Chapter 156 is truly unlucky.
Chapter 156 is truly unlucky.
Lin Qingran looked coldly at Fu Xiuheng, a mocking smile curling at the corner of her lips.
“Fu Xiuheng, even your apology sounds so condescending, as if it were a favor. But in this world, no one is obligated to forgive just because they apologize. I, Lin Qingran, or rather, Jiang Jiuge now, can also choose not to accept your apology.”
Her gaze pierced Fu Xiuheng like a sharp sword.
"Your fickle attitude towards relationships is unacceptable not only to Lin Qingran, your former wife, but also to Jiang Jiuge now. Do you think a flimsy apology can erase the hurt you caused me? Don't be naive. Your romantic affairs and your heartless indifference are deeply imprinted in my heart and can never be erased."
Lin Qingran became more and more excited as she spoke, and her voice unconsciously rose a few decibels.
Fu Xiuheng wore a bitter smile, his eyes filled with sorrow, and stared straight at Lin Qingran, asking in a trembling voice.
"Lin Qingran, do you really hate me that much? Are you unwilling to give me even the slightest chance? Or are you only with Bo Ye out of spite, to get revenge for what I did to you in the past?"
His eyes held a hint of expectation, as if he were waiting for Lin Qingran's affirmative answer.
Lin Qingran was amused by his self-righteous idea.
She pulled Bo Ye over to her side and, in front of Fu Xiuheng, kissed him without hesitation, looking at Fu Xiuheng provocatively as she spoke.
"Fu Xiuheng, don't be so arrogant! I'm with Bo Ye because I love him, and it has nothing to do with you! Stop with your ridiculous ideas!"
Lin Qingran looked at Fu Xiuheng with a firm gaze and spoke in a serious tone.
"I've always been serious about relationships. I'm not a puppet you can manipulate at will. I'm a living, breathing person with flesh and blood, thoughts and feelings. I have the right to bravely choose to begin when I'm in love, and the right to decisively choose to end when I'm no longer in love. So, the reason we broke up is simply because I no longer love you. It's that simple and pure, without any other complicated reasons. As for being with Bo Ye, it's because I genuinely like him; he can give me the warmth and support I need. This has nothing to do with revenge on anyone. Stop using your narrow-mindedness to speculate about my feelings. I hope you understand, and I hope you won't keep bothering me. Let's each go our separate ways peacefully; that's the best ending for both of us."
Lin Qingran finished speaking in one breath, her expression full of unwavering determination.
He then took Susukino's hand and turned to leave.
Before leaving, Bo Ye turned back and glared fiercely at Fu Xiuheng.
The two figures gradually disappeared into the distance under the sunlight, while Fu Xiuheng stood there blankly, as if his soul had been taken away.
Beautiful memories flooded back at this moment, but now only endless regret and sorrow remain.
The proposal was supposed to be a perfect occasion, but Fu Xiuheng's actions completely ruined the atmosphere.
When Susukino got back into the car, his face still showed signs of anger.
He held Lin Qingran tightly and made a firm promise.
"Jiuge, don't mind today's incident. I will definitely give you an even more perfect proposal next time."
Lin Qingran couldn't help but chuckle at Bo Ye's angry expression.
She tilted her head slightly, her eyes filled with curiosity and tenderness, and asked Bo Ye.
"So when did you start preparing for this proposal?"
Her voice was gentle, as if it could soothe the anger in Bo Ye's heart. Upon hearing Lin Qingran's question, Bo Ye's expression softened slightly.
Bo Ye blushed slightly when he heard Lin Qingran's question.
He gently held Lin Qingran's hand, his eyes filled with deep affection.
"Actually, I had already started preparing for all of this before I first asked you if you would like to be with me. From that moment on, I was looking forward to spending my life with you, so I started planning early on, thinking that if you were willing to be with me, I would quickly put all of this on the agenda, for fear that one day you would suddenly agree to me and I would not have time to prepare."
After saying that, he smiled shyly, but his eyes were full of determination and tenderness.
After hearing Bo Ye's words, Lin Qingran felt a surge of emotion, her heart filled with gratitude.
She held Bo Ye's hand tightly, her gaze solemn as she told him.
“Hearing you say these things, I was truly moved. I have deeply felt your sincerity; it is so precious and far more important than any extravagant gesture. With your genuine kindness, I already feel incredibly happy.”
Upon hearing Lin Qingran's heartfelt response, Bo Ye's eyes welled up with tears. He gripped Lin Qingran's hand even tighter, his voice trembling slightly but filled with unwavering determination as he made his promise.
"I will definitely give you a grand wedding, let everyone know my love for you, and make you the most beautiful and happiest bride in the world."
Speaking of weddings, Lin Qingran's thoughts drifted back to the time when she married Fu Xiuheng.
Looking back on that scene now, it's truly ironic.
The banquet was simply held in a small banquet hall for two families; there were no romantic decorations or lively atmosphere.
Even the wedding ceremony was extremely rushed, as if it were just a formality to complete a task.
Now, in order not to leave her with any regrets, Bo Ye has started making careful preparations well in advance. She has seen and remembered his dedication and sincerity.
In comparison, it's clear who put in more effort and who is superior.
Lin Qingran felt as if a huge stone was lodged in her heart, and she was extremely unlucky, because Fu Xiuheng's sudden interruption of her marriage proposal made her feel like she was carrying a heavy burden.
The thought of Fu Xiuheng's persistent and clingy manner filled her with irritation.
Moreover, she could tell that Fu Xiuheng was the kind of person who would not give up until he achieved his goal.
She had already made everything so clear to him, laid everything out out in the open, yet he still had the nerve to come looking for her and keep pestering her.
Such behavior, devoid of any self-awareness or sense of shame, is utterly disgusting.
Lin Qingran grew angrier the more she thought about it, her brows furrowing tightly, her disgust for Fu Xiuheng intensifying.
Given Fu Xiuheng's stubborn nature, who knows what crazy things he might do next.
The crisis with the Lin family has now been resolved, Zhou Lan has been arrested, and the overseas pharmaceutical companies that cooperated with Zhou Lan have not made any moves for the time being.
Lin Yuyan is the only one who hasn't been found yet, but compared to before, the current troubles are indeed less.
After much deliberation, Lin Qingran decided that she could no longer ignore Fu Xiuheng.
It seems it's time for me to devote some of my attention to Fu Xiuheng.
