Chapter 316 Extension of the Probation Period
Mengyu endured the soreness of being hugged too tightly: "Brother Gu, please relax a bit."
At this moment, Gu Dongxing seemed like a child who couldn’t bear to let go of his beloved toy.
"No, I won’t let go, if I do, you’ll run away, and I won’t be able to see you. You have no idea how sad I’ve been this past month. If I can’t find you again, I—I—" "What if you can’t find me your whole life? What will you do?" Jiang Mengyu suddenly wanted to get a clear answer.
There was a hint of panic in Gu Dongxing’s voice: "That won’t happen, how could I possibly not find you."
"What if you can’t find me?" Jiang Mengyu pressed.
"I will keep searching until I do," Gu Dongxing said decisively.
Jiang Mengyu thought about the past life where he married Huaiyu.
"Would you marry Huaiyu?" Jiang Mengyu asked again.
"I absolutely won’t marry Huaiyu!" Gu Dongxing stated decisively.
He stroked Jiang Mengyu’s back over and over again: "Little thing, if I hadn’t met you, maybe I would have just married any woman according to the elders’ wishes, and spent a lifetime with her, just like completing a task, but I wouldn’t touch her.
But now I’ve met you, I’ve fallen in love with you, so you are my only one, and I couldn’t possibly accept another woman.
So, my little darling, if you leave me, I’d rather be alone for life than have another woman."
Jiang Mengyu suddenly realized that in the past life, marrying Huaiyu was just a task, not a marriage born of love. Could it be, Jiang Huaiyu would end up with Xie Hongjun?
All this time, the fact that Gu Dongxing married Huaiyu in a past life was a thorn in her heart.
Now she knew that it was just a task, he was simply fulfilling a task assigned by the elders. The knot in her heart unraveled just like that.
"And what about Ye Qing—" Jiang Mengyu thought about his childhood sweetheart and still felt uncomfortable.
Gu Dongxing hurriedly said: "Ye Qing was just a childhood playmate, and I only thought of her as a sister because I pitied her for being bullied by her stepmother and stepsister. I have no romantic feelings for her.
However, her grandfather and my mom did indeed arrange a marriage for us when we were kids, and her grandfather took care of me and my mom. I couldn’t ignore her suffering, and lacking experience in dealing with women, I inadvertently did things that led to your misunderstanding. But from now on, I won’t get involved with her anymore. She’s not my responsibility, and I will send someone to take her back right away when we return.
Xiao Meng, I’m sorry, this is the first time I’ve fallen for a girl and I didn’t know how to treat you properly. But my heart has only you,"
"What if your mom won’t let you send her back?" Jiang Mengyu said solemnly. From her past life, she knew that both Gu Dongxing and his mother were people who valued gratitude; they indeed had received Ye Qing’s grandfather’s care and making them treat Ye Qing like a stranger was tough.
In fact, she never doubted Gu Dongxing, it was just that Ye Qing had intentions, and she couldn’t help but be on guard.
"Give me some time, I will clarify things with my mom. And—" Gu Dongxing’s eyes flashed with a hint of coldness: "Even if her grandfather has been kind to my mother and me, I have repaid that kindness. If she dares to harbor any improper thoughts, I’ll cut ties with her immediately!"
Jiang Mengyu knew that for Gu Dongxing, a man who values gratitude, to do this was already not bad. If Gu Dongxing were truly a heartless and disloyal person, she wouldn’t have fallen for him.
And, being trapped in the valley this time, she also realized that her heart had already fallen for Gu Dongxing.
However, she wouldn’t let Gu Dongxing off easily: "Alright, let me go now. Considering the hardship you’ve gone through searching for me for nearly a month, I’ll forgive you."
Upon hearing that Jiang Mengyu forgave him, Gu Dongxing was instantly overjoyed and wanted to kiss Jiang Mengyu again.
