Sheng Yi's voice was clear and gentle, and he spoke at a steady pace, just like the tender look in his eyes when he looked at Zhu Qinghao.
Zhu Qinghao felt his extremely sincere gaze and felt her whole body, even her palms, sweating.
She knew most of what Sheng Yi said, except she didn't know what he meant by "having liked her for a long time".
It should be an exciting thing to know that the person you like also likes you.
But Zhu Qinghao's excitement only lasted a few minutes before it was overshadowed by other thoughts.
Looking at Sheng Yi's serious expression and the deep expectation in his eyes, she felt a little reluctant. After struggling for two minutes, she finally gritted her teeth and said it.
"Brother Sheng Yi, thank you, but I... I seem to be a bit cowardly, and I may not be able to give you the response you want in a short time."
I'm sorry, I was the one who asked the question, and now I'm the one who's running away from it.
Sheng Yi's heart skipped a beat, and the smile on his face began to falter.
However, he did not overlook the fact that Zhu Qinghao said "within a short period of time," rather than directly refusing.
So for him, this wasn't entirely bad news.
"Okay, okay, I can tell you don't dislike me, right?"
"Then, may I ask about your concerns? Is it because of your current family situation, or are there other reasons?"
Thinking of this other reason, he inexplicably thought of Liu Yansong from the past.
Even if he dislikes this person, it cannot change the fact that Zhu Qinghao and he have been engaged for more than ten years.
More than ten years, not more than a dozen months, and certainly not more than a dozen days.
Therefore, even if Zhu Qinghao really had feelings for Liu Yansong, he could understand it.
But for some reason, he was a little scared, afraid that Zhu Qinghao wouldn't accept him because of this man.
Fortunately, Zhu Qinghao cleared up his confusion in the next second.
As if knowing what he might be worried about, Zhu Qinghao didn't hesitate this time and nodded immediately.
"Yes, there's no other reason, but this one thing is what's holding me back. My family is still suffering here, and I can't help it..."
"Okay, it's alright, I understand, and I knew this would happen before I even said it, so I'm willing to wait."
"Have you forgotten? I only said I hoped you'd give me a chance to pursue you. I haven't even shown you my sincerity yet, how can I ask you to be with me so soon?"
Having confirmed that Zhu Qinghao's concerns were unrelated to anyone else, Sheng Yi was in a great mood, and his tone became lighthearted.
"Okay, okay, you shouldn't mind being around me, right? Would you like to get to know me better?"
Zhu Qinghao had been thinking about whether to tell him how she felt, but since Sheng Yi had already asked her that question, she didn't say anything more and just nodded.
Unexpectedly, even this simple thing excited the usually composed Sheng Yi.
"Okay, so you... agree?"
Sheng Yi's face was filled with obvious excitement, revealing his inner joy, which made Zhu Qinghao unable to help but laugh.
"Um."
