Er, thisâ¦
Could she say they were a couple?
Although they had kissed and hugged, it seemed they had never called each other boyfriend or girlfriend before?
A certain little girl suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, and said in a slightly fierce voice, âWhat kind of relationship can it be? We were just neighbors. Also, you usually donât stay for more than a few days, so itâs nothing.
âThatâs right, itâs nothing!â
âOh?â
Ling Chuan clearly felt that the little girl was speaking out of anger.
Her round and fair face flushed slightly.
Heh!
Ling Chuan couldnât help but smile happily, and was about to say something.
âEat your food. Why are you talking so much nonsense?â
The little girl looked even fiercer, and was super cute when she scrunched up her face.
Ling Chuan had a very helpless expression on his face, but he obediently picked up his chopsticks and started eating.
However, his gaze was still on her as he asked in a light voice, âThen, may I ask, do you currently have a boyfriend or a closer guy friend?â
âI⦠I donât!â
Was he trying to get information out of her?
He wanted her to admit her relationship with him??
He forgot her. He could dream on!
The little girl glared at him angrily and pretended to be unhappy. Then, she lowered her head and started eating!
Ignore him, ignore him!
Too infuriating.
B*stard!
Little did she know that the manâs lips curled up even more happily. He said softly, âThatâs good.â
This way, he had nothing to worry about.
The two of them had a harmonious and peaceful dinner.
Ling Chuan considerately picked food for the little girl, poured her tea, and handed her a napkin.
Every move was so smooth and pleasing to the eye, as if he had done it many times.
Suddenlyâ¦
The door to the private room was pushed open, and Ling Mo, who was still wrapped in bandages, rushed in.
The young manâs eyes were bloodshot as he looked at the warm and harmonious air around the couple. He clenched his fists and secretly took a deep breath. He said, âLittle Uncle, havenât you thought about it?
âWhy do you remember us, but you forgot her? It must be because something happened between the two of you that made you want to forget her!
âPsychologically speaking, a personâs brain will subconsciously protect itself. She⦠she was strangely close with at least five men at the same time. You, you were especially angry!
âAnd it was all because of her that something happened to you that day! It was all because of her!
âYou were once lovers, but she betrayedâ¦â
No!
âWhat nonsense are you spouting?â?If you want to spread rumors, do it properly!
Seeing Ling Moâs excited and wicked expression as he pointed at her and spoke to his little uncle, Lu An was really dumbfounded.
What deep hatred was this?
She got up and was about to hit him on the head, when suddenlyâ¦
Little Fifth Brother and Fourth Brother also came in.
âAn, why are you still eating with him?
âHe remembers everyone except you, which means that he doesnât care about you at all.
âCome, letâs go home!â
As little Fifth Brother spoke, he had a very solemn expression on his face. He and Fourth Brother each grabbed one of her arms and pulled her out.
No, what?
Lu An didnât understand. She kept looking back at Ling Chuan.
On the other side, Ling Chuan had already gotten up and was about to chase after her.
âLittle Uncle, it hurts, it hurts. Ah~â
Ling Mo fell to the floor in pain. He clutched his hand as if it hurt so much it was about to melt.
He wasnât pretending; he had been afraid that he would feel guilty, so he deliberately smashed his own hand.
It really, really hurt!
Ling Chuanâs face was already dark. On one side was the girl whom he had known for a short while and with whom he supposedly had some emotional conflict, but whom he was indeed attracted to; on the other side was the reckless brat who had followed him since he was young and called him âLittle Uncle.â He had only reconciled with Ling Chuan recently after what happened at home!
The man clenched his fists. In the end, he went over to help the brat up.
Even if he knew that he was doing it deliberately.
âTell me, why did you do that?â
After bandaging his hand, the man asked the question in a deep and cold voice.
There was no emotion in his eyes.
âW- what?â
Ling Mo felt very guilty. He felt like Ling Chuan had seen through him, and he didnât dare look at him.
The manâs expression was calm as he got straight to the point. âItâs for Xinyi, right?â
Ling Mo looked away, and his eyes turned red as he looked up at the ceiling.
âYou like her?â
Ling Chuan asked this question in a low voice. Ling Mo didnât say anything for a long time.
He then said, âI think sheâs very pitiful.â
He lowered his eyes when he said that.
âIs that so?â
Ling Chuan felt that it was a little laughable. He looked at Ling Mo with a slightly red gaze and said in a low voice, âI remember making it clear to her a long time ago that I can treat her like how I treat you. I treat her as my biological little sister, but I canât and I wonât love her. If she insists on harboring hope, then Iâll completely break off ties with her.â
âSo?
âUncle, donât you think youâre too cruel?
âCan feelings be turned off just like that?â
The young manâs bloodshot eyes were filled with extreme disappointment.
âHeh!â
Ling Chuan found it funny and laughed. He retorted in a faint voice, âYou yourself know it too, right?
âI donât like her, which means that my kindness to her will only hurt her more in the end!
âRather than letting her sink deeper, she may as well wake up sooner and start over.
âI donât want to see her live an indeterminate existence because of me.
âAlso, Iâm selfish, very selfish!
âWhy canât I find my own happiness? Why should I give happiness to someone I donât love?
âIf that happens, will the person who loves me be happy about it?â
With that, the man got up quietly with dark eyes. He patted Ling Mo lightly on the shoulder and said, âIâll send the two of you back later. Guide her well; she should give up on something that will never happen.
âOf course, if sheâs willing, you can follow her.
âAnyway, Iâve already said it. I donât have those kinds of feelings for her. I canât be with her.â
With that, Ling Chuan got up and strode out the door.
There was no hesitation in that tall and upright figure. Ling Mo gritted his teeth!
His handsome face was tense, and he couldnât help but shout, âSo?
âDo you like her that much?
âIf she doesnât accept you, will you also never give up?â
âI wonât.â
The man turned around slightly and said the two words in a low voice.
Without any hesitation, he turned around and left.
