Chapter 171 No wonder he can do anything! It turns out he has this perseverance~

Cen Lian was speechless for a moment when she heard this. She did have her own reasons for doing this.

Given the situation at the time, she didn't know what Fu Linghe was thinking, nor did she know how he would talk to Yun Zheng. She could only be an anxious bystander.

We can't let her expose the secret that Fu Linghe has hidden for 8 years to Yun Zheng so bluntly!

After listening to this, Cen Li'an didn't answer Yun Zheng's question. Instead, he changed the subject with a hint of teasing in his tone, "Boss Fu's ability to secretly love someone is truly admirable. After all these years, you haven't even noticed."

Yun Zheng curled the corners of her lips slightly, thinking to herself: It's really hidden very deeply!

Cen Li'an on the other end of the phone carefully looked at the back of Yun Zheng in high school and couldn't help but say, "That's not Zheng Zheng. It's not hard to tell it's you in this photo. How come you can't even recognize yourself?"

Yun Zheng glanced at her speechlessly, "If I send you a picture of your back, can you recognize it as you?"

Cen Li'an choked at Yun Zheng's question, then laughed and said, "That's true. It's really hard to recognize someone from behind. However, this photo of yours has a strong atmosphere. You look like the heroine in a youth campus drama. Fu Linghe's vision is indeed extraordinary."

Yun Zheng didn't know how to respond for a moment after hearing this.

"Zheng Zheng, no wonder your Mr. Fu has achieved what he has today. He was able to keep his crush on you for eight years without you finding out. With his perseverance, he can succeed in anything! Guaranteed!" Cen Lian on the other end of the phone started chattering again.

Yun Zheng's fingertips unconsciously stroked the edge. The twilight outside the window meandered down the glass and condensed into broken gold on her long eyelashes.

The leaves outside the window rustled, but it couldn't suppress the increasingly unbalanced heartbeat in my chest.

"An An..., actually I'm quite scared." Yun Zheng's voice was very soft, but the words still successfully fell into Cen Lian'an's ears.

"Afraid?" Cen Lian asked back with some confusion.

"Yeah." She looked out the window consciously, a hint of sadness in her eyes, "I don't know how long this happiness can last."

Cen Lian'an knew Yun Zheng's concerns. She had been hurt too deeply by the Yun family and would subconsciously consider the uncertain factors in the future.

"Zheng Zheng, Fu Linghe is different from those members of the Yun family. His feelings for you may not be as fragile as you think." Cen Li'an could only comfort her from the perspective of an observer, "Being in a relationship for eight years without any opposite sex around, there are not many people in the world who can do that."

She is not Yun Zheng. Even though they grew up together, she has not experienced these things, so she cannot empathize with them at all.

"Perhaps you'll think that the Yun family's companionship of more than 20 years, and the relationship you've had with Zhou Yushen as childhood sweethearts for more than 20 years, can't stand the test of time. But Zhengzheng, time may not really mean anything, but you can try to trust Fu Linghe's character."

Yun Zheng's fingertips curled up gently, and the twilight outside the window condensed into a hazy halo in her eyes.

Cen Lian'an's words were like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.

"An An, I know he's different from them." Yun Zheng's voice was soft, as if she was afraid of disturbing something. "But I... know I'm not worthy of him."

Whether in terms of status or family background, Yun Zheng knew very well that she was not worthy of Fu Linghe.

"Zheng Zheng, as someone who has never been in a relationship, I may not have much say, but I feel that when it comes to love, there is no such thing as being worthy or not, only being willing or not."

"I believe Fu Linghe definitely thinks the same. He likes you, Yun Zheng, as an individual. It has nothing to do with your identity, status, or family background. He simply likes you as a person."

Yun Zheng's fingertips trembled slightly, because Fu Linghe had also told her the same words that Cen Lian'an said.

"But what if one day he finds out that I'm not what she imagined?"

Cen Li'an sighed, his tone filled with helplessness and heartache, "Zheng Zheng, you're always like this, habitually putting yourself in a very low position. But have you ever thought that Fu Linghe likes you just the way you are? Would he dislike you because of your little flaws? If he really cared so much about those external things, he would have given up long ago. Why wait so many years?"

Yun Zheng pursed her lips, feeling as if something had gently poked her heart, a sour and warm feeling.

The twilight outside the window has gradually faded, and a faint starlight appears on the horizon.

Suddenly, there was a slight sound of the fingerprint lock opening at the entrance.

Yun Zheng's hands trembled slightly uncontrollably. She raised her hands and hurriedly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. "An An, I won't tell you anymore."

After saying that, she hung up the phone.

As soon as she raised her eyes, she met Fu Linghe's eyes which were always smiling.

"Who are you talking to behind my back again?" He glanced at the phone lying upside down on Yun Zheng's knees, and his Adam's apple slid up and down as he unbuttoned his cuffs.

The crystal chandelier cast a small shadow on his brow, making his eyes, which were always covered with mist, even darker and more difficult to see.

When Fu Linghe got closer, he found that Yun Zheng's eyes were red, as if she had just cried.

He paused, his brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of worry flashed in his eyes.

He walked quickly to Yun Zheng and said in a low and gentle voice, "What's wrong? Who made you unhappy?"

Yun Zheng subconsciously lowered her head, avoiding his gaze, her fingers unconsciously twisted together, her voice so soft that it was almost inaudible, "No...nothing, I just chatted with An An for a few words."

Fu Linghe did not respond immediately, but reached out and gently lifted her chin, forcing her to look at him.

His eyes were deep and focused, as if he wanted to see into her heart.

"Are you unhappy because I didn't let you look at the resident singer just now?" Fu Linghe looked into Yun Zheng's eyes, with a hint of temptation in his flickering eyes.

This is the most reasonable explanation Fu Linghe could think of.

Yun Zheng was also stunned when she heard this. Before she could finish her words, she heard Fu Linghe speak again, "If you like, then go ahead and watch. I'm definitely not jealous. Otherwise, I'll take you to the bar later and order 10 or 8 male models for you."

"You...don't be sad, okay?" Fu Linghe's voice was low and gentle, as if he was coaxing a child, and even had a bit of "flattering" meaning.

Although he said "I'm not jealous", his slightly furrowed brows and slightly tense jawline betrayed his true emotions.
