Li Yinianâs heart tensed up and she didnât dare to move anymore. She lowered her voice and asked, âHow⦠are you? If youâre feeling unwell, Iâll call the doctor outside.â
Qiao Yanze chuckled. âDonât move, Iâll be fine.â
Li Yinian bit her lip. Although she suspected that he was teasing her again, she didnât dare to move when she saw the manâs pale face.
âIs your injury⦠alright?â she asked softly.
âItâs fine.â He looked at her with a smile on his lips. âBesides, itâs worth it to be hit like this since I got to hear your heartfelt words.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
!!
âQiao Yanze!â She was furious. âYou know, you knowâ¦â
âDidnât you just ask if I wouldnât feel disgusted or embarrassed?â The man interrupted her, and there was a strange gentleness in his hoarse voice. âNo, Iâve never felt that kind of emotion for a second, and I canât hate you. But I do regret it. I regret being too stupid and arrogant, and not thinking for you. I regret forcing you like that, making you suffer too much alone, but I never regretted being with you, nor did I regret falling in love with you.â
Li Yinian felt every cell in her body trembling.
Tears streamed down her face, and her throat seemed to be blocked by something. She could only bite her lips hard to control her sobs.
Qiao Yanze raised his hand and tried to touch her face.
She wanted to dodge, but she restrained herself and let his hand touch her cheek.
âYou donât seem to have finished speaking just now.â He revealed an evil and sly smile. âI want to hear it.â
Li Yinian was stunned for a moment before remembering what she had been about to say.
âI have nothing to say,â she said hoarsely. She placed her hands on the edge of the bed. âLet go. I should leave. Perhaps your family will come to see you soon.â
âNo, they wonât come. After all, Iâm still in the ICU, so itâs not convenient for them to visit.â The manâs tone was relaxed. âLet them think that Iâm about to die, and they can take the opportunity to see many things. Look, Iâve benefited a lot from being hit.â
âThatâs because youâre lucky!â She was so angry that her face turned red. âIf you really died, letâs see if you can still smile!â
âYouâre worried about me, arenât you?â His arms tightened. âWhen you came in just now, I almost couldnât hold it in⦠I really wanted to see your expression. But fortunately, I held it in. Otherwise, I wouldnât have heard your confession.â
âQiao Yanze!â Li Yinian was angry and regretful. âYouâre simply⦠Youâre simplyâ¦â
She really did not know how to face him.
He knew what their relationship was, but this man still said such things without hesitation. What was he thinking?
âCanât that stop him?â
Qiao Yanze seemed to have seen something in her eyes. He smiled and stroked her face with his fingertips. âAs you can see, I donât mind at all. In fact, today might be the happiest day Iâve had in the past six months. Do you know why?â
Li Yinian bit her lip and refused to answer.
âThatâs right, because you said you love me.â His tone was indescribable.
âI didnât say that!â Li Yinian retorted angrily. She wanted to punch his chest.
