I rejected your confession, but you took my best friend home?

Chapter 349 How could I break up with her without hurting her...?

"fine..."

Yu Jingwan shook her head, looking somewhat dejected, a stark contrast to her earlier demeanor.

Then, she raised her head, looked at Kong Yue, and said softly, "I've told you the truth. Now... it's your decision."

"Huh? I...I've decided on what?"

Kong Yue also stood up, looking bewildered. He blinked, not understanding what she meant.

"Decide whether you still want to be with me. No one wants to be with someone like me, like an orphan, without parents or family. It's okay, just tell me directly, I won't bother you..."

Yu Jingwan forced a smile, but it was a stiff one. No one could understand the pain she was going through.

She hadn't revealed the truth for so long because she knew it was something she couldn't talk about; if she did, no one would want to be near her...

The prostitute's child doesn't even know who the father is; from birth, she's already considered inferior...

This was the first time she had mustered the courage to date, and she didn't want to hide it from him. She wanted to tell him sooner rather than later and let him decide for himself...

"Then...why do you trust me so much...we've never even met, yet you dared to come looking for me. I invited you to my house for the New Year, and you even came..."

Kong Yue still didn't understand this. When he invited her to his home for the New Year, he was actually half-joking and didn't have high hopes...

Who would agree to that? You've only been dating online for a few months, and you're already coming to your online date's house for Chinese New Year? Even if your relationship develops like a rocket, it can't be that fast, right?

But he didn't expect Yu Jingwan to actually come...

Yu Jingwan fidgeted with her fingers awkwardly in front of her, and whispered:

"Because...you said...your mother is my mother, your home is my home...and I...believed it..."

"what..."

Kong Yue was completely stunned; he seemed to have indeed said that.

But isn't that how dating and flirting are all about? It's like, "My mom will be your mom sooner or later..."

You're my girlfriend, so my home is your home too...

That's true, but that's something to think about after marriage. It's normal to say things like that when you're dating...

This is just simple flirting...

But I never expected Yu Jingwan to take this sentence so seriously...

In an instant, Kong Yue realized that it was because of Yu Jingwan's special family background.

That's why she took what she said so seriously...

She really, really needs a mother, really needs a home...

That's why she was able to so boldly accept the invitation and fly over to see him.

She was probably gambling, gambling that she hadn't lied to her, gambling that she wasn't a bad person...

"You...you let me think about it, okay?"

Kong Yue waved his hand, rubbed his head with his hand, and said softly,

He's a bit overwhelmed right now; his mind is racing with so many thoughts that he can't make any decisions...

"Okay, it's alright..."

Yu Jingwan wasn't in a hurry for Kong Yue to make a decision; she certainly didn't want to know the answer so soon.

"It's almost noon... Let's get ready to go out and find them for lunch, okay? Or do you want to take a nap first? You must be tired from waking up early for the flight, right?"

"It's okay, I'm not sleepy."

Yu Jingwan shook her head; she simply couldn't sleep.

Kong Yue contacted Zhou Heng and arranged where to have lunch with them. After hanging up the phone, he took Yu Jingwan and left the hotel to find Zhou Heng and the others.

The restaurant wasn't far from the hotel; the two of them took a taxi and arrived in five minutes.

It was around 11:30 a.m., roughly lunchtime, and the restaurant was quite crowded.

Zhou Heng and his group have arrived and requested a private room.

Kong Yue led Yu Jingwan into the private room and saw that everyone else was already seated.

"Hi--"

Yin Mengran greeted Yu Jingwan warmly, a smile always on her face...

"Hi..."

Yu Jingwan responded positively, saying that although she wasn't familiar with Yin Mengran at all, she could always sense a gentle feeling from her...

Then she saw that there were two more people.

Kong Yue quickly introduced Liao Haomiao and Zhu Tao to her, and they greeted each other.

"This girl seems pretty good...this guy seems quite capable, he's not as weird as you say, is he?"

Liao Haomiao moved closer to Zhou Heng and whispered in his ear.

"Who knows? Whether it's based on skill or something else..."

Zhou Heng shook his head. He knew Kong Yue's strength all too well; there was absolutely no way he could be talking about this girl because of his power...

This girl wasn't particularly outstanding, especially compared to the other girls present; she looked quite ordinary...

She wasn't very tall either; she was the shortest of the girls present.

But she has her own unique characteristics.

That honest and innocent feeling, and the kind of appearance that grows on you the more you look at it.

"Can I call you Xiao Wan? You two, please sit here."

Yin Mengran patted the empty seat next to her and beckoned Yu Jingwan over.

"Ah good."

Yin Mengran gave her the feeling that she would subconsciously agree to anything, making it impossible for her to refuse...

Yu Jingwan sat down next to Yin Mengran, feeling more comfortable sitting there as well.

Everyone else was quiet, but Yin Mengran was the most enthusiastic towards her...

"Please have a seat, everyone. You all chat first, Zhou Ge, Miao Ge, and I will go out to order some food..."

Kong Yue gently patted Yu Jingwan's shoulder and said.

"Ah, okay."

Zhou Heng paused for a moment, frowned slightly, and said, "Why not order it here, why go out..."

Before he could finish speaking, he saw Kong Yue frantically winking and making eye contact with him...

“Uh…” Zhou Heng and Liao Haomiao exchanged a glance.

Although they didn't know what Kong Yue was up to, they still gave him face and stood up together, walking out of the private room with him.

"What's wrong? What's the matter?"

Zhou Heng and Liao Haomiao followed Kong Yue to the outside of the private room and asked in confusion.

After making sure he wasn't being overheard, Kong Yue looked at the two men and whispered, "Um... gentlemen, I'd like to ask you for some advice..."

What advice do you have?

Kong Yue bit his lip, remained silent for a few seconds, as if pondering some important question.

Then, he exhaled and slowly opened his mouth, saying:

"How...how can I break up with her without hurting her..."
