Chapter 1143: She Didn’t Care Whether or Not He Was Gu Shaoqian

“I know about your feelings for me, I truly do but I am no longer the Gu Shaoqian who you once loved and I will never assume Gu Shaoqian’s identity in the future. I will continue to live at Ming City and Mang Village to do my best to help the villages who have once extended a helping hand to me and improve their livelihood. As you can see, this is a very poor and remote village and the young people here don’t even have enough money to get married. The villagers have to toil in the fields for the rest of their lives and they have to work so hard just to keep their bellies full and warm. This is my home and Mang Village is my hometown. I can no longer assume Gu Shaoqian’s identity, the man who you truly loved,” Chen Jiahang said as he took a deep breath and said what he truly meant.

It was more than a year since he broke up with Yan Yan and he had also made up his mind not to intrude in her life. He knew that she was doing well since she had her two children by her side. If this was what she wanted, he would respect her decision.

As for Lin Ziya, he could no longer give her the love that he had once showered upon her because the man she loved was the man he used to be, the haughty Gu Shaoqian, but not him, Chen Jiahang who had Gu Shaoqian’s memories.

Lin Ziya’s sobs gradually grew softer. She had been crying for so long that her eyes were red, swollen, and bloodshot.

She understood what Shaoqian was trying to tell her but she did not expect this to be the reason for him to reject her.

She didn’t care whether or not he was the Gu Shaoqian she once knew.

“Shaoqian, I…” Lin Ziya said as she wiped at the corners of her eyes. She suddenly took one step forward and threw herself into his arms, wrapping her arms tightly around him.

She placed her face against his chest and said hoarsely, “I don’t care whether you are Chen Jiahang or Gu Shaoqian, I just want to be with you. It doesn’t matter whether you choose to live in Ming City or in Mang Village. Shaoqian, do you really want to see me growing old alone or not being able to marry anyone else right?”

Lin Ziya eked out through sobs. Her words made Chen Jiahang feel even worse.

Chen Jiahang let his ex-girlfriend continue to hold him. He did not push her away but he pursed his lips slightly and let out a soft sigh.

“Shaoqian… no, Jiahang!” Lin Ziya said. “Our relationship shouldn’t have ended that way. I’m willing to live here with you. I had already made up my mind when I came here in search of you. Please don’t push me away. Would you give our relationship another chance?”

She felt as though her heart was breaking into pieces.

She didn’t know what else she would do if she couldn’t get back together with Shaoqian.

Then, the lightbulb suddenly flashed and everything turned dark.

The house was pitch black and not a sliver of light could be seen.

There was a blackout.

It was a common occurrence in this backward village and there would be a blackout once or twice a week.

Lin Ziya hugged Chen Jiahang to her tightly. She refused to let go for fear that she would never be able to hug him again once she let go.

“Ziya, please let go. I’ll bring a candle and a lighter over,” Chen Jiahang said as he gently patted her back.

Lin Ziya hesitated for a moment before she finally let go of him but she took his hand in hers and tagged along as he searched for the things he needed.
