Chapter 443: Not Giving Up

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Er, this…

Could she say they were a couple?

Although they had kissed and hugged, it seemed they had never called each other boyfriend or girlfriend before?

A certain little girl suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, and said in a slightly fierce voice, “What kind of relationship can it be? We were just neighbors. Also, you usually don’t stay for more than a few days, so it’s nothing.

“That’s right, it’s nothing!”

“Oh?”

Ling Chuan clearly felt that the little girl was speaking out of anger.

Her round and fair face flushed slightly.

Heh!

Ling Chuan couldn’t help but smile happily, and was about to say something.

“Eat your food. Why are you talking so much nonsense?”

The little girl looked even fiercer, and was super cute when she scrunched up her face.

Ling Chuan had a very helpless expression on his face, but he obediently picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

However, his gaze was still on her as he asked in a light voice, “Then, may I ask, do you currently have a boyfriend or a closer guy friend?”

“I… I don’t!”

Was he trying to get information out of her?

He wanted her to admit her relationship with him??

He forgot her. He could dream on!

The little girl glared at him angrily and pretended to be unhappy. Then, she lowered her head and started eating!

Ignore him, ignore him!

Too infuriating.

B*stard!

Little did she know that the man’s lips curled up even more happily. He said softly, “That’s good.”

This way, he had nothing to worry about.

The two of them had a harmonious and peaceful dinner.

Ling Chuan considerately picked food for the little girl, poured her tea, and handed her a napkin.

Every move was so smooth and pleasing to the eye, as if he had done it many times.

Suddenly…

The door to the private room was pushed open, and Ling Mo, who was still wrapped in bandages, rushed in.

The young man’s eyes were bloodshot as he looked at the warm and harmonious air around the couple. He clenched his fists and secretly took a deep breath. He said, “Little Uncle, haven’t you thought about it?

“Why do you remember us, but you forgot her? It must be because something happened between the two of you that made you want to forget her!

“Psychologically speaking, a person’s brain will subconsciously protect itself. She… she was strangely close with at least five men at the same time. You, you were especially angry!

“And it was all because of her that something happened to you that day! It was all because of her!

“You were once lovers, but she betrayed…”

No!

“What nonsense are you spouting?” If you want to spread rumors, do it properly!

Seeing Ling Mo’s excited and wicked expression as he pointed at her and spoke to his little uncle, Lu An was really dumbfounded.

What deep hatred was this?

She got up and was about to hit him on the head, when suddenly…

Little Fifth Brother and Fourth Brother also came in.

“An, why are you still eating with him?

“He remembers everyone except you, which means that he doesn’t care about you at all.

“Come, let’s go home!”

As little Fifth Brother spoke, he had a very solemn expression on his face. He and Fourth Brother each grabbed one of her arms and pulled her out.

No, what?

Lu An didn’t understand. She kept looking back at Ling Chuan.

On the other side, Ling Chuan had already gotten up and was about to chase after her.

“Little Uncle, it hurts, it hurts. Ah~”

Ling Mo fell to the floor in pain. He clutched his hand as if it hurt so much it was about to melt.

He wasn’t pretending; he had been afraid that he would feel guilty, so he deliberately smashed his own hand.

It really, really hurt!

Ling Chuan’s face was already dark. On one side was the girl whom he had known for a short while and with whom he supposedly had some emotional conflict, but whom he was indeed attracted to; on the other side was the reckless brat who had followed him since he was young and called him “Little Uncle.” He had only reconciled with Ling Chuan recently after what happened at home!

The man clenched his fists. In the end, he went over to help the brat up.

Even if he knew that he was doing it deliberately.

“Tell me, why did you do that?”

After bandaging his hand, the man asked the question in a deep and cold voice.

There was no emotion in his eyes.

“W- what?”

Ling Mo felt very guilty. He felt like Ling Chuan had seen through him, and he didn’t dare look at him.

The man’s expression was calm as he got straight to the point. “It’s for Xinyi, right?”

Ling Mo looked away, and his eyes turned red as he looked up at the ceiling.

“You like her?”

Ling Chuan asked this question in a low voice. Ling Mo didn’t say anything for a long time.

He then said, “I think she’s very pitiful.”

He lowered his eyes when he said that.

“Is that so?”

Ling Chuan felt that it was a little laughable. He looked at Ling Mo with a slightly red gaze and said in a low voice, “I remember making it clear to her a long time ago that I can treat her like how I treat you. I treat her as my biological little sister, but I can’t and I won’t love her. If she insists on harboring hope, then I’ll completely break off ties with her.”

“So?

“Uncle, don’t you think you’re too cruel?

“Can feelings be turned off just like that?”

The young man’s bloodshot eyes were filled with extreme disappointment.

“Heh!”

Ling Chuan found it funny and laughed. He retorted in a faint voice, “You yourself know it too, right?

“I don’t like her, which means that my kindness to her will only hurt her more in the end!

“Rather than letting her sink deeper, she may as well wake up sooner and start over.

“I don’t want to see her live an indeterminate existence because of me.

“Also, I’m selfish, very selfish!

“Why can’t I find my own happiness? Why should I give happiness to someone I don’t love?

“If that happens, will the person who loves me be happy about it?”

With that, the man got up quietly with dark eyes. He patted Ling Mo lightly on the shoulder and said, “I’ll send the two of you back later. Guide her well; she should give up on something that will never happen.

“Of course, if she’s willing, you can follow her.

“Anyway, I’ve already said it. I don’t have those kinds of feelings for her. I can’t be with her.”

With that, Ling Chuan got up and strode out the door.

There was no hesitation in that tall and upright figure. Ling Mo gritted his teeth!

His handsome face was tense, and he couldn’t help but shout, “So?

“Do you like her that much?

“If she doesn’t accept you, will you also never give up?”

“I won’t.”

The man turned around slightly and said the two words in a low voice.

Without any hesitation, he turned around and left.
