Chapter 612: Have You Fallen for Me 5_1
"Zhilan, I’m not angry." He Teng’s tone was very serious, constantly emphasizing that he was not angry. "Just like you said, this is your life. I have no right to overstep and do what I think is best for you. It’s unfair to you, after all, you’ve grown up, you’re not a child, and you have your own reasons for your choices. Zhilan, since we’re divorced now, you should start your own life, after all, you’re still young."
"What do you mean by starting my own life? He Teng, do you just can’t wait to get out of my life, or you don’t want me in your life anymore?" He Zhilan changed her tone, questioning him with the identity of a wife, a woman.
"Is it because ever since we were little, I was always causing trouble in the He Family, always making you all angry, always disappointing you, so you feel tired and don’t want to tolerate me anymore?" He Zhilan shook her head lightly, "But I can change. I’ve been trying to change. He Teng, I know you doubt all my changes, so I’ve been extremely careful around you, trying my best to demonstrate my sincerity. I even carefully avoid making any jokes with you, fearing that it might spark your doubts."
"Are you tired? Are you constantly suppressing your true self when you’re with me?" The ’truest self’ that He Teng referred to wasn’t He Zhilan’s oblivion or mischief, rather her cautiousness that almost made her lose herself. She tread lightly with her laughter, every word she spoke, and even when they were intimate, fearing that any unintentional movement might give him a misunderstanding.
He Teng thought, He Zhilan was the most genuine when she was with her classmates, with Lin Chan and others.
A girl who could freely joke around with her classmates, calling other girls ’beauty’ at their age of reckless vigor, with him, was always prudently like...
Like, she was with him, only needing to follow his likes and dislikes.
Her compliance, her carefulness, he noticed and it hurt his heart.
