Bai Jingchen stood outside the gate of Shi's chaebol villa.
He confirmed the identity of the visitor with the bodyguard, then walked in with his long legs, "Chu'er..."
Lan Chu's smile disappeared instantly.
Even the smiling eyes like crescent moons were gone. She put away her starry eyes and immediately turned around to leave.
"Chu'er!" Bai Jingchen immediately chased after her, held the girl's wrist, and pulled her back into his arms.
Lan Chu ran directly into the man's arms, and his head hit his hard chest unexpectedly, "Hiss—"
She couldn't help but take a breath and raised her hand to rub her forehead.
I didn't sleep well last night and my head felt dizzy. I finally came out to get some fresh air, but now I fainted again.
Bai Jingchen frowned, "I'm sorry, I..."
He immediately let go of the girl in a hurry, held his face in his big palm, and tried to help her rub the painful forehead.
But Lan Chu shook off his hand and took a huge step back with his short legs, "Don't touch me."
The girl's voice was slightly cold, revealing rejection and alienation.
Shi Qinglan had just been playing in the fountain pool a little further away. She heard Lan Chu calling for butterflies and trotted over. Then she saw Bai Jingchen coming uninvited.
She didn't come forward, but silently walked to the flower bed next to her and sat down, leaving room for the two of them to solve the problem.
Bai Jingchen pursed her thin lips slightly and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "I didn't mean to hurt you. My forehead is red. Let me see."
As he spoke, he walked towards the girl with his long legs, but Lan Chu continued to back away, raising his hand and pointing his white palm towards him.
"Bai Jingchen, don't touch me." She repeated in a cold voice.
The man's steps suddenly stopped. Hearing the sense of alienation in the girl's tone, his back stiffened slightly.
His voice became hoarse, "Chu'er..."
Bai Jingchen almost didn't close his eyes all night last night. His face didn't look good at the moment. There was some stubble growing on his chin, and the red bloodshot eyes in his eyes were even scarlet and a little haggard.
Lan Chu's pink lips pursed slightly, "Bai Jingchen, I have made everything clear. We are done here."
Hearing this, the man's heart was suddenly tugged hard.
His eyes gradually became deeper, filled with heart-wrenching sadness, and he looked at the girl unwilling to accept reality...
Lan Chu's heart was constantly poking like a needle.
But no matter how painful her heart was at this moment, she knew that this relationship would end sooner or later, "We have already broken up once. You said you wanted to get back together, and I gave you a chance."
These words hit Bai Jingchen hard in the heart...
His Adam's apple moved slightly and his voice became a little tight, "Chu'er, things are not what you think. I can solve it..."
"Explanation?" Lan Chu couldn't help but chuckled to himself.
She felt a little sour in her heart, and a little mist gradually formed in her eyes, but she bit her lips to prevent tears from falling.
Lan Chu lowered his eyes slightly and raised his lips in self-mockery, "I waited for you at home all night. I was waiting for your explanation, but you didn't come back all night. You have already given up this opportunity."
Hearing this, Bai Jingchen clenched his fists tightly.
After the quarrel that night, he was afraid that he would be in a bad mood and might hurt the girl with his aggressive words, so he went to Chen Palace to sleep for a night, hoping to keep both of them calm.
As a result, I came home in the morning and found that the girl was missing...
"Bai Jingchen, I, Lan Chu, did love you before, and I loved you so much that I wouldn't marry you unless I wanted you to, but... you have worn away my feelings for you bit by bit."
Lan Chu raised his face, and his clear eyes seemed to be filled with a little arrogance, but his fingertips were slightly cold.
She raised her eyes to look at the man, took a deep breath and said, "This time it's me who announces that you were dumped by me!"
When the sound fell, she turned around without hesitation, her disheveled hair was pushed behind her, and her back was arrogant and determined when she left.
But even if the back looks so sassy and handsome...
Only Lan Chu knew that the moment she turned around, her tears fell to the ground hard, and the slight coldness on her fingertips was transmitted to her heart along the nerve endings.
She was born to be a proud person...
Why should she be fooled by Bai Jingchen again and again? Since he always teases her and lets her go, why should she be entangled with him? She might as well kick this stinky scumbag.
At least she didn't look so humble this time.
"Lan Chu!" Bai Jingchen shouted and wanted to chase after him.
But Shi Qinglan came over suddenly, put his hands carelessly in his pockets, and stopped in front of him with a cold temperament.
Bai Jingchen's eyes were always glued to Lan Chu. Seeing her petite body gradually running away, he raised his hand to rub his forehead with a headache, and there was a hint of anxiety and annoyance in his brows.
Shi Qinglan lightly opened her red lips, "You are really a straight man."
Bai Jingchen remained silent and did not speak.
The girl lazily raised her eyelids and said, "Xiao Chu'er is such an easy-to-coax girl. You deserve it for being like this. Don't chase her, otherwise it will only make her reject you even more."
"If you have time, why not study the tutorials on flirting with girls? Learn how to coax a girl. Once you learn the essence, come back to her. If you can't learn it, I will introduce her to another boyfriend."
Bai Jingchen: "..."
He frowned slightly and looked at Shi Qinglan. He was choked by her retort and couldn't say anything to refute, "Then please take care of her first."
Shi Qinglan didn't respond, but raised her eyebrows slightly.
Bai Jingchen glanced deeply in the direction where Lan Chu left a few more times, but that petite figure had already left her sight, "I'll come find her another day."
Shi Qinglan tilted her chin slightly to indicate the direction of the lower door.
Bai Jingchen pursed her lips and turned to leave. There was a hint of loneliness and sadness in her back, which was extremely heavy.
Shi Qinglan's charming eyes narrowed slightly. Although she didn't like Bai Jingchen, she could tell that Lan Chu still liked him and couldn't bear to see her so sad anymore.
She suddenly opened her red lips and called him, "Mr. Bai."
Hearing this, Bai Jingchen paused in his steps and did not turn around.
Then Shi Qinglan said, "If you can't give Lan Chu happiness, don't continue to pester her."
"If you can... She is a girl who can be coaxed with a piece of candy. Don't let her be disappointed in this relationship again."
Bai Jingchen's Adam's apple twitched slightly, he thanked hoarsely, and then left the Shi family chaebol in a hurry.
When Shi Qinglan returned to the bedroom, she saw Lan Chu crying.
The little girl looked silly, shedding tears while fanning her hands. She kept taking deep breaths to hold back her tears. She was still trying to grin. She couldn't laugh or cry.
"Want to eat cake?" Shi Qinglan handed over a delicate small plate, "Sweet one, strawberry mousse."
