Gong Xue’er was drying her hair as she glanced at Lu Haotian. "So? My swimming skills aren’t bad, right? I rember back then when you tried to teach Xia Yangyang to swim, no matter what, she couldn’t learn. Instead, I picked it up just by watching from the sidelines."
It was true that Xia Yangyang’s swimming was taught by him.
But Xia Yangyang had drowned in water as a child, so she naturally had a fear of it.
In the end, after teaching her for ages, she still couldn’t even learn the basics of floating in water.
However, back then, Gong Xue’er had indeed been present.
Gong Xue’er hadn’t gone into the water; she was rely standing nearby holding Xia Yangyang’s clothes.
Lu Haotian gave a cold snort. "Yangyang’s greatest mistake back then was befriending a backstabbing snake like you as her best friend."
Gong Xue’er laughed. "Honestly, I’m much smarter than Xia Yangyang. She should actually thank . If it wasn’t for , how would she have managed to climb so high and land Gu Qichen?"
Lu Haotian said, "Only soone inherently despicable would consistently treat relationships as climbing high and stepping low, always seeing others as a way to rise. Yangyang, in my heart, is worthy of any outstanding man in this world. She’s nothing like you."
Gong Xue’er burst out laughing. "I’m inherently despicable? Lu Haotian, you’re right. I wasn’t born with the kind of privileged family you and Xia Yangyang have, but who gets to choose things like that? You were simply born luckier than . But rember, I’ve worked much harder than you. Look at now—what I have is far beyond what you all possess."
Lu Haotian’s face seed to show a trace of impatience. "Gong Xue’er, let’s leave the past behind. I have no interest in your life story. What exactly did you call here for?"
Gong Xue’er smiled faintly.
She turned around and walked to the other door in the room.
It was a changing room.
Gong Xue’er didn’t bother to avoid Lu Haotian’s presence. She simply stood in front of the mirror and changed her clothes.
Lu Haotian frowned.
Gong Xue’er changed into a sexy silk nightdress and turned around.
She was barefoot and slowly walked toward Lu Haotian.
She placed one hand on Lu Haotian’s chest and finally spoke. "Haotian, you must have felt it too. Xia Yangyang has changed. Even though she lost her mory, her feelings for Gu Qichen still linger. Surely you didn’t miss it—Xia Yangyang now looks at Gu Qichen with love in her eyes, just like how I look at you."
Gong Xue’er stopped speaking for a mont.
Her gaze fell into Lu Haotian’s eyes.
Lu Haotian appeared to be lost in thought.
Though he didn’t want to admit it, what Gong Xue’er said was true.
Xia Yangyang’s gaze toward Gu Qichen had indeed changed.
Gong Xue’er’s hand slipped under Lu Haotian’s shirt.
She pressed her cheek affectionately against his chest. "Haotian, I’ve said it countless tis already—you are my entire youth, my greatest dream in this life. Call shaless or despicable if you want, but every single thing I’ve done has been for you. Wealth, glory, even the title of Mrs. Wilson—none of it matters compared to you. Haotian, you’re my everything."
Gong Xue’er seed to be lost in her own infatuation.
She even tiptoed to try to kiss Lu Haotian’s lips.
Lu Haotian snapped back to reality.
He abruptly shoved Gong Xue’er away in disgust.
The force of Lu Haotian’s movent was substantial.
Gong Xue’er stumbled backward, nearly falling to the ground.
Her expression turned sour. He had never shown her even a shred of gentlemanly conduct.
