Chapter 115: Don’t Reject Me
Ever since Xu Ningzhou said he wanted to formally court Song Qinghuan, he didn’t conceal his desire to be possessive about
Song Qinghuan. Besides, Xu Ningzhou also had absolute respect for Song Qinghuan. He knew that Song Qinghuan had some secrets, but he wouldn’t secretly pry into them and interfere in her personal affairs.
Xu Ningzhou had superior status currently. So it was very easy for him to make Song Qinghuan popular. The resources he had were what countless stars were dying for. However, she didn’t want those others desired.
As rebirth gave her an advantage over the other people, Song Qinghuan had the ability to predict the big events of the next few years. She had already invested all the money in her hands in several projects which were currently profitable.
After knowing about Song Qinghuan’s past, Xu Ningzhou recalled what happened at the banquet again and again. He felt very protective of Song Qinghuan. He had already regarded her as his private possession since he found her in the dilapidated plant.
Xu Ningzhou came from a privileged and well-off family. Compared to his half-blooded little brother, Xu Ningzhou of those yearsThis content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
had been a nightmare for many people. He was the little devil in everyone’s memories. However, several misfortunes struck later: Song Qinghuan was taken away by the policemen, he was sent out abroad for more than ten years when the Xu family was in bad luck, and his parents divorced.
Therefore, Xu Ningzhou had great empathy for the Song Family’s situation even if Song Qinghuan didn’t explain. He could imagine how difficult their life was these years.
“What’s the expression on your face?” Song Qinghuan disliked to see Xu Ningzhou blaming himself.
Qiu Meng had taken the instrument back to his own room to check it. The connection with Yu Fei was also broken, with the laptop switched off and set aside.
There were only Song Qinghuan and Xu Ningzhou in the room.
Xu Ningzhou held Song Qinghuan’s hand and kissed it. He said in a deep voice, “Sorry, I have broken my word.”
Before they separated, Xu Ningzhou said that he would go to find her. However, he had left for more than ten years.
Last time, Xu Ningzhou said that he was about to formally court Song Qinghuan since now. This was not a tongue-in-cheek remark. When she heard Xu Ningzhou’s words at that time, Song Qinghuan was a little confused. She had lived for two lifetimes, but she had never been in love. Although numerous men courted her, they did not impress her.
Xu Ningzhou was different. The memory about him in the last life was that this man was cold and powerful.
In this life, they had misunderstood each other when they met. Then she was on guard against him. When Xu Ningzhou helped her again and again, the hostility toward him disappeared a little. This man showed his sincerity to her.
Therefore, when Xu Ningzhou said he liked her, Song Qinghuan was surprised, and couldn’t believe it. She was not confident, and she didn’t believe love.
She had seen too many people in her two lifetimes. Even affectionate couples tended to split up and harm each other for the sake of personal interests. Besides, she and Xu Ningzhou were starkly different, so Song Qinghuan directly refused Xu Ningzhou after a while.
Xu Ningzhou was so clever that he understood the thought of Song Qinghuan at that time. Before she spoke, he said, “Don’t rush. I will not press you to make the decision right now. You have sufficient time to understand me. All you need is to enjoy this process.”
“However, there is one thing to trouble you.”
“What?”
Xu Ningzhou said with a smile, “Don’t refuse me, don’t hate me. Just watch me.”
‘To watch how I love you. Then you decide whether to accept me.’
Xu Ningzhou was a proud man. At that time, he seemed to lower himself, which made Song Qinghuan touched. An indescribable feeling overwhelmed her. A moment later, Song Qinghuan gently nodded and agreed with Xu Ningzhou.
Xu Ningzhou had also done it. Even though Song Qinghuan had yet to accept him, he still treated Song Qinghuan well.
When Song Qinghuan felt that she had been abandoned by everyone, he grabbed her hand tightly and stayed by her side.
At this moment, Song Qinghuan began to believe him. She wanted to have trust in others again, although the failed marriage of her parents made her lose confidence in love, and the so-called family taught her a miserable lesson that no one else should be believed.
However, if this man was Xu Ningzhou, Song Qinghuan would like to try to believe him.
In a spacious room on the second floor above that of Song Qinghuan, Jing Yu picked up a cup of tea which her assistant had prepared for her and sipped it. She rested on a massage chair, wearing a dark bathrobe which highlighted the fair skin on her neck.
She pinched a pendant made of exquisite jade with her fair finger. It was said that jade had its life. As time passed, its color was getting deeper and deeper. Since the jade was of deep green color, her pendant obviously dated back many years.
Jing Yu put down the teacup and carefully examined the pendant under the light.
It was a love token Song Yueming had given to her when he was courting her.
Twenty years had passed. Time was a great healer.
Jing Yu was not a native of Lin’an. She was born in a county which was governed by Lin’an. The county was small, but several tourist spots in it were full of culture and history.
At that time, she, a high school student, was not called Jing Yu. Her father, a very heavy gambler, owed a large sum of money. In the face of such a huge debt,
her mother went insane, and committed suicide. Even though she dropped out to pay her father’s debt, that huge sum was not what a little girl like her could repay.
During summer holiday, Song Yueming followed by a flock of pampered
young people came to the county for a tour. They met Jing Yu, who was being chased by some gangsters. They had saved her from the gang.
In order to collect extra money, Jing Yu became a guide for those boys and girls.
The arrival of Song Yueming coincided with the darkest time in Jing Yu’s life. Her mother had committed suicide. Her father who was addicted to alcohol and gambling, tended to beat others when he was drunk. In order to repay his great debt, he even sold his pretty daughter. Without the help of Song Yueming, Jing Yu would live a miserable life, let alone becoming the best actress.
