Chapter 9: New Girlfriend?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Upon hearing Su Can’s words, Tu Ling, who was standing at the door, sneered immediately. She said, “Su Can, you’re a serial womanizer. How dare you say that I cheated on you?”

Following that, Tu Ling sized Li Jiayu, who was sitting across from Su Can, up. Then, she looked at Su Can contemptuously as she clicked her tongue and said, “You’re really quite capable…” Then, she said to Li Jiayue, “You’re quite pretty. No wonder Su Can targeted you.”

Su Can and Li Jiayue frowned at almost the same time upon hearing these words.

Su Can looked at Tu Ling and said coldly, “Shut up, Tu Ling.”

However, Tu Ling only looked at Su Can disdainfully and said, “Su Can, I remember that you usually go straight to the hotel after picking up a beautiful woman. Why did you change and bring her here for a date this time?”

“Do you think everyone’s like you? As soon as you find someone, you have to go to the hotel immediately,” Su Can said with a sneer. He really had nothing good to say about someone like Tu Ling.

Su Can continued to say, “When I was with you, I treated you sincerely. I bought you almost everything you wanted. However, while you were with me and spending my money, you hooked up with a male executive who was more than twenty years older than you. Did you think I was unaware of what you’d done? I only didn’t say it out loud when we broke up. Considering our relationship, I was only trying to preserve your dignity. If you continue to look for trouble with me, don’t blame me for revealing all the things you’ve done in the past!”

“You!” Tu Ling was like a cat whose tail was stepped on. Her expression darkened immediately. When she regained her composure, she pretended to be calm. She raised her head slightly and chuckled coldly before she said with a scoff, “Little girl, remember this. Su Can is a womanizer. As long as you ask around, you’ll find out what he has done. You’ll regret it sooner or later if you get together with a man like him.”

The atmosphere changed immediately as soon as Tu Ling’s voice fell.

“Su Can, is what she said true?” Li Jiayue asked before she stared at Su Can quietly.

Tu Ling smiled smugly.

Su Can instinctively lowered his head and avoided Li Jiayue’s gaze. To be honest, before meeting her, his private life was indeed quite messy. However, after meeting her, he had changed his previous thoughts. As his relationship with Li Jiayue gradually warmed up, the only thing he wanted was to spend the rest of his life peacefully with her. However, it seemed like this hope would be shattered now.

Su Can sighed inwardly. It seemed like the karma from his previous escapades was coming for him now. Nonetheless, he was not going to give up without a fight. Even those who were imprisoned still had hoped so how could he give up so easily?

Finally, Su Can nodded and said, “Yes. It’s true that my private life was a little messy before.” Then, he raised his head and looked at Li Jiayue sincerely before he continued to say, “However, listen to me, Li Jiayue. I’ve already…”

At this moment, Tu Ling, who was standing at the door, interjected impatiently, “That’s enough, Su Can. Stop making excuses for yourself. Don’t lie to a young girl who’s just about to join society. At the end of the day, you’re rotten to the core.”

At this moment, Li Jiayue reached out to hold Su Can’s hand before she turned to look at Tu Ling, who was leaning against the door, and said, “No, I think you misunderstood him. I don’t think Su Can is as bad as you said he is.”

“Little girl, are you blind? What’s so good about a promiscuous scumbag like him?” Su Can said with a scoff.

“You just can’t see the good in him,” Li Jiayue said confidently as she shook her head at Tu Ling, “The women he met before were all like you, right? Birds of a feather flock together, right? How could he be a better person if he were in the company of people like you?”

Tu Ling was rendered speechless by Li Jiayue’s three consecutive questions.

“You!”

Finally, Tu Ling stomped her foot. Before she left, she said, “In any case, if you choose to be with him, you’ll definitely regret it in the future!”

After Tu Ling left, the atmosphere did not ease and remained awkward.

Su Can cleared his throat and called out, “Li Jiayue…”

However, before Su Can could finish his words, Li Jiayue said, “I don’t care about what your ex said. As long as you’re good to me in the future, it’s enough for me.”

Su Can did not know what to say for a moment. In the end, he only said, “I will.”

Despite his simple words, Su Can’s gaze was sincere and determined. Since Li Jiayue trusted him, he naturally would not disappoint her.

“I believe you will,” Li Jiayue said gently as she nodded.

Once again, Su Can felt that spending the rest of his life with Li Jiayue was the best thing that he could do. He held her hand and thought to himself resolutely, ‘No matter what, I can’t let my nightmare come true!’

Su Can knew he had to speed up his plans after this.

“Oh, right. I’ll be free after my graduation. Perhaps, I can help you with the shelter,” Li Jiayue suddenly said. A sweet smile appeared on her face as she continued to say, “I wonder if a little assistant like me will be of help to you.”

“Of course! However, before that, I have a question for you,” Su Can said mysteriously before he scooted closer to Li Jiayue and asked, “Do you think that in the future, there’s a possibility of a high-scale disaster happening?”

“Yes. Moreover, I think the possibility is very high,” Li Jiayue replied without hesitation, “Due to the nature of my parents’ work, I know a little more about disasters compared to the average person. The current abnormal climate is most likely a precursor to a disaster.”

Su Can’s expression turned solemn as he said, “Then when the time comes when the disaster is about to strike… I swear that I’ll protect you.”

Li Jiayue could not help but laugh when she saw the solemn expression on Su Can’s face. She asked, “Why are you suddenly so serious?” She looked at Su Can, looking half-serious and half-joking, before she continued to say, “Alright. When the time comes, you have to protect me well.”
