768: Confession

Confession

Guan Tang looked as though she wanted to say more, but in the end, she only lowered her head. She could feel Cheng Che looking at her, and she knew she had to be reserved at this moment.0

Cheng Che's gaze was cold, but he tried to sound gentle as he said, "Thanks for telling me this, Guan Tang. In fact, I'm not returning to the family to fight for anything. I just want to return to where I belong. I can also see Grandpa and the family's sincerity. I'd be heartless if I remained completely unmoved."

Guan Tang looked at Cheng Che, who had already shifted his gaze away, timidly. Then, she called out in a trembling voice, "Cheng Che…"

Guan Tang's heart throbbed as she looked at him.

Cheng Che hummed softly in response.

Guan Tang's eyes shone with tears again as she said in a trembling voice, "I, I actually… I only, I hope to be able to see you from time to time…"

Then, Guan Tang covered her mouth as though she was trying her best to hold back her tears.

Cheng Che did not speak.

Guan Tang's heart was filled with joy as she cried even harder.

When Cheng Che pulled to a stop at the red light, he handed a piece of tissue to her.

Guan Tang accepted it and wiped the tears from her face as she tried her best to calm down. Her quavering voice sounded very touching as she said, "I have self-awareness. Although we had a marriage agreement for more than 20 years, I'm the third party between you and Jiahui. I should leave both of you alone and keep my last bit of dignity. But, but… Cheng Che, do you know how much my heart hurts? You, you should've been my husband… I really hate myself sometimes. Why can't I be more selfish like Yin Yi? Why can't I take something for myself even if it doesn't belong to me? Especially when t's mine to begin with…"

Guan Tang lowered her voice nearing the end of her words.

Cheng Che remained silent and focused on driving.

Guan Tang was encouraged by Cheng Che's silence so she continued to say, "Cheng Che, I've been conflicted these days. I tell myself I shouldn't intervene in your relationship with Jiahui, but on the other hand, I… I can't stop myself from liking you… I'm not asking for anything. I, I just hope that you'll allow me to silently like you. I won't compete with Jiahui. Just allow me to… to say by your side…"

After Guan Tang finished speaking, she looked at Cheng Che's side profile from the corners of her eyes, waiting for his reply.

At this time, Cheng Che's car had already pulled to a stop in front of Guan Tang's house.

Cheng Che looked a little tired as he wiped his face and said, "Guan Tang, my grandfather has already said that you'll be treated like a Young Miss of the Yin family. You don't have to worry. There'll be plenty of men who will pursue you. You'll definitely meet someone who treats you well."

Guan Tang stared at Cheng Che intently and asked, "What about you? Don't you like me even if it's just a little?"

Guan Tang no longer planned to hide her intention and thought it was good to confess directly.

Cheng Che pursed his lips and did not reply, but he avoided Guan Tang's gaze.

Guan Tang bit her lips before she asked, "You're… You're not completely unmoved, right? Cheng Che?"

Seeing that Cheng Che was still silent, Guan Tang nodded lightly as she said, "Alright, Cheng Che. It's fine as long as you're slightly moved. I'll definitely prove myself worthy of you! No matter what you have to face in the future, I'll stand by your side! I'll be your eyes and ears in the Yin family!"

Without waiting for Cheng Che's reply, Guan Tang alighted from the car and entered her house without looking back. However, as soon as she entered the house, she quickly ran upstairs and hid behind the curtains before looking out the window.
