CHAPTER 494

"Hhizhong, I am sorry. Believe me, I would not do anything to jeopardize our friendship. I am sorry for my behaviour recently."

"Bai Qing Mei?"

"Yes?" she looked at her phone with a? face full of confusion. Why was he calling her name as though it was another person speaking?

Oh really! He wasn't believing it at all.

"Hao Huizhong!" she could not believe he was joking at a moment like this.

"Hey calm down, I am not kidding. Qing Mei is that you on the line? Is it really you like the girl I love?"

"No, it is your sister," she replied sarcastically. "Who else would it be? Li Jing? Huh?"

With the way and manner, she was already getting provoked and talking, he did not need another confirmation to know that it was her.

"Oh yeah, it is really you." The tone in which he said that was more than enough to make her want to scold him some more. 'I was just wondering because…"

"Because what? I do not blame you, Hao Huizhong. I was the one who opened my big mouth to apologize to you, wasn't I?"

"Calm down. But you know because I was confused if it was you speaking or someone else, I actually did not hear you clearly. So can you, you know, recap, please?'

She pulled her phone from her ear and placed the phone back on her ear again. "You are not serious. I would not repeat myself again. It is a good thing that you did not hear. It is not by any means my fault."

"Sigh!? And here I was thinking someone was changing her ways."

"Hey, I heard that."

"I know you did," Hao Huizhong voiced out. "But it does not change the fact that you are behaving spoilt now. What would it take from you to say it again, Bai Qing Mei?"

"Since you already know what I said, what would it take from you to replay it in your head by yourself." Even though she was being sarcastic and all, she knew that she would have to agree with him.

It wouldn't kill her and besides, she needed him.

"Fine."

"Really?"

"Yes. Fine, since you cannot say it again, then I think I better get going to handle other things."

At first, she thought he was kidding since he didn't say anything afterwards. But when he spoke next, she felt like her heart did break.

"Umm, by the way, Qing Mei."

"Yes?"

"Please once I end this call, kindly do not call back again."

"What?"

"Yes, good night."

BADUM! BADUM!

"Huizhong wait!" She said in a frenzy.

"What?"

"Wait, please." She was fighting with her brain to produce the right words to say but could not really produce anything.

"What do you want to say?" Hao Huizhong asked again. He knew this was hard for her. She was rarely ever in this shoe and now it did pinch her so much that she was lost.

Her brain had virtually stopped working.

"Qing Mei, speak to me or I mean it I would cut the call."

"Do you hate me that much?"

"I do not hate you. On the contrary. You know I love you."

"So how dare you tell me that you want to leave me and my life? How dare you want to walk away from us?"

"But you said so clearly, there is no us, Qing Mei. By the way, it was fun while it lasted."

She wanted to scream and yell. Why was he talking like he was breaking up with her?

"Since we were not in a relationship at all, I cannot say I am breaking up with you but I am leaving whatever it was that was going on between us."

Her heart tore at that moment. Never had she felt this way because of another person, especially when they left her.

The only person she felt torn and angry for was her dad because he died but even at that, she had the love of her mother and grandfather to shield her from such hurt. Now her grandfather is as well threatening to leave her. How can they just abandon her this way?

"Huizhong!" Her voice broke and he felt his heart clench when he could tell she was crying.

He never intended for her to cry or anything. He just wanted to be sure she missed him and she still wanted him.

Right now even if it was for them to remain friends with benefits he was going to. So long as he could have her with him.

He hated to see her hurt. That was what started this thing in the first place.

"Qing Mei, please do not cry…"

"How dare you say you are leaving me? Huh, Huizhong? Is this how you love me?"

"I love you Qing Mei and you know it is true." novelenglish.net . fire(.)nᴇt

"Then prove it. Prove it and do not tell me you love me and you want to leave me." She did not even know what she was saying or asking.

It wasn't reasonable considering she was not giving her heart to him. Regardless she still asked.

"Bai Qing Mei can you just not be selfish anymore. I love you."

"No, I want to be selfish. I do not want you to leave me. I want you to stay."

"As for what?"

"I don't know. Just stay. Stay with me. That's all that matters."

"No Qing Mei. It is time you stop being a spoilt girl and think about others feelings as well. I love and cherish you but I cannot come and be with you while the thought of another man fills your head. What about me, am I not worthy of feeling and receiving this love in return? What has Ye Cheng done for you, huh?"

"I don't know. I love him, can't we just leave it at that?"

"No, we can't. If you want him, then go to him and leave me out of your plan. I want nothing to do with I, you and him."

"Hao Huizhing!"
