"There's definitely gratitude, but it's not the crucial part."
"Oh? Then what's crucial?"
Qin Ruojing turned her head to look at Chu Ge, with a somewhat helpless yet tender smile.
"It's a very complex feeling. I find it difficult to express it with words. In fact, I've doubted myself more than once, unsure if it's what people call love. Until you brought Long Kun during the board reshuffle and did what you did, I thought about it carefully, and that's when I made up my mind."
Chu Ge was taken aback. Even though today's unexpected occurrences were already quite overwhelming, hearing Qin Ruojing say that left him puzzled.
"Because of this incident? Impossible. You were clearly upset with me over this and if you hadn't brought it up, I certainly wouldn't have mentioned it. I thought you were still holding a grudge and would argue whenever this topic came up."
Seeing Chu Ge's surprised face, Qin Ruojing's smile grew even softer.
