Chapter 1608: Rubik's Cube Beauty (70)

No matter how many rivals appeared, Xiaoguo liked only him. He didn't need to do anything else. As long as he loved her and protected her well, that was enough.

Jun Ming truly hadn't expected her heart to be so hard. She wouldn't even give him the chance to speak with her alone.

“Xiaoguo, I sincerely like you.”

“Your feelings are merely an outlet for your own emotions, something born within your own heart. In truth, they have very little to do with me,” Tang Guo answered.

System thought to himself that he had known all along. If the Host didn't like someone, no amount of affection would help.

No one should think they could bind her footsteps with devotion.

And no one should dream of using kindness or favors to demand love in return. Impossible!

“Why are you not moved in the slightest?” Jun Ming asked unwillingly. “I'm different from all of you. I hate deathly energy, yet I can't live without it. Every time I came to Trading City to see you, I had to endure the noisy, bustling aura of the living, all for the sake of seeing you once. Every visit caused some damage to my body, but I still wanted to see you.”

“Did I ask you to come?” Tang Guo raised her eyes and asked calmly. “If I had invited you, then that would be my fault, and I would owe you. But everything you've done has been your own wishful thinking. I never knew you harbored such feelings. All you've done is move yourself. None of it touches me.”

Jun Ming stared at her face. “You're truly merciless.”

“Because your actions have already affected my relationship with Gong Wei. Between the two of you, I can only speak to you coldly and make things clear, so that my relationship with Gong Wei isn't harmed. Every man for himself, and heaven destroys those who do otherwise. I won't spare your pride at the expense of hurting the person who's more important to me.”

“You really are a cold, heartless, stone-hearted, cruel woman,” Jun Ming said in an icy voice. “Falling for you was my bad luck.”

“Thank you for the compliment. Realizing it now isn't too late.”

System thought that the Host was about to drive the poor man to death from anger.

Watching Tang Guo leave while holding Gong Wei's arm, Jun Ming asked one final question, “What's so good about him?”

“I think he's good. To me, everything about him is good. No examples are necessary.”

At last, Jun Ming stopped following them.

Gong Wei still held her tightly, showing no intention of letting go.

“Xiaoguo, Jun Ming often came to Trading City to see you in the past?”

Tang Guo lifted her eyes and glanced at him. “The one he sought wasn't me.”

Gong Wei understood immediately.

That's right. The former her had not been this her.

He didn't know where she had come from, but by the time she arrived, his heart had already fallen completely and could never be retrieved.

“Xiaoguo, what you said earlier made me very happy.”

Tang Guo smiled brightly. “Then you'd better treat me well. If you don't, I'm just as cold and heartless toward everyone.”

“Xiaoguo, when we get married, let's sign a contract.”

“What kind of contract?” Tang Guo already had a feeling. This man was merely pretending to be clueless, while understanding everything perfectly inside.

Sure enough, she heard him say, “A contract of life and death together. If you die, I die. If you perish, I perish.”

That way, if one day she left this place, he wouldn't remain behind because of the Rubik's Cube World, condemned to loneliness and solitude.

When the Rubik's Cube World sensed that their lifespans were nearing their end, it would automatically nurture new City Lords.
