Chapter 114 What Remains

She navigated herself around Chu Yujie to settle onto the sofa. “Back then when I still had my appearance covered up, as well as my volatile temper, Ning Shaochen had fallen for me despite everything. Yujie, I’m not a vain person. I wouldn’t have accepted Ning Shaochen no matter how rich he is, if I do not like him. In fact, he had never used his wealth to his advantage. Drawing from your knowledge of him, you should know his true colors, so do you think he would toy with people’s feelings? For that reason, I can tell you that we are serious about our relationship.” Chu Yujie wanted to deny it, but Shen Beiyi was right. Ning Shaochen was born into riches, and only ever had people catering to him instead of the other way around, but he had treated Shen Beiyi differently from everybody else. He had trusted her throughout what had happened last night, and had come to her as soon as he could. Chu Yujie understood what it meant, being a man himself. He sank into the sofa in defeat. Have I lost the fight before I had even begun? I’ve promised to give my all to win Shen Beiyi over, but somehow I ended up without even having a sliver of a chance. He closed his eyes, only to reopen them again as he stood up.
