Shen Rou’s expression changed.

Although Gong Zeli’s words were spoken intermittently, she fully understood what he meant.

She knew that he liked her for a long time.

But she acted like she didn’t know.

And because of this, he had never confessed to her.

Whenever he tried to give her hints, she always feigned ignorance.

The Gong and Shen families were well-matched in terms of social status.

Gong Zeli’s qualifications were considered top-notch in the upper social class.

His only flaw was that he was unable to control his temper.

He had gotten better after receiving treatment for many years.

As long as he controlled his feelings, his temper could be well maintained.

So, Gong Zeli was a very good catch considering all his qualifications.

Most importantly, he really loved her.

Even after so many years.

If she married him, she would definitely lead a blissful life.

She knew that very well.

But the person she wanted to marry was Mo Yesi, not Gong Zeli.

She didn’t ask him to treat her well.

Hence, she didn’t want Gong Zeli to confess to her because she couldn’t accept him and didn’t want their friendship to become awkward.

All these years, she feigned ignorance at Gong Zeli’s advances.

She couldn’t accept him, but she also couldn’t refuse his kindness.

He was extremely kind to her.

It was a kindness that no woman could reject.

She thought that it would be nice to maintain their relationship this way.

She would treat him as an elder brother who doted on her.

But now, she’d changed her mind.

Gong Zeli seemed to want to define their relationship.

He seemed as if he wanted to…. confess to her.

Previously, she would have immediately changed the topic and would not let him have the chance to continue.

But this time…

If she continued feigning ignorance, she was unsure if Gong Zeli would ever confess to her in the future.

She never had to worry about this.

She had full confidence that he would never fall in love with another woman.

But now, there was Qiao Mianmian.

She felt an unprecedented fear.

If she didn’t grab this chance, Gong Zeli… might leave her.

“Rourou.” Gong Zeli was silent for a while. He sounded tired as he said, “Other than Ah Si, is there anyone else that you care about? You mind if I treat others well, but what about you?

“Every time you tell me how much you like Ah Si and how important he is to you. Do you think I like to hear that? Or do you really think I treat you as a younger sister, so you think it’s fine to tell me all of that?

“Shen Rou, after all these years, don’t you have any feelings for me?”

“Ze Li, you…”

“10 years ago, I used to treat you as a younger sister. I have liked you for so many years. Did you really not know?”

It was too late to take these words back.

There was no need to hide anymore.

“Shen Rou, I like you,” Gong Zeli said calmly. He said each word clearly. “I know you’re in love with Ah Si, so I didn’t express my feelings all these years. I know you’re aware as well, but you never gave me the chance to confess.”
