Ning Yichen couldn't help but laugh, "What he means is... probably that only you can be his wife."
"But why..." Zhixi still found it hard to believe, "He clearly told me that he hadn't been waiting for me these four years, he had already..."
Stopped loving her.
"If he wasn't waiting for you, then for whom was he waiting?" Ning Yichen suddenly sighed softly, "Do you know why he and I became friends?"
Zhixi's eyes widened as she shook her head slightly.
"Because of you," Ning Yichen said word by word, "Because we both wanted to find out the truth behind that explosion, to avenge you. After your accident, He Jingyao was the only one who insisted that you were still alive. He never gave up searching for you, right up until the day before you returned to the country as the daughter of Duke Leslie. Our private meetings were all because of you."
Zhixi was momentarily stunned.
