Chapter 2306 - 36: Never Regretted Loving You (6)

"If you ever need sponsorship, just tell your sis... I’ll lend you the money..."

Gu Jinchen: "..."

All right then.

Her little abacus really is clicking away nicely.

"Enough already... Sis... if one day you don’t want to act anymore, or don’t want to work, I’ll take care of you..."

Gu Mochen: "..."

This brat actually has a bit of a sense of responsibility.

Jian Ran: "..."

Yup, the son takes after his mommy, can’t go wrong.

Gu Xiran was so moved she was a complete mess inside, and took the initiative to raise her arms and hug Gu Jinchen.

"Take good care of Daddy and Mommy at home... got it?"

"Okay, Sis, I promise you."

"Mm, so good."

Gu Xiran’s heart was full of emotion; she knew that even though Gu Jinchen was still young, he would not let her down.

...

After the Gu Family simply said goodbye to Gu Xiran, they left the airport, leaving the time alone to Qin Jin and Gu Xiran.

Once the others left, Gu Xiran looked at the cool, aloof man in front of her, the corners of her lips lifting.

She never in a million years would have thought this would be how the two of them ended.

Song Le’s words seemed to still echo in her ears.

The Qin Family’s two brothers: one destined to leave you, one destined to die for you.

Qin Song didn’t die...

Qin Jin didn’t leave.

In the end it was she who left the two brothers.

Gu Xiran’s beautiful eyes were misty, but the smile on her lips was dazzlingly bright.

"Brother Qin Jin... take care."

"Okay."

Qin Jin answered, his black eyes revealing nothing of the emotions in his heart, but the depth in them was particularly captivating.

Qin Jin looked at the mist in Gu Xiran’s beautiful eyes, slowly strode forward, and reached out his large hand to pull her into his arms.

"If I’m being selfish, no one wants to let you go more than I don’t..."

Gu Xiran: "..."

Just hearing that from a man was enough.

Tears overflowed from her eyes as Gu Xiran choked up.

"But love is wanting you to be better, not tying you down, not a selfish kind of love..."

Gu Xiran nodded, knowing how much care and thought Qin Jin had put into her all these years.

"Brother Qin Jin... I never imagined our ending would be like this..."

A bitter smile tugged at the corners of Qin Jin’s mouth; you could hear the pain in Gu Xiran’s words.

Yeah... he had never imagined... that this would be how things ended between him and Gu Xiran.

"Our ending... hasn’t been written yet. Right now it’s just a temporary separation, that’s all."

"Mm-mm..."

Gu Xiran nodded; whatever ending awaited them was way too far off.

She didn’t want to think about it yet.

Choking up, Gu Xiran looked at the man in front of her, slowly rose on tiptoe, and brushed a kiss against his thin lips.

"I... never regretted it..."

After she spoke, Gu Xiran sniffled and walked toward the security checkpoint.

Qin Jin stared in the direction the woman left, his dark eyes roiling with surging emotion and pain.

She said she never regretted it...

Never regretted having a crush on him for so many years, probably.

Qin Jin finally understood what it meant for something to hurt down to your very bones.

It fucking hurt.

He had to rely on sheer, iron self-control to keep himself from going after her and stopping her.

Qin Jin’s face was pale, his whole person even more icy than before, only his black eyes burning hot, greedily lingering on the sight of Gu Xiran’s departing back, his footsteps rooted to the spot, not moving for a long time.

...

After Gu Xiran passed security without a hitch, she waited until there was no one around before breaking down in sobs, her heart feeling all kinds of awful, all kinds of painful.

Gu Xiran accurately found her boarding spot, sat down in her seat, and broke into uncontrollable tears.

It hurt so much...

Leaving really didn’t feel good.

Gu Xiran didn’t know how long she cried; it wasn’t until she sensed someone sit down beside her that she slowly pulled herself together, smoothing out her emotions.

"Sorry."

Gu Xiran lifted her eyes to the man beside her and froze on the spot.

It was Qin Song...

"You... why are you here?"

"My brother said you were leaving today and told me to come see you off."

Qin Song shrugged, looking completely casual. His black eyes landed on Gu Xiran without any extra emotion, only a lot of unfamiliarity.

Gu Xiran: "..."

As long as he was safe, that was already the best possible ending. Whether he remembered or not no longer mattered.

Gu Xiran sniffled and nodded.

"Thank you."

"You’re welcome..."

Sitting in his seat, Qin Song arched a brow. "Aren’t I smart? I actually managed to sneak straight in here."

Gu Xiran: "..."

"Mainly I just chatted up a handsome flight attendant, and he brought me in. Being good-looking is a natural advantage."

Gu Xiran: "..."

Qin Song was still that same original, flamboyant Qin Song.

Gu Xiran was full of disdain for him inside, and in a bad mood she raised her hand and knocked him on the forehead.

"You’re already this old and still relying on your looks to coast by... utterly useless."

Just as Gu Xiran was about to pull her little hand back, Qin Song caught her by the wrist.
