Qiao Ning's gaze flickered, then she tentatively asked, "Is it because you like me...?"
Chen Shuinan nodded seriously, "Yes!"
"... But, I really don't deserve your affection. Director Chen, you don't know about my past, you don't know how disgraceful I have been." Qiao Ning's eyes cast down in sadness, deciding to tell him the truth, because she truly didn't deserve his kindness anymore.
"Director Chen, I've been deceiving you. I, I had a child in the past, and it happened while I was in prison... Director Chen, so please, stop being nice to me!"
When she finished speaking, Qiao Ning bowed her head deeply, feeling too ashamed to meet his eyes.
The atmosphere turned solemn.
Just when Qiao Ning thought Chen Shuinan would be shocked, he calmly said, "Actually, I've known for a long time."
"What?!" Qiao Ning looked up in surprise, her face full of disbelief.
Chen Shuinan took a step forward, "I knew everything. Qiao Ning, is this the reason why you've been avoiding me?"
