The Newlywed's Sweet Honey: Husband, Pamper Me to the Bone!

Chapter 708: I’ve Realized I’ve Fallen for You

Mu Yiliang didn’t react, feeling a bit dazed.

"Didn’t we agree you’d leave tomorrow?"

Does he still want to continue staying at her place?

Gu Qingqian took a deep breath, seemingly trying to suppress his anger: "Mu Yiliang, what on earth are you thinking?"

Mu Yiliang was utterly bewildered.

"I’m confessing to you, didn’t you freaking get that?" Gu Qingqian growled.

His cheeks were a bit flushed, not sure if it was out of anger or for some other reason...

Mu Yiliang was stunned.

After a while, she cautiously said, "You’re... not joking?"

"I would never joke about something like this!" he said firmly, "I can accept Xiaoze, I’ll treat him as my own child. Although I have nothing now, I believe I can earn what I want on my own, if only you’d give me some time."

Mu Yiliang was silent.

"I am sincere." His voice suddenly softened, "Mu Yiliang, I’ve realized that I’ve fallen in love with you."

Mu Yiliang looked up at him, suddenly realizing he wasn’t joking.

She felt a little lost.

"It’s okay if you don’t accept me now." He laughed bitterly, "I know I was immature and arrogant before, but now I understand what is truly worth treasuring."

All those identities of being the Gu Family’s eldest son and the Young Master Fengye, they were lost so easily.

In fact, he already knew why Gu Benhong insisted on divorcing his mother back then.

Because Gu Benhong was involved in illegal business dealings behind the scenes, and when his assets encountered problems, he insisted on divorcing his mother to leave the real estate to her and him and also to avoid them incurring debt.

In order to not implicate them later, he even orchestrated this play.

After his mother died, Gu Benhong tearfully told him everything.

But so what, the mistake was already made, if it weren’t for Gu Benhong’s insatiable greed, none of this would have happened.

Gu Benhong kept murmuring that it was for him, just wanting to leave him more things, but why.

Just for him, can responsibility be completely shirked away?

Thinking of this, Gu Qingqian felt a slight ache in his nose, taking a deep breath, he said hoarsely, "I will prove it to you, if only you’d give me a chance."

Mu Yiliang shuddered lightly.

Give me a chance.

Such a familiar phrase.

Back then Yan Sijue also said the same to her, asking her to give him a chance, but the result was so heartbreakingly sad.

Mu Yiliang lightly shook her head, "Gu Qingqian, I’m sorry."

His hand slowly clenched tight, and the light in his eyes seemed to gradually extinguish.

After a while, he laughed, "You really are cruel, can’t you even give me a chance?"

"I have to do this because... there’s someone else in my heart," Mu Yiliang said softly.

Gu Qingqian’s face turned pale instantly: "What did you say?"

"It’s Xiaoze’s biological father." Mu Yiliang dared not mention Yan Sijue’s name, "I’ve always loved him, even though we’re already apart."

"You’re still thinking about him even after breaking up..." he said, suppressing his emotions.

Mu Yiliang smiled bitterly, "I don’t want to either, but I can’t forget him."

Even if all her memories are gone, the heart that loves him is still so easily awakened.

Gu Qingqian tightly pursed his lips, finally speaking in a hoarse voice, "...Who is it?"

Mu Yiliang remained silent.

"You’re not lying to me, are you? Just saying that to brush me off," he laughed self-mockingly, "It’s really unnecessary, if you truly dislike me, I won’t pester you."
