Addicted to My Cutie and Sweetie

Chapter 666: Ji Weitian, say you like me!

Speaking of the past, Ji Weitian’s expression turned sour.

The Ji Family, to her, consisted of nothing but a never-met, deceased mother and a myriad of scars.

From the moment Ji Mofeng found her, he had a purpose for doing so.

The Ji Family needed a marriage alliance, and Su Sumei, unwilling to sacrifice her own daughter, thought of her, the cheap Miss Ji.

After all, her mother was dead, and no one in the Ji Family would feel sorry for her.

The appearance of the Ji Family directly affected her life with her foster parents.

Her foster parents were kind people, easy targets for bullying, and the Ji Family took full advantage, pushing their limits over and over again.

To spare her foster parents any discomfort, Ji Weitian had no choice but to juggle both sides.

"Sometimes, I find it exhausting. Every member of the Ji Family disgusts me, but there’s nothing I can do... Fortunately, I still have Yaoyao..."

Thinking of Little Glutinous Rice Dumpling brought a softness to her cold eyes, and a smile creeped onto her lips.

"Do you know? Yaoyao might look like me, but she has the same temper as you. From a very young age, she was like a little housekeeper, always nagging behind me like a tiny adult."

As she spoke, she suddenly lifted her head and looked at Qin Nanyu, who was asleep, gently tracing his brows with her hand, whispering softly.

"I used to hate you, but then, watching Yaoyao grow up day by day, the hate in my heart was gradually smoothed out by her... Thank you for giving me such an adorable daughter..."

If she had to endure all that pain in exchange for her precious daughter, then all the past torment would no longer matter.

Besides, she now knew that he didn’t do it on purpose.

Ji Weitian’s eyes flickered as she stood up by the bed, staring intently at the person before her, enunciating every word.

"Qin Nanyu, I forgive you for what happened five years ago."

Her words were met with no response.

She didn’t need his response.

She bent down to tuck him in properly, planning to go to the next room to rest, but the second she pulled the blanket up to his chest, she caught his opened dark eyes.

His deep gaze was like the world’s deepest pool.

A single glance could ensnare the soul, trapping one within.

Ji Weitian froze, her body stiff.

Unsure of when he had woken or how much of what she had just said he may have heard, she moved her lips, trying to explain something, but not a word came out.

Because Qin Nanyu had lifted his head...

The silent night was occasionally punctuated by the sound of raindrops falling outside.

Reason told Ji Weitian that his recent high fever might have damaged his brain, and he wasn’t in his right mind.

She should push him away quickly to avoid being taken advantage of.

But she didn’t know if it was because she had just seen his vulnerable state or because of his words, "Ji Weitian, don’t leave me alone."

Or perhaps, it was because for the first time, she had the courage to voice the words hidden deep in her heart for many years.

In the end, she didn’t push him away.

The sound of the rain outside grew louder and then softer, waxing and waning throughout the night.

Until the sky began to lighten, everything finally quieted down.

The rain stopped, and the first light of dawn shone through the window.

But the people in the room had just fallen asleep.

"Ji Weitian, say you like me."

"I like you."

A simple and beautiful exchange, as if in a dream.
