Chapter 613: Cupid (2)
Tianxin forced a smile, realizing that Yue was looking at her like she wanted her dead.
However, contrary to her expectations, the girl suddenly smiled and unclenched her fists.
"Linhou is the most important man in my life." She spoke out of the blue, facing Tianxin. "He is the brother I didn’t get to have and my best friend and... I love him."
She shut her eyes as if assessing the words that had just left her mouth, but she didn’t take them back.
"I love him more than life itself. So, if you don’t truly love him, let him go before he falls too hard. I don’t want him to be hurt." She uncontrollably held Tianxin’s hand with her own trembling one.
"Actually..." Tianxin wanted nothing more than to reveal the truth, that she wasn’t in an actual relationship with Linhou and that the girl Linhou actually loved was her. However, it was not her secret to tell so she nodded.
Yue bit her bottom lip. She obviously wanted him to be happy. Why did it hurt her so much now that he had a girlfriend?
She couldn’t take it anymore, so as soon as they went back to the house, she left Tianxin and the others in the living room and ran all the way upstairs and locked herself in her room.
She had the strong urge to peek at them and know what her parents thought of Tianxin—why did it even matter so much? However, she knew that it would only shatter her heart if she saw her mother smile so sweetly at another girl. So she slumped onto her bed and waited until she heard the rumble of a car engine from outside. She slid out of bed and peeked out through her window and left her room when she was certain that it was Linhou’s car about to leave.
As soon as she got downstairs, Xiaoshi looked relieved. "There you are, Yue. Could you take this to Tianxin? She forgot it." She placed a phone in her hand and herded her out the door, and before Yue knew it, she was on her way to stop Linhou’s car.
The phone vibrated in her hand and she instinctively looked at the screen, only to see a message from Mumu on the lockscreen.
