The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 225 The opportunity was given to you, but you didn't seize it.

"A lot has happened between us recently, and it's not something that can be explained in a few words, nor is it convenient to go into details."

Lin Chen reached out and patted Gu Yuexi on the back: "How about this, three months! After three months, I will definitely give you a clear explanation!"

With those words, Lin Chen made up his mind completely.

If, three months later, he and Chu Jiaxue still divorce as they had agreed, then he will take Gu Yuexi and leave Pingjiang and Linhai, treating his relationship with Chu Jiaxue as nothing more than a dream.

If, after three months, he and Chu Jiaxue are not divorced, or if there are any new developments, he will tell Gu Yuexi everything.

Gu Yuexi immediately became anxious: "Brother, what do you mean? Are you not getting a divorce?"

Lin Chen smiled wryly: "I really don't know what she's thinking."

Gu Yuexi hugged Lin Chen tightly and said loudly, "I don't care, whether you get a divorce or not, I will not leave you. If you don't want me, I will be very sad and I will really cry."

Lin Chen said helplessly, "Nothing has happened yet, I was just stating a possibility..."

Gu Yuexi reached out and pounded on Lin Chen's chest: "No way! You kissed me, you have to take responsibility for me, don't try to renege!"

Lin Chen let her fists land on him, and hugged her tighter: "I didn't say I wouldn't take responsibility. I'm telling you all this because I'm taking responsibility for you, aren't I?"

Gu Yuexi blushed slightly: "You're supposed to be a man! I gave you all the chances, and you didn't even seize them! Humph!"

Lin Chen was speechless and could only remain silent.

Gu Yuexi nestled in Lin Chen's arms for a while, then suddenly said, "The day Wenwen jumped off the building, we all went to the hotel. You didn't refuse then, was it because you didn't have feelings for her then, and you thought you would definitely get a divorce, so you didn't care about her feelings? But later when I asked you to go to the hotel, you didn't go. Did your relationship change during that time? Did you think that you might not be able to get a divorce, so you deliberately kept your distance from me?"

Lin Chen was surprised by Gu Yuexi's keen insight. It has to be said that women are very sensitive when it comes to relationships between men and women.

Lin Chen nodded, "Yes." Gu Yuexi didn't say anything more, just quietly nestled in Lin Chen's arms. After a while, she broke free from Lin Chen's embrace, took his arm, and smiled, "Let's go."

Lin Chen looked at the smile on Gu Yuexi's face and said, "If you're not happy, don't force yourself to smile."

Gu Yuexi shook her head: "I'm not sad."

Seemingly worried that Lin Chen wouldn't believe her, Gu Yuexi smiled and said, "When I met you, I knew you were married to someone. Although it was a contract marriage, I actually considered the possibility that you wouldn't be able to get a divorce. However, I ultimately felt that it wasn't important. What was important was your attitude towards me."

"As long as you truly like me and are genuinely good to me, nothing else matters. I've always been very independent, and even if we can't be together all the time, I can take good care of myself when you're not around."

"I'm still single at this age because I'm too picky and haven't been able to find a man I like. Now that I have, it's normal that there are some imperfections. Nothing in this world is perfect."

"When I think about it this way, I'm really not sad anymore. Besides, what you're saying isn't just one possibility, and the fact that you're so considerate of me instead of rushing to sleep with me makes me feel really touched, even though I'm laughing at you."

“Look at the way those men in my class look at me. No matter how well they try to hide it, you can see the repressed greed and desire in their eyes. If my family wasn’t well-off, they would probably throw money at me and ask me to sleep with them or become their mistress.”

"Compared to you, they are nothing. Think about it, if I were to marry a man who is always thinking about how to sleep with young and beautiful women, I would rather be single."

“My family’s circumstances aren’t the best, but they’re not bad either. I’ve never wanted to compromise myself in this life. If I had to choose between liking him and him liking me, I would rather choose liking him. Because you’re willing to make sacrifices if you like someone. Just being liked doesn’t give you that exciting feeling or the happiness of getting a response from someone you like.”

Gu Yuexi spoke softly and gently, and Lin Chen listened attentively. Then he suddenly realized that Gu Yuexi understood matters of the heart much better than he did.

It's often said that women mature earlier, and there's definitely some truth to that.

Gu Yuexi looked up and chuckled, "You know what? I even thought that you and my sister might have developed feelings for each other since you spent so much time together..."
