He’s her big-hearted and unreserved expression of feelings towards Song Yunhua, and his inexplicable bias angered her. Recalling Song Lian’s humiliating words, she felt increasingly uncomfortable, and in her emotional urgency, blurted out: “I knew it all along, from beginning to end, I was just being delusional. In terms of appearance, talent, and social status, I’m nowhere near Song Yunhua. What right do I have to ask you to give up a gold ingot for a piece of worthless copper? I’m stupid, I’m cheap, I’m throwing myself at you…”
“Xiao E!” Gu Yunzhi shouted, both shocked and angry, “What are you talking about?”
“Isn’t it true?” Chu E shouted back, “You protect her everywhere, favor her everywhere. Have you ever considered my feelings? How can you bear to let me suffer such humiliation…”
Before she could finish, Gu Yunzhi blocked her mouth with his lips. This sudden kiss made her eyes widen. She tried to struggle, but he embraced her and kissed her deeply, her voice disappearing into the kiss.
After a long time, he finally let her go. “I love you!” he said.
She collapsed in his arms, her face turning red from lack of oxygen. After finally breathing fresh air and hearing Gu Yunzhi’s passionate declaration of love, she was stunned.
Her tears slowly flowed down, “Yunzhi, do you know? When I heard that story, my heart was in such pain!”
There were two voices battling inside me. One said: I don’t want to see that man again! If his eight-year relationship with his wife turns into familial love, would it become the same for us? The other voice said: Don’t overthink it, as long as he loves you, as long as he can give you warmth! Love itself is not wrong, love is love, no need to dwell on it too much! She raised her tear-stained face, “Yunzhi, I ultimately listened to the second voice because I love you, I want to be with you, even if the path ahead is completely dark…”
Gu Yunzhi was deeply shocked. He never imagined that Chu E’s heart was so conflicted, that her love for him ran so deep!
“Xiao E! I know, actually, you harbor resentment in your heart. You resent me for not letting go of Yunhua, and for involving you!” He took a deep breath.
