Chapter 1081 Certainty

• Mingming looked at the floor and the cracks on it. They were abyssal and interconnected. Maybe this is how trust looks like once cracks appear. Everything seemed unrelated, but it is irrevocable. There was too big a gap between Mo Bai and Xiao Chen. If their relationship was only maintained through fickle affection, problems would bubble up once the love fades with time. She didn’t want to be this rational or pessimistic, but if she were to let him know that Xiao Chen was Mingming, she knew that this modicum of affection would be gone and reduced to atoms. The thought of that plunged her into the abyss. “There is no need to meet up. Yes, I am a hack. I can do anything for money. Your mother made it very clear that day that no matter how much I work or how much you love me, I will never be able to marry into your family.” She paused for a moment before continuing, “So I don’t want to do this any longer. I do like you. After all, you’re handsome and rich. Any girl would fall for that. But, it’s impossible between us. If it’s all the same, then just take this as a help you’ve given me. Just let me make some money. Nothing wrong with that, right? You saw how poor people like us can’t even fork out hundreds of thousands to save a kid’s life. Money’s good stuff, you know.” She held her injured arm with her other hand, the stab of pain coming from it sobered her up a little.

• And also because you care about me. You’re kind to me, and you’ve touched my heart like nobody else can, and there’s so much more. However, she couldn’t say that. “What else did you expect?”
