Chapter 413: Ah! So, She Was Moved (3) (2/2)

He Jichen spoke so suddenly that he startled Ji Yi. Her fingertips trembled reflexively as she realized that her mind had wandered throughout their conversation.

There were some things he didn't dare ask, for fear that he wouldn't be able to face the answer.

But in that very moment, he couldn't not ask.

He Jichen didn't dare look up to meet Ji Yi's gaze as he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to suppress the anguish and sorrow. ”Is it because you guys got fake married, or because...”

Before He Jichen could finish, he felt a stifling pain in his chest which made it difficult for him to breathe. ”... many years passed and you still like him?”

If it was just because she and He Yuguang were fake married, he didn't need to take responsibility and the solution would be easy. He could tell her that the person she fake-married wasn't his older brother, but it was him. However, if she still liked his older brother... He Jichen stopped at that, as he didn't dare continue with that thought.

If he didn't notice that I was moved by him ten minutes ago, he'll definitely know by my reply.

But now, having realized that there were two men in her heart, Ji Yi didn't know how to answer him.

She liked Yuguang Ge, and her feelings were pure.

She was moved by He Jichen too, but she couldn't like him freely because she liked Yuguang Ge.

Judging by the way she was now, she wasn't worthy of liking Yuguang Ge, nor was she worthy of He Jichen's responsibility.

So, I have to uphold the decision I made last night... I can't hesitate anymore. Even if I'm in pain, all I can do is endure it. Who told me to let my love life get to such an absurd state!

I brought all this upon myself and I can't blame anyone!

At that thought, Ji Yi gulped hard and bluntly ignored He Jichen's question. With her calmest demeanor, she said, ”He Jichen, let's pretend what happened last night never happened.”

As Ji Yi said this, her hands involuntarily balled up into fists.

To prevent her voice from cracking and to soothe her aching heart, she dug her fingernails into her palms hard to mask her pain.
