Chapter 64: Lover (Part 27)

After being forced by Song Cheng to stay in the hospital for seven days, had Su Kui not completely lost her patience and nearly flown into a rage, Song Cheng would probably have wanted her to treat the hospital as her permanent home.

Seven days later, on a bright morning, the golden sunlight blazed like fire. The brilliant rays illuminated Su Kui's face as she stepped out of the hospital, making her skin look almost translucent, presenting a dreamlike and illusory quality.

As if she might vanish into thin air at any moment—Song Cheng had been walking right behind her. Su Kui's aloof and indifferent treatment over the past few days had made him too timid to easily provoke her wrath.

Yet, the scene before his eyes suddenly made his heart skip a beat. Su Kui, walking ahead of him, pressed forward without once looking back. Countless motes of light blurred her silhouette, making it look as though she possessed the resolute determination of someone leaving on a journey of no return.

Careless of anything else, he took several long strides to catch up with the woman ahead, reaching out to grasp Su Kui's small hand tightly.

Su Kui's body stiffened; she almost instinctively countered with a shoulder throw using that very hand. Fortunately, a familiar scent drifted into her nostrils first, allowing her to slam the brakes on her reflexes just in time and hold back her attack.

She tried to yank her hand away, but failed. Turning her head, she swept a cold glare over him. "Let go!"

Had she decided to forgive him yet? Absolutely not! If she didn't teach him a profound lesson this time, what would happen if such a thing occurred again? Wouldn't she be walking straight to her doom?

To her surprise, Song Cheng did not let go. Instead, he gripped her even tighter—so tightly that Su Kui could actually hear the faint cracking sound of her own bones.

With her pain receptors being exceptionally sensitive, Su Kui instantly furrowed her brow, her delicate eyebrows knitting together. "You're hurting me! Are you out of your mind?"

Though he had thought he was already accustomed to her cold words, how could he ever truly be? Especially after having tasted the sweetness of her gentle and soft-spoken words not long ago, his heart felt as though it were being squeezed by countless pairs of hands, aching to the point of near-suffocation.

Taking a deep breath, Song Cheng forced a smile back onto his face. His obsidian-like eyes were brimming with bitterness, and with a raw, hoarse voice, he murmured softly, "Wanwan, I know what I did is hard to forgive, but can you please give me another chance?"

Su Kui raised an eyebrow, noncommittal. "You said it yourself that it's unforgivable. What kind of chance do you still want me to give?"

Yet inwardly, she was thinking: *If you're still going to be a stubborn, closed-mouth gourd after all this, then get lost as far as you can!*

"I..." His heartbeat suddenly accelerated. Song Cheng felt that this was probably the most tongue-tied moment of his entire life, but he vaguely sensed that if he didn't speak out now, he might never have another chance.

Therefore, he pressed his lips together, resolutely turned Su Kui's body around, and lowered his gaze to meet her shimmering, water-like eyes directly. "Just like the bold declaration you made to me in the elevator that day, when you swore so solemnly to capture my heart..."

"Go on," Su Kui curved her pink lips, encouraging him to continue.

Taking a deep breath, he said, "I want to tell you that you don't need to come and take it; I have already walked right into the trap of my own accord, and before I even knew it, I fell completely."

After uttering the words he had hidden in his heart for so long, Song Cheng felt an instantaneous sense of relief. The emotions that had weighed heavily on him for so long finally parted like mist, allowing the sunlight to shine through.

*Finally cracking under the pressure, are we? Excellent—*

However, something seemed to be missing.

Therefore, with a bland expression and a breezy tone, Su Kui retorted, "Is that it?"

"What?" Song Cheng was slightly stunned. The brilliant and formidable Big Boss Song was uncharacteristically dull when it came to matters of the heart.

*Hmph!* Twisting the corners of her lips in disdain, Su Kui yanked her hand free from Song Cheng's tight grip and turned on her heel to leave.

Su Kui had been cherished and doted on by everyone since she was a child. The foolishness she had displayed by tasting love for the first time earlier, eagerly running up only to be hurt by others—she deserved that much for being naive. But today, if Song Cheng didn't make his stance explicitly clear, then whoever wanted to deal with him could go ahead, because this lady wasn't going to play along anymore!
