My Hidden Wife is Sweet

Chapter 787


Chapter 787: Surrounded

Gu Siting looked at Ling Yan and said after a long silence, “You can leave now.”

The moment Ling Yan left the study and walked out of the door, her legs turned to jelly.

Hearing that Gu Siting was back, Mrs. Gu rushed home and saw Ling Yan standing at the door of the study with a pale face.

“What happened to you?”

Ling Yan came back to herself and shook her head.

“Nothing, I just feel a bit unwell. I just need to take a rest.”

Having said these words, she stopped leaning against the study door and walked away, placing her hand against the wall to support her.

Seeing her leaving, Mrs. Gu pushed the door open and entered the study.

In the study, Gu Siting was wiping the porcelain cup he had brought home, not even noticing that someone was coming in.

Mrs. Gu looked at the desk for a long while and said, “Is that what Kuroda said Weiwei left behind in Shengxi Town?”

Gu Siting put it down. “It is the birthday present she prepared for me that year.”

Mrs. Gu sat down and asked, “Mrs. Ling said that you proposed to break off the engagement with Ling Yan?”

“Yes.” Gu Siting admitted.

Mrs. Gu sighed and said, “Siting, why are you always so self-centered? You did this to Weiwei and now to Ling Yan. You were the one who agreed to be engaged to her and now you are the one who wants to break off the engagement.”

“You are right. Even if she has Weiwei’s heart, she is not her, not like her at all,” Gu Siting said calmly.

Mrs. Gu was a bit angry at her son’s stubborn and conceited ways. “When you agreed to the engagement, I reminded you of that fact but you insisted on getting engaged, and now you want to cancel the engagement. Why can’t you ever think of others?”

Gu Siting said coldly, as he touched the porcelain cup, “You don’t like her either, there’s no problem.”

“Siting, it is not that she is the problem now, it is you.” Mrs. Gu sighed deeply and said, “You distanced yourself from Weiwei because of your father and got together with Ling Yan. You have never thought about Weiwei or Ling Yan. You have always thought about yourself.”

“Really?” Gu Siting laughed at himself and did not refute Mrs. Gu’s accusation.

“Weiwei did not know anything back then, so you distanced yourself from her. She never understood what was going on and kept asking me about it. She kept trying to think of a way to talk to you about it, but you refused to see her and you ended up with Ling Yan,” Mrs. Gu said.

Gu Siting said, as he touched the porcelain cup in his hands, “Mother, do you know how painful it is for me to try so hard to forget about her, but still be unable to let her go?”

She knew nothing, but he knew everything.

He could not hate her, but he could not love her either. Every day, he felt as if he had walked into a dead end.

Mrs. Gu stayed silent in astonishment. She felt sorry for Weiwei, but she had forgotten that he was the one suffering the most.

“Don’t you have any feelings for Ling Yan?”

What was so wrong with Ling Yan that he had no feelings for her?

“No,” Gu Siting answered without hesitation.

He tried very hard to forget about Weiwei and fall for Ling Yan, but he failed.

“What are you going to do if the person who gave you the Nine-Eyed Pearl does not show up and Weiwei is no longer around?” Mrs. Gu asked.

Gu Siting looked up at Mrs. Gu calmly. “He will show up and Weiwei will definitely come home too.”

“…” Mrs. Gu stayed silent.

She also hoped that what he had prayed for would come true, so that Weiwei could come back and save him from this desperate situation.

But he had not expected that when he finally found her, he would be pushed into another abyss of despair.
