Chapter 267 - A Date (2/2)

”Eat, hug, kiss…” He paused as he looked at her blushing face, ''And confess.''

”Confess? You are going to confess your undying love for me?” She felt butterflies in her stomach.

''I will confess about something from my past and you will confess everything about your past. Your secrets.”

And the butterflies died with his instakill.

The smile and blush on her face disappeared, ''Can't we just stay like this? What if everything changes between us after all of this confession?”

He rolled to the side and pulled her into his arms, ”I don't know about what will happen after but secrets are not what any relationship should be based on. Not ours, at least.''

''But-”

”Mei, I hate this unpredictability of not knowing anything about you but you are so cute that I can't even bring myself to stay angry with you. Let's us just put an end to this and be honest to each other, alright?”

She buried her face in his neck, ''Will you believe in whatever I say?”

”I will.”

But what if everything changed between them? She knew the day she was dreading will come to her sooner or later. What was she supposed to do now?

'Go ahead, you are a fighter anyways,' She patted herself in her mind. It was better to deal with it once and for all without thinking about the consequences.

…

The next morning.

By the time Jun Zihao woke up, he was greeted by the sight of Su Ning sitting on an armchair in the distance.

”Awake?” She glanced at him with a soft smile and stood up before getting a bowl from the coffee table, ”Here is the soup. It will help you with the hangover.”

He sat up on the couch as yesterday's event flashed across his eyes, ”You know…” He mumbled, pressing his hand on his forehead.

She placed the bowl on the table, ”About what?”

”Su Ning, you are pretentious,'' Jun Zihao spoke through gritted teeth.

”Well, is it about your love for Miss Yu? Or about how you took me as her replacement when you were fucking me?” Her voice got a bit softer towards the end, ”I might cry if I think about that. I really blame Dad for pampering me so much that I have turned a crybaby now,” She looked at the ceiling and blinked continuously.

Jun Zihao glanced at her emotionlessly.

”I usually liked sports shoes and those cool T-shirts and jeans but I tried the pretty dresses and stilettos so that you would notice me. I won't lie about it that I used to take a mirror in my school bag as a teenager and I would check myself from time to time so that I don't look ugly in front of you even for a moment. Dad sent me abroad in the second semester of 9th standard. I cried a lot but you didn't care so in the end, I thought I would go and come back after making a career for myself. By the time I was back, we were engaged. I practically felt like flying that day until later on, your family said that I have to let go of my dream job and you did not say anything against it. I thought you also want that. So, I went ahead with it,” She sighed, ”I was an idiot. Well, let's put an end to my idiocy. I am breaking up with you,” She removed the engagement ring from her finger as tears rolled down her cheeks.

She handed it to him and turned around to walk away only to pause near the door, ”Miss Yu won't ever leave Zixuan. Whenever I look at them, their love reminds me of fairytale love so don't try things on her, you will invoke your brother's wrath and things will not end well for you. Goodbye,” She wiped her tears and walked away without looking at him.

She had always known he loved someone else. It just took her a long time to accept it.

Jun Zihao kicked the empty bottle on the ground and threw away the ring. He picked up his suit jacket and left the room.
