Chapter 1240: Chapter 1144: Ten-Year First Love

The only consolation was that Xingxing’s wish had been fulfilled.

Children ultimately long for growth within an intact, native family.

But Xia Yangyang was unsure whether this was truly a good thing.

Lu Haotian’s gaze fell upon Xia Yangyang’s retreating figure.

Suddenly, he chased after her.

Gong Xue’er wanted to stop him, but eventually she halted after a few steps.

She had already gotten what she wanted.

She really should thank Xia Yangyang sincerely.

Gong Xue’er was acutely aware of Xia Yangyang’s position in Lu Haotian’s heart.

They were childhood sweethearts, having been in love for ten years.

The fact that Lu Haotian was still single was the best proof.

Lu Haotian was too indifferent towards her.

Even when using the child, Lu Haotian’s responses were dismissive.

Only Xia Yangyang could truly provoke him.

In Lu Haotian’s world, it seemed only Xia Yangyang was vibrant.

This fact infuriated Gong Xue’er immensely.

She hated any connection between Xia Yangyang and Lu Haotian.

But Gong Xue’er also knew that only Xia Yangyang could break Lu Haotian’s principles.

Gong Xue’er understood clearly.

The reason Lu Haotian had agreed to marry her was merely to give Xia Yangyang a peaceful life.

He wanted to protect the person in his heart and keep her uninvolved.

Thus, he had agreed in anger.

Although the process was not as expected, the outcome was what she wanted, which was enough.

With the time remaining, she would change everything.

Deep down, Gong Xue’er was pleased.

So, seeing Lu Haotian chasing after Xia Yangyang didn’t upset her anymore.

It was good to have them clarify things.

Having just witnessed that scene, Xia Yangyang must be feeling distressed as well.

Though Xia Yangyang had married Gu Qichen, Gong Xue’er felt that Xia Yangyang still harbored some feelings for Lu Haotian.

Just a short while after Xia Yangyang left, Lu Haotian caught up with her in the corridor.

“Yangyang, I have something to say to you.”

Xia Yangyang turned around, her face exceptionally calm, “What do you want to say?”

What to say?

Lu Haotian hadn’t figured it out yet.

He had chased after her as a knee-jerk reaction.

Just then, Lu Haotian felt as if time had reversed, returning to their school days.

Back then, whenever Xia Yangyang got angry, she would storm off in a huff.

He would definitely need to coax her thoroughly.

Almost no matter how serious their conflicts were, if Xia Yangyang left for three minutes, he couldn’t sit still.

He would immediately chase after her.

For a moment just now, Lu Haotian had been driven by such emotions to chase after her.

But now, seeing Xia Yangyang’s exceptionally calm face,

Lu Haotian suddenly came to his senses.

He didn’t know what had come over him lately.

He kept recalling past events.

Everything about their past replayed like a film in his mind countless times.

But he also clearly understood that their movie had ended long ago.

What remained was merely a monologue directed and performed by himself.

A hint of bitterness appeared on Lu Haotian’s lips, “Yangyang, don’t you really have anything to say to me?”

Xia Yangyang smiled, “You chased after me saying you had something, and now you’re asking if I have anything to say?”

Xia Yangyang pursed her lips, appearing somewhat embarrassed, “I’ve already said what I wanted to say just now. Since you’ve decided to marry Xue’er, I wish you well.”

These were, of course, the words Lu Haotian least wanted to hear.

Lu Haotian felt a chill in his heart.

Seeing Lu Haotian’s demeanor, Xia Yangyang also felt distressed.

Because Xia Yangyang could see, Lu Haotian’s disgust for Gong Xue’er.
