Stars In His Eyes-Chapter 1699: His Whole World Is Only You 32

When Ding Jinshi was at the restaurant, she asked Gu En why he was telling her these things. Ding Jinshi certainly knew that Gu En couldn’t be so kind-hearted as to tell her these things out of concern that Ding Long would use her. Logically, since she was about to marry Ding Long, Gu En should be happy. This way, she would permanently exit Lan Li’s life.

"Because I’ve changed my mind. Compared to that woman, I would rather you, Ding Jinshi, be my sister-in-law!" When Gu En said this, his face was full of anger. Indeed, compared to Ding Jinshi, that woman was overly difficult and too arrogant; not to mention her methods, whenever Gu En faced off with her, he never got any advantage.

Gu En thought that since Lan Li was going to marry another woman anyway, she would prefer it to be Ding Jinshi. At least, having grown up living in the same compound, Ding Jinshi would need to take the Gu Family and the Lan Family into account, and thus have to take her, Gu En, into account as well.

And Gu En, she now couldn’t wait to tear that woman apart and swallow her alive. So, since that woman wanted to get close to Lan Li, Gu En was determined not to let her have the chance to cling to him.

Gu En told Ding Jinshi she could help her return to Lan Li’s side.

If it were two years ago, Ding Jinshi would have been excited, happy, and would have even reconciled with Gu En regardless of past grievances upon hearing this.

But now, she scoffed at it. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

She had long since given up on that notion and no longer harbored the idea of returning to Lan Li’s side.

She realized that even after leaving Lan Li, she could still live her own life and be happy every day, so why return to a man who hurt her deeply and court misery?

Lan Li might not cherish her, but she, Ding Jinshi, would not belittle herself.

"Is there something on my face?" Ding Long had already noticed Ding Jinshi looking at his face, and he smiled at her. "Could it be rice stuck on my face?"

Ding Jinshi shook her head, withdrew her gaze, and suddenly asked, "Ding Long, can I trust you?"

Ding Jinshi’s question jolted Ding Long unexpectedly. Before he could speak, he heard Ding Jinshi say with a hint of sobbing in her voice, "Ding Long, if I can’t even trust you, I don’t know who else in this world I can believe."

If someone as good to her as Ding Long also used her as a pawn, then who in the world could genuinely be good to her?

She had a bad temper and a lot of bad habits, yet Ding Long tolerated them all.

He took care of her, was attentive to her, and did all the things she was too lazy to do. Almost all his patience was spent on her. Ding Jinshi wondered if she couldn’t trust someone like Ding Long, then what bright future would she have?

"So, Ding Long, I trust you. You must not disappoint me." Ding Jinshi slowly lifted her gaze with seriousness in her eyes. She didn’t believe a word Gu En said. She told herself she must trust Ding Long, not Gu En, who approached her with hidden motives.

In the eyes of others, Gu En seemed like an angelic, well-behaved person who was pleasing to everyone, but in Ding Jinshi’s world, Gu En was nothing short of a devil.

"Alright." Ding Long nodded solemnly, then gently wrapped an arm around Ding Jinshi’s shoulder, "I promise you."

Perhaps it was because of Ding Long’s response, or maybe because she had finally sorted out her emotions, Ding Jinshi appeared with a smile again and said in a half-joking tone, "If you dare to deceive me, I’ll die to show you!"
