Chapter 1152: There’s Really Nothing Between Us and Him
Di Jinxuan was startled and took a sip of her juice. "No, I’m not dating anyone."
"But when Brother Jin keeps calling you his wife, and even refers to himself as your husband, you don’t refute him?" Gu Qibao asked.
"What’s the use of refuting?" Di Jinxuan retorted.
Uh, Gu Qibao was stuck, it seemed, it really was useless!
"I think Brother Jin is quite good." Di Xiaxia said, "Xuanxuan, why not give it a try?"
Di Jinxuan looked towards Di Xiaxia and suddenly said, "Fourth sister, didn’t he say that to you before?"
Di Xiaxia was suddenly stunned, things suddenly became awkward.
She suddenly remembered that she had gossiped about this matter with Di Jinxuan before.
Damnit, she had forgotten all about it, but Di Jinxuan still remembered it.
Di Xiaxia suddenly broke into a heavy sweat, as if it was pouring.
Immediately she said, "That was just a joke, how could you take it seriously?"
Di Jinxuan did not speak, and the atmosphere was slightly awkward.
"What did Brother Jin say?" Gu Qibao couldn’t help but ask out of curiosity.
"Yeah, what did my third brother say?" Nangong Ran also asked curiously.
Di Xiaxia frowned, suddenly feeling very guilty. She looked at Di Jinxuan with utmost seriousness and said, "Xuanxuan, Brother Jin was just joking with me, you absolutely can’t take it seriously. If it was serious, why would he be chasing you instead of me?"
Di Jinxuan took another sip of her juice and remained silent for two seconds before looking at Di Xiaxia and directly saying, "Because elder brother was chasing you at that time, that’s why Brother Jin gave up. Maybe if elder brother hadn’t pursued you, you two would already be together? Didn’t mom also say you two were quite compatible?"
Di Xiaxia fell silent; so this was what had been bothering Di Jinxuan?
Was this the reason she always disagreed with being with Nangong Jin?
She and Nangong Jin were really just joking around, neither took it seriously.
She could see that, because one’s eyes can’t lie—Nangong Jin truly had no such feelings for her.
Perhaps he said so at that time because he was already a bit too old and wanted a girlfriend, which was perfectly normal.
But that was just a playful statement; even if she agreed to give it a try, it didn’t mean they would end up together.
But if this was the reason for Di Jinxuan, Di Xiaxia remained silent, suddenly feeling like she was a sinner.
"Xuanxuan." After a while, Di Xiaxia looked at Di Jinxuan and spoke unabashedly, "I don’t know how to explain to you, there are many things you might not understand because you weren’t there, and even if you were, you weren’t the person involved, so you wouldn’t know what he really thought, and what I truly felt, so your conclusion may not be right.
If you think Nangong Jin pursued you because he couldn’t have me, I really don’t know what to say. I can only say, he and I are just good friends, nothing more. We had absolutely no romantic feelings.
There was a time when I was at elder brother’s place, he didn’t even bother with me, I was playing games all day, and so was Nangong Jin, but we didn’t interact much. Nangong Jin is a really nice person, good-tempered; I won’t deny that during that period, he tried to cheer me up in the games, but his righteousness had nothing to do with romance.
Because he has never asked me out alone, nor has he said anything like he said to you, do you understand? He has always just considered me a friend. The previous joke about giving it a try was also because his heart wasn’t in it, so it was said offhand and definitely shouldn’t be taken seriously.
If he really wanted to try, then why didn’t he chase me even when elder brother and I were not yet together? Don’t even talk about coming to hassle me every day, he didn’t even make a single phone call to me, I can swear on it, you can check my phone records, if he ever called me alone, asked me out alone, said a single romantic word to me, mentioned trying to be together even once, may I be struck by lightning if I lie."
