Wu Youyou was actually quite happy, but she was also afraid and terrified. In her past life, she had been betrayed by the person she loved, leaving her completely broken. Now, facing Shi Zhan's confession, she felt like she wanted to run away.
Then she thought again, after all, she was the girlfriend of Asia's richest man. If anything happened in the future, she would still have a backer. Asia's richest man wouldn't covet her family background and wealth. After thinking it over, Wu Youyou was caught in a dilemma.
She looked at Shi Zhan with a flickering gaze, her expression complex. She seemed somewhat dizzy, as if she were drunk. She seemed to have made up her mind that even if she was hurt all over by Shi Zhan in the future, she actually wanted to try again.
Seeing Wu Youyou's hesitant expression, Shi Zhan felt a little worried.
"Youyou, don't you agree?"
Looking at Shi Zhan's expectant eyes, Wu Youyou couldn't bear to disappoint him.
Wu Youyou closed her eyes and told herself in her heart to try again, just this once. She didn't believe she was so unlucky. She thought that God had made her suffer so much in her past life, and that God should repay her in this life. Maybe Shi Zhan, such an excellent man, was the love that God had given her?
Wu Youyou felt that this must be true. When she opened her eyes again, Shi Zhan saw the brightness in her eyes.
Wu Youyou looked at Shi Zhan with shy eyes, her tone tinged with a hint of coquettishness.
"Sure~ I can be your girlfriend!"
After saying that, Wu Youyou was so shy and didn't know what to do. She could only bury her head and drink the porridge that Shi Zhan had bought.
Wu Youyou's agreement overjoyed Shi Zhan. She actually agreed! Shi Zhan was incredulous. He had thought he would need to work harder for a while, but he never expected it to go so smoothly.
Shi Zhan excitedly reached out and grasped Wu Youyou's slender little hand. Wu Youyou's body trembled, and a strange feeling spread from her hands to her internal organs, making her heart pound and her cheeks feel hot and burning.
Looking at the somewhat shy Wu Youyou, Shi Zhan's lips curved into a beautiful smile, and he said softly,
"Youyou, thank you for agreeing to be my girlfriend. From now on, I will love you well and protect you for the rest of your life!"
Wu Youyou was deeply moved. If she became the girlfriend of Asia's richest man, she would have a powerful backer if the Wu family were in trouble in the future. Thinking of this, Wu Youyou's smile widened, but then gradually disappeared. She realized that this was using Shi Zhan. She couldn't figure out whether her feelings for Shi Zhan were because he was Asia's richest man or simply because she liked him as a person.
Wu Youyou looked at Shi Zhan, feeling a pang of guilt. Not wanting to lie to him, she stared intently into his eyes and said earnestly,
"Shi Zhan, I know you really like me, but I can't tell if I really like you back. But I'm willing to be your girlfriend. I want to take this step and try. I've told you about everything I experienced in my past life. When I met you again in this life, I was initially attracted by your status as the future richest man in Asia, which is why I was willing to befriend you. I thought that if you were my friend, I would have a backer if the Wu family ran into trouble in the future, right? But later, I gradually came to see you as a friend. So, I must tell you the truth about being your girlfriend!"
A hint of disappointment flashed in Shi Zhan's eyes, but having learned about Wu Youyou's past and present life, he subconsciously believed that Wu Youyou wouldn't lie to him. On the other hand, Shi Zhan was actually quite gratified by Wu Youyou's answer just now, since Wu Youyou hadn't lied to him but had truthfully answered his feelings and thoughts.
After pondering for a while, Shi Zhan finally smiled with relief, his gaze softening as he looked at Wu Youyou.
"Youyou, thank you for telling me your true feelings. You've been through so much pain, so it might not be easy for you to fall in love with someone. But you're willing to give me a chance, and also give yourself a chance. From now on, we'll take care of each other, and no matter what happens, I'll be by your side!"
"Then it's settled. You're my boyfriend now! So you're not allowed to have your eyes on other girls, like that Wei Ziyao, after all, she was your wife in our past life!"
Shi Zhan frowned, then smiled.
"If I hadn't met you, she might have become my future wife, but I would never have fallen in love with her, not even if she were my wife!"
Wu Youyou suddenly thought of her past life. When Wei Ziyao married Shi Zhan, she did not get pregnant for several years. There were media reports that they had never consummated their marriage.
Judging from Shi Zhan's attitude now, the rumor must be true.
Wu Youyou is getting happier and happier the more she looks at Shi Zhan.
Around noon, Wu Maoyan surprisingly asked Wu Youyou to go to the hospital to see Han Shuzhen. Wu Youyou was curious. What was wrong with her older brother? Why did he suddenly want to see Han Shuzhen? He wasn't even familiar with Han Shuzhen!
Upon arriving at the hospital, Wu Youyou looked at Wu Maoyan with a somewhat strange expression.
"Brother, what's wrong with you? Han Shuzhen is my friend, why are you being so proactive?"
Wu Maoyan coughed awkwardly a few times, looked at Wu Youyou somewhat embarrassed, and tried to explain.
“Youyou, that’s not right. I’m your older brother. In Kyoto, I’m your parent. You said it yourself, Han Shuzhen was harmed like this because of you. As her parent, shouldn’t I come to see her and apologize? Otherwise, when she wakes up, she’ll say that our Wu family has no manners and no conscience?”
Wu Youyou was stunned by what Wu Maoyan said. When did her eldest brother's logic become so similar to her second brother's?
