C61 (1/2)

Sophie stayed at Xue Minghuang's house for a week, and during that time, he gradually felt Xue Minghuang returning home less and less after seeing her mental state gradually recover. Even if she returned, she was only staying in the study room to take care of her own matters.

He knew that with his strength and boldness, and now that he had such a huge ambition, his future career would only rise day by day. He thought that if Xia Ying left, he would have a chance, but there was nothing he could do. Sophie looked out of the window. That matter, he was blaming himself, was he really going to use such a despicable method to stay by his side?

Looking at Xue Minghuang's dark blue car entering the garage, Sophie's heart throbbed. There was no other way out, this man was what he wanted. No matter what methods he used, as long as he belonged to him, wouldn't that be fine? Why bother so much?

Sophie ran into the living room. Seeing that it was Xue Minghuang, he anxiously pulled at his tie, and drank some wine. When she raised her eyes, they were filled with anticipation, and she could clearly see the figure standing in the hall, in a moment of absent-mindedness, but she very quickly saw that it was Sophie. The light in his eyes gradually faded.

How could Sophie not see these details? But she gathered up her courage and walked forward, ”You're back? Drink, is it hard? ”Do you want me to …”

Xue Minghuang had already changed his shoes, and walked towards the guest room, his gaze stopped for a moment, and said: ”No need, rest, I still have things to take care of.” After saying that, he seemed to realize that the alienation in his tone was too obvious, so he turned to look at her and said, ”Thank you.”

Sophie really wanted to say, I don't need your thanks. However, the words were already on the tip of her tongue. How could she have the qualifications to do so? Not before, but now, after all this, he was even more unqualified. Watching Xue Minghuang enter the house, the sound of the door closing seemed to have been infinitely amplified to his ears.

He felt extremely bitter in his heart. But what could he do? His love had come late, so it had expired. That's the truth, that's all.

The wine in the wine shelf seemed to exude an enticing fragrance at this moment. Sophie subconsciously went closer, it was so good, so it could make someone drunk and relieve their worries. Who knew how much he drank, the bottle fell to the ground and rolled a few times, until he stopped at Xue Minghuang's feet. He picked it up, placed it in the trash can, and walked into Sophie's room.

Sophie raised his head and looked at Xue Minghuang in a daze, ”So it turns out that I'm really not feeling sad now that I'm drunk.” Xue Minghuang lowered his head to look at her face. But at this moment in time, he actually did not feel it at all, but why did he still miss Xia Ying so much? Could it be that he would soon forget everything?

Sophie picked up the wine and gulped down a mouthful of it. Only then did the bitterness in her heart lessen a little. She stood up shakily, a pair of slender white hands gently caressing Xue Minghuang's cheek. What should she do? She really wanted to be presumptuous.

Slowly approaching, the cold lips close to him, tiptoeing, little by little. Xue Minghuang opened his eyes wide, he did not avoid them, but now, he just wanted to know, could he still love others again?

Sophie mustered up her courage. The memories of that night still remained in her mind, but she knew that no matter if she accepted or rejected, she would only have this one chance. When he returned to Xue Minghuang's side, it was already too late to release the emotions that he had accumulated for six years. Just this once, even if it was just this once.

Sophie reached her hand out to grab Xue Minghuang's neck, and brought him infinitely closer to her. Step by step, the corners of his eyes, his brows, and his tall nose — he felt that their breathing was becoming hotter and hotter, and their distance was getting closer.

Xue Minghuang's hands had been hanging by his sides the entire time, and seemed to be a thousand kilograms. Every cell in his body was clamoring, continuing, continuing. However, the face that constantly appeared in his mind was a clear reminder. If he couldn't do it, then he couldn't! He stood there stiffly, not knowing what to make of himself like this.

When Sophie quietly moved closer to the corner of her lips, he still turned her face to the side and dodged. Sophie didn't dare believe it, nor was she willing to believe it. Do you understand? If you don't want me to touch anything, please give me everything you can accept. Can't you fulfill my humble love?

Xue Minghuang pushed Sophie away with a raise of his hand, ”I'm sorry.”

Sophie couldn't bear to let go of his hands, ”I'm sorry if I didn't have to listen, did you know that? ”Women hate men the most when they say sorry.” When Xue Minghuang heard this, his heart froze. So that's how it is. But then, he quickly cursed himself. No matter what, it had nothing to do with him, okay? Why do you want to think about it again?
