"This ending was caused by him. Do you think it was me who was harming him?"
"If you cut off his financial resources as soon as he starts gambling, he won't fall into such a deep trap. It's like teaching a child, by doting on him at the beginning, you are harming him!"
Ximen Longting laughed strangely: "No wonder I have always doted on you and made you so unreasonable."
Jing Jiaren's back stiffened and she bit her lower lip tightly.
"Why don't you speak? Blame me. Just keep talking!" He hammered his chest in annoyance.
He had expected that Jing Jiaren would have this attitude after finding out everything. He didn't even think about who he was doing all this for?!
"Thank you." Jing Jiaren's voice was quiet.
"..."
"I know that you have always supported Jing Huatian out of good intentions. I also know that you let Jing Meixue be the scapegoat to protect me. I really thank you...for everything you have done for me."
Ximen Longting's heartbeat skipped half a beat.
She suddenly thanked him quietly like this, and he became at a loss.
"Thank you for your doting and tolerance for me in the past..." Jing Jiaren shook her head and smiled, "I really have many shortcomings, very bad. Even now I don't understand why you like me for such a bad me.
where?"
"..."
Do you like her dignity that never bows to him?
Now his dignity has been almost wiped out, so his love is only a "glass half full".
Jing Jiaren looked at him, tears falling down without any warning.
She wiped it hurriedly: "I'm here today just to find out the truth...I'm not here to blame you."
"..."
"Jing Meixue is dead, you should have told me earlier."
"How about telling you? Can you bring her back to life?" Ximen Longting softened his tone, "You also know that I am because of you——"
"I know," Jing Jiaren interrupted softly, "but I can't accept it."
Ximen Longting's hand that wanted to wipe her tears stopped.
It was like a stick hitting his chest, and he heard the echo of pain...
"What do you mean?" he asked in a low voice.
"It's nothing... you think I didn't say anything. I'm going to see how my uncle is doing." Jing Jiaren lowered her head and was about to open the door.
The fiery big palm pressed on the back of her hand, Ximen Longting's waist, and hugged her from behind: "Do you want to break up with me?"
"..."
"Jing Jiaren, do you want to break up with me?" He kept hiding it because he was afraid that she wouldn't be able to accept it and that she would break up with him.
Jing Jiaren drooped her eyelashes wet with tears: "No, how could it be? You are overthinking."
He breathed a sigh of relief.
"I don't have the qualifications to say break up at all," she laughed dumbly, "Does it mean that if I say break up, you will never see me again?"
Ximen Longting's heart was plucked again, pierced like a sharp eagle's claw.
"Don't worry, as long as you don't say breakup, I will be by your side."
Ximen Longting heard the mysterious voice in the words: "If I say break up——!?"
Jing Jiaren's throat tightened.
"Have you been waiting for me to say this?!"
His voice was not loud, but it still made her eardrums hurt.
"Ximen Longting, this is fair. The decision is in your hands." Jing Jiaren's voice trembled slowly, "As long as you don't get tired of playing with me, I'm yours. Once you want me to get out, I will
