Chapter 631 - THE BAD AND THE UGLY (2/2)

”Why did you not say anything if you did not want to go?” Wang Che asked.

”That's the thing. I wanted to go. Maybe I had feelings for you even back then, so I did not think twice about it. That is the kind of person I am. When I care for someone, I do not hold back. I give everything. But I cannot be in a relationship with someone who just takes.” Shun said.

”Shun, you know that is not true.” Wang Che walked towards Shun until he was right in front of him.

Shun took a step backwards and looked at Wang Che. ”I am not talking about material things. I have enough material things. And if I want more houses or cars or millions, I can ask my family to give me them. Hell, I can ask Zhong Feng, and he will give me whatever I want.”

Zhong Feng and Hu Lei were watching the entire drama with interest from the couch and did not expect to be drawn into the crossfire. The sudden involvement made it weird since they were there. Hu Lei pulled Zhong Feng's arm until he stood up.

”On that note, we are leaving.” Hu Lei said as she dragged Zhong Feng. ”But for the record, it is true.”

As the two people left their living room, Shun and Wang Che faced off again.

”I can give you everything, Shun.” Wang Che said as he lifted his hand and touched Shun's face. ”There is nothing that I will not give you.”

Shun closed his eyes as he felt the warmth of that hand. The touch was comforting and familiar. He had dreamt of that touch for countless nights, especially after that kiss under the tree on that night. He wanted to surrender.

However, he needed to stay strong. He opened his eyes and stepped back.

”You can give me everything. But you are not willing to give me the thing I want the most.” Shun paused and took a breath. ”The real you! I am tired of the façade. I want to know the real Wang Che. The good, the bad and the ugly.”

Wang Che took a step back, almost instinctually.

Shun laughed harshly. ”That is what I thought. Here I am, pouring my heart to you, and you are still unable to give me a glimpse into yourself. Is this the good life you are promising me? Do you think that I will be happy?”

Wang Che lowered his head as he felt the world closing in on him again. He knew that he was going to lose Shun. And if he lost Shun this time, there would be no going back. This was his final chance to be with the one person he had ever loved in the whole world.

Shun's eyes filled with tears again at the hesitation in Wang Che. He took a step back, intending to leave before he broke down. ”Che, I am tired. We should just end things here before we do more damage.”

Wang Che lifted his head and looked at Shun. His eyes were different somehow. He did not have that composed demeanour anymore, and weird darkness was exposed on his face. It was a change that was intangible yet very real.

He stretched his hands and caught Shun's in a tight hold. Shun's mouth opened in surprise, and his eyes widened at the transformation in Wang Che.

”As I said, I am willing to give you everything.” Wang Che said in a low voice. ”But I am afraid there is no good in my real self.. Only the bad and the ugly.”
