Chapter 613: Chapter 613: Rong Yan Confessed
The pain in my heart, akin to sickness, was instantly cured by the “medicine.”
“I’ve been wondering why I felt I must go out and find you tonight? Tomorrow I have a lot of work scheduled, and if I went to find you, I might not even get to sleep until dawn. Besides, even if I took a cab to Li Group, there’s a very good chance you wouldn’t be there. It would be a wasted trip. The kind where I had left Duidui alone at home for nothing. But if I didn’t go to find you, I’d be worried about you, and there would be this nagging discomfort in my heart. Do you know why I feel this way?” Rong Yan lifted her head, her clear eyes looking up at him as if they contained dazzling stars.
…But if I didn’t go to find you, I’d be worried about you, and there would be this nagging discomfort in my heart. Do you know why I feel this way?
The distinguished man’s voice was husky, “Why?”
Rong Yan suddenly smiled, like a breeze passing by, and in the second he was distracted, she managed to break free from his restraint, sat up, hooked her arms around his neck, and said softly, “I think it’s because I like you.”
—I think it’s because I like you!
My heart felt as though it had been struck and uncontrollably jumped.
Li Shengxiao stared emotionlessly at the little woman before him, well aware that there was a high probability she had said those words just to divert his attention.
But still, my heart was uncontrollably held by her.
“I’m being serious, I’ve realized that I like you.”
They had been in a hidden marriage before, and she had compromised just for Little Baby. Later, when she initiated dating, it was merely because she had developed a crush on him.
But this time was different. She was a person who realized things late, but she had discovered that her feelings for him were not just a crush but that she had truly started to like him.
Rong Yan didn’t even know when she had started liking this man.
Maybe it was when he declared in front of everyone that he was her boyfriend, maybe when he helped her deal with scumbags and mean girls, maybe during his unspeakable fatherly love for Little Baby, or maybe when he was continuously accommodating her…
She had never thought about it in that way before until today when Li Shengxiao gave her the silent treatment, and there was this inexplicable tug at her heart; that’s when she realized her changing feelings.
But liking someone meant that you acknowledged it once you did.
“Li Shengxiao, what should I do, I’ve fallen for you,” Rong Yan felt a bit of sweetness in her heart but also a sense of uncertainty and bitterness about the future.
She was very aware of this man’s identity, and, of course, the gap between them.
So from the start, she had not considered him as a future partner option, even if their hidden marriage was for Little Baby, and they had made a three-year agreement in advance.
Now, just over half a year into the three-year agreement, she had gone back on her original resolution and fallen for this man.
Rong Yan herself was uncertain about this newly kindled emotion. She wasn’t a timid person, but she didn’t want to fall flat on her face in love again.
One Shi Mufeng was already enough.
After all, back then she was naive and immature. Although she and Shi Mufeng were officially dating, Shi Mufeng had already secretly become entangled with Rong Weiwei.
Their relationship was more just lip service.
When they eventually broke up, it wasn’t too heart-wrenching.
But after all, it was still a failed relationship.
Now it’s different. She wasn’t as foolish and naive as before, and she very clearly understood what getting involved in a relationship entailed.
