âYeah, Xia Qingwei was lucky to meet Wang Juhuai, or else she would be miserable.â
âYeah, that means that our boss is still very dependable.â
No matter what these employees said.
In the office, Jiang Huaizhou did not want to let go of Dong Yujieâs hand. Worried, he asked, âYujie, now that youâre back, you donât have to leave, right?â
âIâm not leaving,â said Dong Yujie, âI just found out that Dad and Mom divorced when I came back.â
Jiang Huaizhou said anxiously, âWhen Mom brought this up to me, I didnât oppose it, I even supported it.â
âItâs selfish of me to make Dad and Mom go through such misfortune when theyâre already at this age, but I want to be selfish this time,â said Jiang Huaizhou, âBecause I know that if I do this, things will get better for both of us.â
Dong Yujie was grateful to her parents in her heart.
How could she blame Jiang Huaizhou?
After saying this, Dong Yujie was going to get even with him.
âWhy did you say that youâre an only son, you didnât even mention me.â said Dong Yujie, âDid you forget about your younger sister?â
âYouâre not my younger sister,â Jiang Huaizhou smiled after saying this.
âAlthough everyone knows that Iâm an only son, I still mentioned you,â Jiang Huaizhou smiled and said.
Seeing that Dong Yujie looked over, Jiang Huaizhou smiled and explained, âI told the others that I have a girlfriend but sheâs out of town and would return after a year.â
Dong Yujie also realized that Jiang Huaizhou told Qu Mengyu the same thing just now.
âYouâŚ.â Dong Yujie tried to pull her hand away but failed.
It seemed like Jiang Huaizhou would not let go without getting a definite answer from her.
Dong Yujie took a deep breath. Her face was starting to get pale. âYou know about my past, right?â
Jiang Huaizhou tightened his grip and said, âI know.â
He didnât say what it was because he was afraid that Dong Yujie would not be comfortable.
The reason she went away for a year was to throw her past away completely.
Jiang Huaizhou was afraid that if he brought it up, it would hurt Dong Yujie, causing her to hide away again.
âBut I have never minded,â said Jiang Huaizhou, âThatâs just a short period of your past. If it was someone else who was in different situations from you, who hasnât had a few relationships before?â
âOthers donât even mind their girlfriendsâ past relationships, then why should I mind yours?â said Jiang Huaizhou.
Furthermore, who did Dong Yujie do all that for?
It was all because of him!
If he disliked her because of this, then what was he?
But he did not dare to say that.
He was afraid that if he said it, Dong Yujie would misunderstand and think that he did it as he owed her a favor.
Jiang Huaizhou thought about it carefully.
But if he did not say, it did not mean that Dong Yujie would not ask.
Dong Yujie was suspicious. âTo be honest, do you not even feel a little bit guilty because of what I did for you, so you persist and want to be together with me.â
âYou say that you like me but in reality, itâs because of guilt and gratitude, thatâs why you want to take care of me. Youâre scared that I wonât accept you if thatâs the case, thatâs why youâre telling me that you like me,â Dong Yujie fidgeted as she looked at Jiang Huaizhou.
She liked Jiang Huaizhou, and she was sure that Jiang Huaizhou liked her.
However, she was afraid that there was a thorn in their feelings.
At first, the thorn in their feelings was not obvious, and they could tolerate that slight pain.
But after a long time, it would hurt more and would be unbearable.
It would be a matter of time before conflicts arose.
And she was afraid of this.
Jiang Huaizhou liked her but at the same time, he felt guilt and gratitude.
This kind of feeling contained too many uncertain factors.
Jiang Huaizhou put on a serious expression and said, âI wonât make an irresponsible decision like this just because of guilt and gratitude.â
âYujie, I like you. Iâve liked you since we were young. I just couldnât say it back then, and could only bury my feelings deep in my heart. I couldnât ruin you. Besides, you were still young back then.â
âWhen I was still in school, I liked you. I was conflicted, knowing that I couldnât like you back then. So, even if someone pursued you, I had no right to stop him. However, I still didnât like others pursuing you.â
âI still couldnât control myself. When I found out there were boys who had feelings for you, I would stop them. Even after graduating, my friend liked you, and I was furious.â
âI could only keep these thoughts in my heart. I didnât dare to tell you, and I became even more certain that I shouldnât tell you after I got into trouble. After all, how could I let you be with someone who has a criminal record?â
âBut unexpectedly, youâre still so dumb and save me no matter what the consequences are.â Jiang Huaizhouâs eyes turned red. âYou said that I feel guilty and grateful to you. I admit that.â
âHowever, that emotions are different from what Iâm feeling for you. I am sure that I like you not because of gratitude or guilt. I am sure that I will not regret this decision in the future, saying that I mistook my guilt and gratitude as my feelings for you.â
âIf I just feel grateful and guilty towards you, I can still take care of you as an older brother. Even if I take care of you for your whole life as your older brother, that wonât be a problem, right?â said Jiang Huaizhou.
âI understand my own feelings. I know it so well that if I have even a little bit of uncertainty or hesitation in my feelings for you, I will choose not to tell you that I like you and hurt you.â
âLetâs not talk about other things. Youâre my savior. If I said I like you to return the favor, itâs not returning the favor, itâs returning your kindness with unkindness. There are many ways to return a favor. If I am uncertain about my own feelings, then I can take care of you as my younger sister. One day, I will surely know whether my feelings for you are enough to make me ignore those things completely.â
âIf youâre still suspicious about my feelings, Iâm telling you that I will just like you. Wonât I be just playing with your heart if I tell you that I like you when Iâm not sure about my feelings and hurt you?â
âIf I dare to tell you, thatâs because Iâm sure that I like you. I know that I wonât mind your past at all.â
âYujie, if you like me, can you give me a chance and accept me?â said Jiang Huaizhou earnestly.
Dong Yujie thought that what Jiang Huaizhou said was reasonable.
If it was purely out of gratitude and guilt, he could still take her as his younger sister, even if it was for a lifetime.
He did not need to say that he liked her.
He would also not risk confessing to her if he was unsure of his feelings for her
