Your Beloved Sweetheart Is Online-Chapter 1718 - 1721: From Now On, I Make Money, You Spend It (Part 3)

Gu Shaocheng then asked, "Stay here for a lifetime to be at your beck and call?"

Hua Hua: "Uh..." A lifetime, isn’t that too long?

He just thought not to feel sad for the time being. Last time, when Brother Ling left without a word, he felt like he was heartbroken, out of sorts all day long. Isn’t he worried it’ll be the same again this time?

Gu Shaocheng elegantly spun his chair, looking up at Hua Hua in thought, clasping his hands like an emperor scrutinizing his subject: "Hua Hua, what exactly do you feel about Ling Yin?"

"Before, when I asked you how you felt about Ling Yin, you said you didn’t know, that you couldn’t see your own heart clearly; after spending time together recently, what do you feel about Ling Yin now? Talk to me about it."

Hua Hua was silent for a long time.

Gu Shaocheng didn’t press him, just waited quietly for him to figure out what he truly wanted.

"If you want me to help you keep him here, at least give me a reason to do so."

"Ling Yin is not you. You can bear the title of Qingcheng’s chief designer, work for two days if you feel like it, and just drive around if you don’t. It’s fine that you don’t really need to make money for the company; I can support you forever."

"But Ling Yin is different. He has his responsibilities and career. The matters of the Charm World Corporation are no less intense than my daily workload. As the head of the seven leaders of Charm World, he can’t just accompany you everywhere to eat, drink, and play. He has a ton of matters in his company to deal with. If you want me to help keep him here, fine, I’ll help you keep him, but how long do you intend to keep him here? A month, two months, or a year and a half?"

"I’m telling you, this is an unrealistic issue. He can’t stay here forever, even if it’s to pursue you. If a man forgets his responsibilities in pursuit of his love and neglects his career, such a man I would look down on and would never consider him someone you could entrust your life to."

"Hua Hua, if you seriously intend to date him, you must think this over seriously. Long-distance relationships are inevitable in the future unless you’re willing to leave your family and go with him, understand?"

"I won’t abandon my family and leave with him," Hua Hua hurriedly explained.

"Nor will I allow you to abandon your family and leave with him," Gu Shaocheng said with relief, adding, "Unless you two are truly married, I won’t allow it." If they’re not married, he wouldn’t feel easy. Even though Ling Yin seems quite good to Hua Hua at the moment, he couldn’t let Hua Hua go alone to a strange place.

Frowning, Hua Hua slumped into the chair beside him, swinging his legs back and forth. In front of Gu Shaocheng, he hesitated for a long time before admitting, "I seem to be a little bit in love with him, Brother, do you think Ling Yin is really suitable?"

"What do you think?"

Hua Hua didn’t know. "I don’t know either. I like the feeling of being pursued by him, that feeling of being gently cradled in someone’s palm is wonderful; I feel quite happy being with him. But I’m not sure if it’s just because I’ve been lonely for so long that I have this illusion."

"For example, at mealtime, I like him making a tableful of my favorite dishes, calling me to wash my hands while arranging the cutlery. That feeling is super warm, and whenever I think of that scene, I feel especially energized in life;"

"For instance, late at night, when I turn over and find a warm body I can hold or be held by, he’ll cover me with a blanket if I kick it off, bring water to my lips when I’m thirsty, and I feel like the night isn’t so bad after all;"
