Chapter 77: My Arms Are Waiting For You, Always
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“It was my fault four years ago. I should never have listened to Ji Jianing’s nonsense. Weixi, we grew up together—there’s no one who understands you more than I do, and I believe that’s the same for you… I really missed our days in school.”
Even as Mo Nanfeng spoke, he was looking at Ji Weixi longingly as he tugged at his own sleeve nervously. “Actually, over the last four years… I… I kept thinking about you. I know we can’t be together now, but that’s not important… the only thing that matters is that I hold you in my heart! Weixi, I know you’re very hurt and you couldn’t forget about me your entire life… but I still want to tell you…”
Taking a deep breath, he looked at her tearfully. “My arms are waiting for you, always. 1”
Ji Weixi stared back into his longing and earnest eyes, feeling nothing inside apart from an urge to laugh.
Did he think he was trying to coax a child?
Ji Weixi would certainly have been moved and tearful if Mo Nanfeng told her those things four years ago, even falling for him completely.
But now, she was a mother and had long since lost her innocence.
She sighed inwardly.
Fate was a curious thing.
A person might not be your destined just because the fates had allowed you to meet them.
It was ironic in retrospect how she once believed Mo Nanfeng was her destiny.
Even if time could be turned back to four years ago, she definitely would not have feelings for him.
“You’re a funny one, Mister Mo.” Ji Weixi mocked coolly. “Perhaps you had assumed that this is a lounge? My time is precious, and I’m not here to listen to your remorse. It’s useless, you should castrate yourself, understand?”
Anyone who has bones in their body can bow. It showed no sincerity at all.
If you have to do something, do what others couldn’t—only then does it count.
Meanwhile, Mo Nanfeng, who had played the act of a sentimental man had assumed that Ji Weixi would have more or less be moved even if she was a stone.
Still, his face turned green at the word ‘castrate’, and his mood instantly exploded.
He would no longer stick to the script he had prepared before coming here because he thought that he had been sincere enough.
Even so, Ji Weixi was not buying it. She doesn’t know what’s good for herself!
“Weixi, don’t you know that you’re being unpleasant?” He gritted his teeth, his breaths turning rapid in his rage.
“Unpleasant?” Ji Weixi smiled politely. “Mister Mo, you should know that not all things in this world can be forgiven.”
Mo Nanfeng held back the rage threatening to escape his lips. “I know that I was wrong, and I have been punished as I should be. What more do you want?”
“What punishment?” Ji Weixi played dumb, blinking innocently. “Weren’t you suppose to inherit Mo Group? Living in such comfort, where’s the punishment?”
“Actually, Mo Group…” Mo Nanfeng was about to reveal the truth, but he swallowed his words because his ego did not allow him to be embarrassed.
“What happened to Mo Group?”
“Nothing…” Mo Nanfeng shifted his gaze, and suddenly his phone suddenly started to ring.
He quickly took it out of his pocket, his face going white when he saw the screen.
“Weixi, I’ll see you some other day.”
With that, he quickly got to his feet and fled in panic, entering the toilet and locking the door before receiving the call.
“Mo Nanfeng, where the hell have you been!” the caller roared.
Mo Nanfeng’s attitude had changed drastically and he was smiling apologetically. “Bro Dong, please calm down. I’m trying to get the money for you.”
However, Bro Dong shot back, “You tricked me every time! I’m telling you this is your last chance, and you know what will happen if you still can’t pay up!”
With that, Bro Dong hung up.
Mo Nanfeng clenched his phone, his eyes welling with overwhelming hate.
Would he have been so miserable if Mo Group didn’t go bankrupt?
