Mr.CEO Looks Exactly the Same as My Son!-Chapter 789: A Forced Melon is Not Sweet
Seeing her lack of enthusiasm, he figured she must have something on her mind. He lifted the blanket and got in, reaching out to hold her, "Tell me, what’s going on in that head of yours? Isn’t it tiring to keep so much inside all the time?"
...Can we have a proper conversation?
She reached out and pushed him, putting some distance between them before replying, "Nothing much, just thinking about Shanshan."
"Lan Shan? Has she contacted you?"
"Yeah... she just called around eight. She told me she’s in New York now."
"And then?" He reached out to tousle her hair, waiting for her to continue.
"And then... Shanshan told me she might be getting married."
"Gong Shaoyu?" Beichen Rui asked in return.
Hearing his words, Ye Xinluo was taken aback. She blinked and pulled away from his embrace, sitting up straight, looking at him in disbelief, "You also noticed that Shanshan likes Shaoyu?"
"Is it hard to notice?" He shrugged indifferently. He didn’t know before, but during the wedding, when Lan Shan didn’t show up after going over early, he realized it. Gong Shaoyu was there on the day, and when he and Mo Han, Xu Kun, and her were in a room upstairs discussing how to surprise Ye Xinluo.
All of a sudden, he saw Gong Shaoyu chatting with her in the pavilion. At that moment, Lan Shan’s expression was somewhat off, and that’s when he figured it out.
That look, it was clearly the look of someone in love, and now that she mentioned Lan Shan getting married, naturally, he thought of it...
Ye Xinluo: "..."
She involuntarily twitched the corner of her mouth, tossing the topic aside. In the next second, she began to worry again, "It’s not Shaoyu. I heard from Shanshan it’s the son of one of Uncle Lan’s friends. Do you think, in love with someone, but forcing oneself to forget, that it must be very painful?"
"It is."
Nothing is more heartbreaking than unrequited love. Falling for someone is easy, but trying to erase them from memory is not!
Upon hearing his words, Ye Xinluo seemed to find resonance, holding his arm, she let out a soft sigh and said, "Honestly, I really wish Shanshan and Shaoyu could be together."
As soon as the words fell, Beichen Rui’s expression changed slightly, "What did you call him?" So familiar with calling Gong Shaoyu, how come she never calls him so intimately?
Ye Xinluo rolled her eyes at him, "I’m talking about something serious here, can you stop getting jealous over nothing?" 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
"No." He replied earnestly.
Fine, she underestimated this man’s jealousy. She smiled slightly and comforted, "Alright, alright, let’s not dwell on this. Tell me, what do you think about their situation?"
"What do I think?" Just about to say I don’t know, seeing her expression change, he naturally shifted the subject, "Matters of the heart can’t be forced. These things require mutual consent. You need to remember one thing."
"What?" Ye Xinluo looked expectant, waiting for him to continue.
"A forced melon is not sweet."
Indeed... isn’t that the truth? She didn’t speak further, falling into contemplation.
....
In the following days, Lan Shan practically toured all of New York, yet still didn’t encounter the person she wanted to meet, while on the other side in City Z, something happened with Qin Yin.
....
Rushing to the hospital, she watched the doctors and nurses busy in the ward, and turned woodenly, staring at the man sitting in the corridor. Her eyes flashed with hatred as she stepped forward and pulled him up, her tone a bit agitated, "What did you do to her? What on earth did you do, tell me."
