Chapter 45 - 045: Handsome enough to charm young girls at any time
"It hurts so much..." Lai Yang, having never suffered much in her life, cried petulantly, her face buried in Ning Guiwan’s embrace. Ning Guiwan stroked her head. "Don’t be so impulsive in the future."
"I just got so angry..." Lai Yang choked out, her voice muffled against Ning Guiwan. "Of all people Quan Xiangru could cheat with, he had to go for the one who stole your dad! And then there’s Chen Qinghan. Stealing your dad wasn’t enough for her; she had to steal your boyfriend too! You liked that Quan so much..."
"I know you must be very upset..." Lai Yang lifted her tearful eyes, full of sympathy for her dear friend. Ning Guiwan gently wiped away the tears from the corner of Lai Yang’s eyes.
Memories of Father’s different attitudes towards me and the Ning Rongyue sisters surfaced in my mind... And that past romance. Not many people knew about my relationship with Quan Xiangru. Even Father only found out later. His reaction wasn’t concern about whether I would be heartbroken or upset; instead, he told me to stay away from Quan Xiangru to avoid destroying Ning Qinghan’s marriage.
Holding Lai Yang, Ning Guiwan’s arms slowly tightened. After a while, she began to smile faintly, her voice light and seemingly nonchalant. "If someone can be taken away from me, it means they were never mine to begin with. There’s no reason to be sad."
"Then you don’t like Quan Xiangru anymore?" Lai Yang asked, her eyes brimming with tears.
Ning Guiwan smiled, her tone conveying a sense of release. "I stopped liking him a long time ago."
