To be honest, Yuchen found himself grappling with confusion over his feelings. The sudden flash of Elena's face when he kissed Yang Mei left him pondering, and the only conclusion he could draw was that he might love Elena.
Yuchen couldn't fathom any other reason for his reaction. If it were merely due to the commitment of their marriage contract, he believed that reason alone wouldn't be strong enough to resist Yang Mei's kiss, especially considering she was a woman he had once loved.
During his time in London, Yuchen had never fallen in love with another woman. While he had been close to a few, those relationships were more casual and not serious.
The sensation of falling in love felt foreign to him because it's been too long since he felt like that, casting doubt on whether his current feelings were indeed love.
Elena's eyes widened as she processed what Yuchen had just said. Did she really hear the words "I love you" from his lips?
