Chapter 717: I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have liked you IV
Lin Yiqian closed her eyes as two streams of tears rolled down her cheeks.
She lifted her feet and quickly ran out of the door.
“Lin Yiqian …” Gu nianshen suddenly came to his senses as he clutched the diamond in his hand.
As Gu nianshen raised his head nervously, Lin Yiqian had already stepped out of the front door. Gu nianshen then stood up and ran out of the door.
In the blink of an eye, that familiar figure had disappeared. He stood in the vast night, feeling so lost and helpless.
“That’s because I want to fulfill my mother’s long-cherished wish. I don’t want the Lin Corporation to go bankrupt. It’s not because I still have compa.s.sion for Lin Tianwan or because I still care for the Lin family.”
“It’s because I want to marry Gu nianshen. I’ve liked Gu nianshen for a long time. I want to complete my mother’s research one day so that I can make up for my dowry when I marry you.”
Lin Yiqian’s words echoed in his ears.
Every time, the pain in her heart would deepen, and it would get deeper and deeper.
As Gu nianshen ran to the intersection, he looked at the cars that were pa.s.sing by. All he could think about was Lin Yiqian’s look of despair.
He stopped in his tracks and backed away in a daze. He leaned against a tree and pulled down his shoulders, removing all of his outer appearance.
The diamond in his hand was unknowingly embedded into his flesh. He slowly raised his hand and spread out his palm.
The diamond was as bright as the stars under the street light, and the word ‘shallow’ on the hairpin was very clear.
“Young man, you can carve words on this diamond holder. What do you want to carve?”
“Lin Yiqian!”
As Gu nianshen mumbled Lin Yiqian’s name, he seemed even more careful than when he was talking to a rare treasure.
He had known her for fifteen years, and she had been in his heart for fifteen years.
She said that he liked him. She had liked him for a long time. He closed his eyes and smiled like a fool. He no longer had the feeling of crying in his memory.
He wasn’t even this scared in the fire, and he didn’t cry.
He even thought that perhaps he wouldn’t miss her anymore if he died. If he died, he wouldn’t have to see how sweet and loving she was with other people. If he died, he wouldn’t have to be jealous.
No one knew that the prideful Gu nianshen, who was high and mighty, was actually so weak and depraved.
……
“You’re still crying. ”
That night, Lin Yiqian did not sleep at all. She sat cross-legged in front of the French window on the wall as she looked out at the vast sea.
If only her heart was that big, she would be able to accept all happiness, anger, sorrow, and joy.
If he didn’t care about this and that, he wouldn’t be in so much pain.
She did not sleep the entire night, so Bai se naturally could not fall asleep as well. This was the umpteenth time Bai se had come out of the study. The sky outside had already turned dark blue and was gradually turning white.
The morning sun in the west reflected red on the clouds.
After pouring a gla.s.s of water, Gu nianshen walked over to Lin Yiqian.””What’s your next step?”
As he asked, he handed the gla.s.s of water to Lin Yiqian.
“I don’t know.”
Lin Yiqian shook her head as she replied to Bai se in a hoa.r.s.e voice. As she spoke, she took the gla.s.s of water from Bai se and finished it in one gulp.
Then, she slowly got up while holding onto the gla.s.s.
Her legs were so numb that she could not walk. Bai se quickly reached out to grab her arm to help her up.
“I’m going to take a nap,”she said lightly.
Maybe I’ll know what to do after a night’s sleep.
“That’s right. I’ll only have the energy to think about other things if I rest well.” Bai se nodded.
With Bai SE’s help, Lin Yiqian returned to her room and covered her head with the blanket.
