Back When I Was the Female Top Dog - Chapter 21

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

I focused on the phone in front of me. There was a photo of me kneeling in front of Instructor Liu’s office.

I secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was not a photo of me satisfying Instructor Liu’s perverted request.

Actually, at that time, I was still too naive. Later on, I learned that even if I didn’t beg Instructor Liu, he would still take the initiative to bring Liu Tao home. After all, Liu Tao was his biological son.

This was a tug-of-war between father and son. However, because of my participation, Liu Tao lost to Instructor Liu.

“aren’t you going to explain yourself? If not for Wang Fangfang telling me, I wouldn’t have known you had gone to look for that guy.” Liu Tao looked at me angrily.

Iwas very afraid that Liu Tao would be angry, even more afraid that Instructor Liu would be angry. However, this time, I had to go against Liu Tao.

“Don’t you already know? Do you even need me to say anything?” I pretended to be indifferent.

“Why did you secretly go and find him behind my back? Don’t you know that this will make us lose? How are we supposed to keep our heads held up in front of him in the future?”

Liu Tao said disappointedly.

“What do you mean by ‘us’? You were the one who was angry with your father this time. Why did you have to come out? You even brought me along. You were the one who lost. Not me. It was me. It was you. Can you stop fooling around?” I pretended to be heartless.

“Why are you separating yourself from me now? Weren’t we a team?” Liu Tao said angrily.

“It’s always been like this. It’s simply impossible for us to be together. All of this has been your one-sided love. I was only cooperating with you to play a dating game. No way, Young Master Liu… Could it be that you were serious? Now I really feel honored.”

After saying this, my heart ached. I knew that if I didn’t say this, I wouldn’t be able to cut off my relationship with Liu Tao. In the past, I wasn’t worthy of him because I was poor. Now, I’m even less worthy of him because I had been sullied.

In my understanding, I had been disloyal to him by doing that disgusting thing I did with Instructor Liu.

“Then why did you run out with me back then?” Liu Tao questioned me.

“Of course it’s because I’ve been stuck at home for too long and wanted to come out and experience new things. However, I really regret coming out with you. In the end, I didn’t experience anything and ended up getting cooped up in such a place all day long. And to think that I thought that Young Master

Liu’s wealth would be abundant…”

I pretended to mock Liu Tao. I wanted to tell him how happy I had been after running out with him for the past few days… I also wanted to tell him how much ! liked him, but I couldn’t.

“So did you lie to me when you said that you like me?”

Liu Tao asked me with red eyes.

“can’t say that it was a lie. After all, you’re good to me, However, I like that dazzling and generous Liu Tao who can buy things for me. I don’t like the Liu Tao who can only buy me steamed buns everyday by picking up trash. I’m sorry. I’ve suffered enough in the past. I don’t want to suffer with you again.”

Looking at the sad Liu Tao, I wanted to tell him the truth. However, I couldn’t. I couldn’t implicate him again because of me.

“So you’re also a vain person.”

Liu Tao said sadly.

really want to hug Liu Tao and correct him, I wanted to tell him that no matter how hard life was, I was still willing to be with him. However, I didn’t want the pampered Liu Tao to live a difficult life with me.

After coming out, Liu Tao stopped buying things he liked like before and spent almost all his money.

He also did not have the time to play games. He spent all his time earning money and accompanying me.

1 didn’t now if Liu Tao liked this, but I knew that he would definitely be willing to continue to do this for me. However, I can’t selfishly ruin Liu Tao’s original life.

It was enough for me to suffer alone. Why did I have to get Liu Tao to suffer with me? Moreover, Liu Tao had to suffer twice the pain alone just to dote on me. This made me uneasy.

Iwas silent for a moment before saying to Liu Tao with a cold face, “That’s right. Who doesn’t want a stable life? I only came out to seek some thrills. Why did you have to take everything so seriously? Couldn’t you have listened to Instructor Liu obediently? Why couldn’t you have just gone back to being a

young master? Why did you have to pick up trash with me and be a beggar?”

“Shen Ling, I used to trust you so much. I’ve always thought that as long as you’re brave enough, I can spend the rest of my life with you. However, I didn’t expect you to be such a person. Don’t you know what he’ll do to you?”

Liu Tao asked unwillingly.

“know. What’s wrong? I believe you’ll protect me even if I break your heart, right? Moreover, who doesn’t want to live a comfortable life? Who wants to pick up trash every day?” I deliberately said these heartless words.

However, every word was like a saber that stabbed into Liu Tao’s heart.

“Shen Ling, are you hiding something from me? You weren’t like this before.” Liu Tao seemed to have realized something and suddenly asked me.

“What’s there to hide? I’ve been acting pitiful from the beginning to the end to make you like and protect me. Don’t you understand?”

In order to prevent Liu Tao from having those thoughts, I made my words sound even harsher.

“So you were really such a person from the beginning. I was so miserable to have been fooled by you all these years!”

Liu Tao said disappointedly.

“I didn’t expect to be exposed like this. Otherwise, I would have kept the act up for a while longer.”

Liu Tao sneered when he heard this. I knew that he no longer had any fantasies about me. He wouldn’t like me anymore.

“Shen Ling, I’m so stupid. I actually believed the words of an attendant’s daughter. Looks like you people are born to lie to men.”

Liu Tao was no longer angry or sad. Instead, he had become a cold person.

“That’s right. I’m an attendant’s daughter. It’s my instinct to seduce a man with good qualities like you. Now that I think you’re useless, it’s only natural for me to abandon you.”

Iresisted the urge to cry. Liu Tao knew my background better than anyone else. He had never looked down on my background, nor had he ever mentioned it in front of me.

I would inevitably be sad for him to say these words this time. However, I was the one who asked for this. I couldn’t blame him.

“Heh heh.” Liu Tao sneered and stopped talking. He took off his clothes and crawled into the blanket to sleep.

Tentered the washroom and sat on the toilet, crying silently.

After a long time, I stopped crying and pretended to have just gone to the washroom to flush the toilet before heading out.

The room was dark. I knew that Liu Tao’s attitude towards me had already changed. In the past, no matter what, he would always keep the lights on and wait for me to return to bed.

I called out softly, “Brother Liu Tao.”

There was no response. I knew that Liu Tao was already asleep. After he fell asleep, even thunder couldn’t wake him up.

I quietly got into bed and confirmed again that Liu Tao was indeed asleep.

I secretly placed my arm on Liu Tao’s body. I wanted to sleep cuddling him one last time.

However, just as I reached over, Liu Tao grabbed my hand..
