One Birth Two Treasures: The Billionaire's Sweet Love Novel - Chapter 2271
Chapter 2271: Do not abandon me.
“Get a hold of yourself, Xiaoya.”
The man lightly stroked her head, his voice getting calmer. “You told me right from the start that this is nothing but a game. It’s now time for the game to end.”
Lin Xueya was struck dumb by that statement.
That was right.
Back then, after their night of lovemaking, she had told him to play a game with her.
A game of lust with no romance.
He was supposed to be a pet that she kept at her side.
However, she became too emotionally involved in the game.
What made her most indignant was that she, a haughty person by nature, had already put down her pride to beg him for his love, yet all she got in return was him calmly saying, ‘It’s now time for the game to end’!
Besides indignation, she felt heartache and despair more.
She stubbornly insisted, “You can’t do without me.”
After all, she was the one who had been managing his career.
Since his debut, she had made use of her connections and bestowed countless golden resources on him, allowing him to star in a major motion picture and many award-winning drama series. He gained overnight popularity in one of the drama series that he acted in and turned into an A-lister from a nobody.
Aside from his innate beauty, his rise to success had everything to do with her immense support.
He could not do without her.
Just like how he became an overnight sensation, without her, he could fall from grace in just an instant in showbiz which looked at power and influence.
Hua Jin laughed blandly at her and airily said, ” Even without you by my side, I can still live my life well; I won’t die.”
That simple response from him completely crushed her pride.
“B-But… I can’t do without you…” She sobbed. “How am I to live without you?”
“No one can’t live without anyone. While you may not be used to it at first, after a while—”
“No, I don’t want that—I don’t want to leave you…”
Reluctance had her hugging him tightly. “Jin, please don’t abandon me, alright?”
Like a drowning person who was floating in the sea and grasping onto the last strand of hope, she forced a smile and, in her trembling voice, said, “I might’ve been kicked out of my family, but… we could work hard together to create our future! You can continue acting and be a superstar, while I find myself a job. Like any other couple, let’s work hard for a better tomorrow. One day, we can surely have a home of ours in this city with our capabilities! I’ll work hard—no, I’ll work very hard to make that dream come true. For your sake, I’m willing to face any challenges in life!”
He fell silent for a while before letting out a helpless chuckle. “Life is no child’s play; grow up!”
Yes.
She had indeed sacrificed a lot for him; she was willing to forsake fame and fortune, even as far as turning her back on her family and getting kicked out from her house.
Nonetheless, even if she was sincere about living an ordinary life now, how long could it last?
It was as good as her falling from a great height and getting herself crushed.
To him, she might be willing to learn how to live an ordinary life like any other girl, munching on a bun in the morning or eating some cheap breakfast, which was bought from a roadside stall, squeezing into a sardine-packed train for commute, and even working hard at a nine-to-five job that paid several thousand yuan a month.
However, she would be unable to stick to such a life for long.
There was no equality between men in the first place.
