CHAPTER 402: CHAPTER 402: I LOVE YOU (176)

Long Tianjiao kept psyching herself up in her mind. After drying her hair, she felt like alcohol had corroded her brain.

Emerging from the bathroom, she hadn’t spoken when he was the one to break the silence.

"Tian Jiao..." Liang He’s gaze opened and landed on her face.

"Let me become your real woman, okay?" She mustered up all her courage to say these words.

Liang He chuckled, "I’m not in a hurry, yet you seem so impatient."

"I am doubting myself! Is it because I have no charm?"

"No, it’s not that."

"Then what is it? You have to make it clear to me today!" Long Tianjiao just had to know the answer.

"On the night of your birthday, I already wanted to be with you." He reached out and playfully scratched her nose, "I didn’t sleep well at all that night."

"Then why didn’t you..."

"Because I know I don’t love you." He looked at her, "To be with you like that, without love, would be irresponsible to you."

"Now, tell me honestly, what do you feel for me?"

"I like you."

Long Tianjiao immediately understood his meaning, and with a push, she moved him away, "Okay, I’m going to sleep now."

Liang He: "..."

Actually, Long Tianjiao felt relieved in her heart, gaining a new layer of appreciation for Liang He’s character.

She looked forward to the day he would fall in love with her, to the day he would transform her from a girl to a woman.

Her inner urgency subsided in an instant.

But Liang He was not calm.

"Are you angry?"

"No."

"You are angry." Liang He leaned in closer, "Tian Jiao..."

Long Tianjiao sat up and looked at him seriously, "I’m not angry, why should I be? There’s nothing to be angry about."

Seeing that she didn’t appear to be lying, Liang He wrapped his arms around her and lay down, "Don’t rush, when I can’t stand it anymore, I’ll take care of you."

Long Tianjiao laughed, "Let’s sleep, I’m tired."

Facing the man she was infatuated with, she still lacked self-control; when she saw him, she wanted to embrace him, when she didn’t, she missed him to the point of sickness. But fortunately, she had plenty of time to wait for him, for him to fall in love with her.

Long Tianjiao didn’t think it would be a difficult task; she had that self-confidence.

When Gu Lili woke up, she found Long Yubei lying beside her, watching her.

"When did you come back?"

"An hour ago." His hand rested on her protruding belly, "Feng Xi brought her boyfriend home today, and Cong Mo went crazy."

"Crazy about what?"

Gu Lili propped herself up, sipping tea while listening to him.

After listening, she glanced at him, "Marriage is different from dating. With dating, you can be together for love, but marriage isn’t always the same. Being comfortable with each other is enough to get married; it’s better with love, but it’s fine without it too. If Feng Xi is happy now, that’s good too."
