Chapter 628: Just Satisfy Me
Rejected 99 Times, the Aloof Campus Belle Comes On Strong at Me, Jiang Muye
Boss Cutie
"This house is far too cold and lonely. It would be so nice if there were a bit of warmth of people in it. Qihua, you don't have to love me, but give me a child, let me have something to hope for, won't you?"
Ye Shuhua's tears fell. "You can surely grant me a request like that."
As long as she had a child, she'd have something to cling to and secure her life, and could also maintain her relationship with Leng Qihua. Most importantly, if it was a boy, he could completely inherit the Leng Group.
Such a vast estate would practically all belong to her, and she could make a killing off it.
What did she care about the man? Who cared who he loved. She had money anyway, and could keep as many young livewires as she wanted.
Father Leng pressed his lips tightly together, clearly deeply conflicted.
Ye Shuhua tugged at his sleeve and called out longingly, "Qihua, just satisfy me, won't you."
"No." Father Leng immediately pulled Ye Shuhua's hand away and spoke decisively. "I can agree to anything else, but this absolutely cannot be."
"Why? I'm only asking for a child!" Ye Shuhua said with disbelief.
Shouldn't a man be eager to agree? Didn't they all hope to carry on their line and keep the family flame burning?
Especially a child in one's old age. To Leng Qihua, that ought to be a happy thing, shouldn't it?
Father Leng told Ye Shuhua, "In this life, having Ruoli as my daughter is enough for me. I don't want any other child stealing the family affection and attention she deserves. Especially after Ruoli was hurt back then, I swore all the more to treat her well."
If he truly wanted a child, he'd have had one long ago.
But Father Leng didn't need one, and he didn't want to add to Leng Ruoli's burden.
Six years ago, it was because he hadn't taken good care of his daughter that she'd suffered so much. On what basis should he, having a child in his old age, have his own daughter raise that child after he passed?
Besides, Father Leng was also very clear that his feelings for Ye Shuhua had not yet reached the point of love.
Back then, if it hadn't been for her health problems and the considerable hardship she'd endured for his sake, he would never have agreed to date her.
Being with her, Father Leng mostly just gave her better material conditions and took care of her, that was all. He'd never had any excessive thoughts beyond that.
Hearing this, Ye Shuhua was about to break down.
How she wanted a child to stabilize her position, and now Leng Qihua simply didn't plan to agree to her request.
Ruoli again!
It seemed Leng Ruoli was the stumbling block.
If Leng Ruoli wasn't gotten rid of, there would be no way at all to change Leng Qihua's mind.
As long as Leng Ruoli disappeared, all the problems would be resolved.
Ye Shuhua clenched her fists, and already a mad notion began to swirl in her mind.
Don't blame her.
She was only trying to find a way out.
Everyone was for themselves.
She was too.
…
In the girls' dorm.
Sheng Xinyi wore light pink pajamas and was writing a novel on her laptop.
Her long hair was tucked behind her ears, and there were still traces of crying on her face. Her eyes were completely red, like a rabbit's.
"Still not sleeping?" her roommate asked.
"It's not lights-out yet. Once I finish writing, I'll go to bed." Sheng Xinyi smiled coolly.
"You're still writing that novel about you and Chen Ge? There are quite a lot of people following it now. Ah, it really makes one sigh. Why can't lovers end up together?" The roommate sighed.
She'd read the novel Sheng Xinyi wrote. There wasn't any sorrowful text in it. It all recorded the warm little moments between Sheng Xinyi and Chen Ge.
But that kind of elegant, refined prose revealed a faint sadness.
It was obvious that a relationship problem between Sheng Xinyi and Chen Ge had affected Sheng Xinyi's mood.
"I've always believed that if you never forget something, there will surely be an echo." Sheng Xinyi was very persistent. She thought for a moment, then continued typing on the laptop.
In the silent night, her phone rang.
Sheng Xinyi happened to glance at it, and was startled by the number flashing on the screen.
Senior Chen Ge.
Sheng Xinyi immediately answered the call.
"Hello, Senior Chen Ge!" Sheng Xinyi called out joyfully.
After the engagement banquet ended, Sheng Xinyi had learned that he'd left long ago.
She'd been very disappointed, but now that she saw Senior Chen Ge calling, her mood became cheerful along with it.
"The plane ticket is cancelled."
The smile that had been hanging on Sheng Xinyi's face immediately stiffened.
"What! Senior Chen Ge, can't you give me a chance? I know your concerns, but I really do love you!"
Sheng Xinyi was so upset she choked up.
She didn't know how hard she'd have to try to salvage this relationship.
She so clearly loved someone, so why still couldn't she get what she wished for? Why was other people's love so easy, but put on her, it was so difficult.
"So what you said today doesn't count?"
Sheng Xinyi trembled, and listened in astonishment to the words from the other end of the phone. She asked with disbelief, "What did that mean?"
"If it counts, change the booking to three in the afternoon. That's the flight I'm on."
Little White Dove's words made Sheng Xinyi's heart tremble.
Sheng Xinyi felt her eyes become very wet, and she covered her mouth in disbelief. "Senior Chen Ge, you…"
"Muzi was right. Everyone should be a little selfish for themselves. I should also consider the happiness that belongs to me, and shouldn't presumptuously think that letting go is what makes you happy."
Little White Dove was very clear that he truly deeply loved Sheng Xinyi.
There was simply no way he could let go of Sheng Xinyi.
If he really left Sheng Xinyi, some years later he would certainly regret it.
By then there would be no return.
Her groom wouldn't be him. Could he really be content with that?
Sheng Xinyi didn't speak anymore.
But her crying continued without end, and through the receiver, it clearly reached Little White Dove's ears.
Little White Dove was very flustered. "Don't cry…"
"I'm not crying, I… I… I'm happy. Senior Chen Ge, I'm really happy." Sheng Xinyi wiped her tears, speaking haltingly. Though she stammered, her heart was like honey, sweet.
Little White Dove's taking the initiative made her lower all her defenses, and he opened his heart to her.
She was very happy to have waited for this speech from Senior Chen Ge.
"Senior Chen Ge, where are you? I want to see you! I miss you so much!" Sheng Xinyi raised her voice and called out firmly to Little White Dove.
"It's lights-out now. Let's meet tomorrow." Little White Dove was considering Sheng Xinyi.
"No, I want to see you right now. I can't wait any longer. Now, right away, immediately, I want to see you!" Sheng Xinyi was extremely urgent.
She was really afraid this was a dream, and she truly wanted to rush to Senior Chen Ge's side.
Considering how she'd spent these days, looking at photos of herself with Senior Chen Ge, leaning on her pillow, tormented by longing, and by the end looking at the photos while crying, then crying herself to sleep.
Originally she'd planned to go abroad with Senior Chen Ge, which was already a very bold decision, but being rejected by Senior Chen Ge had been very painful.
Fortunately her efforts had paid off.
Senior Chen Ge had ultimately returned to her side.
Then why should she worry about lights-out or not? She wanted to see him! She didn't want any problem to stand in the way of the two of them.
"Alright, then I'll figure out a way to get out." Little White Dove agreed to Sheng Xinyi. "We'll meet at the sports field."
