Gong Yimo didnât expect that there was another layer of reason behind all this, but was he right? Gong Yimo thought about it carefully and found that Jin Yunâ¦â¦ really knew her well.
She was a coward when it came to love, itâs not entirely correctâ¦â¦ Sheâs just afraid of the trouble that comes with it, of being betrayed after giving it her all, heartbreaking moments, her feelings being used and manipulated, torturing each other and being emotionally exhaustedâ¦â¦
She would rather that love not exist in this world!
â¦â¦Instead of asking for trouble and entangling herself in a relationship, she could do so much more!
Also, does love really even exist in this world? She sneered, all the successful people, who were in their 30s and 40s, can they still say I love you to their partner? If theyâre still on good terms, then thatâs called family love; if theyâre on bad terms, they can even turn into enemies.
Thinking of this, Gong Yimo shook her head again, gosh, sheâs overthinking this again.
Maybe unconditional love does exist in this world, but she doesnât think that sheâll be lucky enough to experience it.
It was like a very tempting candy. Sheâll be fine if she doesnât pick it up, but once she picks it up and happily unwraps the candy, what if it was poison inside?
People are unpredictable, who can even be 100% sure?
âSince you know me so wellâ¦â¦â Gong Yimoâs throat felt dry, she paused, and looked him in the eye calmly and confusedly.
âIf you know me so well, why are you here? Why did you show up in front of me?
Her words, cruel and harsh, but it was the truth. If Jin Yun knew her well, that she is someone who will not fall for anyone, why is he taking a step forward again? Wouldnât it be nice if things just stayed as before?
Jin Yun smiled bitterly, âDo you remember what you said to me before?â
Gong Yimo looked up at him. She had told him many things, but she didnât know which one he was referring to now.
Jin Yunâs gaze fell elsewhere, showing his perfect side profile.
âIn the past, whenever I did something and failed again and again at it, until I felt hopeless and didnât have the courage to try again, you would tell me with a smile, to try again, maybe a miracle might happenâ¦â¦?â
Gong Yimo, who was listening, suddenly felt flustered. At that moment, he had already held Gong Yimoâs hand, which was on the table.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âI know itâs hard to impress you, and I also know that you wonât fall for anyone, but what if? What if a miracle happens? I donât believe that I donât have a chance at all, so Iâll stand firm on my ground! Even if you reject me once, or even a hundred or a thousand times, all I need is one chance! Just one chance!â
âIâ¦â¦Iâm not worth itâ¦â¦â Gong Yimo was so frightened that she wanted to withdraw her hand when he did this.
âYouâre worth it!â
With Jin Yunâs burning gaze, âYou are worth itâ¦â¦ Do you remember that you were the one who saved me, I was exchanged by my father for a thousand horses, and you were the one who rescued me from that disgusting man!â You rebuilt my completely shattered hope towards life! You saved my mother and saved me from being disfigured!â
As he said this, he forcefully turned Gong Yimoâs palm over and held it in front of her, there was a light pink scar on it.
âDo you see thisâ¦â¦this is the evidence! Back then, this was the hand you used! You grabbed the dagger that was about to slash towards my face! At that moment, you captured my heart and had never let go ever since!â
Gong Yimo got up suddenly and backed away, as if Jin Yun was some monster.
