Chapter 40: Scandal
"Yu, I know you don’t have feelings for me in that way."
Lu Xingchen knew he couldn’t suppress his feelings throughout the journey. After all, his realization that he liked Ji Yu only dawned on him half a year after her wedding.
Lu Xingchen, who had never liked anyone before, fell for her after she got married. Even he himself found this situation somewhat ironic.
But since Ji Yu was already married, Lu Xingchen had never expressed much.
His blessings for Ji Yu never wavered over the years, even though he didn’t know who the victorious rival was before the fight even began.
"In that case, should we just stay friends?"
Ji Yu wasn’t sure if the other party could continue treating her like a friend, but the best way to resolve the matter was always to be upfront.
Though Lu Xingchen was saddened that he was rejected even before he could confess, as someone older, he saw matters of the heart more clearly.
To him, as long as Ji Yu was happy, it was enough.
Lu Xingchen handed over the carefully prepared bouquet of pink roses to Ji Yu, then watched her leave before driving home.
Ji Yu held the bright roses in her hands and froze momentarily.
