"Miss, don’t you think it’s because he truly loves you?"
Yan Xixi was taken aback. Wan Donglin loves ? Is that even possible?
From beginning to end, it had only ever been a transaction. Whenever she thought back on it during the quiet hours of the night, she would feel a pang of sha for her utter shalessness back then. Deep down, she was always too embarrassed to admit it. If she hadn’t been completely cornered, with no other way out, she would never have made such a choice—not even if it ant her life.
Even if she used the excuse that "Wan Donglin was just a bachelor back then, and their relationship could almost be considered boyfriend-girlfriend," even if she hid behind the fig leaf of him being an "ex-boyfriend," she still felt ashad.
At the very least, Heaven knew, Earth knew, he knew, and she herself knew the real score.
How could such a relationship involve love, or the lack of it?
And besides, she *had* been loved before; she knew what true love was. Take Huang Xiaojue, for instance: she had felt no sha in being completely supported by him, even to the extent of sharing the property rights to a house. Any act of receiving a man’s wealth with marriage as the ultimate goal was perfectly justifiable!
After a long silence, she did not utter a word.
The other party sent another ssage: "Miss, have you fallen asleep?"
She suddenly beca angry and shouted into her phone, "Hey, can you stop typing? Can’t you just say sothing?"
"That’s odd. Why can’t I type?"
"I want to hear you say sothing. It’s so boring with only talking."
Wan Donglin gave a wry smile. If I were to use voice chat, wouldn’t she recognize imdiately? Could I be that foolish?
"Miss, why are you changing the subject? Let’s talk about your ex-boyfriend. You always used to say he was a scoundrel, didn’t you? Now he’s trying to clear his na. Do you believe him or not?"
Yan Xixi was also puzzled. Did Wan Donglin go to all this trouble to talk to just to clear his own na? Or rather, why would he even need to clear his na?
"From my perspective, your ex-boyfriend wasn’t that bad. He never really hard you in any substantial way, right?"
She retorted angrily, "What do you know? Don’t make assumptions if you don’t know the situation."
"HAHA, Miss, are you angry again? You’re the one who said your ex-boyfriend wouldn’t fight back or talk back when berated. Isn’t that quite good? HAHA, I actually feel sorry for him. He seems like a decent fellow. He might even be on par with ..."
Yan Xixi rolled her eyes.
"By the way, Miss, how do you think your ex-boyfriend and I compare?"
Yan Xixi was startled. Wan Donglin compared to this boorish man persona? I’ve never thought about this before.
He typed enthusiastically, "Go on, Miss, tell . I can help you assess the situation. We’re strangers with no conflicting interests, so what I say will be absolutely objective and fair."
She replied slowly, "Well, he definitely can’t match up to you..."
Wan Donglin’s typing paused. He was amused. HA, what does that an?
"Actually, I don’t know how to describe it. Let’s just say he’s a typical second-generation rich kid who relies on his family’s business. He solves everything with money. Without his family, he’s nothing... But you, you’re wise—much more sagacious than him..."
Sagacious! What a shock!
Wan Donglin truly didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
"Moreover, he has many bad habits. He’s both fickle and promiscuous. Even if the rumors about the Exchange Despair Club were completely baseless, his private life is hardly comndable. Boorish Man, I imagine your life isn’t nearly as ssy as his..."
Wan Donglin couldn’t bear it any longer. "Miss, you keep going on about the Exchange Despair Club. Does that an you were only willing to be with him and no one else? Are you saying you fell in love with him from the very start? If that wasn’t the reason, you wouldn’t have left him, right?"
"All I can do is give a dry ’heh’."
"What do you an?"
"Let’s put it this way, Boorish Man, even if I fell in love with you, I would never fall in love with him."
"Why not?"
"At least you’re more decent than him. I don’t consider myself so kind of saint who can reform those promiscuous types, so I prefer to keep my distance."
"TSK, TSK. Miss, can I take that as a complint?"
"I was just making a comparison. What’s there to be honored about? Obviously, the one I love is still my boyfriend. Dream on."
"HAHA, you love your boyfriend? But do you know if your boyfriend loves you just as much?"
"Of course. He loves far more than I love him."
Wan Donglin was furious. "Miss, where does all that confidence co from? If your boyfriend truly loved you, he would have overco all family opposition to marry you by now. But he still hasn’t even ntioned marriage, has he?"
