Chapter 1457 - When Did You Fall In Love With Me? (1/2)

Honey filled her mouth like the sweetest ambrosia known to man. Pouting her cherry-red lips, Lu Ning mumbled, ”What? Since when have you been chasing me? How was I unaware?”

”You wound me - you heartless little thing!”

Lu Ning recalled the events of her past, combing through and scrutinizing them with a keen eye. When she was 17, Zhihan had indeed said he would take on the responsibility of caring for her. He had even said he would marry her. Perhaps it was her relative youth at that time or the fact that his proposal was too sudden, but she did not put stock in his words, thinking they were a bluff meant to scare her.

Several years later, Zhihan had said, once again, how he would make her his wife, the wife to a President of an illustrious company. She had not believed him then because he was together with Ela and Ann. His promiscuity made it impossible for her to put any faith in his words.

With the revelation of the circumstances surrounding those past events, Lu Ning now saw it all unfolding in a new light. He had been serious all along. He had been testing her, feeling out what she thought of him.

Yin Zhihan was a proud son of heaven; he had his pride and image to uphold. Admittedly, it now looked rather cute the way he wagged his tail like a dog every time he tried wooing her.

Clasping her fondly, Zhihan's hands slid over her smooth, silky skin. ”I'm sure you must have hated me quite a bit, those few years ago. You always shied away whenever you saw me. Not only did you refuse to look me in the eye, but you also refused to speak with me. There was even a time you refused to call me by my name. It was so grating on the nerves listening to you call Pingan by his name as if you were both a thing...”

Lu Ning looked at Zhihan as if she had arrived at an epiphany. ”No wonder you kept mentioning Pingan whenever you spoke to me. Were you jealous of him?”

Yin Zhihan snorted.

Snickering privately in her heart, Lu Ning said softly, ”I've always had a good impression of Pingan. I was younger then; I didn't know much more than you did in the ways of love. Even if I did have a crush on him at one point, it never amounted to anything more than a fancy.”

”Then when did you fall in love with me?”

”You first.” Lu Ning blushed expectantly.

Yin Zhihan's eyebrows arched in amusement. Without warning, he stole a kiss from her lips. ”I remember someone standing outside the door watching me as I stepped out of the shower. That person ran away before I could say anything...”

Oh. So Zhihan had fallen in love with her at that time.
