253 Sealed With Love 6 (2/2)
”Xiaoning, am I not doing well enough?” Jin Qingyan asked in bewilderment, thinking that he had already done his best.
”You are, for now. But we don't know how you'll do in the future. Don't think you can be lawless and sleep over here just because we've gotten back together. You are to return to your house as usual.”
”…”
——
Staring at the news on his phone screen, Gu Beicheng felt his heart sink, for he had never expected them to get back together.
It was not good news for him.
Gu Beicheng could not help but feel upset and uneasy. To make matters worse, she did not pick up his multiple calls.
Resisting the urge to go look for her, Gu Beicheng went home straight after work.
Mrs. Gu sat down beside him and said, ”Son… just forget about Xiaoning. I don't think she fancies you at all. Don't be so stubborn and just continue being her brother, alright?”
”I know.” Gu Beicheng turned to look at his mother and said, ”Mother, in which aspect am I worse than Jin Qingyan?”
”To me, you're better than him in every aspect. Well, that's because you're my son. But your relationship with Xiaoning is different. One of the main reasons why things turned out this way is because you appeared later than him.”
Gu Beicheng did not answer and returned to his room instead.
He walked inside the room opposite his, which An Xiaoning stayed in for a few days previously.
Sitting by the bed, he turned to look at the bedhead where he spotted an envelope.
Gu Beicheng took the envelope and realized that it contained the letter he had written to her. It seemed she did not open it at all.
As he sprawled across the bed, a smile formed on his face and he began to recall the very first time he had laid his eyes upon her.
All of a sudden, his phone began to ring. He picked it up to see that it was a call from An Xiaoning.
”Xiaoning.”
”You called me so many times. What's the matter?”
Gu Beicheng no longer felt like telling her the things he wanted to initially. Instead, he answered, ”I read on the news that you've gotten back together with Jin Qingyan.”
”Yeah.”
She had confirmed the truth with just a single word.
”Um… well, congratulations then,” said Gu Beicheng, not managing to come up with anything else to say.
”Thank you. Beicheng, I'm sorry,” said An Xiaoning, who hesitated for a long while before deciding to call him back.
She had long wanted to apologize to him.
However, she had yet to do so.
”Why? There's no need to apologize to your brother. I just hope he'll treat you well in the future. You'll always be a part of our family,” said Gu Beicheng, filled with misery.
”I still feel a little guilty towards you somehow. I'll go home for dinner in a few days' time. We'll talk then.”
”Alright.”
Gu Beicheng let out a sigh after hanging up the phone. Little did he expect to lose the battle even before he had the chance to shine. He won the previous time with Chi Rui'er, yet he had completely been defeated by Jin Qingyan this time.
He could not help but wish that An Xiaoning could swap places with Chi Rui'er instead, so that he could at least win her heart.

He had initially thought that she would no longer get back together with Jin Qingyan once they got divorced, regardless of how much Jin Qingyan pestered her. To be frank, he simply could not bring himself to be as clingy as Jin Qingyan was. Besides, she was an extremely important person to the Gu family after all.
He stood up and tore up the unopened letter he had written to An Xiaoning into shreds before disposing of it in the rubbish bin.
Gu Beicheng quickly strode out of the room and headed downstairs to drive away from the Gu family mansion.
He put on a pair of shades to shield his eyes from the glaring sun and continued to drive at top speed, seemingly venting his frustration and sorrow.
