Chapter 1441: Chapter 1442: Her Emotions Are Too Immature

“Rong Yan’s views on relationships are too immature. What you need is a mature woman who can stay by your side. Her immaturity will hold you back, limiting your actions. The reason you two can be together is entirely because you tolerate her. But one day, when you no longer want to tolerate her, or when her demands grow higher, you’ll inevitably have conflicts. You should already know this. You’re not the kind of man who just wants to waste time on love. Yet she has never been clear about her feelings for you, always keeping a distanced, ambiguous stance. Even being with you is just her tentative attempt to accept you. Has she ever said she can’t live without you?”

Chu Xi guessed she had hit the mark. Her eyes flickered as she softened her tone and said slowly, “Maybe she never truly liked you. Liking someone should be like what I feel for you. Her initial purpose for returning to the country was nothing but to take revenge on Rong Weiwei. The reason she wanted revenge on Rong Weiwei was because Rong Weiwei took Shi Mufeng from her. From the beginning, she has only ever loved one person, and I’m sorry to say, that person isn’t you.”

From the beginning, she has only ever loved one person, and that person isn’t you.

Li Shengxiao wanted to cut out her tongue!

Seeing the man’s face on the verge of turning pale with rage, Chu Xi continued smugly, “Rather than saying she was touched by you and decided to give it a try, it’s more accurate to say that she needs someone like you by her side to help her get back at the Rong Family. Besides, she’s figured out that you’re interested in her. She couldn’t leave before you lost interest in her, so out of helplessness, she made the smart choice to temporarily compromise and date you…”

“The almighty Mr. Li, the future heir of the Lin Family, a man countless women dream of marrying—and yet, here you are, humbling yourself for a woman who doesn’t even love you. You’d rather force her to stay by your side just to keep her. Rong Yan gives you just a shred of affection, and you wag your tail like an overeager dog. For her, you’ve taken down the Rong Family, cleared obstacles for her in the entertainment industry… Even for her, you’ve gone against your own family. But does she even know all this? Do you think if she knew, she would feel touched—or burdened?”

One had to admit that her words cut deep, every single one striking at the darkest corners of the man’s soul. Li Shengxiao’s gaze grew increasingly icy. His handsome face showed not a trace of emotion. His hawk-like eyes fixed on Chu Xi as though looking at a dead person. “You think you’re so clever and perceptive?”

Chu Xi tilted her chin slightly, fearlessly meeting his gaze, and smiled coyly. “Haven’t I just been stating the truth?”

Li Shengxiao’s thin lips pressed into a straight line, the coldness in his eyes becoming even harsher!

Her smile grew more reckless, her red lips curling provocatively. “See? I must’ve hit the nail on the head. You know deep down that everything I said is true—otherwise, you wouldn’t have reacted so strongly, as if I had touched a raw nerve.”

“Rong Yan doesn’t love you as much as she pretends to. The only reason she’s staying by your side is because she has no other choice! Her refusal to take that final step, her unwillingness to marry you, explains everything!”

“So even if you go against the whole world for her, it’s pointless! No matter how much pressure you shoulder for her, she doesn’t need it at all! All you’ll achieve is making her feel overwhelmed, like she can’t bear the burden!”

…

Li Shengxiao waited for her to finish. He waited until she spoke herself hoarse, until she finally closed her mouth, before responding to her with a blank expression, “Finished?”

“…”

“If you’re done, kindly close the car door.”

Chu Xi felt as though she’d been slapped across the face. After saying so much, did her words mean nothing more to him than mere theatrics?
