Chapter 77: Chapter 77: I Used to Like You Chapter 77: Chapter 77: I Used to Like You Xinan looked up at Cheng Yi, her eyes brimming with affection that intoxicating, she smiled softly at him, her gaze as gentle as water.
Hearing Xinan’s words, Cheng Yi couldn’t help but tremble at heart, and he also felt a surge of panic and shock coming from his feet, making him at a loss.
He had known the answer to this question for a long ti, because he could feel her affection for him over the past few months, but he had always thought Xinan had only started liking him after they got married!
Cheng Yi slowly opened his mouth, almost squeezing the words out from his throat, “You… weren’t you in love with Han Jibai before?”
“No, I have never liked Brother Jibai, I have always liked you!” Xinan exclaid.
“You… have always liked ?” he repeated, as if to confirm sothing.
Seeing Cheng Yi’s incredulous expression, Xinan suddenly realized sothing, “I understand now; you rejected my confession before because you thought I liked Brother Jibai, right?”
Cheng Yi’s face showed a hint of bitterness, but he didn’t answer.
Xinan stepped closer to Cheng Yi and covered his hand with her chest, “I don’t know why you misunderstood my feelings for Brother Jibai, but all along, here… it has always been you, it has never changed.”
Cheng Yi’s hand began to tremble slightly, and amazent flashed in his eyes but was quickly drowned by sadness.
It was a very uncomfortable feeling!
“At that ti, I thought your confession was due to the arrangent of our families,” he took a deep breath and said, “And I also saw you kissing Han Jibai.”
Frowning, Xinan shook her head and denied it, “You must be mistaken, Brother Jibai and I don’t like each other, how could we kiss? Besides, he was already with Sister Shasha back then!”
“So… you have always liked ?” Cheng Yi smiled faintly, as if talking to himself.
Xinan nodded vigorously, “Yes.”
Cheng Yi felt his heartbeat getting faster and faster, but his body was gradually stiffening. He stared motionlessly at Xinan, his eyes fixed on her clear and bright eyes.
In his younger days, he had dread about these eyes countless tis, and now, these eyes were full of him.
Cheng Yi suddenly beca fearful, even wanting to escape this place.
Xinan looked at Cheng Yi’s handso face, her gaze growing gentler, “Brother Yi, in the past, you were indeed good to , but I didn’t like you because you were good to , nor because of the power behind you when I confessed to you.”
“As young people, we ate at street-side stalls together, listened to concerts together, and blew evening breezes by the river together. Later, I married you as I wished, but my desires go beyond this; we still have a lot of ti, and I want to see other sceneries with you. Although all these things are very ordinary, they beco precious because it is you.”
Xinan t Cheng Yi’s deep eyes, “So Brother Yi, are you willing to walk the rest of the road with ?”
“Will you join at a banquet that belongs to us?”
“Do you… like ?”
This was the second ti Xinan had asked this question today.
The whole restaurant was unusually quiet at this mont, even Jiang Yurou and Tan Bo, hiding in the dark, couldn’t help holding their breath.
Cheng Yi pursed his lips slightly; he knew that after Xinan said so much, it was his turn to speak.
When he realized that Xinan liked him, his emotions rollercoastered, the excitent, joy, and disorientation made Cheng Yi feel like a fool.
Moreover, he had already prepared himself to accept Xinan…
But he hadn’t expected what happened to him later.
He really, really wanted to express his feelings to Xinan, but it would be too selfish.
He couldn’t delay Xinan; it is better to have a short pain than a long one. He just needed to endure this period.
After a long while, Cheng Yi finally raised his eyes slowly to et Xinan’s bright ones, “Nannan…”
Xinan knew that at this mont, the answer she had been waiting for was finally about to be revealed. Her heart began to get nervous, her breathing beca fast, and her fingers clung tightly to the edge of her clothes, her eyes filled with excitent.
Cheng Yi sighed, not pausing this ti, giving Xinan the answer she had always wanted, “Nannan, thank you for always liking . Knowing that my place in your heart has always been occupied by , I was really happy and excited. I admit, I liked you before.”
A bad premonition spread in Xinan’s heart, her mood instantly plumted, and her face turned very pale.
Cheng Yi, as if not noticing the change in Xinan’s complexion, continued on his own, “But I have waited too long for this mont, I don’t like you anymore…”
God knows how hard it was for Cheng Yi to say these words; saying this felt like scraping flesh from his own body, unbearably painful, but he had to act as if nothing was wrong.
How could he complain that the waiting ti was long? How could he… not like Xinan anymore? She was his beloved!
“It’s impossible; you must be lying, you must be lying, right?” Xinan retorted through her tears.
Cheng Yi looked at Xinan indifferently; his heart had numbed, “Nannan, you need to learn to accept reality.”
“You must be deceiving ! If you didn’t like , why would you give this ring, and why would you still buy such an expensive necklace just a few days ago?” Xinan turned her hand over and stretched it to Cheng Yi’s face, then pointed to the dazzling necklace on her neck.
“That diamond ring was bought a few days after we got married when I indeed liked you very much, but I don’t know from what point on, my feelings for you diminished until eventually, I lost all interest,” Cheng Yi’s gaze turned to the necklace on Xinan’s neck, and after a mont, he spoke, “As for this necklace, maybe I bought it feeling guilty towards you, after all, marrying a man who doesn’t love you is quite sad.”
Hearing Cheng Yi’s words, Xinan’s entire body trembled; she had never imagined Chengyi could be so cold.
But she still didn’t quite believe his excuses; Xinan wiped the tears from her face, looking straight into Cheng Yi’s eyes, “Since you no longer like , then why do you continue to stay with and not divorce ?”
Cheng Yi smiled lightly, “Having such a beautiful vase beside … is quite nice.”
At this mont, Xinan could no longer hold back, and tears fell like beads off a broken string, plip-plopping onto the back of her hand.
