Gu Xiwan calmed down for a while before finding her voice.
"The villa we live in now is high-end and luxurious enough. I am very satisfied to have such a home. Why do you go to such trouble to buy another villa for me?"
Staring at her for a moment, Chu Lingjue's voice was as light as the breeze and as warm as the sun.
"Because you insist on moving out of 'Emperor Residence', I don't want to forcefully stop you. I hope that after you move out of 'Emperor Residence' and live in this villa with me, you will give up the idea of renting a house outside. It also satisfies my selfish desire not to be separated from you."
"So that's it..."
Gu Xiwan took a deep breath, with tears in her eyes and a smile on her lips.
"Then, I'm sorry, Chu Lingjue, I may disappoint you. I don't want this villa and this diamond ring. I will continue to look for a house outside. Once I find a house, I will move out immediately."
He simply took off the ring and stuffed the ring and the bunch of keys into Chu Lingjue's pocket.
Then, he turned around and left.
Chu Lingjue stared at Gu Xiwan's cold and arrogant figure. The moment she took off the ring from her finger, he felt as if something in his heart fell straight from the sky into the abyss and was shattered into pieces.
Seeing that Gu Xiwan had already walked out of the door of the living room, Chu Lingjue was able to open his white teeth and thin lips and said in despair,
"Have I not done enough for you? What should I do before you are willing to give up your heart to me?"
Gu Xiwan stopped, turned her back to Chu Lingjue, and shed tears.
"Even if you don't mention that you were so kind to me in the past, today, you bought the 'Yipitang' for me; after you learned about the relationship between Hanhan and me, you let go without knowing that your sister had wronged Hanhan. Hanhan; And this villa, this diamond ring...
Chu Lingjue, you have done enough for me, enough for me to be grateful and remember you for the rest of my life.
It's just that you may have some misunderstandings about us girls——
do you know? We girls like her lover to give her a house and a diamond ring, not because we really care about these things, but because these things can give us a sense of security... Diamonds are the strongest natural substances in the world, and we hope that our lovers will treat us well. My feelings are as bright and flawless as diamonds, indestructible, nothing more...
If you can't give me a sense of security, what's the point of giving me these extraneous things? "
After saying that, he took another step and walked out of the threshold.
Chu Lingjue looked at her with burning eyes,
"I still don't understand. After all, what do you want from me?"
Gu Xiwan paused in her steps.
"I told you as early as the day you set fire to Ji Shaoting's house. If you want me to give up the idea of separating from you, unless you promise not to have any contact with Sheng Xinyi till the end of your life!"
"Wanwan..."
A touch of pain appeared in Chu Lingjue's ice-like beautiful eyes.
However, at this moment, watching Gu Xiwan walk further and further away, he felt the same feeling of emptiness, loneliness, and helplessness that he would feel every time he watched Gu Xiwan leave him, as if a bottomless pit had been dug out of his heart. , comes suddenly.
It was also at this moment that Chu Lingjue once again clearly realized that his feelings for Gu Xiwan were so deep that he had to be with her——
Even just thinking about not being able to be with her makes me almost suffocated with fear...
Seeing that Gu Xiwan had reached the last level of the nine marble steps outside the door, his eyes darkened, he took a step forward and said solemnly,
"I promise you."
As if under a immobilizing spell, Gu Xiwan stood on the last step, unable to move any further.
Her voice couldn't help but tremble,
"What did you say……"
"As long as you forgive me and Yiyi for the mistakes we made that night, and as long as you are willing to be with me wholeheartedly from now on, I am willing to completely draw a clear line with Sheng Xinyi and never have any contact with her until the end of my life."
Chu Lingjue's voice was so sweet and solemn. Gu Xiwan knew that Chu Lingjue was serious.
"But……"
Gu Xiwan didn't know how she made the sound.
"You also said in the hospital parking lot that you would not be ungrateful. You owe her so much. Are you really willing to let her down for me?"
"There are many ways to repay a person. Just because she and I will never see each other again does not mean that I will never repay her."
At this time, Chu Lingjue had already arrived in front of Gu Xiwan.
He was standing at the foot of the steps, and Gu Xiwan was standing on the steps. His face was only a few centimeters away from Gu Xiwan, and they were eye to eye and lips to lips.
said softly,
"In the future, if she and her family encounter difficulties, I can no longer personally come forward, but I can arrange for others to help them on my behalf. Maybe that will be difficult and make me feel guilty for her, but if that can It’s worth it to me to keep you by my side.”
"..." Gu Xiwan was about to speak, but as soon as her delicate lips opened, a wave of heat suddenly surged up from her heart. She could no longer hide it, and tears spread on her face like crazy.
Seeing her tears, Chu Lingjue's cold and hard heart seemed to melt all of a sudden. His tall body trembled vaguely, and he couldn't help but hold her face gently, and wiped the corners of her eyes with his warm fingertips. Unstoppable tears.
Gu Xiwan calmed down for a moment before her mood stabilized.
Looking at Chu Lingjue's beautiful and flawless face from close range, he smiled through his tears.
"I know that you value love and justice, how could I be so selfish that you should be ungrateful to her for me? You don't have to really cut off contact with Sheng Xinyi, all I need from you is enough, I promise you, I won't do it anymore I’m separated from you.”
"Wanwan..."
Chu Lingjue gently pinched Gu Xiwan's chin and raised her face slightly.
The bright sunshine shone on their faces through the branches and leaves of the pear tree in front of the door. A warm breeze blew by, and the petals danced around them.
Everything is so exciting.
Chu Lingjue's right arm gently hugged Gu Xiwan's slender waist, and his thin lips moved towards hers inch by inch;
She didn't dodge, she walked forward casually, and kissed him deeply on the lips.
