126 The Man's Suspicion

The corner of Jin Longwen's lips lifted slightly as he looked at the quiet little woman in his arms. She neither seem perturbed by his confession nor did she has any reaction to it whatsoever. She was just quiet with her head hanging low. However, it already pleased the man to see no negative response coming from her.

As long as there was no rejection from Li Fei, Jin Longwen could breathe a sigh of relief. He would take this slowly, at her own pace, just like how he had promised to her. He would wait and it would be worth it.

Because anything would be better than the words that she had spoken that night.

"I don't love you."

Li Fei would never know how much those words had crushed him. Though he might not look like it, but deep down, he was bleeding. That one sentence held the echo of the past. An old scar that had been buried within him but torn open with just that.
