong’s fake smile froze on his face.
“Cao Xiangrong, I don’t want to hate you. Don’t force me to hate you.” Gu
Zhiyan said again.
Cao Xiangrong raised his eyes and stared at Gu Zhiyan.
A moment later, he suddenly laughed. However, that smile was somewhat
bitter.
“Zhiyan, your words hurt me. You never loved me, did you? I did such a thing, but don’t hate me now?”
Gu Zhiyan’s expression froze, and she subconsciously retorted, “No… No, I was also looking forward to marrying you. I was serious.”
She had never been half-hearted.
When she was with Cao Xiangrong, she was sincere.
It was the same now that he was with Lin Zhi.
Cao Xiangrong didn’t say anything. He just looked at Gu Zhiyan silently.
A moment later, he stood up and forced a smile. “Since you’ve said so, I won’t give up easily. I’ll wait for you to turn around.”
With that, he walked away without looking back.
Gu Zhiyan was stunned for a few seconds before she reacted.
She stood up anxiously. ‘You…”
Unfortunately, Cao Xiangrong had already walked far away.
Gu Zhiyan looked at Cao Xiangrong’s back, gritted her teeth, and whispered, “Shameless!”
Why was this person so thick-skinned? As if he didn’t understand human language?
At night Gu Zhiyan called Ji Yuanyuan to complain, “The reason why I said that was because I didn’t want him to think that I wasn’t serious when I was with him. He was the one who let me down, not me. I thought he would feel guilty and might help me. Who knew…”
Ji Yuanyuan laughed. “You didn’t expect him to misunderstand. He thought you still had feelings for him. As long as you and Lin Zhi can’t be together, he still has a chance. Zhiyan, I’m afraid you’ve outsmarted yourself this time.” Gu Zhiyan hit her head angrily. ‘Tm too stupid. I didn’t react in time. I should have chased after him and explained it to him.”
Ji Yuanyuan comforted her. “Alright, alright. It’s not that you’re stupid. Cao Xiangrong is too shameless. I did such a thing, and now I still have the face to beg for your forgiveness!”
“Yuanyuan, you’re smarter. Help me think of a way. What should I do now? My dad raised me alone. I don’t want to do anything to hurt him. If my dad disagrees, I might not be able to be with Lin Zhi with a clear conscience.” Gu Zhiyan whispered.
When she was impulsive, she thought that even if the whole world objected, she would be determined to be with Lin Zhi.
But after calming down, she still couldn t do it.
Lin Zhi was important, but her father was even more important.
“Let me think about it. The situation now is rather complicated…” Ji Yuanyuan sighed.
Gu Zhiyan also sighed.
The two of them were contagious, sighing louder and louder.
After a while, Ji Yuanyuan suddenly had a flash of inspiration. I have an idea. I
just don’t know if it will work.”
“What is it?” Gu Zhiyan’s voice became much louder.
“Then your Lin Zhi will have to take action…” Ji Yuanyuan whispered. After listening to Ji Yuanyuan’s plan, Gu Zhiyan said excitedly, “Shao Xiuqi and Lin Zhi have a good relationship. He should be able to help. Thank you. I te Lin Zhi tomorrow morning.”
After hanging up the phone, Ji Yuanyuan lay on the bed and smiled helplessly as she thought about this.
Not long after, Qin Mucheng came up with Tangtang in one hand. Cheng Shuqin should have given her a bath when they were downstairs.
She changed into the fluffy bunny pajamas.
Qin Mucheng had just placed her on the bed when she crawled into Ji Yuanyuan’s blanket like a caterpillar. “Mommy, tell me a story.” After she finished speaking, she pulled the blanket away and poked her head out. She instructed Qin Mucheng. “Daddy, go to my room. Help me get a storybook.”
-Which one do you want?” Qin Mucheng worked hard without complaint.
-Any book is fine. I’ll listen to it as long as Mommy read it for me.” Tangtang was a bootlicker.
Ji Yuanyuan’s eyes curved into crescents as she smiled. She leaned forward and kissed Tangtang on the cheek. “Mommy likes Tangtang too. As long as it’s Tangtang, I like it everywhere.”
Qin Mucheng had already left.
Tangtang leaned against Ji Yuanyuan’s ear and whispered, “Does Mommy like me more than Daddy? Does Mommy like me the most in the world?”
Ji Yuanyuan made full use of her unique ability to speak nonsense. She nodded without hesitation. “Of course. Mommy likes Tangtang the most. She likes Tangtang more than Daddy.”
With that, the door to the room opened, and Qin Mucheng appeared at the door.
Tangtang was like a little mouse that had stolen food. She hid under the blanket proudly and laughed secretly.
Ji Yuanyuan felt a little guilty.
Her voice was quite soft just now. He probably didn’t hear her, right?
Qin Mucheng’s expression remained the same. He passed the fairy tale book to
Ji Yuanyuan.
Seeing this, Ji Yuanyuan heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that she did not hear him.
Ji Yuanyuan opened the book and began to tell Tangtang a story.
In less than 15 minutes, Tangtang fell into a deep sleep. Qin Mucheng gently carried Tangtang and sent her to her bedroom. Ji Yuanyuan opened the book curiously and continued to read the rest. This was a new fairy tale book that Yang Jingyi had given her before the new year. She hadn’t flipped through it yet.
Fairy tale books nowadays are quite interesting. Even she was a little curious, let alone children.
Ji Yuanyuan was so engrossed in reading that she did not realize that Qin Mucheng had returned.
By the time she realized it, Qin Mucheng had already taken the book from her hand and thrown it on the ground. He had also locked her hands above her head.
“You like Tangtang the most? More than me?”
“Aren’t you childish?” Ji Yuanyuan felt like crying.
He even repeated what she had said without missing a beat.
“She’s a child. We must give her a sense of security and let her know that her parents love her the most. This way, when she grows up, she won’t be deceived by scumbags.” Ji Yuanyuan said righteously.
“Then who do you like the most? Hmm?”
The word “hmm” was slightly hoarse and sexy..
