“My mother… she came back?” How did the Mrs. Dong, who had been enjoying herself in Japan, suddenly return and ruin her perfect plan?
“I heard Xiao Tong called her and told her you were hospitalized, so she anxiously rushed back.”
“Why did you lie to me?” he cupped her face, forcing her to face him, “And told such an absurd, massive lie!”
“I just…” she lowered her eyes, “just wanted a reason to break up with you.”
“A reason to break up with me?” he raised an eyebrow, “Meaning you actually don’t have a solid reason to break up, right? Otherwise, why would you need to ‘find’ one?”
“Don’t tell me it’s because you don’t love me anymore,” he stated, “Your face is so red, your heart is beating so fast – you’re not emotionless when I touch you.”
“I…” she bit her lip, large tears suddenly falling.
“What is it really?” Pei Jia Lie held her in his arms, patting her back like soothing a child, “Do you have some unspeakable secret, like having cancer?”
She couldn’t help but be amused, but the sadness still choked her throat, feeling sour and painful, “I… I just didn’t want to date Jia De’s brother.”
“You know?” he was surprised.
“I knew long ago.”
“Hehe, too bad. I wanted to confess proactively, but you saw through it first,” he teased, “Looks like getting your forgiveness won’t be easy.”
“I’m not angry with you. I wanted to break up, not because I’m angry,” she looked at him seriously.
“So you’re afraid I, this habitual liar, would deceive you?”
“I know you’re sincere to me,” Qiu Yu Ting whispered.
“So what’s the problem?” he pulled her into his embrace, “Why can’t we be together? Why?”
“Because… you’re Jia De’s brother.”
“Damn! Another lousy reason!” he cursed, “I don’t understand.”
“Jia Lie, you understand,” she gently caressed his face, “Think carefully, and you’ll understand. This reason seems simple, but actually contains many obstacles… I can’t ignore these obstacles right now.”
“I don’t care! I don’t care!” he acted like a child, holding onto her, “I just want to be with you!”
