Stubborn Love of a Roguish Scion - Chapter 97

Chapter 97: Dump Chief Mo. I Can Give You Everything I Have

“Dump him. You two are not a suitable match. I can give you everything I have.”

Ye Erruo shoved him away with furrowed brows. “Let me go, Sun You.”

“I’ll let you go if you stay.”

“I won’t leave!”

Only then did he release her. Staring at the fresh flowers in his hands, he said, “Ruoruo, to be honest, someone with a background like mine has plenty of admirers. My parents have introduced me to plenty of girls, though I never had any romantic feelings for them. I’m not sure if it was Fate that allowed me to meet you here.”

He paused for a moment before continuing. “I felt something different for you from the first time I laid eyes on you. I don’t know if this is what people usually call love at first sight. You’re a really pretty, outstanding girl who seems similar yet different from the girls my parents tried to set me up with. Each movement of yours can send my heart thumping, and each word you say to me can make me happy for a very long time. I’m really, really fond of you.”

“…”

As she was about to open her mouth, he hastily interrupted her. “I know Chief Mo is a lot more outstanding than me and that you have feelings for him. After all, he’s the Prince Charming that many women dream of. But, Ruoruo, the two of you are truly an incompatible match.”

When he said that, she coldly replied, “It’s not up to you to decide if we’re a compatible match.”

Nevertheless, the guy was relentless. “He’s a militarian whose hands are stained with blood. Just today, I saw him killing plenty of people. Not even a child was spared. I don’t know and I don’t want to know what kind of person he is, but I do know that you’ll never be happy with him!”

His revelation shocked her. He had seen Mo Jiangye killing those people?

“If he hadn’t killed them, he would’ve been in danger. Likewise, if he hadn’t killed that boy, I would’ve been dead instead. That’s enough, Sun You. I repeat myself: I do not and will not ever have any romantic feelings for you, now or in the future.”

“Feelings can be developed.”

Her lips were pursed into a grim line. “I have spent more time with you than with Chief Mo, but I’ve never developed such feelings for you. On the other hand, my heart thumps for Chief Mo even though he’s only been here for less than a day. Therefore, I—”

“Ruoruo!” Sun You raised his voice all of a sudden and cut her off mid-speech.

A deep frown settled on her face as she turned to leave, reckoning that it was pointless to continue having this conversation with him.

This made him frantic. Shoving the flowers into her arms, he pinned her against the tree. “You haven’t spent some proper alone time with me.”

He had finally found a girl that he liked and wanted to spend a lifetime with. How could he possibly be willing to let her go?

Fate was something one needed to grab hold of tightly. Even the slightest carelessness could mean missing something for a lifetime.

The woman flung his arms off right away, reacting as though she had come into contact with something shocking. “What are you doing? If you continue behaving like this, I—”

“What are you going to do? Continue rejecting me?” The two hands he placed by her side were clenched tightly.

“Can’t we try dating? I, Sun You, haven’t gotten into a relationship or chased any girl in the entire twenty-five years of my life. You’re the first woman I want to do that with.”

“Sun You! I’ll say it again: Let me go and step aside.” Her face grew stern and cold with displeasure as she was trapped between him and the tree.

“Is it truly impossible?” He released his hands, feeling somewhat dejected.

“It’ll never work out. In fact, I’m married to Chief Mo.”

His eyes bulged incredulously at the news. “You’re married?” To Chief Mo?

“Yes. The military training will soon be over. I hope you’ll be able to keep my relationship with Chief Mo a secret.” As she spoke, she returned the flowers in her hands to him. After all, they might not meet each other again after leaving this place. She did not want gossip about her flying all over the place before she left.

“Sis-in-law?”

Upon looking past her shoulders, she saw Xu Xu standing a short distance away, staring with a complicated expression between her and the flowers in her hands that she pushed back into Sun You’s arms.
