Chapter 2117: Chapter 2117: Confession of Love
"But if it weren’t for me remembering it myself, were you planning to never tell me?" Ling Kong asked, putting on a stern face.
"Of course not."
Yiyi retorted.
"I just... I just didn’t want you to always have to help me, to be caught in a dilemma in public. I also understand your situation, your sensitive position where everything you do is watched closely, and if you help me, it would also implicate you. Even someone like me would feel heartache and not want you to bear everything. That’s why I worked so hard for these three years. I hoped to understand with my own hands. If, after succeeding, I’m still alive, I would come to you personally and confess my feelings. As long as you’re willing to accept me, then I won’t be afraid of anything, and I won’t care!"
This was one of her purposes for working so hard, not just for revenge, but also for him.
If he were still willing to love her, then she wouldn’t care about the Councilman, or any status or position, or what others say. She would stay by his side.
Hearing her passionate defense, Helan Ling Kong’s pale face showed signs of agitation, his eyes bright with mixed emotions.
Is this a confession to him?
After waiting so many years, exactly how many, from hope to hopelessness, from living to dying, now it was a rebirth.
Even if there was heartbreak and despair, now it was enough.
"Say it, say the words you’ve never told me." He cradled her face, his voice excited, his gaze unwavering.
Yiyi trembled, feeling a bittersweet happiness rising in her heart.
The unspeakable love, actually buried in her heart for many years, had never had the courage to be spoken, but now there was no need to hold back.
She looked back at him, her eyes moist, smiling through her tears.
"I love you, Brother Ling Kong."
Really, really love, ever since she was too young to understand, she had realized this man was different for her. For a girl who couldn’t take a fancy to any boy, she had always seen him.
Back then, she didn’t understand that it was a crush, that she cared.
She confused the fluttering of her heart with familial affection, mistaking his care for a brother’s love for a sister.
In the process of growing up, she tried to distance herself, to reject this so-called sibling love, but in her true heart, it always ached, and longing flooded like a torrent.
Even if she lost her memory, he would love her, and she would too. Even if she couldn’t remember, she was destined to love him.
They are the same.
"I love you too, Yiyi, my silly girl!" Helan Ling Kong said with a smile, resting his forehead against hers, his eyes also moist.
Both having opened their hearts, they exchanged a knowing smile, their chests full of overflowing happiness.
"Not right, since you remembered, why were you so cold to me before, didn’t come to see me, and that night... you actually..." Yiyi began to settle old scores.
"I was so busy, trying to help you before you did something yourself, like a spiral that couldn’t stop. How could I have time to see you? Besides, you’re allowed to be cold to me but I can’t ignore you a little? It’s just a small lesson for you. As for that night..."
Helan Ling Kong smirked, looking sideways at her mischievously.
"Why do you sound so regretful?"
"I don’t!" Yiyi blushed, her mouth unwilling to admit, but in her heart, she did feel a bit regretful at the time.
"Really not?"
"No, no, do you think I’m a lustful woman who has coveted you for a long time?" She glared at him, embarrassed and annoyed.
