Can’t Live Without You
Shen Roujia was a bit confused. “Why would he, a grown man, make clothes? That’s so strange.”
Gu Yunqing seemed to be struck by those words, her pain evident. “If you don’t like them, that’s fine, but there’s no need to treat them like this.”
Seeing Gu Yunqing’s humbled demeanor, Shen Roujia began to feel a little guilty. It seemed wrong to use one woman’s love for another person to hurt her. 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘱𝘶𝑏.𝑐𝘰𝑚
Shen Roujia, lost in thought, suddenly had an idea.
“Yunqing, I can see that you and Xu Lianggeng are a good match, and you really like him. Why do you make yourself so humble for him?”
Even Shen Roujia could see Gu Yunqing’s feelings; how could Xu Lianggeng not?
Gu Yunqing, too, began to realize that her hostility toward Shen Roujia was misplaced.
After all, Shen Roujia had no interest in Xu Lianggeng.
Shen Roujia, with an innocent and naive expression, looked at Gu Yunqing, subtly trying to change her mind.
“Yunqing, you’re so beautiful, more beautiful than any woman I’ve ever seen. Have you ever wondered why?”
“I think maybe it’s because you’re too good to him, and that makes him take you for granted.”
As soon as Shen Roujia finished speaking, Gu Yunqing froze slightly. Right, she had sacrificed so much for Xu Lianggeng.
She betrayed her family, gave up all her wealth and glory. No matter how many heinous acts Xu Lianggeng committed, Gu Yunqing remained loyal, never thinking of leaving him. But now?
What had she gained? Even an outsider like Shen Roujia, someone who was seen as foolish, could see it. But Xu Lianggeng? Did he really not notice at all?
Gu Yunqing started to doubt. Had she been too good, making him take her for granted?
Gu Yunqing looked at Shen Roujia, unable to resist asking, “Do you really not want to marry him?”
