Chapter 152: Extra Chapter: The Lover Who Can't Be Driven Away
Gu Xue had originally thought that after she turned him down, Liang Ye wouldn’t come looking for her again.
But when she arrived at the supermarket the next morning, she spotted that big, beaming smile from far away.
“Xiaoxue! Come here! I got the first spot in line!”
His smile was simple and pure, as if he had never confessed to her and she had never rejected him.
Somewhat awkwardly, she walked over. “Why did you come here today?”
She knew he lived alone. The evening discounts were already enough to get him by, so there was no need for him to get up early.
Yet he had still come. Why?
Wasn’t he angry?
Liang Ye naturally wasn’t angry. A little rejection like this was nothing to him.
Back when He Huanhuan wouldn’t even pay him any attention, he had still managed to keep himself entertained for several months.
Not to mention that Xiaoxue clearly had feelings for him. There was no way she could simply ignore him.
As long as she gave him the slightest bit of encouragement, Second Young Master Liang could stay happy for the rest of his life!
Grinning, he held his phone up in front of Gu Xue. “Look at this wheelchair. It’s electric. We can buy it for Second Grandma, and then she’ll be able to go outside.”
Gu Xue glanced at the screen. “It’s too expensive.”
“What? No way!”
Liang Ye tapped into his saved items and carefully compared the prices. “I searched all night. This is the cheapest one!”
Gu Xue tried her best not to look at him. “Reserve it, but don’t check out yet. The platform will recommend cheaper ones to you.”
Liang Ye’s eyes lit up once again. “Xiaoxue! You’re so good at shopping! You’re a genius!”
Gu Xue gave a bitter smile. What was so genius about her? She was simply too poor.
He didn’t know how difficult life was for poor people, which was why he thought she was a genius.
“Liang Ye, I don’t like you.”
She repeated those words once more. Liang Ye nodded vigorously. “I know. Didn’t you say that last night?”
His calmness left Gu Xue at a loss. “I said I don’t like you...”
Liang Ye smiled. “I know that now, so I’m going to pursue you! Until you fall in love with me, accept me, and agree to be with me!”
Gu Xue was a little dumbfounded. This wasn’t how things were supposed to go.
She was supposed to reject him, and Liang Ye was supposed to get angry and think, With conditions like yours, what makes you think you have the right to reject me?
You’re not even some stunning beauty with amazing qualifications!
If he had treated her that way, she would have known exactly how to respond.
She would have jumped up, slapped him, and told him to get lost.
She was much more familiar with that sort of process.
This situation, however, left her somewhat unaccustomed.
Unable to hold back, she asked, “But what if I never fall in love with you?”
Liang Ye grinned. “Then I’ll keep pursuing you!”
Pursuing someone was something he was very good at!
“But I have a lot of grandparents to take care of.”
Liang Ye nodded. “We’ll take care of them together! I like buying discounted groceries!”
“But my salary isn’t high, and I can’t save any money each month.”
Liang Ye beamed. “I own a house outright! After you marry me, you won’t have to rent anymore! That’ll save us money!”
“But...”
There were still countless buts in her heart, but Liang Ye wouldn’t let her continue.
“Everything you’ve mentioned is an objective condition, Xiaoxue. I’m asking about your heart. Do you like me?”
Gu Xue hesitated. “I—I do like you, but...”
“Then there are no buts! As long as you like me, there are no buts!”
Liang Ye was so excited that he practically vibrated with enthusiasm.
“Xiaoxue! We can take care of your grandparents together. You’re worried about housing, but I have a house, so we won’t have to pay rent in the future. I also have a salary, and we can keep buying discounted groceries. None of these are problems!”
Gu Xue nodded. “I know, but this isn’t fair to you. Without me, your life would be so much easier...”
“Heavens!”
Liang Ye grabbed her by the shoulders. “You have no idea how much better my life has become since I met you!”
Before, he wouldn’t even let himself buy whatever he felt like eating. Ever since he met Gu Xue and learned how to hunt for bargains across the internet, his life had practically taken off like a rocket!
It was wonderful!
People online often said that a stubborn, conflicted person needed a lover who refused to be driven away.
Gu Xue couldn’t exactly be called conflicted, but Liang Ye truly was impossible to get rid of.
He stubbornly stayed by her side, accompanying her and clinging to her until she had no room left to refuse him.
Eventually, she simply went with the flow, moved in with him, and began dating him.
