Chapter 242: Give up
Chapter 242: Give up
After Liu Yingying responded, the two fell into silence again.
After all, there is distance and estrangement. Even if they once loved each other, they can never go back.
Liu Yingying realized this clearly again. Besides feeling heartbroken, she felt more helpless.
So she clenched her fists, took a deep breath, raised her eyelids and looked at the man, and asked the question she wanted to ask the most: "Did you send that letter? Are you...married?"
Gu Wenlang, who was thinking about what topic to talk about so as not to appear so awkward, was stunned again when he suddenly heard this question.
Obviously, this was not the reunion he had imagined. Even if he had expected to be questioned, it shouldn't have happened so soon.
However, because of this, Gu Wenlang believed that Liu Yingying would question him urgently because she cared about him and wanted to beg him not to give up on her...
"Isn't it?" Seeing Gu Wenlang's expression changing again and again, Liu Yingying frowned, and a trace of throbbing arose in her heart.
Being looked at so intently by her, Gu Wenlang's face suddenly tightened, and he felt that he had nowhere to hide.
"Hmm? Can't you tell me?" Seeing that he avoided her gaze and chose to remain silent again, Liu Yingying already knew the answer, but she just wanted him to say it in person.
Facing Liu Yingying's relentless pressure, Gu Wenlang finally responded: "...Yes."
Then he spoke quickly: "Yingying, I'm sorry, this is all my fault, you can hit me, you can scold me, I am sorry for you, I..."
Liu Yingying looked at him blankly, then suddenly sneered, "What's the point of beating you and scolding you?"
"Yingying..." Gu Wenlang was moved. She really came to keep him, but he couldn't because Xier was in poor health.
Liu Yingying didn't know what he was thinking, so she interrupted him directly, "You are wrong, and I am wrong too, so we are even."
"No, you're not wrong." Gu Wenlang denied it. He knew he was in the wrong, so he couldn't bear to see her talk about him like that.
However, Liu Yingying smiled and shook her head, "Yes."
My fault was my arrogance and naivety. I hurt my mother who loved me the most and caused her to be bullied by many people, who laughed at her for having an old girl in her family who couldn't get married...
"Yingying, don't do this, I..."
Gu Wenlang wanted to say something else, but Liu Yingying had already understood what she wanted to say, so she didn't look at him again. Instead, she took out the token that she had treasured all these years from her sleeve pocket and handed it to him.
"Our fate has ended. This comb should be returned to its original owner. We probably won't see each other again. I wish you and your wife a happy and harmonious life together, and a long life together."
Gu Wenlang lowered his head and stared blankly at the wooden comb. He didn't expect that she had kept it so well, and he didn't expect that she didn't come to keep him, but to say goodbye to him.
"Take it." Liu Yingying couldn't understand why he was shocked. Did he think that she wouldn't take good care of their token?
Oh, never mind, let him think whatever he wants.
"Yingying, I am sorry for you. In my next life, I will definitely marry..."
"No need." Liu Yingying frowned and said coldly.
"Yingying, you are blaming me, aren't you? But I really can't marry you. I still like you, but Xier is in poor health. I can't marry you. I..."
"Shut up!" Liu Yingying's face turned very embarrassed. She looked at Gu Wenlang with eyes that had always been very unfamiliar to her. Suddenly, she felt that the person in front of her had changed beyond recognition.
How could he say these words?!
Men can have three wives and four concubines, but Liu Yingying can't! She doesn't want to! She doesn't want to! She won't compete with others for a man who has changed his mind! She is also unwilling to be a concubine!
"Yingying, that's not what I meant..."
Looking at Liu Yingying's angry face, Gu Wenlang instantly realized how hurtful his words were, but words spoken are like water spilled, and cannot be taken back.
Liu Yingying had completely given up hope at this point and didn't want to talk to him any more. Since he didn't want to take the comb back, then let him do as he pleased.
Thinking of this, the disheartened Liu Yingying placed the comb on the table, turned her head, and said to Gu Wenlang who was looking at her hopefully, "See you later."
After saying that, Liu Yingying withdrew her gaze and turned to leave.
"No!" Gu Wenlang refused subconsciously.
There was a voice in his heart telling him that she was his and she shouldn't leave. This was not the best thing!
Seeing that he was about to catch up and try to pull her, Liu Yingying couldn't help but frowned, and then she stopped and said indifferently: "Yu Ge'er and the others are outside, you should wait a while before going out. I'm afraid they will get a little excited after seeing you."
Gu Wenlang froze as he thought about how he got here. He was not afraid of Yu Ge'er, but it was a different story for the person who could tie him up and bring him here silently.
"And did you forget what you said? Your wife is not in good health? Now that things have come to this, don't dwell on it."
After saying that, Liu Yingying turned around and walked away without waiting for his response.
squeak-
The door was opened, and Xia Mo and the others who were waiting outside looked up.
Seeing Liu Yingying coming out, Yu Ge'er's eyes lit up, and he immediately stepped forward and called out, "Sister Yingying!"
No one expected her to come out so soon. They were a little surprised and looked at her face carefully.
Well, her eyes looked a little sad, but her complexion was normal, and her eyes and nose were not red, so she probably didn't cry.
"Are you done talking?" Xia Mo asked.
Liu Yingying nodded and smiled: "We're done talking. I think it's still early, why don't we go to the night market? It won't be a waste of time."
Xia Mo had no objection. It was great to go to the night market. Not only could it allow her to relax, but she could also experience the freshness of the brightly lit night market. How wonderful it was.
"Come on, come on, I just smelled the aroma of street snacks, let's go try one now!"
"I smelled it too. There seems to be a lantern riddle game over there. I want a little tiger and bring it back to my mother when the time comes." Yuger said.
Although Ling Chuan and Gong Ming didn't say anything, their eyes were always on the people they liked, but they would definitely not object to visiting the night market.
"Okay, let us help you guess together." Liu Yingying bent down and said to Yuger.
"Wow! Sister Yingying, you are my real sister!" Yuger was deeply moved.
Xia Mo laughed and couldn't help teasing him: "Sister Yingying is your biological sister, then what are we to you? Your biological brothers?"
"Yes, yes, you are all my brothers." Yu Ge'er climbed up the pole as soon as he saw it, and said in a slightly flattering manner. He saw Liu Yingying chuckle out of the corner of his eye, so he worked even harder.
So, several people left the restaurant amid Yu Ge'er's chattering. When they came out of the restaurant door, Xia Mo turned his head and looked at Gong Ming who was walking at the back, and Gong Ming nodded slightly to him.
"Mo'er, what do you want?" Ling Chuan spoke at the right time, abruptly interrupting the exchange of glances between the two.
