Chapter 301: Chapter 174: The Person I Like

"What do you mean, ’arguing’? That was a breakup, okay!"

Gu Wanting argued her case.

"In the adult world, not talking for a few days means you’re done with each other. For a couple, not talking for a month... what is that if not a breakup? Did you really have to hear the heartless words ’Let’s break up’?"

"So, do you regret it now?"

Chen Hui didn’t waste any more words with Gu Wanting. Her direct question stunned her on the spot. After a moment, she replied with a bitter expression.

"What’s the use of regret? Can regret win Lin Shen back? He probably hates me so much right now he wishes I were dead!"

"Shen has already moved on."

Chen Hui pointed at Gu Wanting’s chest and said in a solemn voice.

"The one who can’t let go now is you!"

"And let me say one more thing. Your current boyfriend is far worse than Lin Shen. He’s not an honest person, either. If you insist on being with him, you’re going to suffer for it sooner or later!"

’How could I not know?’

Gu Wanting knew perfectly well that her mother was telling the truth.

From the moment she found out Cheng Yue had been going to bars behind her back, she knew they would break up sooner or later.

But right now, Gu Wanting needed Cheng Yue, so she could tolerate it for the time being.

Once she no longer needed him, the relationship would likely come to an end.

Seeing her daughter lost in thought, Chen Hui couldn’t help but sigh again.

"Tingting, think about it carefully. Everything I’m saying is for your own good, to keep you from going down the wrong path. Modu is a city of glamour and vice; don’t let temptation blind you. Only by staying grounded can you live a good life."

"I know, Mom!"

Gu Wanting pressed her lips together, her thoughts in a tangle.

「Meanwhile.」

Once they were out of her parents’ sight, Gu Wanqing finally mustered her courage, tightly grabbing Lin Shen’s hand and saying with a giggle,

"Lin Shen, have you missed me lately~?"

"Of course, I have."

Lin Shen pinched Gu Wanqing’s cheek and chuckled.

"I’ve also been thinking about your cooking. It’s delicious."

"Then I’ll come over to your place to hang out some other day, and I can cook for you again~"

"Okay, but I’ve moved."

’Moved?’

Gu Wanqing was taken aback.

"Where did you move to?"

"I’ll take you there when the time comes."

Lin Shen gave a mysterious smile.

"This time, the kitchen is definitely big enough for you to work your magic!"

"Oh, so you moved into a bigger place, Lin Shen!"

This news stirred something in Gu Wanqing. Along with her happiness, she felt a swirl of complicated emotions.

Lin Shen moving meant he had made peace with the past and completely forgotten about her sister.

’Does that mean... I have a chance now?’

Gu Wanqing silently pondered the possibility.

’If I really were to get together with Lin Shen, there would be so many difficulties to face.’

’First, would my parents agree? Second, how to handle my relationship with my sister would also be a key issue.’

’The first part might be okay. After all, Mom and Dad already showed they liked Lin Shen back in the car.’

’But the second part would be trouble.’

’Gu Wanqing didn’t dare to imagine how her sister would react if she found out about her and Lin Shen...’

’A huge fight would be unavoidable.’

SIGH—!

’It’s a long and arduous road ahead!’

Gu Wanqing sighed inwardly. Lin Shen seemed to notice her internal conflict and chuckled, probing gently.

"Qingqing, is there anyone you like?"

’Someone I like?’

Lin Shen’s words made Gu Wanqing’s heart race. Feeling flustered, she couldn’t bring herself to look him in the eye.

’Did he figure out what I’m thinking?’

’If that’s the case...’

Gu Wanqing bit her lip, mustered her courage, and looked up at Lin Shen, her beautiful eyes shimmering with an astonishing light.

"Yes! There is someone I like!"
