Chapter 724: Chapter 724: False Confession
“Oh, really?”
Hearing Li Jingming’s heartfelt confession, Zhong Nianyao looked indifferent, “So you regret it now, don’t you?”
“That’s right.” Li Jingming nodded, his face a mix of remorse and affection, “Nianyao, if God gave another chance, I would never let you down. Only now do I realize that the one who was good to has always been by my side, yet I failed to cherish them.”
To Zhong Nianyao, such a heartfelt confession was absurd. When she looked inward, her expression grew more serious, “Have you been possessed by a ghost or sothing?”
How else could he spout such nauseating words?
No matter if it was in the past, the present, or even the future, she could never like soone like Li Jingming. It could even be said that now, as Li Jingming stood here confessing and repenting to her, she felt absolutely nothing. If there were any feeling, it would be disgust.
Zhong Nianyao’s reaction was clearly not sothing Li Jingming had anticipated. He quickly continued, “Nianyao, I am sincere in what I say, believe .”
Zhong Nianyao frowned, taking a deep look at Li Jingming, nodded, and then responded, “Whether or not what you’re saying is sincere, what does that have to do with ?”
“Nianyao,” Li Jingming looked hurt, “can’t you feel my sincerity at all?”
“No.” Zhong Nianyao shook her head directly, her expression turning cold, “Do you think your sincerity is important to ? As far as I’m concerned, it’s worthless.”
Li Jingming had not at all expected such a reaction from Zhong Nianyao. His expression darkened, and then as if struck by a sudden thought, he looked up at Zhong Nianyao with an expression of understanding.
Seeing the look on Li Jingming’s face, Zhong Nianyao knew he must be wildly speculating. Li Jingming’s next words confird her suspicions.
“Nianyao, I understand why you’re talking to like this. It must be because you’re angry with for ignoring you in the past!” Li Jingming spoke with confidence, promising her, “Don’t worry, I have truly realized my past mistakes. From now on, I’ll treat you well.”
“What? Wait, just wait—”
The more she listened, the more sothing felt off. Zhong Nianyao quickly interjected to stop Li Jingming’s next words, “Li Jingming, what on earth are you talking about? What do you an ‘from now on’?”
“Nianyao, I like you.” Li Jingming gazed at Zhong Nianyao affectionately, “After we broke up, I realized that the person I’ve always liked is you. Nianyao, let’s be together! I will treat you well in the future and make up for my past shortcomings.”
As if she had heard so great joke, mockery spread across Zhong Nianyao’s face, “Li Jingming, are you even listening to yourself? You like ? I don’t like you in the slightest. You could even say, I truly detest you.”
Even hearing such words from Zhong Nianyao didn’t make Li Jingming feel sad. He persisted, “Nianyao, I know you’re still holding a grudge about what happened before. From now on, you can vent on however you want. But please, give a chance to make ands. I swear, I will treat you very well.”
“Hahaha—” Zhong Nianyao finally burst out laughing, looking at Li Jingming as if staring at a clown, “Li Jingming, there’s a very true saying, ‘It’s important to know oneself.'”
“What makes you think I would like you? You should know by now! I’m engaged, to Third Young Master Lu. He has power and looks, and he’s gentle and considerate towards . Why don’t you take a good look in the mirror and see for yourself? How do you match up to him?”
“With such a paragon before , what makes you think I could be interested in you?”
Zhong Nianyao’s words, word by word, were like a knife, piercing straight into Li Jingming’s heart. His face turned a bit pale, but he still refused to give up, “Nianyao, you must be angry with , right? Because I made you sad in the past, so now you’re getting back at . These things you’re saying, they can’t be true, can they?”
“What I said is all true.” Zhong Nianyao watched Li Jingming, her smile laced with malice, “Li Jingming, take a good look at yourself right now, do you think there’s anything about you that I could possibly like?”
Li Jingming was deeply hurt, his lips trembling slightly as he tried to speak, but it was as if sothing had stuck in his throat, rendering him speechless.
As she observed the devastated Li Jingming, Zhong Nianyao didn’t feel the slightest bit of sympathy, continuing to speak, “Li Jingming, you don’t really like , do you? The reason you’re confessing and apologizing here today must also have so shaful motive, right?”
At this, the previously dejected Li Jingming instantly jolted as if electrocuted and beca animated, his face showing a touch of nervousness, “Nianyao, what are you talking about? You can reject , but don’t misunderstand , it’s because I truly like you that I’m confessing.”
“Is that so?” Zhong Nianyao looked at Li Jingming with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, “So you’ve been following us just to apologize and confess? There’s really no other motive? Are you that innocent?”
“What following? Don’t go throwing around accusations.” Li Jingming hastened to explain, “I was just passing by after work and happened to see you, so I thought I’d clear up past misunderstandings.”
“There are no misunderstandings,” Zhong Nianyao looked at Li Jingming, stating, “Everything between us was never a misunderstanding. Li Jingming, I’m curious, you used to look down on , so why are you confessing now all of a sudden?”
Li Jingming quickly spoke up, “I was blinded by Shen Yixue in the past.”
“Oh, so you’re sincere?” Zhong Nianyao raised her eyebrows suddenly and questioned, “Are you truly after my money, or for my social status?”
At these words, Li Jingming panicked internally, yet tried to maintain composure on the surface, “What are you talking about? You might not like , but you can’t insult my love for you.”
“Don’t defile the word ‘love’.” Zhong Nianyao scoffed, “Li Jingming, life isn’t going so well for you nowadays, is it? So today, after seeing , you just had to co up and suck up? How had I never noticed before that you are such a shaless person!”
