Perhaps, it wasn't fair to He Teng, and it still fell short of what she was hoping for.
If in the beginning, she had fallen in love with He Teng with a tinge of regret and intent to atone, then now, He Zhilan's love for He Teng was pure without a trace of other emotions. Pure love, love for He Teng the man, and love for this man who hadn't fallen in love with her.
Once a person falls in love, isn't it natural to be greedy?
Love can't bear the slightest impurity.
She started hoping, that He Teng would look at her with the gaze of a lover, just like she did at him.
She didn't ask for much, just a little more of irresistible tenderness compared to now.
"Brother, you can't deny that when we got married, it was all the same to you whom you married. I was simply the wife assigned to you by dad since we were children. You married the status of a wife, not the person who is the wife," He Zhilan choked out. "At that time, you were not in love, and neither was I, right?"
