Rebirth of a Village Girl novel Chapter 1047

Chapter 1047: 258: Confession (Part Seven)

Hearing the familiar voice, Shangguan Xi couldn’t control herself anymore and hugged his waist directly.

She burst into a loud cry.

The feeling was like that of a child who had been wronged, suddenly seeing an adult from home.

All the grievances were infinitely magnified at that moment.

Wu Chenjun froze, not knowing what to do, he said, "Tell me, who bullied you? I’ll go get revenge for you!"

Not only did Shangguan Xi not answer Wu Chenjun, but she cried even louder.

There weren’t many reasons that could make Shangguan Xi cry so heartbroken.

It must be because of some pretty-faced boy.

With slightly furrowed brows, Wu Chenjun looked up ahead.

Sure enough, he saw Zuo Ling not far away, laughing and chatting with another woman.

This pretty-faced boy, having Shangguan Xi so good and not cherishing her, actually went to flirt with other women!

Wu Chenjun’s eyes filled with anger.

"Is it Zuo Ling, that pretty-faced boy who bullied you? Wait! I’ll go beat him up right now!"

Daring to bully Shangguan Xi!

He doesn’t see whose woman Shangguan Xi is!

Wu Chenjun released Shangguan Xi and strode over toward Zuo Ling.

"Don’t go!" Shangguan Xi reached out and grabbed Wu Chenjun’s hand.

Wu Chenjun could easily have brushed off Shangguan Xi’s hand.

But he just couldn’t.

His hand felt electrified, tingling all over.

"Don’t go!" Shangguan Xi choked up, "Could you take me away from here?"

She didn’t want to face Zuo Ling, nor did she want Zuo Ling to see her in such a sorry state!

She just wanted to leave this place immediately!

"Okay!" Wu Chenjun gripped Shangguan Xi’s hand firmly, shielding her in his arms and using his suit jacket to cover her face, striding toward the exit.

Passersby looked on curiously, but none saw Shangguan Xi’s discomposure.

Wu Chenjun escorted Shangguan Xi to the car, "Where do you want to go?"

Shangguan Xi shook her head, "I don’t know."

Zuo Ling was her first love, and the one she wanted to marry ideally; the sudden turn of events made her feel as if her world had collapsed.

The whole world turned dark.

Wu Chenjun reached out and ruffled Shangguan Xi’s hair, "It’s just a man, isn’t it? Shangguan Xiaosi, are you that frail? I remember the old you wasn’t like this."

Shangguan Xi glared at Wu Chenjun, her voice still thick with tears, "What do you know? You’ve never been in love."

"How do you know I’ve never been in love?" Wu Chenjun countered.

Shangguan Xi was taken aback, "Ah? Have you?"

It made sense, after all. Wu Chenjun had been abroad for so many years; how could he have never been in love?

Wu Chenjun smiled and handed Shangguan Xi a tissue, "Want to wipe your tears? You’re stronger than me; at least you once had love, while I never even had that."

There was a trace of forlornness in the depths of Wu Chenjun’s eyes.

Shangguan Xi casually wiped her eyes, "Ah? What do you mean?"

"Um..." Wu Chenjun fell silent, "I mean, it’s about being secretly in love! Shangguan Xiaosi, after all these years, how can you still be as clueless as before?"

His remark was ambiguous.

Everyone around him could see that he liked Shangguan Xi, except for Shangguan Xi herself.

In fact, Shangguan Xi really hadn’t noticed.

"Ah? You have someone you secretly like?"

Wu Chenjun was handsome, well-educated, from a good family, and had studied abroad. Shangguan Xi thought he surely wouldn’t lack girlfriends.

It was unimaginable that Wu Chenjun had someone he secretly admired.

Truly incredible.

Wu Chenjun said with a smile, "You can have a boyfriend, why can’t I have someone I secretly admire?"

Shangguan Xi sniffled, "I—I didn’t mean that; my point is your standards are so high, what kind of girl wouldn’t be satisfied with you?"

Wu Chenjun sighed, "I also want to ask her what she doesn’t like about me, so I can change. Unfortunately, she doesn’t even want to give me a chance to change."

Shangguan Xi sighed too, "Wu Chenjun, you are so pitiful."

Compared to her, Wu Chenjun indeed seemed to be a lot more pitiful.

This comparison made Shangguan Xi feel a bit more balanced in her heart.

It seems that in this world, she wasn’t the only pitiful person...

"I’m so pitiful, does it make you feel a little better?" Wu Chenjun turned his head to look at Shangguan Xi.
