Ch.50 We’re Not Meant for Each Other (1)

“Do you…really?” Lin Yueqi blinked her eyes at him, her emotions considerably more stable than before. Calmly, she said to him, “it’s good that you understand.”

Lu Ting patted her through her blanket and said softly to her, “You take a good rest. I’m going to take a call.”

“Okay…” Lin Yueqi quickly reacted to the meanings of his words. Staring at the back of his head, she quickly added, “I’m really not lying, Lu Ting.”

Lu Ting walked to the window to answer the call, but as if he heard something, he turned to look at Lin Yueqi again.

About an hour ago, Li Xing contacted Lin Yueqi’s assistant, Mu Xiaoke. He told him that he wanted to sign Lin Yueqi as an artist under his company flag.

But Xiaoke told Li Xing that Lin Yueqi was planning to quit the entertainment industry after this and won’t sign with any other company.

And when she insulted Qin Xue on the show, revealing the unpleasant “truth” of what she did, that was her determination to quit.

After Lu Ting hung up, he returned to the bed with a complicated expression.

Lin Yueqi quickly held up her fingers and swore, “I’ve never lied since I was a kid. My conscience won’t let me sleep at night if I ever do. Look at my sincere eyes, I’m really not lying to you. If I didn’t have the money right now, I really might go out of my way to cheat you with the little girl. You’re a good man, Lu Ting. I hope you’ll be able to stay away from scum like me. I’m a very jealous person. Not only am I jealous of Qin Xue, I even want to destroy her. But my plan didn’t succeed and that’s what happened to my face. It really might be holy retribution. After the scar faded from my face, I now have pimples all over…”

Her eyes were red while she spoke. Lu Ting did not speak and just looked quietly at her.

After confessing her “sins” to Lu Ting, Lin Yueqi sighed and asked again, “Brother Lu, do you understand me after all I’ve said?”

“Yeah.” Lu Ting frowned and gave a faint nod. “I understand. Do you think you’re not good enough for me right now? I told you that I don’t care about any of that.”

Lin Yueqi had been talking for half an hour and talked her mouth dry, but she still didn’t get to him.

Tuantuan’s dad never ever passed his reading comprehension tests, didn’t he?

Lin Yueqi’s patience had almost run out. She caught Lu Ting’s shoulders with her hands and opened her eyes wide at him. “Brother Lu, it’s not about whether you care or not, I’m the one with the problem here. I am a woman with a snake’s heart, how could I marry a handsome man like you? Take a good look at my face. Not only is it covered in pimples, I’ve also got scars on my face carved out by glass shards. Can a woman like me really receive your love? No…I can’t do it! I don’t deserve it! It goes against my conscience!”

“And also, Tuantuan…isn’t even your real daughter. How could a fat girl like her come out of a handsome man like you?”

“I’m not the good person you speak of. I’m not even one ten-thousandth of Qin Xue. She’s beautiful and pretty, has a good heart, so you should marry a woman like her, right?”

After speaking for the larger half of an hour, Qin Xue’s name kept popping up over and over again, causing him to be extremely suspicious of her.

Lu Ting recalled when she got angry with Qin Xue live on the show and said, “But that’s not what you said on the show. You said she was the one who deliberately exposed your relationship with your daughter. You said she was the one who disfigured you and cleverly escaped responsibility. You said she told your old boss to kick you out of the company.”

Lin Yueqi was speechless. “You…You saw the live stream? I…I was just trying to slander her. Even the fans knew that, didn’t you realize it?”

“But what I saw was a helpless girl trying to smear her own reputation to destroy her own career. I see a poor girl who wants to get out of the entertainment industry because she’s scared of being targetted and harmed by people again. Lin Yueqi, I don’t know how much you suffered over the years with Tuantuan, but I can promise you that no matter what happens in the future, I’ll never let go of either of you. I’ll take responsibility and take care of you.”

Lin Yueqi was stunned. Then, she sneered. “Enough. Promises are just talk, how many people do you think can really achieve that? Would you still marry me if those wicked supporting female leads turned me into a negative madman or a crazy psychopath who would beat on Tuantuan for no reason? You’re a CEO rich enough to take over a country, we’re heaven and earth apart. We really don’t match.”
