Qin Si Ye released her hand and slowly turned her shoulders. "I'm sorry, Shen Xi! Because back then, I hadn't truly seen my own heart. Now, I am very clear about my feelings. I really like you."
He really wanted to say, Xi Xi, I've kept you in my heart for five years.
A while ago, the reason I said that was because I didn't know you two were the same person. I've been suppressing my emotions.
Whether it was five years ago or recently, you captured my heart within two months.
But he couldn't say these things.
Because he had promised the children not to reveal her true identity for the time being.
Upon hearing this, Shen Xi forcefully broke free from him and took two steps back. "Mr. Qin, what you've said is shocking and unacceptable to me. I'm sorry!"
After speaking, she quickly ran forward.
Returning to her room, Shen Xi firmly locked the door and panted heavily, as if someone were chasing her.
Her heart pounded incessantly, seemingly reaching her throat, about to leap out.
From the moment he appeared in the dilapidated factory that afternoon, she felt that this man's state was not right. It turned out to be because he had developed romantic feelings for her.
But was all of this too sudden? What exactly caused such a big change in his emotions?
Could it be because of the children? If he couldn't approach her directly through the children, he had turned his attention to her?
Was his goal to become the children's daddy and raise them for the deceased "Yin Xi"?
At this moment, the WeChat notification sound came from her phone in her bag.
Shen Xi took a deep breath, put down the medicine box, and opened it to check.
It was Qin Si Ye.
She hesitated for a long time before clicking on it. She saw a long piece of text.
"Shen Xi, did I scare you just now? I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say those things in that state. It's just that the emotions suppressed in my heart for too long have made me suffer. kanshuwu.xia
This must be very sudden for you. I'm not asking for an immediate response. I just want to tell you my feelings, and I can wait. Please don't reject me, don't push me away again, okay?"
After reading the text, Shen Xi felt as if an invisible hand had grasped her heart, causing a slight pain. It was the same feeling she had that night at Xinglan Bay.
Did this man truly fall for her? Were her thoughts just now wrong?
She admitted that she had never disliked him. But could she truly accept this affection of his?
If he were to find out one day that she was the woman from that night five years ago, and also Su Chengyu's ex-girlfriend, would he still like her? Would he still be with her?
Shen Xi raised her hand and typed on the screen: "Mr. Qin, thank you for your affection. I didn't expect that our two months of getting along have troubled you for so long. I deeply apologize. But I cannot accept your feelings."
Quickly, Qin Si Ye replied, "Can I know the reason?"
Shen Xi lowered her head and thought for a long time, typing and deleting on the screen, then deleting and retyping, finally sending the following message.
"We are not on the same path. You are a business elite standing at the top of the pyramid, while I am just an ordinary person, completely unworthy of you."
Qin Si Ye said, "Love is based on feelings, and has nothing to do with money or status. Besides, you are not ordinary either, you carry the title of an international renowned doctor.
If you feel that our values are different, I can change myself and strive to be like you."
Shen Xi frowned. "Mr. Qin, why are you so persistent?"
Qin Si Ye suddenly sent a smiling emoji. "I've always been persistent in what I do. Once I've set my mind on something, I will do it well. And I will never give up on the person I've set my heart on.
Of course, I won't put too much pressure on you. You don't have to do anything, just feel it with your heart."
After reading the message, Shen Xi's heart trembled. Just as she was about to try and persuade him again,
Another message came below.
"Alright, it's getting late. You've been through a lot today and must be very tired. Get some rest early. Good night!"
Shen Xi closed her eyes lightly, put down her phone, and walked towards the washroom.
That night, she tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep for a long time...
