Chapter 240: Chapter 240 Big Brother in Danger 2_1

"Are you... really willing?" Liu Ying stared with teary, blurred eyes, incredulously gazing at him.

"It’s true..." Xia Changyi tugged at the pale corners of his lips, repeating it once more.

"Changyi! Thank you! Thank you! Otherwise, I really wouldn’t know what to do! You know, this world is just too unfair to women!" Liu Ying, overwhelmed with emotion, suddenly plunged into his embrace and began to cry.

However, beneath the tears, her full lips curled up in triumph.

The plan had succeeded!

She knew that an honest man like him could never stand by and watch his lifesaver die.

As expected, her gamble had paid off!

As for his claim that he would not fall in love with her, she put that aside, knowing there was plenty of time ahead and she had endless tricks to make him fall for her.

If all else failed, she had it all figured out; love was nothing but hot air—wasn’t money all that mattered?

Out of consideration for Liu Ying’s reputation, the elder brother did not bring her back to the predetermined hotel immediately but opened a new room for her to freshen up instead.

It wasn’t until the next morning that the elder brother brought Liu Ying back.

Upon seeing him, Gu Yunyun’s eyes immediately reddened, "Changyi, where did you go? You don’t know how worried I was about you last night, and when I called your cell phone you didn’t answer, I was going crazy."

Underneath the girl’s eyes were distinct dark circles, clearly having not slept well due to worry.

Xia Changyi so wished he could reach out and hold the girl in his arms, providing comfort, but as soon as he thought of Liu Ying’s situation, his expression instantly darkened.

It seemed he and she had no chance in this lifetime!

Gu Yunyun failed to notice his change and continued, "Also, Liu Ying, where were you last night too?"

After asking, Gu Yunyun immediately had a bad feeling in the pit of her stomach.

Could it be that they were together last night?

As if guessing her thoughts, Liu Ying timidly said, "Last night, I, I was with Changyi..."

Her voice trailing off, shy and timid, plainly hinted at a deep relationship with Xia Changyi.

She even casually let her scarf fall away from her neck, revealing a mark underneath.

Gu Yunyun’s eyes widened in disbelief.

She had clung to a sliver of hope, telling herself that perhaps the two had just run into each other by chance, but now...

As an adult, she knew all too well what that mark was.

The thought of a man and a woman alone together for a night made Gu Yunyun feel a sharp pain in her chest, her face trembling so much she could hardly maintain her expression.

How could they end up together?

More and more tears cascaded from Gu Yunyun’s eyes, and she could no longer hold them back, covering her mouth as she sobbed and ran out.

Heartbreak!

She never felt so heartbroken in her life!

"Yunyun?" Xia Changyi instinctively started to follow her, but seeing Liu Ying’s red eyes and her look of suppressed pain, he eventually stopped in his tracks.

It was no use; they were never meant to be.

Why entangle themselves further?

He might as well resign himself to it completely.

Xia Changyi heard the clear sound of his heart dying.

Seeing he didn’t chase after her, Liu Ying, from an angle he couldn’t see, curled the corner of her lips.

Hah!

What did it matter if Gu Yunyun was the darling of heaven? In the end, the man she liked became hers!
