Your Beloved Sweetheart Is Online

Chapter 998 - 1001: Promise Me, Don’t Cry 5

"..."

"I don’t want to see anyone looking at me with pity in their eyes, and that includes you."

Chenxing bit her lip, clarifying, "It’s not pity, it’s heartache."

"Then don’t shed tears, just like right now. When you feel heartache, smile for me, relax with me, okay?" His voice was gentle and faint, "When you smile for me, my mood gets better too. Your smile is the sunshine I long for, shining on me, warming me. When I feel hopeless about the world, fearful of the future, smile for me. Promise me you’ll never cry in front of me, remember?"

Chenxing knew, Chenxing understood, she nodded vigorously: "Mhm, I’ll remember."

"That’s the good wife I want." He kissed her with satisfaction, feeling a ripple in his heart: "Now, smile for me again."

After Chenxing smiled, he shaped his fingers like a chestnut and unceremoniously tapped her forehead: "Your smile looks uglier than crying!"

"You’re the one whose smile looks uglier than crying." Chenxing stuck out her tongue, wriggled out of his embrace, and hugged her precious doll Shaocheng, rolling it clockwise then counterclockwise, smiling creepily at the doll before raising her fists and hitting it lightly twice: "Hit me again, hit me again, if you hit me one more time, I won’t be nice to you, hmph."

Gu Shaocheng’s eye twitched, his face full of black lines.

Chenxing ignored him completely, acting as though she would be fine with just the doll and not his real person.

"Who gave you this thing?" How dare someone give his woman such a thing!

Sitting up with the precious doll Shaocheng, Chenxing tilted her head and thought: "I don’t know. Recently, so many people have been giving me things, all kinds of gifts. The butler said they’re engagement presents, but this one, I fell in love with at first sight."

Other gifts were either jewelry necklaces or expensive items, the butler said those people were attempting to curry favor in a roundabout way.

Gu Shaocheng hummed. He would definitely find out who dared make a chibi doll of him; such a poor attempt at flattery irritated him just thinking about it!

He grabbed the chibi doll from her arms, ready to throw it away. Chenxing lunged at him, screaming, "Give it back to me, give it back!"

"I’m throwing it away!"

"Don’t throw it away. I really like it, Shaocheng, give it back to me!" Chenxing was desperate, fearing he would destroy it. They tussled over the doll, rolling around on the bed in a scuffle, "Wuu, give it back, give it back, give it back to me!"

"Which is more important, me or this raggedy thing?" Gu Shaocheng raised an eyebrow.

Chenxing blurted out, "Of course you’re more important, but... but..." She stamped her foot in frustration, "But this doll is so fun, look, it’s so much like you. Look at those eyes, how expressive!"

Chenxing held the pillow tightly with both hands and pointed at the doll’s eyes. Gu Shaocheng huffed lightly, not giving it a glance, but Chenxing insisted that he look, incessantly comparing it by his side. Gu Shaocheng’s face soured, and he casually glanced at the doll modeled after him.

It was a casual glance at first, but then his brow furrowed tightly, especially as he stared at the doll’s eyes. His gaze darkened, and he forcefully snatched the doll from Chenxing’s arms. Chenxing panicked, and he growled, "Stop it, let me have a look."

The little girl pouted, "Then you can’t throw it away."

The next second, Gu Shaocheng gouged the eyes out of the doll!
