1102: Chapter 1102: Stupidity (6) 1102: Chapter 1102: Stupidity (6) Gu Qinghengâs hands, clasped behind his back, couldnât help but tighten into fists.
He struggled to restrain himself from snatching the hand chaser away.
How could she be worthy of wearing his motherâs belongings?
âCousin, I know I shouldnât have begged Chai Huan to send an urgent message, but without doing so, how could I have seen you so soon?
Ever since I heard you might still be alive, Iâve been unable to wait even a momentâŠâ Dou Xuemeiâs expression was filled with grievance, âWhen Chai Huan was injured, I happened to be thereâŠ
I knew she was someone you valued.
If cousin were alive, you surely wouldnât want to see her in trouble.
Later, when cousin sent the message, Chai Huan was so joyous and excited that she couldnât sleep all night.
I noticed, and I got down on my knees and begged herâŠâ
âMiss Cousin, youâre also worried about the young masterâŠâ On hearing Dou Xuemei continually speaking in her defense, Chai Huan naturally felt grateful and hastily spoke up, âThese past years, you were also having a hard timeâŠâ
Gu Qinghengâs eyes slightly narrowed.
âCousinâŠâ Dou Xuemeiâs gaze lingered on Gu Qingheng, full of longing, âI donât want to leave you.
Take me with you, please, IâŠâ
âDou Xuemei.â Gu Qingheng took a deep breath, âThe present me is no longer the me from the past, but whether in the past or now, Iâve never harbored any romantic feelings toward you, so stop wasting your affection on meâŠâ He paused for a moment, âIf thereâs any sentiment of kinship to speak of, I wonât hold todayâs events against youâŠâ
âWhy?â Dou Xuemei seemed to crumble, âYou werenât like this before.
You were always so kind to me, and you even taught me how to read and write, youâŠâ
âYou were only three years old at that time.â Gu Qingheng finished speaking and looked up, his smile faint, âAnd now, I have someone I like.â With that, he truly walked away without looking back.
âYoung MasterâŠâ Chai Huan, too, was falling apart, âChai Huanâs life and death belong to the young masterâŠâ As she spoke, she suddenly drew a dagger and attempted to thrust it into her own chest.
But before the blade could touch her skin, there was a clang of metal and the dagger was kicked away; Chai Huan, too, was sent tumbling to the ground.
Gu Yao retracted his foot and steadied himself: âChai Huan, do you intend to threaten Big Brother with your death?â
âIâŠâ Chai Huan hurriedly shook her head.
âFoolish.
Do you think you can threaten our master?â Gu Yao sneered, âIf you truly wish to die, wait until the young master isnât around.
That would be a true act of contrition.â With that, he turned and walked away.
Dou Xuemei watched the retreating figures, her hands clenched tight together, her nails piercing her palms without her noticing.
He said he has someone he likes?
How could it be?
How is it possible?
Chai Huan felt utterly desolate.
The young master truly didnât want her anymore.
What should she do now?
Really follow Dou Xuemei?
No.
She belonged to the young master.
Ever since she was little, she was trained to stay by the young masterâs side.
Watching the brilliant and dazzling young master, all four of them were delighted, because they knew, in the future, they were not only to protect the young master but also to become concubines in his household.
Never had she imagined that such a drastic change would come, and their reunion would end like thisâŠ
No, she couldnât leave the young master.
She must stay by his side, even if it meant death, she would rather die by the young masterâs handâŠ
With these thoughts, Chai Huan quickly got up and chased after him.
âCome back.â Dou Xuemei suddenly shouted sternly.
Chai Huan turned back in surprise.
âIf you chase after him now, do you think cousin will keep you?â Dou Xuemei looked at Chai Huan.
