Chapter 8: b.u.t.terfly Dreams
Jing Ruo obviously had feelings for Jing Hao, so how could he be unaware? And to think he would still leave Cheng Xin alone, causing her to lose face in front of her friends .
Shao Chong really wanted to take her into his arms to comfort her, but he was not qualified to stand in that position . He could only force himself to smile and say, “It’s my fault, I’ve neglected Little Jin because I’ve been busy . Not just that, I’ve kept you waiting for a long time, and now you’re hungry . So I’ll treat you both for dinner tonight; just enjoy yourselves and eat . ”
He pushed the menu to Cheng Xin as he spoke .
He was occupied with work? Then how did he find time to call her?
Gu Jin swept her fringe to the side and the corner of her lips lifted to a smile as she silently watched them . Her blood jade bracelet formed a striking contrast to her snow white wrist .
Cheng Xin accepted his offer and politely ordered many of Shao Chong’s favorite dishes .
After a while, the dishes were placed on the table one by one .
Although the delectable dishes gave off a mouthwatering aroma, Gu Jin had no appet.i.te at all . She and the original host were both picky with their food–they disliked anything cooked with cilantro .
However, there were only two dishes on the table that didn’t have any cilantro . Of those that accompanied her, one was her self-proclaimed girlfriend while the other claimed to be her boyfriend, and yet not one of them considered her preferences .
Perhaps they were aware, but didn’t care for it .
At this moment, her thoughts triggered numerous memories and images to rush into her mind, as if the previous host’s resentment had flooded into her every being, unable to be appeased .
Gu Jin wanted to ask them, ‘Why?’
Why did Shao Chong pursue her even those his heart only had room for Cheng Xin? Why did he choose to marry her even though he never forgot about her cousin?
After she was married to Shao Chong, why did Cheng Xin disregard the public’s eyes and continue to seek Shao Chong for help, even if it brought people’s suspicions?
After she was married to Shao Chong, why did Cheng Xin disregard the public’s eyes and continue to seek Shao Chong for help, even if it brought people’s suspicions?
Should her feelings be completely ignored just because she was a gentle, sensible person?
On that day, when the kidnappers placed a knife against her neck, Gu Jin felt utter despair!
She wrapped her hands around her belly as she carefully protected her precious child .
Since Shao Chong was fond of children, he often whispered to her ear how cute her children will be once they are born .
