Chapter 366 - Push Her Away (2/2)

After a bit of casual conversation, He Jian got to the point, "I'm sure you've heard about my... Previous relationship." Zhao Mi'er nodded her head. "You seem like a nice girl. I really don't want to ruin your life. So, let me ask you something, can you spend your life in a loveless marriage?"

"How will it be a loveless marriage?" She asked.

"Even if I say I can try to love you, I can't be sure about that." He Jian answered sincerely.

Zhao Mi'er smiled gently before saying, "Mr. He, you don't have to think so much. In my life, I've loved you enough that it can last a lifetime. I believe my love alone would be enough for both of us."

He Jian's eyes widened dramatically at her reply. "This is the first time we are meeting."

"Not really." She stated calmly while he looked at her with a raised brow. "I've known you for years. Precisely, from the day I saw you crying by Wu Weiwei's deathbed." He Jian's heart shook at her reply. "That was the day I decided that I wanted someone like you in my life. The pain in your eyes made me feel your torture. Your love for her was immense and pure. It made me envy someone for the first time in my life."

Taking a deep breath she continued, "I couldn't find anyone like you. Or perhaps, I couldn't stop myself from looking for you in others. So, when Auntie Bingbing told me that she wanted me to marry you, I was beyond elated."

"Relationships can't work on one person's love." He Jian stated after her word sank in his mind.

"No. But love is not the only thing that makes a relationship work. Understanding is also needed and no one can understand you better than me."

*End of Flashback*

"Did you say yes for the marriage?" Xu Mey asked listening to him.

"Not yet. We decided to spend some time together before coming to a conclusion." Xu Mey nodded her head in understanding.

"From what I heard, she's really a match for you," Xu Mey told him since she had heard a lot about Zhao Mi'er from others. "Hope you won't push her away."

"I'm not planning on pushing anyone. If she's really meant to be my other half, no one can change that. Right?"

"Agreed."
