352 I was going to propose to you that day. (1/2)
”Thank you for today.”
Pei Ge thanked Zhou Zhuoyang softly after they alighted from the car.
”Ge Ge, don't leave just yet,” he said. He hurriedly opened the door to the driver's seat and quickly got off upon seeing her indifferent expression.
His actions stunned her, and she looked at him in confusion.
”Ge Ge, let's go; don't bother with him,” Tang Xiaoyu urged once she saw him alight from the car as well.
She had been overseas during Pei Ge's period of heartbreak, but she still knew of how deeply her best friend had loved this man with the way the latter cried over his disappearance.
This was why she only felt hatred for this jerk who had abandoned her best friend.
”Ge Ge, I have something important to tell you.” Seeing Tang Xiaoyu's look of deep loathing on him, he earnestly requested this to Pei Ge.
At his serious expression, Pei Ge turned to address her mother and best friend, ”Mom, Xiaoyu, you head up first; I will follow in a bit.”
Tang Xiaoyu did not want to go but was made to do so by Zhang Manhua, who was by her side.
”Let's go first, Xiaoyu.”
”Auntie…”
Once their voices faded in the distance, she indifferently regarded the man. ”Whatever you have to say, say it.”
He saw how distant she was, and his heart felt an unexplainable pain.
They were once so in love and happy.
Her smiles were all for him.
Today, however, as they stood face-to-face, they were no different from two strangers.
”Ge Ge—”
”Cousin-in-law, we are not that familiar, so please call me by my full name,” she interrupted curtly.
”… Pei Ge,” he pursed his lips and corrected himself, his voice showing a hint of sadness and reminiscing.
”Cousin-in-law, if you have anything to say, please say it quickly, or I'm going now,” she said apathetically.
Seeing her detached expression, he could not help but recall a saying: 'When love is gone, care is also no more.'
She really did not love him anymore.
It did not matter if he had money or not; she just did not like him anymore…
With this thought in mind, he could not resist asking, ”If you knew I am rich back then, would you have second thoughts about cheating on me?”
This question had always been plaguing his heart.
She was rendered speechless by his question.
She had always thought that he truly loved her in the past, but when they met each other again years later, she realized that her first love had never once trusted her.
