Chapter 1534: Chapter 1534: The World Doesn’t Revolve Around Her
But this time, he just said coldly: Then leave, I won’t stop you.
Thinking of these words, my heart feels a dull ache.
"He actually knows you’re leaving and doesn’t try to keep you," Jun Yuan looked surprised too. Although the same age, he was much more mature-minded than Yiyi. Yiyi had been pampered since childhood, everyone loved and protected her, inevitably making her spoiled and capricious. However, as her brother, Jun Yuan was much more sensible, "You must have made him angry."
"Why does it have to be me who made him angry? Clearly, he made me mad," Yiyi retorted with her small face full of indignation.
"Because Brother Ling Kong usually doesn’t argue with you. If he is angry with you, you must have done something particularly troublesome."
Yiyi glared, "I didn’t. If he’s angry at me, can’t I be angry at him? Hmph, I’ve decided, I won’t talk to him for a month. No, I won’t for a year. If he doesn’t coax me, I’ll ignore him forever."
She proudly lifted her little head. Anyway, Brother Ling Kong would definitely come to coax her; he surely couldn’t stand her ignoring him.
By then, she would pretend to still be angry and ignore him, and he would surely try harder to appease and dote on her. After he repeatedly tried to please her, she might reluctantly forgive him!
Thinking of that scene, Yiyi felt delighted, and her mood brightened as she returned home, full of cheer.
But what she didn’t expect was not that she would ignore Brother Ling Kong, but that Brother Ling Kong would never speak to her again.
From the moment she returned home, although she appeared indifferent on the surface, carrying on her happy life as a little princess, she actually lingered by the phone every night, nervous and hopeful, afraid to miss his call.
But after waiting a month, Brother Ling Kong didn’t call, and she felt a bit disappointed.
Scratching her head in distress, she thought maybe she had been too harsh when speaking back then, and Brother Ling Kong got a little angry. Once he calmed down, he would soon come to coax her.
However, she waited two months, three months, five months... even a year, and Brother Ling Kong really hadn’t called her even once.
Yiyi truly panicked in her heart.
She wanted to call him but couldn’t swallow her pride.
Luckily, her ninth birthday was approaching soon, and Brother Ling Kong would surely come. In past years, he always prepared wonderful gifts for her, each carefully selected, all things she absolutely loved.
But on the night of her ninth birthday, her birthday party was celebrated grandly, causing a sensation throughout the city. Her parents, grandparents, and all her relatives came. She was dressed like a little princess, with everyone competing to kiss her cheeks, hugging her with smiles, and praising how much cuter and prettier she had become.
The scene was so blissful, with her as the little princess cherished by everyone.
But no matter how long she waited, Brother Ling Kong didn’t show up.
Only his gift arrived.
She ran alone to the garden, opened his gift box, and found a life-sized doll, very beautiful, exquisite, and expensive with large precious gems for the eyes.
Yet it couldn’t fill the sorrow and disappointment in Yiyi’s heart.
She picked up the card hanging from the doll’s neck, and inside was just a cold and formulaic sentence, no different from what other ordinary guests at the party wrote: Happy Birthday!
Yiyi held the doll helplessly and cried out loud.
At that moment, having never experienced setbacks before, she vaguely realized that the world doesn’t revolve around her as she imagined, and not everything she wishes for can be obtained.
