Chapter 943 The Little Princess’s Married-in Boyfriend (35)
That gaze held tenderness and some expectation.
Seeing that she didn’t reject him, his heart held on to hope.
Bai Weiwei silently cried tears in her heart. After a moment of silence, she finally resignedly climbed out of bed.
She walked up to Xu Menggui and lifted her head to look at him, affection in her brilliant eyes.
“You like me.”
This sentence was a declaration.
Xu Menggui felt the hope in his heart renew, and he couldn’t help but let a sliver of joy show on his face.
Perhaps letting go of everything, starting anew, and obtaining her forgiveness was the best result.
He nodded slowly. “I like you, Weiwei.”
Bai Weiwei revealed a lovable smile. “I also like you…”
Xu Menggui’s heart leapt wildly. Just as he was about to reach out to hug her.
Bai Weiwei said with a brilliant smile, “You didn’t actually think I would say something like that? How ridiculous.”
Xu Menggui froze. He stared at her blankly.
Bai Weiwei’s smile turned sharp. She lifted her chin, as arrogant as a white swan.
But her gaze was as piercing as a knife and bone-piercingly cold.
“Xu Menggui, in this lifetime, I’ll never forgive you. Your love is useless.”

Xu Menggui’s expression was calm, but his face was pale.
His eyes grew bloodshot, like that of a trapped beast, but his voice was still calm.
“Weiwei, don’t say anything that you’ll regret.”
This sentence sounded like a warning.
But it was more like a plea.
Bai Weiwei scoffed. “My biggest regret is liking you, believing you. But I won’t anymore.”
She said, one word at a time. “I don’t like you anymore, I don’t trust you. Get out of my house now.”
For a moment, Xu Menggui’s mind was blank.
He thought he would go insane when he heard these words.
But he didn’t. His heart just felt a bit hollow.
He even wanted to back down and escape in disgrace.

Xu Menggui’s fingers trembled slightly as he reached out to grab her.
But Bai Weiwei coldly pried his hands open. Her actions were clearly unthreatening to him.
Yet he couldn’t help but take a few steps back from the blow.
Bai Weiwei’s expression was cold. “You make me sick.”
Xu Menggui stiffened. He couldn’t refute a single sentence.
For the first time, he realized what was meant by “words to punish the heart1.”
It was as though his heart split open.
It wasn’t the same as the humiliation from abuse, nor the same was physical pain.
It hurt more.
It hurt him so much he couldn’t move.
The quivering in Xu Menggui’s eyes was obscured by a strong and calm front. He took a few steps back and smiled mockingly.
“You want me to get out of here?”
His mocking smile grew more distinct.
“This Bai family has already become mine. This house, the servants here, even the carpet you’re standing on, all belongs to me.”
Bai Weiwei looked shocked.
Xu Menggui grit his teeth and said hoarsely, “So what qualifications do you have to drive me out? This is all mine.”
Bai Weiwei’s smile faded. She looked at him with a gaze full of hatred.
“Since you’re so cruel, Xu Menggui, then I’ll leave.”
Saying this, Bai Weiwei turned to leave.
But Xu Menggui suddenly spoke. “I didn’t allow you to leave.”
Bai Weiwei didn’t look back. She sneered, her face pale, “With you here, I feel sick.”
【Scum abuse index: 35.】
After speaking, Bai Weiwei left the Bai family house, without an ounce of intention of looking back.
Xu Menggui didn’t chase after her. He stood in the same spot for a long time before lowering his head to look at his surroundings.
This was Bai Weiwei’s room.
There were traces of her left behind everywhere.
After looking around the room once, he suddenly calmly rolled up his sleeves, picked up something, and smashed it down.
He wrecked her entire room.
It was only once he finished smashing everything that he stopped and crouched down, covering his face in his hands.
This was the first time he had confessed to a girl.
