She quickly over looked it and answered him.""I should be home before four pm, is there anything wrong?""
Xin Yong had agreed with Freya to bring the gifts with her on his birthday which was the day after tomorrow, since she did not want Jin Yue seeing them before the D-day. There was no need meeting with them, so she was glad that she would not have to lie to him anymore.
""Nothing, just wanted to know when I"ll return.""
Jin Yue replied, sounding a bit caring. Xin Yong felt a light blush taint her cheeks and she giggled lightly.
""Awnn, where did I find such a wonderful boyfriend? Don"t miss me too much okay, and concentrate on work.""
The words which ordinarily should have been soothing; caused Jin Yue so much pain that his eyes started to water.
""Okay, see you at home.""
""Yeah, bye!""
Jin Yue quickly disconnected the call so she wouldn"t hear him sobbing.
Jin Yue knew that staying in the office was hopeless, he knew better than anyone that he would not concentrate so he decided to go home.
…
When Xin Yong came back, Jin Yue was already home. He pretended as though everything was okay, he even helped her run her bath. Since it was quite early, after their meal, Xin Yong lay on Jin Yue"s legs as they watched a movie.
She was so fixated in the movie that she did not notice how tensed Jin Yue was. Since she came back, he had been thinking of how he would ask her about it but he could not just get the words out of his mouth.
He knew immediately he asked her, things would never remain the same again. His gaze s.h.i.+fted from the television to her beautiful face. She had tied her hair into a bun, but because it was so long, it had already loosened.
Her eyes shone brightly and he could see the reflection of the television in her eyes. The more he stared, the more she looked extremely beautiful. She occasionally giggled, which exposed her nicely shaped dent.i.tion.
""Sweet…""
He called finally. He knew he had to do it and the earlier he got it out of his mind, the better. He loved her so much, but those pictures meant something, either she loved him or she loved that person. And if she did not love him, it would mean that she had been putting up with him all these while.
Jin Yue imagined how terrible it must be for her to put up with him for so long. Maybe because she did not want to hurt his feelings, she did not know how to tell him that she did not love him anymore or that she never did love him.
He loved her so much that he would even wish that she would always remain by his side always, but that would not be at the expense of her own happiness. The last thing he wanted to do was to force her to remain by his side.
He would let her go; even though he knew it would shatter him. He wouldn"t want her pretending anymore.
Although he had decided to let her go, he earnestly prayed that she would choose him, that she would not lie anymore.
He would forgive her instantly if she told him the truth.
""Mm?""
Xin Yong answered, her eyes still watching the television.
Jin Yue breathed deeply and raised his hand to touch her face, gently caressing it.
""At what time did you leave the company yesterday?""
Xin Yong"s body froze instantly when she heard Jin Yue"s question. She was quiet for a while before she answered.
""I came home immediately I was through in the company. Is anything wrong?""
Jin Yue"s last hope crushed immediately and the hand on her face paused. He felt his throat dry and something felt stuck on it, he had to cough lightly to speak clearly.
""No, I just asked.""
Xin Yong sensed something was wrong but she did not know exactly what. She didn"t know why he had asked that question all of a sudden but either way, she did not do something entirely wrong and she would still tell him what happened after the surprise she planned for him.
""Sweet, is there anything you want to tell me?""
This time Xin Yong lifted her head from his legs and looked at his face.
""No, Is anything wrong?""
She asked with a slight frown on her forehead. Jin Yue stared at her expressionlessly for a while before lifting his hand to her face and caressing it slowly.
""I love you."" He said with a strained voice as he stared into her bright eyes.
If that man would make her happy, he would let her go. He would not keep her by his side and watch her everyday wallow in sadness.
He loved her but he would let her go.
Xin Yong broke out into a smile and giggled.
""Is that what you are saying with a serious tone? I love you too.""Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
