"But you don't like it."
Cheng Zheng said in a half-joking manner and propped his forehead with a hand as if he was laughing. His tone sounded as if he was talking to a friend with sincerity.
"Xiang Wan, you didn't know that your initial rejection was a huge blow to me… My self-esteem, self-confidence, self-evaluation all collapsed at that moment… There was even a period where I developed the idea that I must get you from Bai Muchuan's side at all costs. That time, I felt that if I didn't have you beside me, my life would be incomplete and dark. This is probably how I reacted in response to jealousy and my wounded pride. I felt like I'd lost control."
Oh!
He actually analyzed himself to such an extent.
"Well… then I have to apologize to you," smiled Xiang Wan. "At that time, I was not the same as I am now."
"Indeed." Cheng Zheng nodded his head. "If the you back then is the you right now, I wouldn't have hesitated."
