Chapter 286 - 293: Blessed
Li Yifei stood next to Michelle, gazing at the pretty girl’s profile, he sighed softly and said, "Michelle, you are really too naive."
Michelle shook her head gently, her shoulder-length hair swaying beautifully with the movement of her shoulders. She turned to Li Yifei with a brilliant smile and said, "I’m just a silly girl, but Brother Li, don’t take it too seriously. I was too impulsive at the time, it shouldn’t count."
Despite Michelle’s carefree words, her eyes clearly held a glint of hope.
Li Yifei knew, Michelle didn’t want to burden him. She was as kind as Su Yiyi, yet bolder than her. They had much in common, yet were different in many ways, each with their own unique charm. But one thing was the same, they were both so likable.
However, Li Yifei really couldn’t accept Michelle. Su Yiyi and Ye Yunzhu already left him in difficult straits, and he had gotten involved with Lin Qiong just a couple days before, still not clear about it. Michelle was so kind, he didn’t have the heart to drag her into this mess.
With a heavy heart, Li Yifei said, "Michelle, thank you for liking me, but... I think it’s better if we just stay friends."
Michelle’s expression turned a bit ugly at once, she forced a smile and said, "Brother Li, I understand, haven’t we always been good friends?"
Li Yifei felt a twinge of pain. Michelle’s public confession meant that everyone in the company now knew she liked him, and by rejecting her, it would invite talk and rumors about her.
This made Li Yifei uncomfortable, but showing softness now would only make Michelle fall deeper. Pretending not to notice her sadness, he smiled and said, "Yes, we are the best of friends. You’re my confidante, and I’m yours."
Michelle nodded, "Yes, we are confidantes." Her heart ached, and she barely held back her tears.
