Chapter 1078: Chapter 75

Go Biqing turned his head and saw it was Murong Qing. However, Murong Qing’s complexion seemed off; her eyes were somewhat vacant, and her face was pale as if she’d suffered a blow.

"Murong Qing, why are you here? Is there something wrong? You don’t look so well, are you sick? You looked fine this morning." Go Biqing asked softly, concerned.

"I’m sick? Yes, I am sick. Are you sending Nana back? Let me give you a ride," Murong Qing said, whispering.

Once in the car, Go Biqing put Gwen in the back seat and noticed Murong Qing seemed quite disoriented, even taking several tries to start the car, which made Go Biqing uneasy. He said, "Forget it, I’ll drive. You seem too unwell."

Murong Qing said nothing, but moved to the passenger seat. Go Biqing drove quickly to Gwen’s house, carried Gwen out and sent her back inside.

Sun Yan was already waiting at home. Seeing Go Biqing carrying Gwen in, she hurriedly opened Gwen’s room door, as Go Biqing’s hands were occupied.

After putting Gwen down, Go Biqing said, "She’s tired from playing today, let her sleep. I’ll head out now. Oh, and I asked Nana to put the money in your room."

Go Biqing left the room, changed his shoes at the door, and was about to leave when Sun Yan suddenly called out, "Go Biqing."

He didn’t know why, but people kept calling him back today. Go Biqing still turned his head, and after watching him for a moment, Sun Yan said, "Thank you for taking Nana out for the day. Did it delay your work?"

Go Biqing shrugged indifferently, "I’m her brother. She’s my only sister, it’s what I should do."

Then Go Biqing turned away and left. He still couldn’t face Sun Yan normally; perhaps there would be a chance to resolve their tension in the future.

After going downstairs, Go Biqing was surprised to find Murong Qing had disappeared, along with the car. He looked around but saw nothing and decided to walk forward since the company wasn’t far from Gwen’s home.

After walking a while, suddenly, a car pulled up sharply beside him, giving Go Biqing quite a scare.

Go Biqing looked closely and saw it was Murong Qing. He felt a bit annoyed as such a joke seemed too excessive, an accident could easily happen if the car were out of control.

Murong Qing rolled down the window and said, "Get in."

Hearing Murong Qing’s rather stiff, commanding tone, Go Biqing frowned slightly and said, "No need, it’s not far from here to the company, only ten minutes. I’ll walk."

After hearing Go Biqing’s words, Murong Qing suddenly turned off the engine, opened the door, and said, "I’ll walk with you. There’s something I need to ask you."

Seeing Murong Qing’s determined demeanor, Go Biqing realized her stubbornness had flared up again. He couldn’t afford to provoke her, so he got in the car.

Once back in the car, Murong Qing drove silently to Go Biqing’s company’s parking lot and turned off the engine.

Go Biqing waited a while and seeing Murong Qing still silent, he asked, "Didn’t you say you had something to tell me?"

Murong Qing bit her lips, and you could see them turning pale from her bite, then she asked, "What did you do this afternoon?"

Having been frightened by Murong Qing earlier, Go Biqing was already somewhat dissatisfied. Now with Murong Qing’s discontented tone, he responded coldly, "What I do in the afternoon is my business. Why are you asking?"

Hearing Go Biqing’s unfriendly words, it was clear from their long interaction that Go Biqing had never spoken to her so coldly before, usually as a friend.

The remaining hint of color left Murong Qing’s face as she asked, "Can you please tell me?"

Feeling something amiss at Murong Qing’s suddenly pleading tone, Go Biqing said, "I took Nana to the amusement park to play this afternoon, you just saw me send her home."

Murong Qing suddenly lowered her head and continued, "Was it just the two of you?"

Go Biqing immediately thought of the familiar figure he saw while watching fireworks in the evening. Though he had doubted it was Murong Qing at first, now he was sure he hadn’t imagined it.

"No, there was one more person," Go Biqing said simply.

Murong Qing murmured as if talking to herself, "Is she your girlfriend?"

Go Biqing was taken aback and quickly replied, "No."

Hearing this, Murong Qing immediately raised her head, looking at Go Biqing, with a glimmer of hope in her eyes. "Not your girlfriend, then why were you so intimately helping her pick up a hairpin and helping her pin up her hair, and then when parting seemed reluctant, turning back for her repeatedly? Though I didn’t see her face, her figure looked like a beauty."

At this point, Go Biqing was more convinced it was indeed Murong Qing whom he had seen earlier. But whether it was a coincidence or Murong Qing was following him, he wasn’t sure.

At this moment, Go Biqing remained silent, swallowing the words he was about to say, considering the fact that he was unworthy of Murong Qing. Right now, why should he waste her life? Yet, he couldn’t bear saying those hurtful words. Murong Qing was just a girl who liked him; she was kind and without fault. It’s society to blame.

Isn’t this the perfect opportunity for her to completely give up on him? Let her know he has a girlfriend, and everything will be easier. Better to hurt now than to regret later when she learns he’s not her true love, her family opposes it, friends don’t support it, and pressure from everywhere results in a heartbreaking separation.

Murong Qing, initially still hopeful, saw Go Biqing’s hesitant expression, and her heart began to sink, only she knew when she started liking Go Biqing. But it took great courage for her to almost boldly express her feelings through actions, especially as a girl.

She knew Go Biqing already had someone in his heart, but she was confident. She never felt inferior in terms of family background, figure, or appearance. Yet, today, she was uncertain because besides family background, the girl’s figure seemed comparable, especially seeing Go Biqing’s silent hesitation, it confirmed her suspicion: The person in Go Biqing’s heart was that girl.

"Yes, that’s my girlfriend. She’s the principal of Nana’s kindergarten, a wonderful person whom I pursued for a long time, and she finally agreed a few days ago," Go Biqing said, not daring to meet Murong Qing’s eyes, fearing that he would soften upon seeing her disappointed or even desperate gaze. Since he decided to lie, he had to do it well, not letting Murong Qing find out, otherwise what was the point? Regret wouldn’t help now, the words were already spoken.

On receiving this news, Murong Qing’s complexion unexpectedly flashed a blush, akin to a sad cloud.
