Chapter 1497 - Great to Have You (57) (2/2)

Jin Yiheng looked at her and said, “Come with me, I have something to show you.”

Long Xiaoxi alighted from the car and walked behind him toward his home. She was rather curious about what he wanted to show her.

She followed him into his bedroom.

She closed the door and he stared at her. “Don’t marry him,” he said.

Long Xiaoxi teared up and said, “What makes you think that you have the right to say this? Are you in any place to do so?”

“Are you willing to give me the right to do so?”

“No, I no longer want to have anything to do with you. Ever since you requested for our engagement to be canceled, got into a relationship with another girl, and started giving me the cold shoulder, I knew that you no longer deserved my heart and affection. You don’t deserve everything that I had done for you. You truly let me down. You were the only person I adored ever since we were children. How could you do that to me? Jin Yiheng, I’ll never forgive you for hurting me. Never in my life.”

He knew that she had never gotten over it and was well aware that she probably resented him. However, he felt as if a million daggers were piercing through his heart the moment he saw her tearing up while saying those harsh words.

He hugged her tightly in his arms and refused to let go regardless of how hard she struggled. When she finally calmed down, he said, “We were inseparable throughout our childhood and we knew each other too well. The older we got, the more I felt like you were just like my younger sister. However, I stopped developing interests in other women ever since you went abroad. No matter how slender, beautiful, adorable, charming, or outstanding other women may be, I often felt that they could not compare to you. I tried to comfort myself by telling myself that I was only feeling guilty for hurting you. But I don’t know why I just can’t bring myself to give you my blessings after hearing that you were getting married. I gave it some thought and I realized that I want to seek your forgiveness and start afresh with you. I want to be with you every single day, like I used to when we were children. I went to look for you and brought you back here because I wanted to pour my feelings out to you and let you know how I really feel, regardless of whether you believe it or not.”

Long Xiaoxi pushed him away. This time, he did not stop her because he had already told her everything that he wanted to.

Pa!

She finally laid her hand on him.

“Does it hurt? Is it fun to toy with my feelings? Like I said, I’ll never forgive you,” she said.

Gazing at her, he asked, “Do you feel better now?”

“You’re just feeling guilty for what you had done to me and you only regard me as your younger sister. There are no romantic feelings between us. You said that you want to go back to the past only because you’re feeling nostalgic. I’ll pretend that I didn’t hear what you said today. What has been done cannot be undone. You were the one who ruined everything. We’re just not destined to be together. I’ve already seen through it all.”

Long Xiaoxi then turned around and left. She slammed the door shut with a loud thud. He took a deep breath, removed his tie, and flung it onto the ground.

Long Xiaoxi returned home and sprawled herself across the bed before crying her heart out.

She was no longer in the mood to give Zhong Minhe a surprise.

Who would have known that Jin Yiheng would say such things to her?

She was infuriated and agonized, for it felt like he had just ripped all of her wounds and scars open again.

Once she was done crying, she turned over and stared at the hand that she used to hit him with. A look of hopelessness formed in her eyes.

Three days later, Mei Yangyang discovered that she had stopped talking about getting married. She asked Long Xiaoxi, “Have you spoken to Minhe yet?”

“No.”

“Why not? Have you decided not to marry him?”

Long Xiaoxi answered, “I’ve decided to focus on the modeling competition first. Brother Minhe is very busy lately too. He’s taken up a new assignment and it urgently needs to be completed. I don’t want him to be distracted so I shall not tell him for now.”

“That works too. You’re still young. There’s no hurry. Your father and I are supportive of your decision to join the modeling contest. We just want you to be happy while doing the things you enjoy.”

“Thank you, Mommy.”
