Chapter 644. Disappointed (2)
When Qi Lei heard this, his eyes darkened. The pain that he had buried deep in his heart suddenly resurfaced like a surge of insanity. He wanted to go up to her and give her a hug to tell her that he missed her and that he thought she was gone. He wanted her to know that he had suffered and struggled.
However, seeing her right now, all the urge that gathered in chest unexpectedly dissolved. He did not say anything. Instead, he just watched her quietly as he slowly let go of her shoulders.
Qi Lei endured the anguish in his heart as he asked bitterly, “Shasha, I’m still as annoying to you as I was before, aren’t I?”
Gu Lingsha gently shook her head as a dazzling smile flashed across her face. “Why do you sell yourself short like that? I’ve told you I’ve always admired you. I also know that your talents aren’t in the least inferior to Qi Feng’s. Haven’t you always said that I’m your muse? I’ve always kept the medal you won in your first competition in my drawer. I see it whenever I pull it open.”
When he heard her mild admonition, Qi Lei’s tensed expression eased a little. He lowered his gaze and his voice became gentler as he said softly, “Turns out you still remember these.”
“Of course, I do. I really cherish all of the good times we’ve had. Ah Feng, you, and Lingtian… all those happy times we’ve had are worth remembering forever.”
Gu Lingsha sighed softly. “Sometimes, I really wish we could go back in time. When I woke up and knew that Lingtian couldn’t have come out of the accident alive, I was really heartbroken. Even though I don’t know what happened then, I think that if it were not for Ah Feng and me, it wouldn’t have turned out like this.”
“I told you Mu Yuchen wouldn’t let you off easily. Since you wanted to leave with Qi Feng, you shouldn’t have agreed to marry Mu Yuchen then. In fact, Mu Yuchen doesn’t love you either, I reckon,” said Qi Lei in a deep voice as he fixed his gaze on Gu Lingsha.
Indeed, once Qi Lei said that, Gu Lingsha’s little face paled again. Faint disappointment and sorrow filled her beautiful eyes, she nodded in resignation. “You’re right. Perhaps, I don’t know why I left with Qi Feng either. Actually, I remember, back then when I said I’d marry Mu Yuchen, I agreed to it willingly and didn’t object. After all, I was his fiancee. My father had always hoped I could marry into the Mu family, but I didn’t think that he would be such a cruel person. Even Lingtian…”
