“I’m sorry, Little Miss,” Zhou Yunjie looked at Chen Meng’er guiltily and said.

“What are you apologizing for? Just don’t be so scary in the future. Oh right, it’s already so late. Why are you waiting for me here? What’s so important?” Chen Meng’er set aside her own emotions, which had finally calmed down, and asked.

Regarding Chen Meng’er’s question, Zhou Yunjie kept his mouth shut, lowered his head, and did not speak for a long time.

Because of Chen Meng’er’s heightened instincts, she immediately smelled a faint smoke smell coming from Zhou Yunjie’s body. Only then did she realize that Zhou Yunjie was acting strangely today. Chen Meng’er’s brows furrowed slightly, then relaxed again.

Chen Meng’er suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart. She could not let Zhou Yunjie open his mouth today. If she let Zhou Yunjie open his mouth today, the relationship between them might really change. “Well, if there’s nothing else, I’ll go back and rest first. I’ve been tormenting myself for the whole day. I’m pretty tired.”

As she said this, Chen Meng’er was about to flee the scene.

However, just as Chen Meng’er turned around and was about to flee, Zhou Yunjie suddenly spoke.

“Little Miss, you… do you know that I like you?”

When Chen Meng’er heard Zhou Yunjie’s question, she was first stunned. Then, she felt a headache coming on. She knew that she should not have let Zhou Yunjie open his mouth. Now, she really regretted it. She regretted not leaving earlier.

However, Chen Meng’er knew that since Zhou Yunjie had already opened his mouth today, she couldn’t hide anymore. She could only choose to face it.

Chen Meng’er took a deep breath and then silently encouraged herself in her heart. Then, she turned around and answered Zhou Yunjie’s question. “Yes. I know that you like me. I learned this from my grandfather. However, I feel that grandfather must have made a mistake.”

“Sir didn’t make a mistake. Yes, I do like you. From the moment I first saw you, I fell in love with you.” This was the first time that Zhou Yunjie was honest about his feelings. “However, I have always known my place. I know that I am just the personal guard that Sir chose for you. I know in my heart that my position is not worthy of you at all. Therefore, from the beginning, I never thought of telling you my feelings for you. I just want to silently place my love for you in my heart.” These were Zhou Yunjie’s heartfelt words.

Zhou Yunjie was a stubborn person. Ever since he fell in love with Chen Meng’er, his head was filled with thoughts of Chen Meng’er. He never thought that he would marry and have children in the future. He only wanted to dedicate his life to Chen Meng’er. He only wanted to be by her side and help her take care of everything. Whenever Chen Meng’er needed him, he would be by her side.

“Yunjie, you…” Chen Meng’er was very moved by Zhou Yunjie’s words.

She knew that Zhou Yunjie was not a talkative person. However, Zhou Yunjie had been by her side for so many years. He did not need to say anything to her. She knew everything in her heart. And it was precisely because she knew clearly that Zhou Yunjie had been good to her for so many years and had given so much to her that Chen Meng’er felt guilty.

However, the matters of one’s heart were not for outsiders to decide on. Chen Meng’er had chosen Yuwen Jing.
