"It’s nothing, just not in a good mood." Ariel put down her phone, turned around, and looked at Xu Ke with bright eyes, saying, "Won have those few days every month, you’ll get used to it."
"Then I’ll make you so brown sugar water, it’s said to be good for your body." Xu Ke, hearing Ariel’s words, stood up from the bed, wanting to prepare the brown sugar water for Ariel but was stopped by her.
"I’m not Chinese, I don’t drink that, and this thing will pass in a few days, it’s nothing. By the way, why did you take so long to co back, did sothing happen?" Ariel shifted a bit, looking at Xu Ke as she spoke.
"I went to see Yaoyao, she wasn’t doing well, so I stayed with her a bit longer," Xu Ke explained.
"Then why didn’t you stay with her longer, instead of coming to see , is there sothing you want to say to ?"
Ariel is indeed a very smart and sensitive woman. Faced with Ariel’s words, Xu Ke remained silent.
"Alright, I get it, you have sothing to tell , just say it, I’m all ears. There’s no need to beat around the bush, in my impression, you’re not soone who procrastinates." Ariel leaned back against the headboard, looking at Xu Ke.
Xu Ke nodded, "I do have sothing to tell you, Yaoyao’s not in great shape, so I need to be with her, and I can’t be with you. Plus, she can’t accept what’s between us, so in the coming period, I’m afraid I’ll have to reduce the ti I contact you, and I won’t be seeing you for a while." Xu Ke said honestly.
"Our relationship needs to go underground. I know this will feel wrong to you, that’s why I’m asking for your thoughts. If you still want to be with , we can only et in secret. This must never be known to Yaoyao. If you can’t accept it, I’ll give you enough money to live without worries for the rest of your life, that’s the least I can do for you."
Xu Ke spoke his thoughts to Ariel openly, waiting for her response.
"I understand what you’re thinking, so I’ll tell you mine. I don’t accept the second option you just gave. I like you and want to stay with you, that’s my answer." Ariel looked into Xu Ke’s eyes and bluntly shared her thoughts.
"But I have conditions too. I want to go to China with you. Initially, I wouldn’t have set this condition, but since the dynamics between us have changed, you will have to sneak around to et in the future, and Yaoyao will definitely watch you closely. You won’t have a chance to see abroad anyway, so put by your side. This way, it’ll be easier for us to et, you won’t let see you only once a year, right?"
Ariel spoke sadly yet logically, considering Lin ngyao’s current state, she indeed might be watched more strictly, so Xu Ke thought it over and agreed.
"I’ll buy you a house in China, and whenever I get the chance, I’ll visit you. But you must promise not to be naughty, and not to let Yaoyao discover that there’s still sothing between us." Xu Ke looked seriously into Ariel’s eyes and advised.
"Don’t worry, what you’re concerned about won’t happen. I still want to be with you and don’t want to cause unnecessary trouble to threaten our relationship. Am I such an unreliable person in your eyes?" Ariel asked with a slightly displeased tone.
"Of course not." Xu Ke shook his head with a laugh.
"This matter has wronged you, I’ll make it up to you properly." Xu Ke leaned in to embrace Ariel as he spoke.
"If you can find the ti to visit more, that’s already a big compensation for . You know how much I missed you when you left alone abroad last ti? If it weren’t for the fact I also received an invitation this ti and ca to this island, I wouldn’t know how long it would have taken to see you again." Ariel gently pinched Xu Ke’s waist, speaking with a hint of displeasure.
"It’s my fault, I’ll visit you more often in the future." Xu Ke said with a tone of guilt.
Ariel responded softly, and the two embraced, satisfied with their current relationship, each sighing in their hearts.
But joyful and leisurely tis are always short-lived. Not long after, Xu Ke voluntarily let go of Ariel.
"I have to go to Yaoyao now, take good care of yourself here, eat on ti, and don’t consu cold things these days. I’ll have soone buy you an apartnt in Shangjing, so once you leave this island, you can move in." Xu Ke said to Ariel.
"I know, you can go now." Ariel finally let go of Xu Ke’s neck, affectionately rubbing against it a couple of tis before letting go and waved him off.
Seeing Ariel’s cheerful deanor, Xu Ke felt slightly relieved, picked up his coat, and turned to leave.
As the door shut, Ariel retracted her smile, her aura plunging, her angelic face carrying endless coldness and a mocking smile.
"Do you think playing the sympathy card will make Xu Ke stay? So naive, I bet you never expected I would actually beco closer to both of you, haha." Ariel tightly gripped the blanket over her, laughing in a daze.
anwhile, Lin ngyao opened her eyes to find Xu Ke not by her side, her bright eyes dimming imdiately, a faintly bitter smile on her face. But before she could hold onto that smile for long, the door opened, and Xu Ke walked in with a tray.
"You’re awake. I thought I’d have to wake you up, but your timing is perfect. I just made so seafood porridge and stewed a fish, it’s still steaming hot, see if it suits your taste." Xu Ke placed the items on the bedside table, looking at Lin ngyao.
Lin ngyao looked at the items Xu Ke brought, her face lighting up slightly.
"You must have stewed for a long ti. You can actually buy it, no need to waste ti making it." Lin ngyao said that, but deep down she felt a bit happy, her mouth corner slightly lifting where Xu Ke couldn’t see.
"Making food for you is not a waste of ti, and I didn’t just go out to buy these things, I also went to see Ariel." Xu Ke said as he served himself a bowl of porridge.
The hand holding the spoon in Lin ngyao’s hand froze mid-air, the lifted corners of her mouth not having ti to drop, leaving them carved on her face like mocking her self-indulgence.
"I went to see Ariel to sort things out, I’ve cut off my current relationship with her, and I also gave her so money." Xu Ke said while stirring the porridge in his bowl.
