"Yeah, Xia Qingwei was lucky to meet Wang Juhuai, or else she would be miserable."

"Yeah, that means that our boss is still very dependable."

No matter what these employees said.

In the office, Jiang Huaizhou did not want to let go of Dong Yujie's hand. Worried, he asked, "Yujie, now that you're back, you don't have to leave, right?"

"I'm not leaving," said Dong Yujie, "I just found out that Dad and Mom divorced when I came back."

Jiang Huaizhou said anxiously, "When Mom brought this up to me, I didn't oppose it, I even supported it."

"It's selfish of me to make Dad and Mom go through such misfortune when they're already at this age, but I want to be selfish this time," said Jiang Huaizhou, "Because I know that if I do this, things will get better for both of us."

How could she blame him?

Dong Yujie was grateful to her parents in her heart.

Grateful for their help.

How could she blame Jiang Huaizhou?

After saying this, Dong Yujie was going to get even with him.

"Why did you say that you're an only son, you didn't even mention me." said Dong Yujie, "Did you forget about your younger sister?"

"You're not my younger sister," Jiang Huaizhou smiled after saying this.

"Although everyone knows that I'm an only son, I still mentioned you," Jiang Huaizhou smiled and said.

Seeing that Dong Yujie looked over, Jiang Huaizhou smiled and explained, "I told the others that I have a girlfriend but she's out of town and would return after a year."

Dong Yujie also realized that Jiang Huaizhou told Qu Mengyu the same thing just now.

"You…." Dong Yujie tried to pull her hand away but failed.It seemed like Jiang Huaizhou would not let go without getting a definite answer from her.

Dong Yujie took a deep breath. Her face was starting to get pale. "You know about my past, right?"

Jiang Huaizhou tightened his grip and said, "I know."

He didn't say what it was because he was afraid that Dong Yujie would not be comfortable.

The reason she went away for a year was to throw her past away completely.

Jiang Huaizhou was afraid that if he brought it up, it would hurt Dong Yujie, causing her to hide away again.

"But I have never minded," said Jiang Huaizhou, "That's just a short period of your past. If it was someone else who was in different situations from you, who hasn't had a few relationships before?"

"Others don't even mind their girlfriends' past relationships, then why should I mind yours?" said Jiang Huaizhou.

Furthermore, who did Dong Yujie do all that for?

It was all because of him!

If he disliked her because of this, then what was he?

But he did not dare to say that.

He was afraid that if he said it, Dong Yujie would misunderstand and think that he did it as he owed her a favor.

Jiang Huaizhou thought about it carefully.

But if he did not say, it did not mean that Dong Yujie would not ask.

Dong Yujie was suspicious. "To be honest, do you not even feel a little bit guilty because of what I did for you, so you persist and want to be together with me."

"You say that you like me but in reality, it's because of guilt and gratitude, that's why you want to take care of me. You're scared that I won't accept you if that's the case, that's why you're telling me that you like me," Dong Yujie fidgeted as she looked at Jiang Huaizhou.

She liked Jiang Huaizhou, and she was sure that Jiang Huaizhou liked her.

However, she was afraid that there was a thorn in their feelings.action

At first, the thorn in their feelings was not obvious, and they could tolerate that slight pain.

But after a long time, it would hurt more and would be unbearable.

It would be a matter of time before conflicts arose.

And she was afraid of this.

Jiang Huaizhou liked her but at the same time, he felt guilt and gratitude.

This kind of feeling contained too many uncertain factors.

Jiang Huaizhou put on a serious expression and said, "I won't make an irresponsible decision like this just because of guilt and gratitude."

"Yujie, I like you. I've liked you since we were young. I just couldn't say it back then, and could only bury my feelings deep in my heart. I couldn't ruin you. Besides, you were still young back then."

"When I was still in school, I liked you. I was conflicted, knowing that I couldn't like you back then. So, even if someone pursued you, I had no right to stop him. However, I still didn't like others pursuing you."

"I still couldn't control myself. When I found out there were boys who had feelings for you, I would stop them. Even after graduating, my friend liked you, and I was furious."

"I could only keep these thoughts in my heart. I didn't dare to tell you, and I became even more certain that I shouldn't tell you after I got into trouble. After all, how could I let you be with someone who has a criminal record?"

"But unexpectedly, you're still so dumb and save me no matter what the consequences are." Jiang Huaizhou's eyes turned red. "You said that I feel guilty and grateful to you. I admit that."

"However, that emotions are different from what I'm feeling for you. I am sure that I like you not because of gratitude or guilt. I am sure that I will not regret this decision in the future, saying that I mistook my guilt and gratitude as my feelings for you."

"If I just feel grateful and guilty towards you, I can still take care of you as an older brother. Even if I take care of you for your whole life as your older brother, that won't be a problem, right?" said Jiang Huaizhou.

"I understand my own feelings. I know it so well that if I have even a little bit of uncertainty or hesitation in my feelings for you, I will choose not to tell you that I like you and hurt you."

"Let's not talk about other things. You're my savior. If I said I like you to return the favor, it's not returning the favor, it's returning your kindness with unkindness. There are many ways to return a favor. If I am uncertain about my own feelings, then I can take care of you as my younger sister. One day, I will surely know whether my feelings for you are enough to make me ignore those things completely."

"If you're still suspicious about my feelings, I'm telling you that I will just like you. Won't I be just playing with your heart if I tell you that I like you when I'm not sure about my feelings and hurt you?"

"If I dare to tell you, that's because I'm sure that I like you. I know that I won't mind your past at all."

"Yujie, if you like me, can you give me a chance and accept me?" said Jiang Huaizhou earnestly.

Dong Yujie thought that what Jiang Huaizhou said was reasonable.

If it was purely out of gratitude and guilt, he could still take her as his younger sister, even if it was for a lifetime.

He did not need to say that he liked her.

He would also not risk confessing to her if he was unsure of his feelings for her
