Chapter 724: Hypocritical Confession
"Oh, really?"
Hearing Li Jingming's words that sounded like a deep confession of love, Zhong Nianyao looked indifferent, "You regret it now, don't you?"
"That's right." Li Jingming nodded, his face showing a mixture of regret and deep affection. "Nian Yao, if God gives me another chance, I will definitely not let you down. It wasn't until now that I realized that the people who treated me well were always by my side, but I just didn't cherish them."
Such a heartfelt confession was like seeing a ghost to Zhong Nianyao. When she looked inside, she became more serious and asked, "Are you possessed by a ghost?"
Otherwise, how could he say such disgusting words?
Whether in the past, present, or even the future, she would never like someone like Li Jingming. It could even be said that even now that Li Jingming was confessing his feelings to her, she felt nothing. If she did feel anything, it would probably be disdain.
Zhong Nianyao's reaction was obviously beyond Li Jingming's expectations. He looked at Zhong Nianyao and quickly continued, "Nianyao, what I said is sincere. Please believe me."
Zhong Nianyao frowned, looked at Li Jingming deeply, nodded, and then said, "Does it matter to me whether what you said is true or not?"
"Nian Yao," Li Jingming said with a hurt look on his face, "Don't you feel my sincerity?"
"No." Zhong Nianyao shook her head directly, her expression cold. "Do you think your sincerity is important? To me, it's worthless."
Li Jingming had never expected Zhong Nian Yao to react like this. His expression darkened, and then as if he had thought of something, he immediately looked up and looked at Zhong Nian Yao, his face full of understanding.
Looking at Li Jingming's expression, Zhong Nianyao knew that he might be imagining things. Li Jingming's next words also confirmed her guess.
"Nian Yao, I know that the reason you say this to me now must be because you are angry about my indifference to you in the past!" Li Jingming said confidently, "Don't worry, I really have realized my past mistakes. From now on, I will definitely treat you well."
"What? Wait, wait—"
The more she listened, the more she felt something was wrong. Zhong Nianyao quickly spoke up to stop Li Jingming from saying the next thing, "Li Jingming, what are you talking about? What do you mean by 'later'?"
"Nianyao, I like you." Li Jingming looked at Zhong Nianyao affectionately. "After breaking up with you, I realized that the person I liked all along was you. Nianyao, let's be together! I will definitely treat you well in the future and make up for what I owed you."
As if she had just heard a huge joke, Zhong Nianyao's face was full of sarcasm, "Li Jingming, do you want to listen carefully to what you are saying? You like me? I don't like you at all. Or rather, I really hate you."
Even after hearing Zhong Nianyao say this, Li Jingming didn't feel sad at all. He looked at Zhong Nianyao and still insisted, "Nianyao, I know you've been holding a grudge against me for what happened before. From now on, you can vent your anger on me however you want. But please give me a chance to make amends. I swear, I will treat you well."
"Hahahaha——" Zhong Nianyao finally couldn't help laughing out loud. When she looked at Li Jingming, it was as if she was looking at a clown. "Li Jingming, there's a saying that's very true. It's important for people to know themselves."
"Why do you think I like you? You should know! I'm already engaged. My fiancé is the Third Master of the Lu family. He has power and looks, and he's gentle and considerate to me. Why don't you take a good look in the mirror and take a good look at yourself. How can you compare to him?"
"With his outstanding performance, what makes you think I'm still interested in you?"
Every word Zhong Nianyao said was like a sharp knife, piercing Li Jingming's heart. His face turned pale, but he still refused to give up. "Nianyao, you must be angry with me, right? Because I made you so sad before, so now you are taking revenge on me. You are not sincere in what you said, are you?"
"I'm speaking from the heart." Zhong Nianyao looked at Li Jingming with a malicious smile on her face. "Li Jingming, take a good look at yourself now. What do you think is there about you that makes me like you?"
Li Jingming suffered a great blow. His lips trembled a little. He wanted to say something, but his throat seemed to be choked by something, making him unable to speak at all.
Looking at the shocked Li Jingming, Zhong Nianyao didn't feel a bit of sympathy and continued, "Li Jingming, you don't like me either, right? The reason you're here to apologize and confess your feelings today must be because of your own shameful reasons!"
As soon as these words came out, Li Jingming, who was originally very depressed, immediately felt like he had received an electric shock. He suddenly became alert and perked up, with a hint of nervousness in his expression. "Nian Yao, what are you talking about? You can reject me, but you can't misunderstand me. I really like you, so I confessed to you."
"Really?" Zhong Nianyao said to Li Jingming with a half-smile, "So you've been following us just to apologize and confess your feelings? You really have no other purpose? Are you that naive?"
"What do you mean by stalking? Don't say that." Li Jingming quickly explained, "I was just passing by after get off work and happened to see you, so I wanted to explain the misunderstanding with you."
"There's no misunderstanding," Zhong Nianyao looked at Li Jingming and said, "Everything between us is not a misunderstanding. Li Jingming, I'm curious. You used to look down on me, so why are you suddenly confessing your love now?"
Li Jingming quickly said, “I was deceived by Shen Yixue before.”
"Oh, so you're sincere?" Zhong Nianyao raised an eyebrow and suddenly asked, "Are you really doing this for my money, or for my status?"
Li Jingming panicked at this, but he tried to remain calm. "What are you talking about? You can dislike me, but you can't insult my love for you."
"Don't taint the word love." Zhong Nianyao sneered and said, "Li Jingming, life must be tough right now! So after seeing me today, you came up to me so eagerly and tried to curry favor? Why didn't I see before that you were such a shameless person!"
