Chen Tingting's heart pounded. 'She just admitted it like that? She even repeated it twice?'
'Xue Rui can hear her!'
She turned to look at Xue Rui, and her heart suddenly sank.
Xue Rui hadn't immediately refuted it. 'Doesn't that mean he's admitting it?'
'In other words, Lin Ruoxi is already Xue Rui's girlfriend?'
"You two..." Chen Tingting's eyes glazed over.
'Was she too late, after all?'
But she wasn't as sad or hurt as she had imagined. It was as if she had long expected this day would come.
'But I won't give up.'
Lin Ruoxi said earnestly, "I... I'm still pursuing him. I'm trying really hard."
The young woman knew Chen Tingting was also pursuing Xue Rui, so this seemed like a declaration of her own resolve.
Chen Tingting's eyes widened. For a moment, she didn't understand what Lin Ruoxi meant.
She thought it over carefully. 'Xue Rui hasn't agreed to be with Lin Ruoxi yet?'
'Well, good men are hard to get.'
That's what her mom always said.
