Chapter 422 - 420 Yue Tingting’s Choice
The kiss lasted for two full minutes. Feeling that Yue Tingting was struggling to breathe, Lu Tianxing finally let her go. He looked at Yue Tingting, who was gasping heavily and as red as a cooked shrimp, and fell silent for a moment before he gently sighed, "Tingting, have you really made up your mind? I don’t want to deceive you in any way. As you’ve seen, there are other women in my life, and you might not be the last one either. Even I find myself shameless for saying this, but it’s something you need to know. I’ve been through a lot, and these experiences prevent me from providing you with the stable life you desire. If you want me to be good to you and only you, to love only you for the rest of my life, I’m afraid I am bound to disappoint you."
"Moreover, you should also know about my affairs with Qian Ru. You probably already have your answer in mind, and I don’t want to hide this from you. So, I’m not cut out to be a good husband, and I can’t give you the kind of love you desire...."
Lu Tianxing said quietly, while Yue Tingting listened silently.
Yue Tingting was a good girl, and Lu Tianxing was well aware of her love for him, but certain things needed to be made clear. Indecision could cause chaos; if Yue Tingting said they should just remain friends from now on, he wouldn’t mind. You could be fickle, you could be romantic, but you should never let a woman wait in vain, wasting her youth for you. Unable to provide the perfect love Yue Tingting desired, it was better to cut the Gordian knot and part ways than to continue in a hopeless situation.
This was Lu Tianxing’s character, never forcing anyone to like him. Sometimes letting go was the best choice.
Of course, Lu Tianxing wasn’t one to forget old affections for new, nor did he abandon commitments easily. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have stormed into White Tiger Hall alone out of anger for Rose, wiping it clean, nor would he have shielded Bai Zhiqing with his body from a lethal bullet. Knowing that going to Hang City was fraught with danger, he still willingly accompanied Lin Qianru back.
Having experienced so much life and death made Lu Tianxing adopt a laissez-faire attitude towards life, unconstrained by societal norms.
Sharing one man among several women is something any woman might find unbearable.
Hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Yue Tingting looked pained and fell into silence. She was just an ordinary girl whose only dream was to one day walk hand-in-hand into marriage with the man she loved, not to share him with other women, never able to step into the light of day, always hiding in the shadows.
