“Fay, let me look after you and Van, will you?”
Zhuo Linye reached out and grabbed Qiao Yuanfei’s shoulders, gently wrenching her body to face him.
“……”
Qiao Yuanfei was completely frozen.
One second her mind was wondering if Fan Yu would be suspicious of the day’s events, and the next she heard Zhuo Lin Ye’s confession ……
Is this a confession?
The next thing you know, you’ve heard a confession.
He was kind to her, but he never overstepped his bounds.
Polite, respectful.
There was never the slightest offense, not only in behaviour but also in words.
He was kind to Van.
But Qiao Yuanfei always thought that it was because they were friends and he liked Fanfan a lot ……
But he today ……
Qiao Yuanfei unconsciously swatted away his arm and took a few steps backwards.
“I’m sorry, I’ve always thought of you as a friend, I wasn’t mentally prepared ……”
“Then start preparing now.”
Zhuo Lino’s eyes prickled slightly when he saw her detached gesture.
Pressing down the loss in his heart, he spoke.
“I won’t push you, I just want you to think about it, my words today are not a joke, they are a very serious proposal ……”
“Can’t we always be friends?”
Qiao Yuan Fei interrupted him and asked with some urgency.
“……” Zhuo Linye froze and lowered his eyes to look at her steadily.
Catching the panic and as if she was on the edge of her eyes, the corners of her mouth involuntarily curled into a bitter smile.
He hadn’t confessed, just because he was worried about this.
Because he had made his feelings known, he had made her wary and then distanced himself from him step by step to avoid suspicion.
In the end, there was someone else in her heart.
And it wasn’t him.
He should have known better, he just didn’t want to.
He wasn’t getting any younger and didn’t want to live his life in ambiguity.
It was rare to meet someone he liked, and even if there was only a one in a million chance, he wanted to try.
But her reaction had given him the answer.
“Is it because of Fan Yu?”
The stream of light under Zhuo Lino’s eyes turned lightly, and his voice had regained its calmness.
When Yu Yuehan came to him with Fan Yu’s photo and told him about the “connection” between Fan Yu and Qiao Yuanfei, he didn’t really want to believe it.
It wasn’t until he saw Fan Yu in his arms on the video that he saw Fan Fan.
The exact same clothes and temperament.
Even the curvature of the corners of his mouth when he smiled was so similar ……
The truth he had been unable to find out was as if it was right in front of him.
The truth is that when he arrived in China today, he saw Qiao Yuanfei’s “wedding news” as soon as he opened the webpage on his phone.
Although he knew in his heart that it was a fake.
But given Qiao Yuanfei’s temperament, no man could get close to her if she didn’t want to, not to mention being photographed by a journalist and having such pictures released.
She had no intention to clarify from the beginning to the end, but was only anxious to get Fanfan back from Fan Yu’s side.
What did that mean, did he need to ask?
“You haven’t accepted anyone for all these years because of Fan Yu, right, who is Fanfan’s real father?”
“……”
Qiao Yuan Fei’s face changed in a swish, looking up at Zhuo Lin Ye in dismay.
Just about to open his mouth to speak, the corner of his eye saw standing in the doorway, not knowing how long he had been standing and how much he had heard of Fan Yu.
A white suit, set off his figure exceptionally tall and handsome.
Against the light, his figure blended into the light, making it impossible to see the expression on his face at the moment.
Only vaguely, I can feel the hotness in his eyes ……
