The Billionaire's Priceless Darling: 33 Days of the CEO's Pursuit - Chapter 228 - Her Vulnerability Makes Him Heartache 1

Chu Shixiu’s series of urgent and rapid words brought tears to Gu Xiaoai’s eyes.

Her hand was still held tightly in his.

His palm carried his warmth, and a faint scent of mint lingered on him.

Entrust him with a lifetime?

Entrust whom with a lifetime? Li Juefeng or Chu Shixiu?

A lifetime of marriage.

She could never have a beautiful marriage in this lifetime, because his fiancée… was not her.

After a while, with reddened eyes, she forced back her sobs and looked at him, expressionless, asking, “Chu Shixiu, you are twenty-two too, you are already engaged, have you decided?”

Decided that Liang Nuannuan is the one he wants?

Upon hearing this, Chu Shixiu was stunned and released her hand.

Looking at her own lowered hand, Gu Xiaoai’s heart felt empty for the first time, an empty void, nothing at all.

Chu Shixiu’s face was also a pale, bleak white, his tone somewhat awkward, “I thought about waiting for you to come back. If I had known I could find you this year, I wouldn’t have gotten engaged.”

What would it mean to find her?

To give her an explanation? To tell her he was getting engaged.

Like writing on the blackboard in a kindergarten classroom, asking if she would bless him, wish him a happy marriage…

Seeing Chu Shixiu like this, she suddenly felt very uncomfortable.

He thought her evasion and avoidance were because he hadn’t found her sooner, so he felt apologetic, so he felt awkward…

But he didn’t understand, from childhood to adulthood, she had never been angry with him, no matter what he did.

“In fact, after all these years, everything has changed.”

Gu Xiaoai looked at the guilt and pallor on Chu Shixiu’s face, slowly raised her hand wearing the ring, her tone somewhat indifferent, her expression nonchalant, “I’m not getting married, the ring looked pretty so I wore it, why must it have the significance of marriage?”

“…” Chu Shixiu looked at her silently, his face still pale.
