Tong Jiangxin didn't expect that she leaned forward slightly, and after stopping, she turned her head and looked at McGarlo.
McGaro put his hands on the steering wheel and lowered his gaze slightly. After a pause, he slowly turned his head and looked at Tong Jiangxin.
"Jiang Xin, in your heart, am I the kind of person who only cares about the right person?"
Tong Jiangxin met McGaro's gaze. His eyes were clear, and he could see the obvious struggle in his eyes.
Tong Jiangxin felt uncomfortable in her heart. She repeated what she said to Liao Jianing at noon today, which was to expose her scars again, but she had no choice.
Her red lips opened, and she spoke out, "Mike, you know my current situation. I have too much time to take care of myself, and I don't want to hurt other people."
McGaro frowned and said in a deep voice, "Are you afraid that Lu Chengxi intends to embarrass me?"
Tong Jiangxin remained silent, but silence was acquiescence.
McGaro replied, "Jiang Xin, I told you before that as long as I'm here, I won't let anyone bully you again, even if it's Lu Chengxi!"
Hearing McGaro's almost oath-like words, Tong Jiangxin was not unmoved, but Lu Chengxi dared to say that Yatai would be buried with him in front of her, so how could she helplessly implicate McGaro?
With a lump in her throat, Tong Jiangxin said softly, "Mike, you misunderstood me. Even without Lu Chengxi, I would not be with you."
There was obvious hurt in McGarloh's eyes, and he asked aloud, "Why? What did I do wrong?"
Tong Jiangxin suppressed the sadness in her heart, and she replied aloud, "Mike, I am too tired, not only physically, but also mentally. Such a big thing happened in my family, and all I can think about is how to be good and not have any trouble."
As long as I live, I really don’t have the heart to think about other things.”
McGarloh said, "Then you can rely on me? I know some things can never be made up for, but if I help you share the burden, at least you won't feel tired."
Tong Jiangxin shook his head, "Mike, don't force me, I really don't want to fall in love at this time..."
McGaro looked at the exhausted Tong Jiangxin in front of him. He closed his mouth and stopped talking.
In the quiet car, neither of them said anything. I don't know how long it took before McGuarloh said softly, "I can admit that we met at the wrong time, but I don't believe that we are the wrong people. You said
You are not ready yet, you cannot accept me yet, okay, I can wait, I am willing to wait until the day you accept me."
Tong Jiangxin's heart moved slightly, and her fingers grasping the strap of the bag couldn't help but tighten.
She didn't know what to reply, so she could only remain silent.
Fortunately, McGaro didn't say much. He just restarted the car and drove all the way to the mountain.
Along the way, Tong Jiangxin kept her head slightly lowered. Her long eyelashes obscured her sight, making it difficult to see her expression clearly.
More than 20 minutes later, the car drove into the villa area in the middle of the mountain. McGaro stopped in front of the community and Tong Jiangxin said, "Thank you for sending me back. Please be careful on the way back."
After saying that, she turned sideways and reached for the door handle.
"Jiang Xin..."
McGaro suddenly reached out and grabbed Tong Jiangxin's arm.
Tong Jiangxin paused and then turned around.
McGaro looked at Tong Jiangxin without blinking. Just when Tong Jiangxin wanted to pull out her arm in embarrassment, he said softly, "Jiang Xin, don't refuse me. I can wait no matter how long it takes, but... please...
Don’t reject me”.
Tong Jiangxin's pupils shrank slightly and she looked at McGarlo. There was even a look of pleading in his handsome face.
My heart ached, what virtue and ability could she have to make such an excellent McGarlo humble for her?
Her heart softened at this moment, and Tong Jiangxin finally said, "Mike... I'm sorry."
McGaro shook his head and said, "Jiang Xin, the last thing I want to hear is you saying sorry to me..."
After a pause, he continued, "Maybe my request just now will embarrass you, so I'm sorry, Jiang Xin, I just hope there is someone who can stand by your side to protect you, and I also selfishly think, if
It's fine if that person is me, but if you really don't like me, then I won't force you. As long as one day, you say that you have someone you like in your heart, then I will leave and retreat far away.
, but...before that, I will stay by your side, even as a friend, and I will never let anyone hurt you again."
Tong Jiangxin's eyes were already sore. At this moment, she felt that the vision in front of her eyes was gradually becoming blurry. She opened her mouth lightly and tears started to flow down.
There was a deep look of distress in McGaro's eyes. He stretched out his hand, wiped away the tears on Tong Jiangxin's face, and whispered, "Why are you crying? Did I say something wrong again?"
Tong Jiangxin seemed to have something stuck in her throat, which was sour and astringent. She held back tears and said, "I'm sorry... I'm sorry..."
Besides being sorry, Tong Jiangxin didn't know what else to say to McGarloh.
In her blurred vision, Tong Jiangxin saw McGarlo slowly raising the corners of her lips and saying with a faint smile, "I always thought you were quite smart, but now I want to call you silly girl. What I said is what I want to say."
If so, I will do the same, so that you don’t have to feel pressured or embarrassed, isn’t that good?”
Tong Jiangxin had mixed feelings in her heart. The more McGaro treated her like this, the more guilty and wronged she felt.
Why didn't she meet McGaro earlier? Why did she have to wait until she was so broken before God arranged for them to meet?
The more she thought about it, the sadder she became. Tong Jiangxin could not say anything, but tears welled up in her eyes.
If Magalo wipes it off, it will flow out again. If it is wiped off, it will flow out again.
McGaro sighed and finally said, "Why do you shed so many tears? Stop crying... If you cry again, I will really chase you."
Tong Jiangxin was stunned, and her tears stopped as expected.
McGarloh said with a self-deprecating smile, "It seems that being chased by me is really a scary thing."
Tong Jiangxin sniffed and said in a low voice, "What did you say?"
McGaro smiled lightly and replied, "Isn't what I said the truth?"
Tong Jiangxin took the tissue paper from McGaro's hand and wiped the tears from her face. She said, "I'm sorry for making you feel weird."
McGaro leaned sideways on the large and comfortable leather seat and replied aloud, "Seeing your tears makes me feel sad and happy. What makes me sad is your sadness. Seeing you sad makes me feel bad;
Fortunately, you will cry in front of me to prove that you don't treat me as an outsider."
"Jiang Xin, you know, if I say I fell in love with you at the first sight, that's judging people by their appearance. But then you often appear in my dreams, that means I'm really thinking about you, and I'm not a little kid.
Now that my child is old, I know how to weigh the pros and cons, but after weighing it, I still think you are more important...Jiang Xin, I really like you."
