Xue Ke's repeated words made him understand one fact: Ye Mei had truly fallen in love with him!
Because... he believed that Xue Ke would definitely not joke about such a thing!
Only —
He didn't understand...
He didn't understand how Ye Mei could have fallen in love with him!
In his view, apart from the time he had served in Dragon Tooth and, following orders, had saved Ye Mei and Ye Zhengrong, spending a few days with them, until the last time Ye Mei went to China to find him, all of their contact had been through the internet, and... it was not frequent.
Under such circumstances, how could Ye Mei have fallen in love with him?
A virtual romance??
"Mr. Chen, actually... there's no need for you to be surprised," Xue Ke said in a sighing tone, having seemingly noticed Chen Fan's confusion, "I am a woman too; I understand a woman's mind. For a woman, during her girlhood, she will always dream of Platonic love, of meeting her White Knight."
