"With your current popularity, you also have a lot of fans, so you don't need to be afraid." Gong Xingzhou seemed to be comforting her with these words.

Ji Lingling heard that his words were somewhat humane, and her attitude naturally softened.

"Why did you suddenly make this decision?"

Gong Xingzhou's decision puzzled her.

"After so many years of being willful, it's time for me to calm down."

"Huh?" Ji Lingling didn't understand the meaning of his words, "You have reached the top in this industry and are very good. How can you say you are willful?"

Gong Xingzhou did not answer.

"Ji Lingling."

"Um?"

"You helped me this time, and the grudge between us has been settled."

"..."

Inexplicably, Ji Lingling was stunned for a moment, why did he suddenly say this.

"Gong Xingzhou, I...we..."

"Don't mention the past things anymore, everything is in the past." Gong Xingzhou said calmly.

Is it all over? The relationship that once belonged to them is over?

"Oh, Master Gong, have you figured it out?" Ji Lingling said with a playful smile, "If you had figured it out earlier, why would I have to suffer so many grievances?"

"Are you wronged? Didn't you ask for this?"

"Well...it's true that I was a little proud at that time. I always thought that as long as I look back, what belongs to me will never change. It's because I ignored people's hearts and I overestimated myself."

When they mentioned what happened back then, the mood between them was no longer as heavy as before.

Gong Xingzhou looked at her calmly.

Ji Lingling faced him face to face. She raised her head and there seemed to be light in her eyes. "I used to be naive and thought that if you love someone, you will love them until the end, until you grow old and enter the coffin. But now I realize that I am an abuser."

As a person who is not single-minded in love, I no longer have that kind of feeling for you now. If I did, I might just be grateful."

Gong Xingzhou looked at her without speaking.

"Not only do men always like eighteen-year-olds, but so do women. Just withdraw from the circle and wait until we break up after a while. At that time, I can find young girls as I please." Ji Lingling said with a smile.

Gong Xingzhou bent down slightly, and he came closer to her, "Can the little fresh meat like you?"

"Everyone knows the charm of my sister."

The two of them looked at each other with smiles in their eyes.

"Then I wish you can find your own brother soon."

"Thank you, and I hope you can do the things you like after quitting the circle."

"Thanks."

Ji Lingling stretched out her hand towards him. A hug was too ambiguous. In that case, let's shake hands.

Gong Xingzhou looked at her hand and held it.

"Gong Xingzhou, wait and see, I will become the new top class."

"Don't you like Xiaofu Ji'an?"

"But who doesn't have a head start?"

At first, she was careless and heartless, but after accidentally learning his identity, she only had one thought in her mind: she wanted to stand side by side with him.

She has been looking up to him for so many years, and this may be destiny, she will never be able to stand with him in this life.

Gong Xingzhou, I just said something illegal, because only in this way can I face you openly.

If love can be easily erased, then why are there so many sad people in the world?

"Before I withdraw from the industry, I will give you another wave of hype to help you win the role of the great director."

"Uh... you are so enthusiastic, I'm a little overwhelmed." Ji Lingling's nose was a little sore. He must have really let it go. He looked at her with calm eyes, without any emotion, and her heart was as calm as water.

How can a person have love?

Ji Lingling lowered her head to hide the changes in her heart.

Suddenly, his big hand gently placed on her head.

"Don't you want to be the top? I will help you."

Ji Lingling raised her head, and she suddenly thought of that hot summer night.

——Gong Xingzhou, what do you have? I want to be a big star, can you help me? You can't do anything. Let's break up.

At this moment, tears could no longer be controlled from flashing in my eyes.

She wants to go back to the past and take back these words. She doesn't want to be a star, nor does she want to be top.

She just wants to live a simple life with Gong Xingzhou, hold a warm, romantic and simple wedding, and have two babies. They work from nine to five, and their life is not rich, but they have a warm home.

But, she missed it.

"Gong Xingzhou, do you still hate me?" Ji Lingling asked in a hoarse voice.

There was still no change in Gong Xingzhou's eyes, "It has been too long, and I have forgotten my hatred."

"I don't believe it." Ji Lingling said with a smile, "If you have given up, why haven't you got a girlfriend yet?"

At this time, I saw the corners of Gong Xingzhou's lips raised slightly.

"Ji Lingling, do you know? People like me are not qualified to choose their own girlfriends."

"What?"

"I want to take over the Gong Group, and I have already chosen a marriage partner."

"..."

"marriage partner?"

"Um."

"Gong Xingzhou, why do you want to get married?" Ji Lingling wanted to control her emotions and not act too eager, but she couldn't help but hold his arm with her hand.

"Business marriage, strong alliance, this is normal."

"Who is your marriage partner? Chen Manshu, the young daughter of Chen's Home Textiles in City A."

"..."

His marriage partner has a given name.

Tears slid down his cheeks uncontrollably.

She looked at him blankly, he really wanted to belong to someone else.

She held his hand tightly with both hands, and her heart could not help but tremble.

"Congratulations..." She wanted to say congratulations, but, for some reason, she couldn't say it anyway.

"I'm sorry." Ji Lingling suddenly felt that she had lost her composure. She took back her hand and wiped her tears randomly, "Sorry, sorry." She turned her head away, not wanting him to see her embarrassment.

Ji Lingling forced her heart to break, and she said with a smile, "It's great. You don't even have to fall in love, you just get married. It's great, it's great."

She kept talking.

She was smiling, but God knows how ugly her smile was.

Gong Xingzhou, she has loved the man her whole youth and wants to marry someone else.

She loved him for three years, fell in love with him for one year, separated for three years, and had conflicts for three years. Ten years passed in the blink of an eye.

Looking back, he already had a marriage partner, but she had to pretend to be strong in front of him.

Gong Xingzhou held her arm, and Ji Lingling looked at him with tears in her eyes.

Gong Xingzhou smiled gently at her, "Do you need a hug?"

In an instant, Ji Lingling's inner defenses collapsed.

She knew that this hug was the end of their relationship.

"want."

Gong Xingzhou took a step forward and gently took her into his arms.

Ji Lingling nestled against his chest, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.

He is very gentle, just like when he was in school. He is proud and noble, but he is especially gentle to her.

I remember when they first moved in together, they slept together in a daze because she was drunk.

Gong Xingzhou was shy and ignored her for two days. Later he said that he was ashamed because he accidentally bumped into her while sleeping.

Later, she attended a class reunion and got drunk. She used the drunkenness to make trouble with him and always rubbed him. In the end, Gong Xingzhou couldn't control it and ended up with her.
