Chapter 1022: The Flash Marriage Heiress (6)

Even if the host poured out ten million sincere hearts, Luo Yicheng would never forget Qian Beibei. On the contrary, Qian Beibei would only become more important to him.

He had always known that Tang Guo liked him. Trying to move him with feelings now would accomplish nothing.

Host-sama truly was clever—she had seen through everything at a glance.

Tang Guo ordered an extravagant spread of takeout. About half an hour later, a knock sounded from outside.

As Tang Guo stepped out to collect the delivery, Luo Yicheng heard the commotion and emerged from his room. Seeing the bags in her hands, he remembered that she hadn't eaten much today either, and guilt flashed across his eyes.

"I'm sorry. I didn't think things through."

"It's fine. I ordered your portion too."

Tang Guo arranged the food on the table and looked up at him with a smile. "Come eat."

"I'm not hungry."

"You have to eat even if you're not hungry. Your body won't be able to take it otherwise." Tang Guo patiently persuaded him. "If your body gives out, how are you supposed to work in a few days? So many things have happened, Yicheng, but you can't spend the rest of your life like this, can you?"

Luo Yicheng walked over and sat at the table, but he still made no move to pick up his chopsticks.

"Take care of yourself and work hard. You're already amazing. In just five years you've achieved what many people spend a lifetime chasing. You're bound to succeed eventually—it just takes time."

The disappointment in Luo Yicheng's eyes faded slightly, replaced by renewed determination. Tang Guo was right. Compared to most people, he really was outstanding.

"Niu Jinlan looks down on your background and demanded six hundred and sixty thousand yuan in bride price right in front of everyone today. That's simply shortsighted. Anyone with eyes can tell that Luo Yicheng is a stock with enormous potential. Give yourself enough time, and your future won't be bad."

Deeply encouraged, Luo Yicheng finally began eating. Though he still wasn't in the best mood, Tang Guo's words improved his appetite. Only now did he realize how uncomfortable his empty stomach felt.

Looking at the bowl of porridge in front of him, warmth spread through his heart. When he looked at Tang Guo again, there was even more guilt in his eyes.

He had always known that this rich young lady liked him. But he and Beibei had gotten together during their freshman year.

After learning he already had a girlfriend, Tang Guo had straightforwardly apologized and quietly withdrawn. Yet her feelings for him had never changed.

Throughout their four years of university, Tang Guo hadn't dated a single boyfriend.

And today, in a moment of impulse, he had suddenly asked her whether she wanted to marry him. Thinking back now, he felt a trace of regret.

"That's more like it. Once you're full, go take a shower and get a good night's sleep. Tomorrow will be a brand-new day." Tang Guo's eyes curved into crescents as she smiled. "Rest for two days, and you'll be able to return to work full of energy."

System: So you can make money for her?

Luo Yicheng nodded heavily. "I will."

Since he had already married her, he would try to forget Qian Beibei. After all, Qian Beibei had chosen her mother. There was nothing more he could say.

He couldn't possibly insist on marrying her and make her shoulder the stigma of being unfilial.

If there was anyone to blame, it was himself. He still wasn't capable enough to satisfy Niu Jinlan.

Thinking of Tang Guo's words of encouragement, much of his previous dejection disappeared. Even his eating speed quickened.

After finishing the meal, Luo Yicheng watched Tang Guo gather the trash and place it by the door. The more he watched, the more he felt sorry for the girl who genuinely loved him.

After some thought, he reached into his pocket, took out one of his bank cards, and handed it to her.

"I know you don't lack money, and I don't have much either, but this is my attitude."

At present, he truly couldn't accept being with her as husband and wife.

He needed time.
