Chapter 1314 "I Hope You Can Openly Admit that You Loved Me After All."

Yes, he understood. After learning the truth, he knew that he had completely lost the chance to win her back. If he continued to pester her as before, even he would despise himself.

He had no right to ask her to forget the hatred, let alone ask her to accept Mrs. Qiao as her mother - even if it was only a legal mother.

However, he still retained a trace of humble expectation, even if he was not qualified to say it out loud.

"You don't know what to say, so let me say it." His larynx slid up and down, as if these words were extremely difficult for him, "I'm sorry, I let you know everything without your permission. Just like the reason why you concealed it from me, I don't want everything that happened between us to be a taboo in your heart. I hope you can admit openly that you loved me after all."

Li Yinian suddenly felt her eyes hot, and she suddenly closed her eyes.

"And." Qiao Yanze couldn't help but put his hand on her face, "I'm sorry, for everything, although I know that no matter how many times I say sorry, I can't make up for it."

Li Yinian opened her eyes and looked at him: "Are you apologizing to me on behalf of your mother?"

Qiao Yanze shook his head and chuckled self-deprecatingly: "No, I'm apologizing for myself. You see, because of my childishness and immaturity, she was wary and decided to treat you like that. It was also because of my selfishness and self-righteousness that you endured so much alone. From this perspective, it's right for you to leave me."

Li Yinian bit his lip hard.

Childishness and immaturity... are they referring to the time when he and Mrs. Qiao expressed their intention to marry her?

"As for my mother... Whether you hate her or dislike her, I understand. In any case, I am not qualified to apologize to you on her behalf, let alone beg for your forgiveness." The man laughed hoarsely, "Of course, I don't expect you to let go of your hatred for her for me."

Li Yinian lowered his eyes: "But you want me to do this."

Qiao Yanze paused and said hoarsely: "My thoughts are not important. The decision is in your hands. I will never force you."

Li Yinian did not speak for a long time.

The end of her gaze was the man's slightly heaving chest, which was enough to show his nervousness-he still held a glimmer of hope after all.

In her impression, this man has always been evil and willful. What attracted her was the teasing and indifference to the world in his eyes, but she didn't know where it came from. The cynical laziness of the man disappeared, his eyes became deep, his temperament became sharp, and he rarely smiled carelessly.

And at this moment, he lowered his posture without a bottom line, as if waiting for trial.

Li Yinian suddenly felt as if her heart was being clenched by a big hand, and the extreme pain made her curl up involuntarily.

From the beginning to the end, Qiao Yanze laid his heart naked in front of her. Whether she discarded it like a rag or trampled on it casually, he never backed down.

She believed that if she nodded, he would do his best to protect her and be with her regardless of any obstacles.

But she was already afraid. Fate was so tyrannical and cruel. She had been tortured and scarred. She didn't know how to go on with him, let alone go back to the past.
