Billionaire's Secret Love

His words, like a sharp thorn, violently pierced into her heart.

"Who would have thought, after seven years of absence, you've acquired a taste for prying into others' private lives!"

She looked at him coldly, her gaze even icier than the frost in his eyes.

Huo Jingting released her shoulders, lifted his hand, and trapped her jaw in his grip, pressing her tightly against the cold wall behind her.

A chill breath escaped his lips as he sneered, "I also didn't expect that Miss Gu would become so sharp-tongued after seven years. If I recall correctly, back in the day, you were always gentle and obedient around me..."

Before he could finish speaking, Gu Nanqiao's left hand came up, carrying a deep and intense hatred as it forcefully slapped his handsome face.

"Slap—"

The crisp sound of the slap echoed, reverberating in both of their ears.

She trembled all over from his few words, her eyes quietly reddening, but her gaze toward him remained stubborn and proud.

How could he...

How could he use her past affection and tenderness towards him as a tool to harm her now?

"Shut your mouth. I don't want to hear you talk about anything related to me!" she articulated each word with a cold tone, "You, are not worthy."

"Heh…" Huo Jingting let out a laugh, his handsome features slightly contorted as he stared at her for two seconds, then suddenly lowered his head and bit fiercely onto her cherry lips.

As their lips met, his narrow eyes fixed on her, still as cold and merciless as before, but his voice revealed a trace of blurriness as it spread between them, "Do you hate me that much?"

Gu Nanqiao just found his question ridiculous and pushed him away forcefully.

She hated him, but she didn't admit it, "Mr. Huo is joking. We have no grudges; why should I hate you?"

"Then, do you still love me?" Huo Jingting hesitated before asking this question.

He saw her messy hair sticking to her face, making her dark eyes even more captivating.

"…" Gu Nanqiao felt she was going to explode with rage.

Still love him?

Still love him??

Still love him???

It was he who had abandoned her for his career, leaving her with the deepest wound and the heaviest blow through his sudden disappearance.

During the most painful and difficult times, he hadn't even given her a single phone call.

He had completely left her behind, and now, he had returned and shamelessly asked her if she still loved him.

Huo Jingting, do you think I could still love you?

"Just the fluttering of a young heart, it doesn't count as love. We've both moved on; let's not dwell on the past anymore."

After dropping those words, she turned around and walked toward the door.

To her surprise, Huo Jingting didn't persist this time but instead, with his back to her, clenched his fists slightly.

Only when her figure had gradually disappeared from his line of sight did his fists, like unleashed beasts, violently smash against the wall.

Warm blood trickled down the wall as the man's muscular chest tensed, heaving dramatically.

He replayed the words she had just said in his mind and suddenly felt the rage in his chest, impossible to suppress, spreading throughout.

Let go?

Gu Nanqiao, you never knew what I truly wanted!

The thing I want, I could never truly let go of in this lifetime!
