Chapter 544: 544 He Chose Yan Yue_1

The man laughed, “Buying groceries, can you carry them all back by yourself? Get on, I’ll take you and help you carry everything.”

“No need…”

“I eat here every day, you’ve got to let me do something for you, or I’d just be sponging off you.” Gong Shaoxun said with a devilish smile, not allowing her to refuse his offer of help.

Jian Yufei grumbled inwardly, so even you acknowledge that it’s not okay to come here for free meals every day. If you understand that, why don’t you stop coming?

As if sensing her thoughts, Gong Shaoxun leaned in, his handsome lips curving up in a smile: “It was grandma who invited me. Don’t believe me, you can ask her, she enjoys my company. Yufei, get on now, we need to buy the groceries so grandma can cook.”

“Yufei, you go with Shaoxun to buy groceries, let him help you carry them back. Don’t go alone, they would be too heavy for you to carry.” Granny Xue, who had overheard their conversation, peeked out from the living room, smiling and urging her on.

Left with no choice, Jian Yufei seated herself on the motorcycle, grasping the rack behind her.

Gong Shaoxun put the only helmet on her head, flashing a triumphant smile, he asked her to hold on tight before starting the bike and taking off.

He didn’t wear the helmet but had given it to Jian Yufei to wear. Although he had great confidence in his riding skills, he didn’t want to expose the woman behind him to any danger.

“Yufei, your name sounds so beautiful.” Gong Shaoxun said, riding the bike slowly. His hair was flying in the wind, his pleasant voice floating into her ears.

He never told her he liked her, but she could feel his affection.

Jian Yufei sighed silently.

Gong Shaoxun, you don’t know, Yufei is not my real name. You also don’t know that I have been married before, and had a past.

You are all young, happy, and cheerful, while my world is devoid of any cheerfulness or passion.

Even though I am envious of your carefree lives, we belong to different worlds, and could never blend in together.@@novelbin@@

Thinking of this, Jian Yufei shifted her gaze to the flowers along the road, feeling slightly better.

“Yufei, do you know? No one ever rode on my motorcycle before. You are the first person, and the first woman to ride my bike.” Gong Shaoxun turned his head, his bright eyes glancing at her. He was hoping this indirect confession would help her understand his feelings for her.

Jian Yufei remained silent, not a woman of many words; she found it difficult to articulate the proper response.

Just then, her phone rang, a text was received.

The only people who had her number were Xiao Lang and Granny Xue, and only Xiao Lang would text her.

Jian Yufei took out her phone and sure enough, it was a message from Xiao Lang.

She opened the text to find a copied news article.

The news was concise, but important to her.

Turns out Ruan Tianling’s mother had brought Yan Yue to their family home and publicly acknowledged Yan Yue as Ruan’s wife.

Even though Ruan Tianling hadn’t made any statements himself, didn’t his mother’s actions represent his stance too?

Jian Yufei thought she would be elated, but she felt surprisingly calm, and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Perhaps Ruan Tianling was angry about her leaving, and that’s why he ultimately chose Yan Yue in the end.

This worked out for the best, if he chose Yan Yue, he would give up on her and forget her.
