Chapter 753: Giving You All My Privileges

Cai Xiaotang's heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously blurted out, "How did you kno..."

Halfway through her sentence, she suddenly realized she had let something slip and hurriedly stopped.

Hearing the meaning behind her unfinished sentence, the smile on Liu Qingze's lips deepened.

"It seems you really do intend to get a divorce? Since that's the case, then whether or not I worry about the influence shouldn't matter much anymore, right?"

As he spoke, he leaned a little closer to Cai Xiaotang, his seemingly bold gaze masking a hint of nervousness.

Then, without waiting for her reply, he continued, "It's too late to make excuses now. The day you were drunk, I accidentally heard you chatting with Li Xiao. Besides the divorce, I also know you're planning to give him a card with ten million in it."

"You..."

Cai Xiaotang was rendered speechless by his words, and for a moment, she didn't know how to refute him.

What on earth did she do when she was drinking that day?

How could she have even said something like that!

That card was indeed meant to be returned to Li Xiao, that was true...

"Cai Xiaotang."

Liu Qingze spoke up suddenly.

This time he didn't call her "sister," but addressed her directly by her name, his tone more serious than ever before.

Cai Xiaotang subconsciously looked up at him, and catching the hidden emotions in his eyes, her heart instantly tightened.

Her intuition told her that this boy was likely about to say something shocking again.

Sure enough...

Liu Qingze paused for two seconds, then said directly, "I might not have been very clear yesterday, so now I can tell you directly..."

He paused for a moment, his expression becoming even more cautious and earnest than before.

"I. Like. You."

Four words, each one landing with a heavy thud in Cai Xiaotang's ears.

Her hand resting on the railing tightened abruptly, and she pursed her lips without speaking.

Liu Qingze didn't urge her, just quietly waiting for her reply.

After a long while—"Liu Qingze."

Cai Xiaotang didn't want to treat this confession rashly, so she weighed her words before slowly speaking: "The two of us... just in terms of age, there is already a large gap, and I am also your sister's friend..."

"These are all objective reasons."

Liu Qingze frowned and interrupted her, meeting her eyes directly: "Don't worry about what others think, I only want to know, you..."

He stopped mid-sentence.

He had wanted to ask "Do you like me?", but when the words reached his lips, he suddenly felt a bit unsure of himself.

He didn't want to be rejected so quickly...

"Do you hate me?"

He changed his approach.

"I don't hate you."

Cai Xiaotang answered crisply, without the slightest intention of lying.

"Then... will you get a divorce later?"

Liu Qingze continued to press.

Cai Xiaotang's gaze flickered for a moment, the image of Li Xiao suddenly appearing in her mind, her mood complex, and then she nodded lightly, her tone certain: "I will."

"Then that's that, isn't it?"

Liu Qingze chuckled: "To me, no problem is a problem. You can take your time handling your affairs, no need to rush your reply to me. When you really are divorced one day, then consider what I said today, but... it's best not to make me wait too long..."

He narrowed his eyes, his tone carrying a hint of a "threat."

"Liu Qingze, we..."

Cai Xiaotang still wanted to say something.

But her hand on the railing was suddenly pressed down by someone.

"Sister."

Liu Qingze's grip was surprisingly strong, and no matter how he tried to hide it, a hint of nervousness still showed in his eyes.

He looked at Cai Xiaotang with a touch of helplessness and reached up to ruffle his own hair in slight agitation.

Only then did Cai Xiaotang notice that even the tips of his ears were red.

"I didn't want to say these things, but..."

He spoke suddenly, his speed much faster than before, yet he continued firmly: "I told you before that I've never been in a relationship, but actually, I've never even had anyone I liked. You are the first..."

Liu Qingze's voice grew quieter as he spoke, his entire ears almost burning up.

"Tch... so cheesy..."

He muttered to himself, then suddenly took a deep breath, his gaze meeting Cai Xiaotang's eyes with unusual firmness.

"Usually, I don't like others touching my hair or wearing my clothes. Actually, I have many flaws, but if it's you, anything is fine. I want to give you all the privileges regarding me."

His confession was passionate and unreserved, offering up all his sincerity with absolute genuineness.

Cai Xiaotang had never imagined that she, too, could be liked by someone like this.

Every word from the boy was like a direct pitch, slamming into her heart one by one.

After a long while...

"I..."

Cai Xiaotang stammered, her voice slightly hoarse.

"Don't reject me yet. I said, wait until you've finished handling everything before considering it. I'll give you time to think. Since you don't hate me, then everything else is not a problem."

As Liu Qingze spoke, he suddenly grabbed her hand and turned to leave.

"Where are we going?"

Cai Xiaotang was caught off guard as she was dragged away, and she asked instinctively.

Immediately after, a helmet was tossed into her arms.

"Taking you back, so you can think it over slowly."

Cai Xiaotang: "..."

How had she never noticed before that this brat was so overbearing?

From just now until now, the initiative seemed to have been entirely on his side...

No wonder he had been so good to her lately and always acting so strange; it turned out he had accidentally overheard that she was getting a divorce...

But even so, the two of them couldn't...

The journey was silent; Liu Qingze took Cai Xiaotang back to the entrance of the hotel and watched as she got into the car without a word.

"I'm heading back now."

Cai Xiaotang's mind was in a mess; as she spoke, she looked at Liu Qingze, wanting to say something but hesitating.

Should she tell him that she already had someone she liked?

Cai Xiaotang's gaze flickered for a moment, and she suddenly recalled the feeling she had when Li Xiao had replied to her in the same way.

Bitter and sad.

Without even having a chance to pursue him, she had already been cast aside.

Because there was already someone else in his heart.

That was a feeling she would never forget for the rest of her life.

Now, it was her turn to potentially use the same words to hurt a boy who had just confessed his feelings to her.

Because she truly regarded him as a friend and had taken his frank and direct confession to heart—unlike those people she had met before who were only interested in her looks—she wanted to minimize the hurt of rejection...

"What are you thinking about?"

Seeing her staring blankly at him, Liu Qingze suddenly propped one hand on her car window and leaned over slightly.

"Sister, if you don't leave now, I'm afraid I won't be able to bear letting you go."

Another straight shot, catching Cai Xiaotang off guard.

"I'm leaving!"

Cai Xiaotang shot him an annoyed look and rolled up the car window directly.

Only then did Liu Qingze stand up with a smile and wave at her.

Cai Xiaotang took one last look at him, stepped on the gas pedal, and drove away.

Afterward, she couldn't help but glance back through the rearview mirror, sighing helplessly in her heart.

What should she do...
