The Billionaire's Mischievous Sweetheart-Chapter 604 - 601: He Feels Somewhat Lost
But when he arrived downstairs and discovered Zi Yunsui had already left, he felt a bit lost.
Thinking of what Hua Xiaomo had said, he immediately hailed a taxi and went to the apartment where Zi Yunsui lived. When he rang the doorbell, Zi Yunsui came to open the door for him. Unexpectedly, Ye Xiangxue was at the door.
"What are you doing here?" Zi Yunsui asked, looking at him.
Ye Xiangxue gave an awkward smile, then lifted the items in his hands. "I thought you might not have had breakfast, so I brought you some. Look, I’ve got your favorite poached eggs, pancakes, and noodles. You should eat quickly; it’s sure to be delicious. I’ve heard that this place’s breakfast is very nutritious. I bought it especially for you."
Zi Yunsui didn’t say anything, just turned his head to glance at the table. "Come in. You can just put it on the table." 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
Zi Yunsui didn’t say much more and soon let Ye Xiangxue inside. Then he grabbed some clothes and went to take a shower. He didn’t know how much time had passed, but when he came out, he saw Ye Xiangxue had already placed all the breakfast items neatly on the table, ready for him to eat.
Zi Yunsui wasn’t sure what he was feeling, but he felt a great sense of warmth; it was indeed an image he had longed to have in his mind. Looking at the food Ye Xiangxue had prepared for him, Zi Yunsui felt touched in his heart for a moment.
Yet, at this moment, he didn’t know what to say. He just felt that Ye Xiangxue was really good to him.
Thinking about everything between them, he had some thoughts, but he wasn’t sure if they were mature enough. He was always afraid of feeling awkward because he felt he didn’t quite love the other person. After all, he still liked Hua Xiaomo; he couldn’t just marry Ye Xiangxue simply because Ye Xiangxue had taken care of him before. That would be irresponsible, wouldn’t it? Marriage should be between two people in love to stay together. If they were together for any reason other than love, it would surely create more barriers. This wouldn’t be good for either of them, something he didn’t wish for. He hoped that both could live happily—that they would come together because of love, not because of gratitude, as that kind of feeling couldn’t foster love. That’s what he always believed.
"Zi Yunsui, come and have some food. Look, the breakfast I prepared for you is really delicious!" Ye Xiangxue said, looking at Zi Yunsui, his heart racing as he gazed at the other’s handsome face.
Alright, he indeed liked him a lot, liked the idea of being together with him. At this moment, he didn’t know how Zi Yunsui saw him; he just wished Zi Yunsui liked him back. He found that Zi Yunsui was a good person, yet Zi Yunsui seemed not to like him much. No matter what he did, he couldn’t seem to catch Zi Yunsui’s attention. Ah, it was really frustrating. If possible, he would definitely make Zi Yunsui fall in love with him. No matter what it took, love required effort, and he would make the other person like him.
Zi Yunsui looked at him and slowly nodded, then sat down at the table and began eating the breakfast.
At that moment, his heart felt an indescribable touch of emotion. Alright. Ye Xiangxue was indeed a good person, and he didn’t want to upset him. But he truly didn’t think marriage was the best outcome for them; yet, not marrying wasn’t an option either. Because now, he felt a need for someone to comfort him; his heart had suffered a great deal. He couldn’t pretend to be alright in front of Hua Xiaomo, because he really liked her a lot. He admitted that maybe even after getting married, he would be unable to forget Hua Xiaomo, whom he considered a very good woman in his heart.
He didn’t know if he could maintain their relationship, as he wished to keep that close bond between them. Alright, even if they weren’t together, it wouldn’t matter, as long as he could maintain that bond with her. It was a selfish thought, Zi Yunsui suddenly realized, but regardless, it was what he wanted. He also didn’t know what Hua Xiaomo might be thinking. Alright, he was afraid Hua Xiaomo would be shocked if he spoke out, thinking his feelings were somewhat abnormal. Alright. He did indeed feel this way. Now, he knew Hua Xiaomo couldn’t leave Qi Longbing. Alright, he admitted, as long as she didn’t completely ignore him, it would be fine. He now preferred to take second place, as long as Hua Xiaomo would still be with him. Of course, even if she was with Qi Longbing, he would have to endure it. Now, there really was no other choice. He was willing to lower his own standards, as long as Hua Xiaomo could still accept him. If she could accept his occasional comfort when he was by her side, he would be satisfied. His desires were truly humble, but what could he do about it? Now, this was all he could do.
"Hmm, thank you. You don’t have to be so good to me; you know I’m not that great a person. I don’t even know how you’ve always seen me, but for everything you’ve done for me during that time, I’m truly moved and very grateful to you!"
"Really, I don’t even know what to say. Maybe I’m not someone who likes to talk much or enjoys speaking much, but I’m aware of what others have done for me. I’m not a fool. Ye Xiangxue, do you really want to marry me?" Zi Yunsui asked Ye Xiangxue, at that moment feeling quite uncomfortable.
Because no matter what, he had that kind of relationship with Hua Xiaomo. It was only because her heart was currently set on Qi Longbing; otherwise, there was no reason he and Hua Xiaomo couldn’t be together.
Ye Xiangxue blushed when asked, feeling a bit pained in that moment because he realized Zi Yunsui wasn’t truly sincere in asking. If Zi Yunsui didn’t genuinely like him, then he would rather not be together at all. But he couldn’t bring himself to treat him badly. His heart was entirely filled with Zi Yunsui; he couldn’t say anything now. He really liked him, enjoyed being with him.
