Chapter 280: Chapter 279 Are you tired of it? Chapter 280: Chapter 279 Are you tired of it? The moment Qi Yue’s words fell, Song Qiuqiu and the others were all dumbstruck.

Especially Su Xiaotang, her face was a picture of absolute disaster, uglier than if she herself had been dumped.

Although she had indeed been worried before, her worry was that Gu Huai would break up with Qi Yue.

After all, Gu Huai had suddenly gone out of contact for almost a month, and even if there was a legitimate reason, she couldn’t help but overthink it, fearing it was a prelude to a breakup…

But who could have thought, who could have imagined!

That the person to finally cut her down would be Qi Yue!

Jiang Lang and Ling Feng exchanged a dumbfounded look, their expressions indescribable.

Ling Feng’s head was full of question marks, “Did I hear that wrong? Gu Huai… got dumped?”

Jiang Lang looked at Song Qiuqiu with the eyes one reserves for a scumbag, accusing with heartbroken indignation, “I told you so, I told you so! I had already reminded that love-struck fool, Gu Huai, he should be careful when he’s out, to be more reserved. Now look at this, just as I predicted, he’s going to be picking wild vegetables!”

“Uh…” This time, even Song Qiuqiu couldn’t justify Qi Yue’s actions anymore.

…

Time ticked by, second by second.

Neither Qi Yue nor Gu Huai spoke, the air seemed to freeze.

Qi Yue’s fingers by her side tightened gradually, she stood there stiffly, waiting for Gu Huai’s response.

After what seemed like an eternity, Gu Huai finally spoke, his voice shaking imperceptibly for a moment.

“What… did you say…”

If possible, Qi Yue really wished she could take back what she had just said, but it was too late for regrets.

It was better to make everything clear at once.

Qi Yue took a deep breath, raised her head, and repeated, “I said, when did we break up?”

She seemed composed and calm, but only Qi Yue knew that she was nothing but a paper tiger at that moment, one that would fall apart at the slightest touch.

A paper tiger still appears complete on the surface, intimidating enough, but when she looked at Gu Huai… she saw that he was like an unexpected snowfall in April, his eyes devoid of any sprouting greenery…

Gu Huai reached out, his slender fingers threading through the hair on his forehead, also hiding his face, veiling his emotions temporarily, leaving only his husky voice, “Why…? Are you tired of me?”

Qi Yue had waited for a long time, and when Gu Huai’s response finally came, it was just these three words, which caught her so off-guard that she couldn’t react for a moment, “What…?”

Gu Huai’s eyes were dim, “Jiang Lang and Ling Feng have warned me many times, saying I shouldn’t have agreed to you so easily, that things easily obtained aren’t cherished…”

Qi Yue: “…???”

Did Gu Huai think…

That she had grown bored of him and wanted to break up?

What an injustice! What a terrible misunderstanding!

How could he think such a thing!

Although… Although Song Qiuqiu, Su Xiaotang, and even her second uncle had told her the same thing…

“No… it’s not like that…” Qi Yue’s thoughts were a mess as she hurriedly tried to explain, “That’s not what I meant! I didn’t! It wasn’t me who said we should break up! It’s just that everyone thought we would break up…”

Qi Yue muttered softly, “They even said I wouldn’t last three months before being dumped…”

Gu Huai looked at her, “So, you wanted to break up with me before I broke up with you?”

Qi Yue: “…???”

How come the more she tried to explain, the more tangled it became?

Qi Yue was so frustrated she wanted to jump: “That’s not what I mean!”

Gu Huai’s voice got colder, “Then what do you mean? Or are you trying to say… that the confession was just a whim? That after spending time together, you realized it wasn’t all that great after all?”
