If you don't want to get married so early, it's not that I have to be in such a rush. I'm only asking you because I'm afraid that you don't like me, but I'm just holding you back by occupying your side..."
Zhu Qinghao couldn't understand how she could give people such a misconception.
Immediately afterwards, Sheng Yi's clear voice rang out again:
"Because I know that my feelings for you before were all one-sided, and I also know that the fiancé you didn't reject was someone else."
Since we reunited here, it seems like I've always been the one actively trying to get closer to you, while you haven't seemed to reciprocate much.
Zhu Qinghao wanted to explain something, but was stopped.
"I understand, I understand everything, no need to explain."
Your family arranged your marriage when you were young, so it's perfectly normal for you to feel that Liu Yansong is the person you'll spend your life with.
"Once you get to the countryside, you'll be busy taking care of yourself and your family. You won't have time to think about anything else, especially romance."
So I never thought of blaming you for these things, and you don't need to explain to me, I understand, really.
"I'm afraid, simply because I'm afraid I'm not capable enough to make you like me and willingly marry me."
Okay, actually, I can be really greedy sometimes. I hope you marry me happily, not like you did with Liu Yansong, where you just married him as if it were a task to be completed..."
In one breath, Sheng Yi poured out all his thoughts. After he finished speaking, he sat there with his head down, unaware that Zhu Qinghao's eyes, though she tried hard to restrain herself, were still red.
After calming herself down, Zhu Qinghao smiled, walked over, hugged the person opposite her, and then sat down on his lap.
After putting her arms around his neck, she stared intently at him:
"No, Sheng Yi, I think you are different."
“I’m willing to marry you, not to complete a task, but because I really want to.”
Sheng Yi noticed the seriousness in Zhu Qinghao's eyes, which made his throat tighten and he swallow hard, but he found himself unable to say anything.
Zhu Qinghao smiled and continued.
"I have never disliked you. In fact, when we first met, I didn't even remember who you were, but I thought you were very good-looking."
As we spent more and more time together, my feelings for you gradually changed, but I probably didn't realize it. It was Tian Tian who reminded me of these things most of the time.
As Zhu Qinghao recalled, she continued her story:
"Later, when you told me you liked me, I was excited, but thinking about the Zhu family's current situation, I felt I shouldn't be thinking about these things."
It made me feel guilty, so I restrained myself and didn't respond to you directly. I didn't expect you to just ask me to give you a chance to pursue me. You have no idea how happy I was at that moment..."
Recalling the past, Zhu Qinghao's face flushed slightly, and her expression was sweet, making her quite convincing. Naturally, Sheng Yi wouldn't doubt her.
"Perhaps it's because my feelings are rather reserved and subtle. I've never actively told you I like you, nor have I directly responded to your feelings of liking me, which makes you feel insecure. This is my fault..."
Sheng Yi didn't want to see her blame herself, so he immediately interrupted:
"Okay, okay, stop talking. You're perfect, everything about you is what I love."
"It's my own fault for not asking clearly before, and for overthinking things. If I had a mouth, these misunderstandings wouldn't have happened. Luckily, I asked now, it's not too late."
Zhu Qinghao was held in his arms and nodded while leaning against him.
"Yes, it's not too late."
"From now on, we must ask any questions promptly to avoid further misunderstandings, okay?"
"Okay, sure."
