Chapter 94: Heartbreak
Sun Chan turned her back to their direction, even though she didn’t want to listen, she occasionally caught some of their conversation.
The woman said to Gu Juntao, "This is the last time we meet, and afterwards we shouldn’t meet again."
"What are you talking about?" Gu Juntao set her chopsticks down with a cheerful smile, saying, "Don’t overthink it, I’ve said it. No matter what the problem is, the two of us will face it together."
The woman glanced at Gu Juntao, then pressed her lips together and said, "Stop joking around. We are completely unsuitable for each other, you should know this; you have a promising future, I’m older than you... and I’m a widow."
Her husband was also a soldier before, but later he died during a mission, leaving her widowed. They met through work, and their feelings quickly warmed, leading them to be together.
Gu Juntao remained silent, his expression very serious.
He knew what kind of people his parents were, especially his mother, who was keen for him to find someone who could benefit his career.
The woman saw the difficult expression on Gu Juntao’s face and said, "You’ve helped me a lot before. Even if you break up with me directly, I won’t blame you, rest assured. I won’t make a fuss, I know in my heart I’m unworthy of you..." Her voice was tinged with a sob as she finished speaking.
"Don’t say things like that, you’re such a wonderful person, I know better than anyone. Yang Hongying, listen to me, in this life, I will only marry you. If I can’t marry you, I’d rather remain single forever." His words were loud enough that everyone in the restaurant heard, and some couldn’t help but laugh.
Yang Hongying was very anxious, holding onto his arm: "Stop it!"
Gu Juntao ignored her and grabbed her hand: "Listen to me, from the very first day we were together, I knew who you were. I still chose to be with you, which means I don’t care. This is the new society! What my mom says doesn’t count. You’re coming home with me tomorrow."
