Chapter 1038: Rest assured that you still have me…

“Xiaoyu, why were you crying earlier? Also, I seem to have heard you mention me…”

There were some minute changes in the couple’s expression at her question.

The woman’s smile faltered.

“What’s wrong?” Pei Ge blinked in confusion at her stiff expression.

“Nothing.” Half a beat later, Tang Xiaoyu returned to herself. Her smile also came back as she shook her head lightly at her. “I wasn’t crying because of anything but you!”

“Huh? Me?”

She became more flabbergasted at this and eyed her best friend with bafflement. “You were crying because of me?”

“Of course! My boyfriend came so I couldn’t control my emotions earlier and cried while telling him about your situation.”

At this point, her best friend stuck out her tongue the way she used to do when they were young as she showed a seemingly embarrassed expression.

“Ah, so that’s it!” She nodded understandingly. She finally got why her friend had cried and why she seemed to have heard her name being mentioned in her hazy state before.

Her reply made the other woman sigh in relief.

Meanwhile, unlike his girlfriend, Gu Zhengrong’s expression became even more conflicted.

He of course wanted to introduce himself to the woman in bed, but unexpectedly, his girlfriend spoke first. Once she did…

Thinking up to this point, he pursed his lips tighter and turned to look at Pei Ge with a dim gaze. His gaze was filled with conflict and heaviness.

It was as though he were looking at his most beloved woman.

Pei Ge could obviously read this gaze. She regarded the man, and finding his gaze strange but seeing her best friend’s beaming face, which seemed not to mind her boyfriend’s attitude, she quickly repressed her queer feeling.

“I’m really sorry; I didn’t expect our first meeting to be with me looking unpresentable.”

Feeling more awkward by the second under this fiery gaze, she lightly coughed and said with embarrassment to break the awkward silence.

However, while this statement broke the awkward atmosphere in the room, the man’s reply made her feel awkward alone.

“It’s okay. Your health isn’t in great condition, so you should rest some more. Rest assured that I am here for you. In the future… you no longer have to worry about so many things.”

Huh?

Stunned at this, she widened her eyes at her best friend’s boyfriend.

Excuse me?! What is this man saying?!

Do we have a deep relationship? This should be our first meeting!

Only after she had directed her queer gaze onto him did the man realize what he had just said. This made him look as if he were being overly familiar.

“Ha ha ha! Ge Ge, I tell my boyfriend about you all the time. He knows how close we are, so although this is you two’s first meeting, he no longer treats you as a stranger! He considers you as family now.”

Sensing that the air was stilling, Tang Xiaoyu chuckled and explained.

Despite that, the other still found something off with this. However, after considering it a little more, it sounded reasonable to her ears.

She and her best friend were truly very close that they seemed more like biological sisters.

With this man being her best friend’s boyfriend, his words then were explainable…

Ah. He actually loves my best friend more than expected!

“Plus, I’ve told him, time and again, that your matter is mine, too and asked him to help you out!”

The man’s eyebrows tightly furrowed as his palms, which hung loosely at his sides, balled into fists.

“Xiaoyu, your boyfriend loves you so much…”

She shifted her gaze away from him onto her best friend as she lamented.

She used to think that the man did not love her best friend as much as she did to him and felt that their relationship was one-sided, but having met him now, she realized that her thoughts were wrong.

Since this man was treating her so well, he must be treating her best friend even better.

Thinking of this, she recalled her relationship with Ji Ziming.

At once, she could not help but lament, “I really envy you…”

The expressions of the other two in the room immediately changed the moment she said this.

Tang Xiaoyu’s expression turned even more shy and abashed. Meanwhile, Gu Zhengrong, who was supposedly very much in love with the woman, had a dark face…

His expression was not as jubilant as hers but seemed to be tinged with… desolation and indignance, instead.

Is this really good… Is going on like this truly alright…

Do I really want to continue acting with Tang Xiaoyu?

The moment I found out that she’s not the girl I thought she was, I should’ve confronted her…

If I did, perhaps now… I and Pei Ge won’t end up like this.

Still… without her, I would likely be unable to find my angel…

He took a deep breath and suddenly had an urge to tell the truth.

“Pei Ge…”

He gazed at the woman with a gentleness and sincerity. Just from his deep gaze alone, one could infer that he was a very patient person.

“Hm?”

Alas, the woman did not think much of this gentle gaze and merely looked at him in confusion, not knowing what he wanted to tell her.

“Actually, we’ve—” Known each other.
