Chapter 372: Chapter 372 I Refuse_1
Watching her actions, a spark of vengeful satisfaction flitted through Gu Yan’s eyes.
Yes, utterly cruel to this man, in his presence, confess their relationship, brutally shattering his dignity, and let him taste the flavor of heartbreak.
"Third Young Master..." Ye Lu’s hands wrung together, her heart constricting. It was time to end this chaos, she should have come clean long ago.
She gritted her teeth, raised her head, and met ThirdYoung Master Jun’s gaze.
"I’m sorry, but I can’t accept your proposal. You’ll definitely find a better girl in the future; I’m not right for you."
Gu Yan felt disappointment; he thought she would directly state their relationship but she spoke so indirectly. Clearly, she did not want to hurt Jun Huang too much. Was she feeling sorry for that man?
ThirdYoung Master Jun was shaken to the core, watching her in disbelief. His heart trembled, and his breath almost stopped.
"What did you say? Say it again, I don’t believe it."
He could not believe it; she had actually rejected him.
Didn’t she like him too? She was always so gentle, leaning in his arms, being intimate with him, acting like a couple in everyday life.
Most importantly, she once risked her life to save him from gunfire and shielded him when his father humiliated him, even taking a slap for him.
If not for love, why would she do this?
Ye Lu saw the look of fright and pain in his eyes and was taken aback.
She thought he would respond with anger from rejection, indignation from humiliation, but she didn’t expect that deep pained and disbelieving look in his eyes, looking at her so heart-rendingly, with such a wounded expression.
Her heart trembled; did he really care about her answer that much?
But, things have reached this point, she could no longer retreat.
"I can’t accept your proposal."
Hearing these words again, ThirdYoung Master Jun felt a stabbing pain in his chest as if clawed by a merciless beast. He bled and the searing pain made him tremble slightly.
"Why?"
Ye Lu’s lips turned pale, "Because, I don’t love you."
"Why don’t you love me?" he asked harshly, still not understanding.
He was so good to her, so good!
He cherished her in every way, tried everything to please her. Anything she wanted, he would give her, even if it was the world he would present it to her. Whoever bullied her, he would protect her, take revenge brutally for her, not letting anyone hurt her.
She had two illegitimate children, and he swallowed his jealousy, treating her children as his own, loving and protecting them.
She wanted her mother to recover from her illness, so he personally sought out Dr.Carson and to get him out of retirement, he stood outside his door for three days.
In order to surprise her and give her the world’s most unique marriage proposal, he spared no effort to prepare this proposal ceremony, carving his love for her on another planet.
However, why did she still not love him? Why?
"Love can’t be forced. I appreciate your proposal, but don’t I have the right to refuse? Please let me leave," Ye Lu softly spoke, trying to use a gentle tone to avoid making things worse.
Things tonight have been too chaotic, and all she wanted to do was leave this place as soon as possible.
She turned around, not even looking back at Gu Yan, walking alone down the stage. If she left together with Gu Yan, that would be an immense humiliation to ThirdYoung Master Jun.
But she didn’t want to hurt his pride like that.
However, ThirdYoung Master Jun roared, "Stop! You can’t leave like this; I want a real reason."
