Chapter 1589: Chapter 1589: Catch it first and then talk
But later she realized that she had her own pride, and Brother Ling Kong also had his pride. He had always spoiled her, but there were some things that she couldn’t touch, couldn’t say.
The result was that they grew increasingly distant, resulting in the ten-year gap.
She felt this matter was her fault.
"The little girl has indeed grown up." Ye Lu was extremely surprised, as if seeing the sun rise from the west. This little girl actually reviewed her own mistakes.
You should know, this girl’s personality has always been: if you did wrong, it’s absolutely your fault; if I did wrong, it’s still your fault. I would never admit fault anyway.
Sometimes, she even felt that her daughter was a bit too headstrong. Later, after growing up, she changed a bit, but she was still a stubborn girl who wouldn’t bow her head.
Unexpectedly, the past event still lingered in her heart, evidently leading to her psychological growth. She realized that to have a complete relationship, it couldn’t be one-sided in demands; she needed to contribute as well.
"But, even so, you agreed too quickly, didn’t you?" This time it was Ye Lu’s turn to be conflicted.
Although young people nowadays are bolder than their generation, brushing off things like flash marriages, after all, there isn’t yet a solid emotional foundation!
"It’s just an engagement, not a marriage." Jun Yiyi seemed rather indifferent. In this open era and country, even same-sex couples can marry. She didn’t think it was a big deal, as long as it made her happy.
More importantly, although she didn’t want to say it, she was anxious inside.
Brother Ling Kong has become so handsome and charming. To be honest, when she saw him downstairs, it really felt like an electric shock.
When she was dancing just now, she saw many female admirers eyeing him greedily. Those women who usually mocked her for not being pursued by men were practically drooling, eager to snatch him away.
Hmph, she wouldn’t let other women take him away.
She’d grab hold of him first.
After all, for the past ten years, she’d settle accounts with Brother Ling Kong slowly later, make him compensate fiercely.
"But..."
"Mommy, are you worried Brother Ling Kong doesn’t like me? Rest assured, if he wants to marry me, of course, he’s in love with me. He confessed because he can’t do without me." Jun Yiyi couldn’t help but feel a bit smug, dreamily imagining, "Even though we haven’t seen each other for ten years, he must have been secretly infatuated with me for a long time, always watching me from the shadows, too shy to approach me."
Actually, if it weren’t for the argument back then, she might not have become like this today. With Brother Ling Kong’s constant pampering, she would still be a lazy girl, only knowing how to eat, drink, and play, living superficially as a useless parasite.
Would Brother Ling Kong still like her if she were like that? Even if he did, she wouldn’t like herself.
She much preferred the current version of herself, having become a well-educated talent, independent and self-sufficient, proudly standing on an equal footing with him, no longer feeling inferior or unfit for his world.
These ten years, though tough, were also her biggest growth opportunity, something she never regretted.
"He will certainly treat you well." Ye Lu smiled wryly. She wasn’t worried about this; Ling Kong was much more mature than this girl, understood his own feelings well, and knew how to cherish them.
For Yiyi, he sacrificed so much. If he didn’t deeply love this little girl, how could he have achieved that?
So she had no doubt that Ling Kong would treat Yiyi well. Marrying him, Ling Kong would definitely spoil the girl for a lifetime.
Her concern wasn’t for Ling Kong, but for Yiyi.
