Pei Jingchuan's eyes were filled with love. Perhaps worried that Jiang Yuzhu might reject him, he gently took her hand.
The silent treatment they'd been giving each other these past days left Pei Jingchuan with an oppressive feeling in his chest. For the first time, he clearly understood that he did not want to part with Jiang Yuzhu.
He had deceived her before, but now he genuinely wanted to ask for Jiang Yuzhu's forgiveness. Perhaps, unbeknownst to him, his feelings for Yuzhu had already changed during their time together.
However, this sudden confession left Jiang Yuzhu in disbelief. As Pei Jingchuan tightened his grip on her hand, she sharply stepped back, causing her ankle to ache due to the abrupt movement.
But Jiang Yuzhu didn't care about that. She just stared blankly at the man in front of her.
She had never imagined that Pei Jingchuan, always so proud, would ever apologize. The unexpected confession made her heart race.
