/ One Birth Two Treasures: The Billionaire's Sweet Love Chapter 224
“… Mhm . ”
Gu Xingze hesitated to speak and only replied with a hum . He wanted to say more, but he was vexed to realize that he was not in the position to do so .
Yun Shishi also felt extremely awkward . When the two, who were on the phone, heard each other's breathing, they instantly fell silent .
The extended period of silence made them feel as if time had stopped .
It went on like this until he let out a sigh from the other side .
“Shishi, don't be afraid . ”
Her eyes bulged in astonishment .
“Are you and him a thing?”
He sounded her out . His mention of 'him' made her recall what had happened last night .
She froze and nodded in a daze, forgetting that they were on the phone, and he could not see her .
“That man isn't as simple as you think . It's best if you don't get involved with him . ”
There was obviously an unfounded worry in his voice .
That man was not that simple?
It was only yesterday that she truly found out about the man's identity .
He belonged to the Mu, the wealthiest family in the capital, and was at the helm of Disheng Financial Group, which had drawn the attention of the world . The man, Mu Yazhe, had an absolutely noble status since birth . She never wanted to get involved with him whatsoever .
There seemed to be a vast chasm separating him and her . They belonged to two worlds, and it was difficult to cross over to the other .
They absolutely did not have a future together .
She replied, “I know that . ”
“You don't know, Shishi . That man is far from simple . ”
He paused briefly and lowered his voice . “Do you love him?”
Love?
That man?
No… How could she possibly love such a domineering man?!
She blanked out and then shook her head, but her voice got stuck in her throat, and like a damaged machine, she could not let out a sound .
He noted her silence and continued slowly, “That man is very dangerous . If you stay with him, you can get hurt . Shishi, I don't want to see you getting hurt . ”
A complete and coherent line went past his lips . After another bout of silence, he suddenly said, “I'll feel hurt, too . ”
Her heart clenched as her brows knitted . For a moment, her mind was completely blank .
No women could resist a man's gentility .
This included her . She was initially armed to the teeth, but when she was faced with his gentle words, her armor was discarded at once, and her lips unconsciously formed a smile .
This smile did not last long, however .
Mu Yazhe's furious face flashed across her eyes, and she suddenly recalled the position she was in .
The man seemed to dislike her being in contact with other men .
Whatever position she was in, she always felt thankful to Gu Xingze, but gratitude did not equate to love .
If she did not love him, on what grounds should she let him get hurt?
She weakly said, “Xingze, thank you, but I don't wish to implicate you . ”
“Huh…”
Implicate?
“Shishi, listen; I may be much stronger than you think . ”
He impulsively boasted, but it sounded more like a warm welcome . The man seemed to be warmly inviting her to hide under his unfurled, protective wings .
“Shishi, let me protect you… okay?”
The fingers that held her phone suddenly stiffened .
A wall in her heart crumbled down a bit as she was caught off guard .
At this moment, she, who was absorbed in her self-contradictions, absolutely did not realize the ominous presence closing in on her from behind .
