Zhao Anqi let out a sigh and said earnestly, "Tong Ji Yang, I admit I used to like you, but not that much, otherwise I wouldn’t have left you. Besides, in these two years since leaving you, I’ve liked you even less. What about the body being honest, the body is driven by instincts, everyone has desires, even with other men, I would also..."
"Shut up!" Tong Ji Yang’s expression changed, "You can only be with me, Zhao Anqi. You say you don’t like me, but your eyes, everything about you, say that the one you really like is me. I know you are concerned about our identities. I’ve said before, I can give up that position, but I can’t give up on you."
Zhao Anqi was momentarily speechless.
"Qi Qi." Tong Ji Yang leaned over and pulled her into his arms, "Trust me! You know Lu Beichen, right? And you also know the popular Ji Niandong recently?"
Zhao Anqi raised her head slightly to look at him, "They are married."
Zhao Anqi’s eyes widened in shock; no wonder, no wonder that during Ji Niandong’s radio broadcast, someone like Lu Beichen would call in and express fondness for his wife.
"Lu Beichen’s mysterious wife is Ji Niandong, it’s actually Ji Niandong?!"
"That’s right, you also find it unbelievable, right? Everyone thinks that someone like Lu Beichen wouldn’t marry someone from the entertainment industry, then why can’t I marry you, haven’t I also mingled in the entertainment industry?"
Zhao Anqi hesitated slightly, Tong Ji Yang continued, "I never told you because I was afraid you’d leak it out, and if Lu Beichen got angry, I wouldn’t be able to protect you. But Qi Qi, you’re not inferior to anyone. If it’s just about that damned family background, I’ll find someone to forge one for you, and then see who dares to say a word against it. Qi Qi, give me a chance, will you? At least let’s try together to see if we really can’t be together, isn’t that right?"
But I’m afraid that once I step in, even if it’s a grave, I might never come back. Zhao Anqi kept her head lowered; she had been without a safety net since childhood, abandoned by her parents, disliked by her adoptive father. If, in the end, this man she loves the most isn’t able to hold onto her, wouldn’t she be pitiable?
Still, what he says seems right, haven’t tried, how would we know we can’t be together?
But, this clearly isn’t something that needs to be tried!
Zhao Anqi slowly let out a breath, "Okay, I will seriously consider it!"
Tong Ji Yang was overjoyed, holding her even tighter, Zhao Anqi broke free and said, "I’m just considering it, it doesn’t mean I’ll agree to you."
Being open to considering was a step back; he needs to try harder, and keep up the efforts.
After finishing the meal, Tong Ji Yang dropped her off downstairs at her home, "I won’t invite you up for a sit, after all, you’re not my boyfriend yet."
"Qi Qi... you must consider it well, I believe in you."
Zhao Anqi was just unbuckling her seatbelt and couldn’t help but chuckle lightly, believe in her? Has he forgotten how she abandoned him without a word two years ago?
What’s the need to be so persistent, and create more hurt for both him and herself?
Zhao Anqi pushed the door open and said, "Good night!"
"Good night!"
Once she got upstairs, turned on the light, and pulled the curtain, she saw his car still parked there; Zhao Anqi knew very well that he would always park there every night, gazing upstairs from afar. Zhao Anqi paused, then decisively closed the curtain.
"Sir, let’s meet up!"
