My Aloof Husband Can't Stop His Devoted Affection-Chapter 571 - 028: 3

Lu Shishu withdrew her gaze again. Yes! This barrier had existed in her heart for seven years, and that was indeed a long time.

During their conversation, Little Yu’er hadn’t said a word, just quietly sat by drinking milk tea and eating cake. Moreover, she couldn’t quite understand what they were talking about; she only knew it was about her brother.

After all, the name Nan Jiayan was one she recognized.

"Alright, enough about me. Didn’t you text me at noon saying you had something to tell me? Come on, spill it! What’s going on between you and Ming Haize?" Lu Shishu tossed her thoughts aside and asked softly, with a faint smile.

He Qianyue was taken aback upon hearing this, widening her eyes in disbelief: "How...how did you know I wanted to talk about him?" 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

"From just now, you mentioned Ming Haize two or three times in our conversation. If I couldn’t guess it, there must be something wrong with my brain, right? So, tell me, what’s going on? You two have been on and off for seven or eight years, to be honest, I’ve felt twisted and pained for you two. Clearly, you both have each other, but refuse to step out of your comfort zones to take just one step forward." Lu Shishu rolled her eyes at her, took a sip of coffee, and mercilessly teased her.

He Qianyue sighed silently. She was well aware of the issues between her and Ming Haize—family background, values, perspectives, and even his insecurities had been barriers for seven or eight years.

It’s not like she hadn’t tried hard for this relationship, both during school and afterward, but in the end, it led nowhere. She also had her comfort zone, and she couldn’t give up all her dignity and pride for a relationship. To prevent herself from getting hurt, she chose to stop and develop her career overseas. In recent years, she hadn’t really been in touch with Ming Haize, let alone seen him. Not even for Lin Xuwan’s son’s full moon banquet did she return.

As for the real reason for not returning, only she knew.

But after so many years, to say she had let it go, she might not even believe it herself. To say she hadn’t, but in recent times, she had indeed been living quite freely.

Her feelings for Ming Haize were akin to love unfulfilled, leaving regrets, anger, and even unwillingness in her heart.

"Say something!" Seeing that He Qianyue wasn’t speaking, Lu Shishu felt her patience wearing thin and urged her.

"Wasn’t it that time we had a party? He was there too, and then we both got drunk, right? Weren’t you taken home by Nan Jiayan?"

At the mention of this, Lu Shishu suddenly felt an impulse not to listen any further.

"Ming Haize took me home, and then the next morning, I woke up at his place."

Lu Shishu was speechless once more. This felt like a plot she had seen somewhere, incredibly familiar, beyond familiar.

"Actually, at that time, I was very resistant. After all, we had clearly decided not to have any more entanglements, but... when I was about to leave, he suddenly grabbed me and kissed me. Can you believe it? His stubborn personality actually took the initiative to kiss me forcefully—what does that mean? It’s more frightening than a pig climbing a tree! I was shocked at that moment."

Lu Shishu was stunned as she listened. Although she was a bit surprised, a scene suddenly flashed in her mind of Nan Jiayan kissing her forehead, making her heart skip a beat, like being electrified.

Was she sick?

Listening to the gossip about He Qianyue and Ming Haize, she could actually picture herself in that scenario?

"So... what happened next?" Lu Shishu slightly shook her head to dismiss those thoughts and awkwardly asked.

"Well, I was quite angry at first, but then he suddenly confessed to me, leaving me completely dumbfounded."

"And are you together now?"

"Hmm... not exactly, but in general, things are much better than before. I haven’t agreed yet!"

"Well, that’s great! You two have really come out of the woods. He made you wait so long; now that he’s finally caught on, you should make him wait a good while too. Let him truly experience that kind of torment. Agreeing to him immediately would be too easy for him." Lu Shishu saw the smile on her face and felt happy and relieved for her. After all, so many years had passed, and they’ve finally arrived at this point; it’s not too late.
