272: Chapter 217: That Man, Always Making Women Unable to Resist_1 272: Chapter 217: That Man, Always Making Women Unable to Resist_1 In H City, Lu Yinchu stared at the disconnected telephone in a daze, somewhat surprised.
She was expected to get angry, but he didnât anticipate the streak of petulance in her reaction.
He sighed, put away his phone, his emotions a complex mix.
He never wanted to bind her with their shared past, but he found that he was not as confident as he had thought.
In the face of love, he was just a trembling beggar.
Yet if the person he begged was Nanxi, he was willing to grovel.
He was willing, heart and soul.
When his phone rang again, he had just settled into his car.
Recognizing the number, he squinted his eyes, put on his headphones, and answered.
âYinchu, youâre putting me in a difficult position!â the woman on the other end of the line said helplessly.
âBut youâre the only one who can help me, Guan La.
I donât want to owe anyone anything!â
Owe someone?
Guan La smirked.
In the world of relationships, who owed who was meaningless, it was all a matter of willing courtship and willing enduranceâ¦
But Lu Yinchu was a man too emotional.
He always carried the burden of responsibility, even when he arguably owed nobody anything.
âI can only try my best!â
âThank you!â
âDonât thank me yet.
I may not be able to help you.
And considering my intuition, I doubt she will accept your offer!â
âWhether she accepts it or not is her choice, whether I give it or not is my principle!â
â¦
After hanging up, Guan La frowned.
What was she doing, getting caught up for the sake of a man?
Was it because of deep friendship?
She didnât think that was the case.
So was there still some expectation in her heart?
She had repressed such thoughts and dared not entertain them anymore!
Perhaps all that was left was pity.
This man always drove women into a frenzy, compelling them to brave fire and water for his sake!
â¦
At the hospital, Guan La pushed the door open to see a woman calmly reading a book on the bed.
Upon seeing Guan La at the doorway, Han Qing paused, closed the book and greeted her with a faint smile, âYouâre here!â
Guan La nodded, âYes, I came to see you.â
Guan La approached the bedside and sat down, smiling at Han Qing, âAre you feeling better?
You look quite well!â
Han Qing smiled back, âIâm okay.
Iâll be discharged tomorrow!â
âUh-huh.â Guan La nodded, âDonât be so foolish next time.
You should know whoâs worth it!â
âGuan Laâ¦â Han Qing interrupted Guan La and took a deep breath, âWhether itâs worth it or not, I donât care.
This is my choice, and I blame myself.
I have failed to defend and earn his regard all these yearsâitâs my incompetence!â
âNo!â Guan La frowned, unsure how to comfort and explainâwhen confronted with love, she herself clung to a certain commitment just like Han Qing.
Yet she was more practical than Han Qing because love was never her everything.
âHan Qing, over all these years, weâve both witnessed Yinchuâs stubborn persistence.
Especially since heâs such an outstanding and dazzling man, itâs hard to believe he can be so devoted.
A devotion so palpable, itâs heartbreaking.â
Guan La sighed, âIn this world, some men are like thatâseemingly within reach, yet so elusive.
After all these years of persistence, I have come to understand; how is it, that you still havenât?
Initially, he hadnât found the woman of his dreams.
You stood by him, and I unconditionally supported you.
Love is suchâthereâs always one waiting, and one wandering.
If he, the wanderer, ever tires, he might turn back to see youâ¦
This was always my hope, that you could accompany him through the rest of his life.â
ââ¦But now, he has found that womanâ¦â Guan La paused, âThe truth is, Iâve met her, sheâs a likeable girl.
To have her by Yinchuâs side, brings me joy, and I can see that joy on Yinchuâs face.
Han Qing, love is about generosity, about hoping the one you love lives a better, happier life.
Donât let your obsession hurt the one you love, or yourself.
Do you understand?â
Han Qing turned her head away, her eyes reddening slightly.
Guan La sighed and said nothing, took a document from her bag, and handed it to her.
