Chapter 370 I May Not Like You That Much
Li Zhen didn't feel that way before, but now because of Lu Xingchen, he couldn't help feeling a little guilty when he said these things.
"I never thought I would meet you again, so Feng Qianyu refused to give up at that time. I also felt that it was useless to talk to her, so I just focused on my own affairs, thinking that as long as I didn't respond, she would give up sooner or later. And then she was arranged by Mr. Feng to work abroad. There was no need for us to contact each other in the past few years. But last night, she suddenly came to the Jade Manor without saying hello."
Hearing this, Lu Xingchen's eyes finally darkened slightly, and he subconsciously asked: "She is also very familiar with your family?"
Li Zhen realized that he seemed to have touched a line with Lu Xingchen, but he couldn't hide it because the side effects would be greater if he did. He also didn't intend to hide it from her, so he nodded and admitted:
"My mother knows that Mr. Feng helped me with my career, so she is grateful to the Feng family. That's why we visit each other during festivals. In addition, Feng Qianyu used to visit her from time to time..." Li Zhen omitted the rest of the words and only told Lu Xingchen, "But no matter how my mother treats her, I don't have any thoughts about her."
It sounds like Wang Yaning has a pretty good impression of Feng Qianyu, so Feng Qianyu's relationship with Li Zhen shouldn't just be unreasonable, but something she really tried hard to achieve.
Lu Xingchen didn't expect that she cared more about these things than Feng Qianyu's visit to challenge her, but even if she cared, she knew in her heart that not to mention that Li Zhen was not with Feng Qianyu, even if they were together it was reasonable.
She lowered her eyes and said nothing.
Li Zhen was a little anxious when he saw her like this, "Don't be silent, I can explain everything to you if you need me to explain it."
Lu Xingchen looked at him and said, "Like you said, you didn't think about meeting me again at that time, and I really didn't appear in your life. Moreover, these things happened after I broke up with you. So, even if you were with Feng Qianyu, it was just your normal relationship."
"I have never been with her."
"I know, so there is no need to explain it to me."
Li Zhen looked at her for a moment and said, "But, you have something that bothers you."
Lu Xingchen looked at him for a moment, unable to deny it, nor did he want to deny it, so he admitted directly: "Yes, I know I shouldn't do that, but when I think of Feng Qianyu, the Feng family gave you the help that I never gave you, and even after you received their favor of 'teaching you to fish', you turned around and gave this favor to me, which makes me feel... not very comfortable."
"Stars..."
"You don't have to tell me the reason behind this, or say that you like me or something like that. I understand it all, but I can't immediately put aside these discomforts just because I understand. This is a weakness in my character, but also a strong point in my stubbornness. I can't control it."
Li Zhen: "But I don't want you to feel uncomfortable, so what should I do to make you feel better?"
I don’t know. Lu Xingchen actually felt that she was making excuses to create conflicts between the two of them. She sighed quietly, “You don’t have to do anything. I can digest it myself.”
Li Zhen looked at her sober yet stubborn appearance and didn't know what else to explain for a moment.
Seeing his helpless look, Lu Xingchen couldn't help but ask, "Have you also discovered that when we really get along, I have quite a lot of character flaws?"
She has been feeling this way a lot lately.
Li Zhen flatly denied it, "No, I just think I should have explained this matter to you earlier."
Lu Xingchen was silent for a moment, "But what I'm talking about is not just this matter, but also marriage and having children. Even though I say I like you, I'm not willing to step out of my comfort zone. So I think, maybe I want you to like and fulfill me more than I like you. This is not only true emotionally, but I also seem to be a bit mean in my career. I only want to get from you, but I haven't given you anything beyond my reluctance."
Li Zhen was shocked when he heard this, "I did everything for you willingly, and I thought you were willing to give it to me as well."
Lu Xingchen couldn't help but ask him a question that he had asked himself many times these days, "So what do you think I have given you?"
There was clearly no quarrel between the two, but Li Zhen felt a sense of panic that he was about to be re-examined. "Xingchen, what do you want to say?"
Lu Xingchen actually didn't quite understand how the conversation ended up touching on the area of confusion in her heart.
Li Zhen was even more uneasy when he saw that she didn't speak. He sat up slightly and looked at her, "Aren't you willing to be with me?"
"I do it willingly, but lately I've been asking myself how much I really like you."
This rhetorical question was like a dangerous blade approaching Li Zhen, "Is it because I mentioned marriage?"
Lu Xingchen thought about it again and felt that she really shouldn't be so clear-headed, but she said to Li Zhen very clearly: "Indeed, because of the marriage, I have asked myself a lot of questions. If I don't get married, is it fair to you? Is it fair to your family? And in order to treat you all fairly, am I willing to marry you?"
In fact, when she said this, Li Zhen had already vaguely guessed her answer. He really didn't expect that a topic on New Year's Eve would still be in a state of collapse today. In addition to panic, he couldn't help feeling a little powerless.
Sometimes, Lu Xingchen was so stubborn that he was helpless, just like when she broke up with him.
Sure enough, today Lu Xingchen continued to talk to himself: "I think about it, and it seems that I am unwilling, so Li Zhen..."
The place where she paused made Li Zhen's throat roll up and down, and he felt the suffocating feeling when she suddenly broke up with him. "So, what?"
Lu Xingchen felt a little reluctant, but he still took a deep breath and said, "So, maybe I don't like you that much."
Li Zhen thought that the scar in his heart had disappeared because he was with her again, but when his heart was torn apart at that moment, he realized that the wound was still the same as before.
"I don't ask you to like me to the point of sacrificing yourself. All I want is your wholehearted love and willingness. If it's not possible now, I can wait."
“What if it never works in the future?” It’s like a person who is afraid of heights or faints at the sight of blood, who will never be able to recover on their own, but will never be understood by people who are not afraid of heights or faints at the sight of blood. “That’s not fair to you.”
"I said I'm willing, as long as you like me more than anyone else."
"You would say that now, but what about two years later, or even more years later?" Lu Xingchen's eyes became even calmer as she spoke. "I suddenly feel that it is not a bad thing for Feng Qianyu to come to you at this time. You can make a more correct choice again."
Li Zhen was surprised by her choice of words, but immediately became angry, "What do you mean by that?"
