Chapter 971: Extra: Jin Lin vs Hua Miaomiao 21 Chapter 971: Extra: Jin Lin vs Hua Miaomiao 21 If Hua Miaomiao simply didn’t love her for the moment but was willing to try to love her, then Jin Lin would have accepted that.

Having experienced the affair between Shi Annuo and Wen Zhaozhao before, she also had enough confidence in herself, believing she could make Hua Miaomiao fall in love with her in the days to come.

But what Hua Miaomiao promised was, “Now, and in the future, both are!”

Jin Lin shook her head, “If now is already a given, why do you think it will be the same in the future? Do you mean to tell me that you want to be with me without ever planning to love me? If you haven’t thought about loving me, then why say you want to be with me?”

Hua Miaomiao looked at her steadily and said softly, “I’m sorry, I don’t want to hide it from you. I’ve loved that girl for many years, and I want to keep loving her. And I have no plans to love anyone else.”

As if struck by lightning, Jin Lin’s face turned ashen. She was a bit dazed, staring blankly at Hua Miaomiao’s handsome face. For the first time, she found his face extremely hateful, and she couldn’t help wanting to punch him.

Hua Miaomiao added, “If you’re willing to stay by my side, I will try to fulfill your every wish, except for giving you my love.”

The guilt in his tone sounded to Jin Lin like charity and pity.

At that moment, Jin Lin felt particularly pathetic, and of course, very cheap.

But then she felt that she deserved it, that it was all her own fault. Who asked her to be so infatuated to chase after Hua Miaomiao?

Her mood at this moment was indescribably heavy, so heavy it felt almost suffocating, as if even breathing was difficult.

“I think I need some time to myself, then think properly about what to do,” she said, not wanting to face Hua Miaomiao any longer, nor wishing to continue the conversation. She stood up, turned around, and returned to her bedroom.

Hua Miaomiao watched her retreating figure until the door closed. He remained still, lost in thought, wondering if what he had said was too harsh?

The silence and quiet echoed throughout the house until dawn.

With red-rimmed eyes, Hua Miaomiao went to work on time, but before he left, he greeted Jin Lin with a simple four words: “I’m off to work!”

However, when he came back from work in the evening, he found that Jin Lin was gone.

She had left, leaving behind a note that read, “I don’t regret falling in love with you, but I must leave now, for you don’t need me, and I am not suited for you.”

Hua Miaomiao felt a premonition, his mind paused for a moment as he stood there motionless, looking ahead with a numb expression.

Suddenly, he felt an acute pang in his normally steady-beating heart.

At that moment, he didn’t think of anything else and immediately ran out. The wind whistled past his ears as he ran and tried to call Jin Lin, but her phone was turned off.

Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks, motionless for a long time.

After a while, he turned and went back to his apartment, then collapsed weakly on the couch.

He slept through it all. When he woke up the next day, he was brushing his teeth and washing his face when he saw his own reflection in the mirror with obvious dark circles under his eyes.

At the same time, there was a profound sense of self-loathing.

Because he knew that from yesterday until now, even with his eyes closed, he couldn’t really sleep, his heart was tormented with thoughts of Jin Lin.

He didn’t understand himself; how could he be thinking of Jin Lin like this? Could it be that he had fallen in love with Jin Lin?

This, it seemed highly unlikely??
