Your Beloved Sweetheart Is Online

Chapter 368 - 370: Grievous Lesson8_1

He didn’t know if she was acting stubborn with him, and he couldn’t understand how a woman could have so many tears and so much snot. A whole box of tissues was turned into clumps and recklessly thrown onto the carpet in the blink of an eye.

"Lift your face, look at me, admit that you’re wrong, and promise not to make the same mistake again."

Chenxing ignored him and continued to wipe her nose. She bit her lips tightly, clenching her teeth so hard that she was afraid to let go for fear that she would burst into tears.

Even in a quiet room, her suppressed sobbing could not be concealed.

Gu Shaocheng tapped on the bed. "Did you hear me?"

Chenxing’s body was shaking violently. Hearing his words, she closed her eyes as if thinking that doing so would allow her to escape her current reality.

The sound of her sobbing was frantic at first, then became calmer, then suddenly frantic again, and then calmer... like a tug-of-war.

"Can’t you hear me?!"

"...Wr...wro...I’m wr...wrong...huu huu...huu huu..."

With great difficulty, she squeezed out these words, feeling a deep resentment towards this ruthlessly harsh man at this moment.

The drastic contrast between being cherished and being neglected was unbearable for her. She buried her head into the pillow, curled her body away from him, her back shaking slightly. Biting her lips, her tears kept falling.

She waited for a long time, wanting him to comfort her, wanting him to pity her...

Nothing happened.

Perhaps the feelings of helplessness were too overwhelming, her grievances were increasingly out of control.

This time she really cried out loud. The more she wanted to cry, the more out of control her sobbing was, like a flood running wild, serving as an outlet for her grievances.

Her lower lip was bitten so hard it turned pale, a clear tooth mark visible.

She wanted to quickly get rid of her helpless state, wished to shrink back into the comfort of her quilt, and hide in a safe place. She pushed all her wrongdoings to the back of her mind, and all that was left in her heart was resentment.

Resentment for his ruthless and heartless behavior.

Gu Shaocheng extinguished the cigarette in his hand, fetched a box of tissues from the study, took out two, grabbed her arm, and lifted her disheveled face.

She didn’t know where she found the strength, but she refused to lift her head to look at him.

She was as stubborn as a bull.

His voice took on a dangerous tone, "Are you trying to pick a fight with me? Was I wrong to hit you?"

She wouldn’t let him see her face. Although she was no match for his strength, she quickly covered her face with her hands. She didn’t dare to look at him nor let him see her. He had hit her in earnest, causing her to lose face.

In an instant, all the good things about him in her mind shattered, leaving only his harshness.

To be honest, at this moment, her greatest wish was for him to disappear. She felt that she might not dare to face him for several days due to embarrassment.

She was exhausted and in pain from the beating.

This brought out her suppressed temper.

Gu Shaocheng pulled her into his arms, lightly patting her back. His voice softened a great deal as he looked at her with a teasing smile, "Still throwing a fit, huh? Lift up your face, let me see what kind of a crying mess you have become..."

No, she couldn’t. When he pulled her close, she quickly wrapped her arms around his waist, buried her head deep into his abdomen, and refused to lift it. She kept murmuring, "You were wrong to hit me, it’s wrong to hit me! Violence! It’s violence!"

"Can’t you just talk things over with me normally? What have I done wrong? Did I do something so unforgivable that you had to beat me so mercilessly?"
