Chapter 27: Some Sort Of Proposal
"I want to go home." Surprising Xin Yi, Cheng Luiying declared, ’I’m almost certain my mom is looking for me.’
"Even after everything she’s done, will you go back to her?" Xin Yi is was aware of the truth. She fully confessed to him.
*Flashback*
"What do you want me to say? My mom told me she’ll leave if I didn’t end our relationship." She cried out in frustration through her tears, ’That doesn’t sound logical at all!’
All the actions of her mom over the last five years returned quickly, despite all her attempts to push them out of memory.
She mulled over how quickly her mother had changed. One moment, her mom loved her; the next, it was as if that love never existed, and she found herself helpless.
She naively presumed obeying her mother’s silly demand might regain her affection, but soon recognized it was a dumb notion.
’What did she do?’ asked Xin Yi, as his face grew more stern.
He warned, ’Answer me, Cheng Luiying, or I’ll take you home and stop bothering with you.’
Nervously, she swallowed hard. Trusting that he meant what he said, she revealed the truth to him.
With tears brimming in her beautiful eyes, she sobbed, "My mom, I have." Recalling what she had gone through caused her to feel turmoil in her heart.
