"I'm really happy, even though I was confused during this period. You should also know that I didn't agree to your confession after you confessed, and we could never go back to the relationship we once had like siblings. But you still did something like confessing your love. You had already thought of the worst possible outcome."
"elder sister……"
Sheng Liuming's heart suddenly became nervous.
These words seemed to be rejecting Sheng Liuming.
He didn't want to listen any further, but after calling out the word "sister", he was speechless.
"You knew it, yet you still did it."
"I……"
Sheng Liuming clenched his hands tightly with nervousness, and the pale joints on his face caught Cui Zhiruo's eyes.
She moved closer, raised her hand, gently stroked his hair, and said, "So I know you've mustered up a lot of courage."
Sheng Liuming in front of him looked very tall, and the childish look on his face had faded. It seemed that his original figure could not be seen, but his nervous look was somewhat similar to the way they first met.
“…”
Sheng Liuming gritted his teeth and stared at Cui Zhiruo without blinking, fearing that she would really say no.
"As for me, I'm not that good either. At first, I just treated you like a younger brother, like my own brother. I protected you and took care of you. Even after you confessed your love to me, I still wanted to treat you like a younger brother like before."
"I don't want to be a younger brother. I don't want to be just your younger brother."
He said this angrily and took two steps back.
Cui Zhiruo took a deep breath and said calmly, "So after the report came out, I found that my heart seemed to have changed. I started to panic. I thought, if you really like someone else, what should I do?"
"elder sister……"
He looked at Cui Zhiruo in surprise.
To be honest, this sentence was more unexpected than rejection.
Sheng Liuming had already thought of the scenario of being rejected, but these words were unexpected.
I knew I would be rejected, but I still confessed my feelings.
"But I still choose to believe you."
"What do you mean, sister?"
Sheng Liuming asked in confusion.
I dare not understand.
I'm afraid I'm being too sentimental.
Overthinking it.
"Being a sibling and being in a relationship are completely different. Are you ready to be my boyfriend?"
"Um?"
I still couldn't believe my ears. Sheng Liuming's voice was full of doubt.
"I've already thought of the worst possible outcome. Do you still want to be my boyfriend?"
Cui Zhiruo asked again.
"Sister..." Sheng Liuming was sure that what he thought and heard was correct. He pulled Cui Zhiruo into his arms, buried his face in Cui Zhiruo's shoulder, smelled her fragrance, and said in a low voice: "I love you. We will be together forever and will never be separated."
"Um."
Cui Zhiruo responded.
Sheng Liuming felt like he was dreaming. Looking at Cui Zhiruo in front of him, he pinched his thigh. Only when the pain came did he realize that it was reality.
"Why are you looking at me?"
Cui Zhiruo blushed and asked uncomfortably at being seen.
"Sister, are you here today because you are worried about my situation?"
"I'm worried about you, but not completely. Your boss asked me to come here."
"What's the meaning?"
"When he met me, he first asked me if I believed you after reading the report. I said I believed you unconditionally, and then he explained to me what exactly happened. I understood that it was all for hype, and I knew nothing."
"My boss?"
Sheng Liuming asked half-doubtfully.
"Actually, what he meant was that he doesn't completely interfere with celebrities' relationships. When the rumors about you and me first came out, he was a little angry because he felt that as a twenty-year-old idol, you wouldn't let a relationship hinder your career." Sheng Liuming became noticeably nervous when Cui Zhiruo mentioned the previous rumors. "What's more, you really like me, making it impossible for him to clarify. So he planned this incident to achieve his own goals and test my sincerity. In fact, he's more worried that I've deceived you."
"How could my sister lie to me?" Sheng Liuming said, leaning on Cui Zhiruo's shoulder and asking, "When did he feel so good?"
"Although he's the boss and capitalists really can't empathize, he seems to treat you like his brother."
"Did I misunderstand him?"
"It's not entirely a misunderstanding. After all, he used you to hype this up without telling you. It's true, so you can be angry."
"Actually, I was also wrong."
really.
It is indeed wrong to ask reporters to report your scandal without telling anyone and to stab the company in the back.
But he had no choice.
"It's okay, let's just call it quits."
"Did he say anything else to you?"
Sheng Liuming asked.
"Anything else?"
"It's okay."
Sheng Liuming was a little afraid that his boss would tell Cui Zhiruo about the scandal he had orchestrated. It seemed that he felt relieved since his boss hadn't told Cui Zhiruo.
"Are you hiding something from me?"
"No."
"I don't know what to say about your boss. He threatened me when we first met. No! I should say he negotiated with me, wanting me to study abroad and force me to leave you. But he didn't consider that his investigative skills were not that good. I had already gone abroad to study before."
"Sister didn't agree, did she?"
Cui Zhiruo tutted her words twice, "The conditions he proposed are really not tempting."
"Hahaha...what if he makes an attractive offer?"
"How tempting is that?"
Cui Zhiruo asked back.
"He said he would give you 50 million or even 100 million?"
Cui Zhiruo frowned slightly upon hearing this. "Why don't I play the long game and try to catch a bigger fish? You're worth fifty million or even hundreds of millions. If I get you and want to be with you, wouldn't all that money be mine? In that case, how could I even care about his little money?"
"Sister, you'll never leave me, will you?"
"I thought the same thing when I was with my ex-boyfriend." Cui Zhiruo held Sheng Liuming's face with both hands and said seriously: "I can't guarantee that I will always be by your side, but I want to be with you now."
"Sister, me too. I like you the most."
"I like you, too."
This was the first time Cui Zhiruo said to Sheng Liuming that she liked him.
"Don't leave me, don't abandon me, don't abandon me, I will be obedient and I will always stay by your side."
"Well, it turns out that when it comes to love, you should go with your younger brother. He's the cutest."
"Sister too."
