1079 Send Me Home



"You? How are you going to help me fulfill my wish? What if I want the stars in the sky?" Tan Jing felt that Cheng Gu had spoken so immaturely because he was still too young. It was already good enough that a stranger took the time to chat with her, and he had even given her a piece of film with a beautiful image. How could she even dare to hope for anything else?

"That's right. As long as you ask for it, I will definitely fulfill your wish. Even if you want the moon, I can get it for you. What do you want to do the most at this moment? Tell me and I'll help you fulfill this wish. As long as it's something I can do, I'll help you," Cheng Gu said seriously.

Tan Jing looked into Cheng Gu's eyes for a long time. He looked very serious and did not seem to be joking with her. Tan Jing asked in bafflement, "Why do you want to help me? We don't even know each other. What do you get out of helping me, or are you up to something?"

Unexpectedly, Cheng Gu relaxed and smiled. It was not wrong for Tan Jing to feel a sense of hostility towards him. It would be strange if Tan Jing did not feel suspicious at all. He was not concerned about Tan Jing feeling suspicious of him because he was being truly sincere. He was not doing this without anything in mind.

"I just feel that you're a nice person. I want to help you feel happy and find your happiness again. There was a period of time when I encountered many issues and I even thought about committing suicide. I'm still alive and well now because someone helped me back then, so I hope I can help you too," Cheng Gu said.

Tan Jing was skeptical. She looked at the time and then at Cheng Gu's car and said, "Then send me back to the city. I won't be able to get a ride now. It might make me feel happy if you can send me back."

"You're not afraid of me now? You dare to take my car!" Cheng Gu said jokingly.

"Why not? So are you sending me back or not?" Tan Jing asked happily.

Who cares if it is safe or not! Who cares if it is a stranger or someone I know! None of this is important at all!

The most important thing now was to be happy. She wanted to become happy and enjoy happiness!

If Cheng Gu sent her back to the city, she would be able to go home, take a hot shower and have a good night's sleep. This was what she felt like doing the most. It was probably the simplest form of happiness.

Even if Cheng Gu brought her to a remote place to sell her or kill her, that would be even better! She would not have to go back and face those people from the Xia family, nor would she have to be threatened and scolded by the Tan family again. Everything would come to an end and she would no longer need to live such a bitter life.

Sometimes, being alive was worse than being dead. She would prefer a quick death and get it over with.

"For sure. As long as elder sister asks for it, I'll do it," Cheng Gu said with a smile.

The two of them chatted and laughed as they got into the car. Cheng Gu deliberately talked about the embarrassing things that happened to him when he was in school, which resonated with Tan Jing a lot. Along the way, Tan Jing spoke a lot about her childhood and recalled all the happy things that happened in the past. As she talked, she quickly forgot all her recent troubles.

As Tan Jing looked at Cheng Gu's side profile, she felt a sense of security. This sense of security was completely different from what she felt with Xia Wen. When she was with Xia Wen, it felt like she did not need to be afraid of anything because he would always help her out. However, with Cheng Gu, she felt a sense of warmth that could heal the pain in her heart.

Tan Jing did not tell Cheng Gu her real address. Instead, she chose to drop off at the entrance of another neighborhood one kilometer away. It was safer for her this way and Cheng Gu would not be able to find her if he came to this neighborhood in the future.

"This is where I live. Thank you for today," Tan Jing said.

"Elder sister, I hope you will become happier in the future. See you next time," Cheng Gu said with a smile.

Tan Jing shook her head and smiled without saying anything. This was probably the last time they would see each other. It was impossible for them to contact each other again in the future.

As a married woman, how could she become close to a stranger who was a bachelor? She was just asking to be criticized! If there was any gossip about her, her position in the Xia family would be even more precarious. At this moment, everyone in the Xia family valued Qiao Mei a lot and was also very willing to nurture Xia Wen to take over Xia Mao's position in the family. If anything went wrong at this time, Xia Wen definitely would not let her off.

Cheng Gu watched Tan Jing's figure disappear into the neighborhood before he drove off. Tan Jing hid in a dark corner and stared blankly in the direction where Cheng Gu had gone, the piece of film still clenched tightly in her hand.
