Chapter 127 Can you... like me?
Yu Tingsheng had actually always wanted to tell Xia Jiani that he had fallen in love with her when they were in high school, but he had never dared to say it. Unexpectedly, his best friend took the lead.
This secret has been hidden in his heart for several years. Every time the two of them go on a date, although he is usually by his side, he can only watch the beloved woman and his good brother show off their affection.
Until that time, Xia Jiani and Tang Sheng had a fight, and Xia Jiani came to him to drink and talk, but he didn't take the opportunity to take her.
Xia Jiani later felt very guilty about Tang Sheng because of what happened that night. This feeling of guilt reached its peak on the day Tang Sheng died suddenly.
What's even worse is that even the child is not Tang Sheng's biological child.
She has been living alone abroad for these years and has never been able to accept what happened in the past. Only recently did her son gradually figure it out and wanted to come back and take the child away.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I arrived, I heard about a lot of bad things that Yu Tingsheng had done over the years.
"What did you say? Chenchen is my son?" Yu Tingsheng's face suddenly darkened.
"I'm sorry Asheng." Xia Jiani burst into tears.
"A Sheng is gone, but it's Yu Chen. He is the one who needs you the most now, and me. I have always liked you since high school. The women I have found are all similar to you, but No matter how similar they are to you, they can never replace your place in my heart."
"Xia Jiani, I... love you." Yu Tingsheng trembled and said the words that had been hidden deep in his heart for many years.
Xia Jiani was shocked.
To this day, she still thinks that that night was caused by the two of them having drunken and sexual intercourse.
"Do you know the truth now? Are you still here to listen to this man reminiscing with his old lover?" Huo Beimo said to Wen Jiu who was standing aside.
Not only Wen Jiu was shocked by what happened to Yu Tingsheng, but even Huo Beimo didn't expect that this guy, in the name of raising a son for his dead good brother, showed that he was unusually kind, but in the end, he actually gave it to the so-called good brother. A shameful hat.
Wen Jiu was originally very stressed because Yu Tingsheng had saved him when he was a child and now confessed his love repeatedly at all costs, but now he just feels that he has gone too far.
Damn it, she is the only one who remembers Yu Tingsheng's help when he was a child. This man probably only remembers their experiences when they were children and doesn't take her seriously at all, so that's why he plays with her like this, right?
As Hobeimo said, there was really no need for her to stay at the scene.
Wen Jiu said nothing and turned back to the suite.
There were two rooms in the suite. After Wen Jiu returned to her room, she went straight into her own room and lay down, without even saying a word to Huo Beimo, or even giving him a look.
Huo Beimo followed her into her room, pretended to close the curtains for her, and turned on the lights.
During this period, Wen Jiu still ignored him, as if he didn't exist.
Huo Beimo really couldn't stand this feeling of being ignored, and a surge of anger rushed into his chest. He walked to the edge of the bed and looked down at her with dull eyes.
Her face turned pale, as if all her energy had been sucked out, and her whole body was in a very weak state.
"Are you that sad?" Huo Beimo asked sourly.
Wen Jiu raised his eyelids and glanced at him. Without replying, he turned over and turned his back to Huo Beimo.
His handsome face instantly fell.
Does this woman care about Yu Tingsheng that much? Discovering that he is just Xia Jiani's replacement, he is so sad that he can't speak?
"A scum like Yu Tingsheng deserves to be so sad for you?" Huo Beimo's voice was not loud, but his tone was as cautious as thunder.
"When did I say that I was sad because of him?" Wen Jiu felt confused.
She turned around and stared at Huo Beimo with a resentful face.
"You're not sad because of him, so why are you giving me such a bad look?" Huo Beimo asked directly.
"It's not because of you..." Wen Jiu hesitated.
Because he couldn't even say that he liked her, and he didn't even want to pretend, which really made her sad.
Especially after what happened to Yu Tingsheng, she felt even more sad. She had thought that at least Yu Tingsheng didn't mind her family background and really liked her, but it turned out that she was just a substitute for the daughter of a rich family.
Although Wen Jiu didn't know who Xia Jiani was, he knew from the way she was dressed and the fact that she could freely enter the VIP area of the luxury cruise ship that her family must be a match for these young men.
From this point of view, it is impossible for a wealthy young man to like Cinderella.
Huo Beimo didn't even pretend, so it was even less likely that he would like her.
"What's wrong with me? It's not like I'm dating everywhere?" Huo Beimo was confused.
"Whether you have a date or not, what does it have to do with me? I'm not your real wife, can I care about you?"
"Then why are you treating me with a black face?"
"Similarly, I am not your real wife, and grandma also knows the truth. There is no need for us to communicate when no one is around." She met his cold gaze.
Seeing that Huo Beimo was speechless, she directly pulled the quilt over her head and hid her whole body under the quilt.
Since Huo Beimo doesn't like her, why is he still being aggressive? Doesn't she just want to be alone now?
The room fell into silence, and he didn't know how long it took. He finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked tremblingly: "Wen Jiu, do you have someone you like?"
The slender body wrapped in the quilt was obviously stiff.
Maybe it was because the quilt was so stuffy, or maybe it was because the shame in her heart seemed to be seen through, which made her blush.
Why did Huo Beimo suddenly ask this? Could it be that she discovered something?
Was it because he didn't want to say he liked her in the restaurant just now, so she reacted violently, making him suspicious?
Thinking of this, Wen Jiu quickly opened the quilt and sat up straight, trying to make his expression look more natural.
She looked directly into Huo Beimo's seemingly sad eyes and said disapprovingly: "No, I don't have anyone I like."
"Can you... like me?" he asked.
Wen Jiu was stunned.
I have known Huo Beimo for so long, and for the first time, I saw humility in his eyes.
How could a man like Huo Beimo have such a humble look? Did she see it wrong?
"How could I like you? Stop joking." Wen Jiu waved his hand.
The more you like someone, the more you avoid suspicion, for fear that the other party will find out your thoughts.
"But what should I do? I seem to have fallen in love with you." Huo Beimo stared into her eyes.
He originally thought that no matter what, he would have to wait for Wen Jiu to fall in love with him before expressing his feelings, but he seemed to like this thing and couldn't help it.
Seeing her ignoring him would even make him irritable and restless.
It turns out that if you really like someone, your principles will be broken bit by bit. Suddenly, I understood why my father loved him so humbly.
He vowed not to follow his father's footsteps, so why didn't he control it?
Wen Jiu blinked blankly.
It was like hearing hallucinations or dreaming.
