CHAPTER 751: CHAPTER 750: ONCE GONE, NEVER BACK (2)

Ling Yunshu looked at him, her face instantly darkening, her voice turning cold, "Xiao Chen, can I no longer command you?"

Xiao Chen’s hands, hanging by his sides, clenched slightly, and then he closed his eyes. When he opened them again, he tried to contain his emotions and spoke, "Yun Shu, let it go, please? Xiaxia is your sister. She shares the same blood as you. Haven’t you done enough to hurt her?"

"I hurt her? Xiao Chen, have you lost your mind? It’s clearly Ling Chuxia who’s hurting me! She has everything now, and I have nothing. Why do you always stop me? Could it be... you’ve fallen for Ling Chuxia as well?"

Towards the end, Ling Yunshu’s voice became almost shrill, her eyes wide open, staring fixedly at Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen felt an overwhelming exhaustion rising uncontrollably within him. He looked at Ling Yunshu, his voice incredibly low, "Yun Shu, you know full well that the person I love is only you. Besides, you are not without anything—you still have me. Let’s drop everything and go back to the United States, okay? I will take good care of you."

The first part of what Xiao Chen said sounded pleasing to Ling Yunshu, but the next part made her anger surge again—it was always about going back to the United States.

She had just returned from the United States, not having reclaimed anything yet, and now he was asking her to go back? Why should she? It should be Ling Chuxia who needed to go to the United States, Ling Chuxia who should be stranded in a foreign land, not her, Ling Yunshu!

"Shut up! What right do you have to take care of me? The person I want has never been you!" Ling Yunshu, unable to contain her anger, sneered repeatedly, "Xiao Chen, I’m only asking you this once—are you going to help me? If you are, go find Chuxia immediately; if not, get lost!"

The person I’ve wanted has never been you.

Xiao Chen had always known that Ling Yunshu did not love him; she loved Shi Che. But Shi Che did not love her, so he thought, as long as he stayed by her side, she would eventually see his worth.

But time and again, he indulged her unconditionally, even compromising his conscience to help her. In her heart, however, he was always just someone who owed her.

Everyone gets tired, no one can truly keep giving unconditionally without any return.

He didn’t even dare to hope for much in return, just that, at least in her heart, there would be a little bit of a place for him. But to this day, she had only ever treated him like a dog at her beck and call.

He was truly exhausted, too exhausted to go on.

He clenched his hands tightly, his eyelids slightly lifted as he looked at Ling Yunshu, no trace of light in his eyes, he slowly spoke, "Yun Shu, I’m also asking you this once—if I stop helping you, do you really want me to leave?"

Not help her? Xiao Chen dared not help her?

Upon hearing this, Ling Yunshu’s beautiful, delicate face was instantly covered with gloom, contorted by hatred. She waited for Xiao Chen, her voice sharply piercing, "Yes, if you won’t help me, then leave!"

She was so sure because she knew Xiao Chen wouldn’t leave her, so she could scold and berate without restraint.

Her answer wasn’t much of a surprise.

At that moment, Xiao Chen was inexplicably calm. He stood still for a while, and when he spoke again, it was just one sentence, "Yun Shu, remember, once I leave, I won’t come back."
