Chapter 267 Bold Confession
But no matter how fast she ran down the stairs, her path was still blocked by a tall and imposing figure that swiftly appeared out of nowhere.In front of Gu Qianxi, Tong Keke truly looked like a child—whether in age or in stature.
"I can’t let you just leave like this. I need to ensure your safety. Keke, you’re still young. You don’t truly understand what love is. Maybe you’re just overly dependent on me and have mistaken this feeling for love. When a few years have passed and you understand what love really means, you’ll realize your perception today was wrong," Gu Qianxi tried to reason with this little creature. His heart was in turmoil, and he didn’t even know what purpose his words served. He just felt that he couldn’t let her walk out of that door. If she left, this little woman would be gone from his life forever, unreachable ever again.
Tong Keke hung her head low and said with absolute certainty, "I believe this is love, not any other kind of feeling. I can tell the difference. Stop stopping me, just let me go. I’m begging you."
"No..." If it had been any other matter, seeing this little creature pleading with him like this, Gu Qianxi would have softened immediately and agreed to anything she asked without hesitation.
But today, no matter what, he couldn’t agree to her request.
"Gu Qianxi..." Her youthful voice suddenly called his name.
Gu Qianxi froze, as if an electric current had surged through his entire body, stunned by the crisp and enchanting voice of the girl before him.
Lost in his daze, Gu Qianxi felt a soft, fragrant presence close in. The next moment, a pair of moist lips lightly pressed against his firm, thin ones.
This time, it wasn’t just an electric current coursing through him—it felt like a bolt of lightning striking his body, leaving him dizzy and overwhelmed.
It lasted only a second. Tong Keke quickly pulled away from his lips, then let out a light chuckle. "Do you still think my feelings for you are just dependency? The truth proves otherwise. I love you, Gu Qianxi. I love you. I, Tong Keke, have fallen in love with you."
Gu Qianxi’s perfectly sculpted face abruptly turned crimson. In the next moment, he growled with embarrassment and anger, "Tong Keke, you’re being outrageous..."
Tong Keke hadn’t expected his reaction to be so angry, even calling her behavior outrageous. She let out a self-deprecating laugh and said, "That’s right. I want to be outrageous. And today, I only kissed you. In the future, I’ll be even greedier. I want to hold you. I want to fall asleep in your arms. I want to..."
"Shut up!" Gu Qianxi wouldn’t let her finish her sentence—he wouldn’t allow even a single more word.
Tong Keke pressed her lips together, grabbed the handle of her suitcase with her slender wrist, and made her way around the man’s tense, towering figure, quickly heading down the stairs.
Gu Qianxi’s large hand clenched into a tight fist. This time, it seemed he lacked the courage to stop her again.
A few minutes later, he heard the sound of a car at the villa’s entrance. His whole body trembled, and he turned quickly, rushing toward the door. In the darkness of the road outside, he saw the roar of a sports car fade into the distance.
Gu Qianxi furrowed his brows deeply. When he had returned earlier by car, he hadn’t noticed any other vehicles outside.
At this moment, Tong Keke must have left in that car. Whose car was it?
Her classmate’s? Or that wicked young man they’d encountered outside the restaurant the other day?
His heart was thrown into chaos. Gu Qianxi had never felt this disoriented, as if he had truly lost something most precious to him.
