Jiang Zhuoheng was stunned by Xuxu's gesture . He looked at the arm she was holding, and his deep and slender eyes contained shock and surprise .
Raising her head, Xuxu smiled sweetly at him . "Let's go . "
"Alright . " Jiang Zhuoheng managed to restrain the burgeoning excitement and emotions in his heart and nodded .
They stepped out of the elevator and got in the car . Once inside, Xuxu spoke to him earnestly . "Ah Heng, I may not be able to love you as much as you love me . "
She even . . . she didn't even have any romantic feelings towards him .
She lowered her head nervously, and her lips clamped together tightly . With renewed conviction, she raised her head, "I know I'm selfish, but if you're willing, I won't let go of you unless you decide that you don't want me anymore . "

The first time, she'd put her lifelong dream and youth at stake .
This time, she'd take a gamble with the man in front of her along with their years of friendship .
Ah Heng, I really can't afford to lose again .
"Xuxu, not every marriage has to go through a passionate and spectacular romance . Most importantly, I love you . " Jiang Zhuoheng took her hand and held it tightly . He looked at her with overflowing tenderness and love . "I told you that I'm willing to wait until you're tired and you want to settle down . If you wish, you're always welcome to return to me at any time . "
He stroked her head with affectionate, and his lips curled as he tenderly consoled her . "Throw away whatever reservations you have . Why should we care about other things if it's true love? I'm already overjoyed and satisfied that you're willing to give me a chance . "
Wen Xuxu replied mischievously, "Then I'll leave everything to you, including the changing of light bulbs and gas in my house . "
"Don't you use natural gas?" Jiang Zhuoheng teased and started the engine after fastening his seatbelt .

At the Ming's house .
Wen Xinyi saw the news about Yan Rusheng and Wen Xuxu, and she angrily tore the newspapers into shreds . She threw them in the air and shouted, "Wen Xuxu, go to hell!"
Yan Rusheng had fired her just yesterday, and it had spread through the industry . As a result, Grandfather was utterly humiliated .
Due to that, she had cried the entire night, and she still hadn't fully recovered .
She couldn't believe that the two of them had gone public with their relationship on that very night . It was tantamount to slapping her and her grandfather once again .
Wen Xuxu, I'll never let you get away with this .
She clenched her fists and swore, a malicious expression distorting her face .
Xuxu carried the grocery bags from the supermarket and went back home . She opened the door and saw her grandfather sitting on his wheelchair, changing the TV channels with the remote control .
The old man heard her opening the door and turned his head in her direction .
She was startled and asked, "Grandfather, how did you get up by yourself?"
She quickly removed her shoes and placed the grocery bags down .
"I'm not crippled, why can't I get up by myself?" the old man replied harshly, and he seemed to be in a bad mood .
Was he still fuming? Xuxu mumbled aggrievedly, "I really had no idea about the necklace . The media started all the rumors . "
She was worried that the old man would explode if she said that Yan Rusheng had tricked her .
To her surprise, his expression softened . He looked at Xuxu tenderly . "Xuxu, you've stayed with him for so many years that even I can feel the hardship and fatigue you've endured . "
She was dumbfounded when she heard him . "Grandfather . . . "
Her grandfather knew . Incredibly, he knew everything all along .
She thought that she'd hidden it well, that nobody would ever find out .
"Ah Heng is a good man . I won't have any worries if I hand you over to him . "
