Chapter 970: Extra: Jin Lin vs Hua Miaomiao 20 Chapter 970: Extra: Jin Lin vs Hua Miaomiao 20 Some words spoken can lead to regret, some actions taken can lead to regret.

After the indulgence of their passionate encounter had concluded, Hua Miaomiao was filled with regret, regretting how she had lost her rationality and had treated Jin Lin like a beast.

She sat on another sofa, looking at Jin Lin who had her eyes closed but wasn’t actually sound asleep. Her gaze landed on the kiss marks on Jin Lin’s neck before stopping on her sweat-dampened face, and she couldn’t help but want to kill herself.

She had always said she didn’t love her. She had tried every which way to make her leave.

But now, she had forcefully taken what wasn’t willingly given, feeling ashamed of herself, yet also full of guilt.

She knew that as long as she was with Jin Lin, it seemed like everything wouldn’t warrant further questioning, but she wasn’t a good man. She didn’t love Jin Lin, for there was another woman in her heart.

And that was the reason she was unwilling to accept Jin Lin.

But now, having reached this point in their relationship, if she were to force Jin Lin to leave, it seemed unfair. She thought maybe she could accept her, but there were some things she had to make clear to Jin Lin, some things she could never give, not now, not ever.

After making things clear to her, whether Jin Lin chose to leave or stay, she would leave it up to her.

Jin Lin, who hadn’t been sleeping, was all too aware of Hua Miaomiao’s gaze fixed upon her.

But she didn’t dare open her eyes. She didn’t know how Hua Miaomiao would handle everything after their intimate encounter, nor how she would face whatever version of Hua Miaomiao might present itself.

She thought about escaping, but it seemed avoidance wouldn’t solve any problems.

Jin Lin silently sighed and slowly opened her eyes, meeting Hua Miaomiao’s heavy gaze, her face laden with worries and seeming hesitant to speak.

Seeing that she was meeting his gaze, he appeared momentarily at a loss.

Jin Lin looked at her silently, as if waiting for her to speak, as if she knew he had something to say.

When Hua Miaomiao realized all this, she again didn’t know what to say, feeling an indescribable inability to start talking.

“You…” After a long time, she uttered one word, but then the words were swallowed back, turning into, “Are you hungry? Shall I go make something for you to eat?”

“…” Jin Lin looked at her somewhat speechlessly, then after a moment, replied, “No need, I’m not hungry. Just say what you want to say.”

Seeing Jin Lin’s sternness made Hua Miaomiao subconsciously frown, sensing a profound indifference.

She lowered her eyes in thought, then gently said, “About what happened today, I…”

But she paused again, not knowing what to say. Jin Lin pressed her lips together, her expression clearly nervous. In her heart, she actually hoped Hua Miaomiao would choose to be with her because of what had happened.

But judging by Hua Miaomiao’s expression, it seemed unlikely.

Unexpectedly, Hua Miaomiao said to her, “Jin Lin, shall we be together then?”

Happiness surged within her, and Jin Lin’s heart began to thump wildly. She couldn’t believe it and felt a sense of bitter sweetness wash over her.

Yet this feeling lasted only a few seconds before Hua Miaomiao plunged her back into a cold abyss.

He said, “But the love you want, I may not be able to give you.”

To be with her but unable to give her love, Jin Lin gazed at him intently, her voice trembling beyond her control, “…Is it that you can’t give it to me now, or that you can never give it to me?”
