Chapter 1077: Chapter 19: Liking Is Reckless, but Love Is Restraint
Jin Xu looked at her in disbelief, his eyes surging with complex emotions, seemingly extremely shocked by her words.
"We haven’t broken up, I can’t lie," he finally steadied his emotions, suppressing the anger in his heart to speak.
Xia Duoduo’s heart trembled slightly, her teeth biting her lower lip, remaining silent for a long time.
Suddenly, she abruptly withdrew her hand from his.
Afraid to meet Jin Xu’s intense gaze, she lowered her lashes and softly said, "Then let’s break up now."
Her voice was calm and gentle, yet in the midst of the soothing music, it stirred up a storm.
Jin Xu’s heart ached sharply.
His eyes quickly filled with a layer of redness, his chest heaving incessantly from extreme shock and anger.
In shock and anger, he opened his mouth to say something, but couldn’t speak.
It was as if something was stuck in his throat, blocking him from speaking or swallowing.
"I’m serious, Jin Xu. Let’s break up. I admit this relationship has brought me a lot of happiness, but the negative impact it brings now is no longer bearable for either of us."
Xia Duoduo seemed very rational, her mind clearer than ever at this moment.
Once, she’d heard a saying: liking is selfish, but love is restraint.
Because she loves Jin Xu, she must restrain herself to let go, because it’s the best choice for him.
Jin Xu looked stunned at her, even though the sunlight shone brightly outside the car window, he felt a chill all over.
Xia Duoduo didn’t wait for his answer, directly taking his phone from the console storage box and then pushed open the car door, getting out.
Bam—
The car door shook with a thud as it closed.
The not-so-loud sound nonetheless reverberated drastically in Jin Xu’s heart, causing a change in his frozen demeanor. Through the car window, he saw the woman’s figure walk further and further away, an unprecedented panic seized him.
His face turned pale, he suddenly pushed open the car door and hurriedly chased after her.
Xia Duoduo walked while starting up the phone, inside there were dozens of missed calls and hundreds of messages.
She directly opened the contact list and called her assistant An An.
"Sister Xia, where on earth did you go? We’re all worried sick..."
"An An, I’m coming back soon. First, find a secluded café and send me the address, I have something important to tell you—"
Before Xia Duoduo finished speaking, a hand suddenly reached over her head and snatched the phone away.
She turned her head in surprise and saw Jin Xu looking at her with a deep expression.
The call on his phone hadn’t been ended, An An’s voice faintly came through.
"Give me the phone."
The moment she saw him, Xia Duoduo’s heart was stabbed fiercely, the pain intense. But she showed nothing, only spoke with an indifferent expression.
With his face darkened, Jin Xu decisively hung up the call, then flicked his hand in the air, tossing the phone into the shrubbery beside them.
Xia Duoduo: "..."
He actually threw her phone away.
She secretly clenched her fist then slowly relaxed it. After a brief glance exchanged between them, she decisively turned and walked towards the shrubs.
But before she took two steps, Jin Xu rushed over and caught her around the waist.
Xia Duoduo looked at him in shock, "Jin Xu, what are you doing? Put me down!"
Jin Xu’s face was markedly stern, he completely ignored Xia Duoduo’s protests, striding forward while carrying her towards the villa.
"Jin Xu, you’ve gone mad! Let go of me!"
Xia Duoduo clenched her fists and hit his chest, yet the man was unfazed.
