My Wife is a Goddess: 99 Secret Kisses-Chapter 117 A REWARD PART 5

Xue Lin sincerely said, "You don't have to be happy if you don't want to. Truthfully, it's not a happy occasion. But we all know it's not your fault. It's a good thing that things were revealed or who knows how long Xiao Rong and you had to suffer. Let's give them some time to think. The more time they will take to think, the more their minds will become clear. If you think Mumu needs help, don't forget to call me. I'll definitely help her. And I'm grateful that you helped her despite her attitude toward you in the past. I haven't given up on this world because people like you are still alive. Thank you."

Susu smiled. "No, Miss Xue Lin, thanks to you I haven't given up. It's you who told me to think about the greater good."

----------

The day before yesterday, after brainwashing Xiao Rong, Xue Lin was resting in her room. That's when Susu came to meet her. "Miss Xue Lin, I'm thinking of giving up on Xiao Rong. I don't want him to be the bad guy in front of others. I'm ready to take all the blame."

Xue Lin sat up straight and said, "He has already become a cheat in others' eyes. What can be a worse label than this for the Student Council President?"

Susu looked determined when she said, "I'll tell everyone that this is all my fault and he has nothing to do with it. I'll tell them that I've seduced him."

Xue Lin lost words for a while. Here she was working so hard to encourage Xiao Rong, this girl wanted to ruin everything. But it wasn't her problem, so it shouldn't be her decision for their lives. She could only show them the right path.

She said, "That's very brave of you. I'm impressed. Love really makes people courageous. I wouldn't know it if I didn't believe you. Are you prepared for the consequences? You do realize that your career or life can be ruined because of your one simple action."

"I-I'm prepared." Truthfully, Susu hadn't thought that deeply.

And Xue Lin understood that right away. She carefully said, "Don't you think if you do it, your family members will be hurt the most? How long have you known Xiao Rong? Three years? Is it more valuable than the love of your family who raised you since your childhood? If they didn't take a good care of you, do you think you would survive in this world? No child can survive without elder's protection."

Susu protested, "B-but the problem was created by me. I should take the responsibility."

Xue Lin chuckled. "You humor me. I'm moved by your responsible heart. I hardly see such responsible people nowadays. But Susu, it's not your responsibility alone, its Xiao Rong's too. If you take it all by yourself, you are not helping Xiao Rong to grow up. And the willingness to sacrifice for your loved ones is a great characteristic. You wanting to get hurt for your loved ones is very admirable. But do you think your loved ones would want it? What if they feel responsible or get traumatized because of it? Will that make you feel better?"

"No!" Susu exclaimed. She didn't want that. She just wanted the problem to be solved. She didn't think that while solving the problem, she might create more problem for others.

Xue Lin exhaled deeply and said, "Because you think about others. You have a good heart. That's why you shouldn't burden yourself. I know it's not easy for you to share your burden but for your sake, if you do it, you will feel better. It's needed for a healthy life. You share yours and let your close ones share their burden with you. This way, you can all stay mentally healthy. Not for your sake but for the people you care about, do you think you can do it?"

Susu hesitated before saying, "…Okay. I will try."

Xue Lin gave her a reassuring smile. "That's better. I know you can do it."

----------

Susu recalled that time and said, "It's because of you things didn't go out of hand. I almost ruined everything."

"Don't worry about it." Xue Lin wasn't used to getting showered by such sincere gratefulness. She felt bashful. So, she shoved the credit to her husband. "It's the security guard who solved most of the problem. It wasn't me."

Susu continued, "I have already thanked him." She giggled. "He is very handsome and his eyes are very attractive. Miss Xue Lin, you have the same eye color as him, did you know?"

Xue Lin nodded. "Oh yes, but my eyes are light grey and his are dark grey."

"So you even noticed the difference between the eye colors! As expected of Miss Xue Lin. Are you two siblings?" Susu looked interested.

"No way!" Xue Lin exclaimed. Thinking of Ge Chen as her brother made her feel uncomfortable. 'Such sinful thoughts…' she quickly brushed aside the thought.

Susu remembered something and said, "Come to think of it, he has become popular among the female students. Some of them have a crush on him. They have already made a fan club. One student took a secret photo and sold it among the fan club members… I'm also a member of that fan club. I bought the photo."

Xue Lin paused. 'Why didn't I think of it sooner? But when did it start? It hasn't become a week since we joined.' She thought. "Can I see the picture?" She asked.

Susu's eyes sparkled. "Do you like him, Miss Xue Lin? I knew it!"

Xue Lin denied, "No, no, it's not like that. I just want to see the photo."

"Here," Susu handed her the photo. "Isn't he dreamy?" Clearly she has developed a crush on him after yesterday.

Xue Lin coughed dryly and looked at the photo. It was taken secretly when Ge Chen was talking to other security guards. He had a calm stance. He gave a majestic vibe. He clearly looked different from others though they were wearing the same uniform.

'Thank goodness he is using a mask. If he wasn't…' Xue Lin didn't dare to think the rest.
