“I have my own,” she said, truly taking tissues from her bag and wiping away her tears.
But she used them up in just a few wipes.
“Tang Keshan, can you be kind and stop crying? Tell me, what are you crying about?”
Chu Fantian put down the beer can in his hand, crushed it flat, threw it into the nearby trash can, and asked again with patience.
“I’m heartbroken!” she muffled through the tissues.
“I know you’re heartbroken, but why?”
This was exactly what puzzled him!
Since they entered the banquet, all he had seen was her smiling face, and how she skillfully used her beauty to highlight his tall, heroic and spirited appearance, successfully silencing those who wanted to mock him.
As for the delicate buffet, she had eaten with great enjoyment, not pretentious at all.
Unexpectedly, the situation had changed dramatically, and he truly didn’t know what had happened.
“Chu Fantian, I’m telling you, I, Tang Keshan, have never cried like this in my life…” her nasal voice was heavy.
“Oh!” Beyond that, he didn’t know how to respond.
“But just now, I really couldn’t help it…” Just when she thought her tears had stopped, they started flowing again.
Fortunately, after sniffling, she didn’t break down completely.
“What exactly made you unable to stop crying?”
Honestly, constantly looking at her delicate face, especially how she liked to call him “Fantian, Fantian” in her sweet voice – somehow, his previously hard heart was gradually melting for her…
Otherwise, how could he explain bringing her home and being so patient with her?
He had never done such a thing before.
He clearly knew it wasn’t because of gentlemanly courtesy that he was comforting her.
Instead, something in his heart was stirring for her.
The worst part was, he seemed powerless to pull back his heart that was falling for her.
“It’s because of them! Those beasts in human skin. How dare they speak about you so badly and so miserably?” her tone was full of reluctance and accusation. “Who says you’re a spendthrift? What do they mean by saying you ruined the Tianyang Department Store that your father worked hard to build? That’s clearly a frame-up!”
“You… you’re crying because of this?” he was astonished by her defending him.
