Chapter 384: Chapter 383 Renewal (13)
The two voices almost sounded simultaneously.
The remaining half of Dong Xin Yan’s words got stuck in her throat. Her dark eyes suddenly widened, filled with disbelief, and her red lips trembled lightly, yet she couldn’t make a sound.
Gu Ningyi’s dark eyes deeply gazed at Dong Xin Yan, his eyes were profound but couldn’t suppress the tenderness, more than anything, he was nervous.
At this moment, his heart was pounding fiercely in his chest, beating violently, even his palms were uncontrollably sweating lightly.
He actually pondered all night on what he wanted to say, but in usual days, he never spoke these cheesy romantic words, so he didn’t know what to say, and his only advisor, Yuan Shen, was dead drunk. In the end, he did one silly thing.
In the middle of the night, he called Secretary Lin, asking her to immediately organize a list of confession love words for him. Judging from Secretary Lin’s tone at the time, she probably really wanted to scold him.
But in the end, she organized it overnight, and he memorized it overnight.
He, who always had an excellent memory, was stumped by these words, stammering through them, with the phrases not following one another, prompting Old Chen to burst out laughing, teasing him with, "Young master, I’ve memorized them just from listening to you. And if you plan to confess to Miss Dong, definitely don’t use such a stiff tone, otherwise Miss Dong won’t feel your affection."
Effort pays off in the end, he still memorized all of those words.
However, he originally didn’t plan to tell Dong Xin Yan right now. On this boat, he had prepared music, lights, flowers, and a candlelit dinner.
He wanted to seriously confess to her.
Yet she kept urging, becoming increasingly impatient, and finally, he just said it. But the words he had so thoroughly memorized, the deep pool of love words, looking at her charming face, he completely forgot, leaving only one awkward sentence.
Gu Ningyi couldn’t help but feel annoyed, but after the first sentence, the rest of the words didn’t seem so difficult to say.
His hand subconsciously tightened, suppressing the stir in his heart. He took a deep breath, slowly extended his trembling hands, and gently held Dong Xin Yan’s soft little hands.
He rose from the lounge chair, inch by inch, squatted down, and finally... knelt on one knee.
"Xinyan, you said, in the past you never liked me, never had any feelings for me, but I... really like you."
"No matter what your purpose was in taking care of me, for money or anything else, I just like you."
"It was you who accompanied me through my darkest times, it was you who encouraged me, rekindling my confidence, it was your unyielding support that finally brought me back to light. It is also you... who let my heart feel the thrill for the first time, felt the taste of liking, I truly... really, really like you. I have never... liked anyone this much."
Can two months truly nurture a deep love?
Gu Ningyi once questioned this as well, how could someone like him, always indifferent in emotions, love a woman so deeply.
He pondered for a long time, and couldn’t figure it out. But later, gradually, he understood.
The most wonderful thing about love is its uniqueness; recognizing with one glance that it’s for a lifetime.
An emotionally indifferent person is not truly unemotional, but simply hasn’t met the one. Fortunately, he did, he felt the stir, he fell in love.
