Zhao Dong explained, "You have a misunderstanding about Sophie. She is not the kind of unreasonable person."
Meng Jiao smiled, "Then you mean, I am the kind of unreasonable person?"
"Zhao Dong, do you feel that I am like a resentful woman who blames everything and everyone every time we meet?"
Zhao Dong didn't know how to speak, "I'm sorry..."
Meng Jiao calmed down and pointed to the sofa, "If you are not in a hurry to go back, just sit down. We haven't had a good chat for a long time."
Zhao Dong nodded.
Meng Jiao picked up the disposable paper cup on the table and threw it directly into the trash can on the side.
If Zhao Dong guessed correctly, it should have been used by Xiao Ming just now.
Just as she was thinking about it, Meng Jiao turned around, changed a glass and filled it with hot water again, "I live alone and don't have any extra glasses."
"This is mine. If you don't mind it, you can make do with it."
After saying that, she folded her skirt and sat down opposite Zhao Dong.
Zhao Dong held the water glass and quickly calmed down.
Meng Jiao looked at Zhao Dong and sighed casually, "Zhao Dong, do you know what I hate most about you?"
Zhao Dong shook his head.
Meng Jiao opened her heart and said bluntly: "What I hate the most is when you tell me you're sorry, and you act like you owe me every time we meet!"
"I have never understood why you feel you owe me?"
"The reason why I help you is entirely out of my own will and has nothing to do with you."
"And when I helped you, I didn't expect anything in return from you, let alone trying to repay a favor."
"Yes, I admit it, I like you!"
"Even now, I have never forgotten you!"
"During this period, Xiao Ming was very good to me and pursued me. I also tried to give him a chance."
"But no, I simply can't do it. I don't want to deceive myself, let alone deceive his feelings."
"I said that in the box just now because I wanted to make you angry."
Zhao Dong nodded, his mood became more complicated.
After Meng Jiao started talking, she felt a lot more relaxed. She regained her sunshine and said, "Don't feel pressured. What I'm telling you doesn't mean that I haven't given up yet."
"When you moved away from Emperor Garden, I had already given up."
"You don't have to accept me, but you can't stop me from liking you. Am I right?"
Zhao Dong wanted to open his mouth, but was interrupted by Meng Jiao, "Don't try to persuade me. Whether I find another man or not, or whether I will meet a better man, that's my business."
"First of all, I didn't pester you, and secondly, I didn't destroy your family and marriage. Don't I even have the right to like a man silently?"
Zhao Dong said seriously, "But I don't deserve this!"
Meng Jiao shrugged, "Whether it's worth it or not is my business!"
Zhao Dong was silent for a moment. Meng Jiao was right. He had been covering up in front of Meng Jiao because he felt guilty.
Now that Meng Jiao took the initiative to talk, he felt much more relaxed.
In a light mood, Zhao Dong asked for the first time, "What do you like about me?"
Meng Jiao joked, "I'll tell you so you can change it, right?"
It was rare for Zhao Dong to be amused by her. This was the first time that the two of them had returned to their previous relationship since they separated from Diyuan.
Meng Jiao thought about it seriously, "To be honest, I don't know what I like about you."
"The first time you hugged me and helped me out of trouble, I already liked you, but at that time I wasn't sure and didn't dare to say it."
"It can be seen that you were disheartened and gave up on yourself. Your career and life were at a low point."
"I'm afraid that if I reveal my true feelings to you, I'll scare you away."
"It's a pity that fate plays tricks on people. Later when I wanted to express my feelings, Sophie got the better of me."
"To be honest, I was quite unconvinced at that time, because Sophie didn't like you at all at that time. Why should you let me let go because of that ridiculous night?"
"You should be able to feel that I took the initiative to give you a chance during that time. I just thought, if I gave you my first time, would I be able to tie with Sophie?"
Zhao Dong was silent. At that time, bumping into Sophie was like two lives being forcibly twisted together.
Life, career, family, and various concepts collide together.
Sophie looked down upon him in every possible way, and he was extremely unhappy with Sophie's temperament as a young lady.
In short, in just a few months, there were countless scars!
On the contrary, it was Meng Jiao who gave him warmth and sunshine time and time again.
He is not a piece of wood, so how could he not feel it?
Meng Jiao pulled away from her thoughts and sighed: "It's a pity that the two of us are still destined to be together."
"To tell the truth, I have been disappointed, hesitant, and self-denial, and I was even happy for a time!"
"I'm glad I didn't take that step with you at that time. If I had really done that at that time, what I got would not necessarily be pure love!"
"So, Zhao Dong, please don't say you're sorry in front of me in the future, okay? And don't feel like you owe me anything!"
"You will make me feel like a complete loser in front of Sophie!"
"You obviously gave everything you had, but you still ended up in a complete defeat!"
"I'm also a proud woman. Before I met you, I wouldn't even look at other men. I really don't like this feeling!"
Zhao Dong nodded seriously, "Okay, I understand, then I won't say anything anymore."
"But having said that, I am still relatively familiar with you now."
Meng Jiao smiled helplessly, "Humans always have to constantly adjust themselves and adapt."
"I also slowly looked away. You really don't know how I got through the most difficult period. Fortunately, everything is over."
As she spoke, Meng Jiao suddenly raised her head, "Zhao Dong, can I ask a question?"
Zhao Dong took a sip of water and said, "Say."
Meng Jiao looked hopeful, "Did you like me before?"
Zhao Dong hesitated, not knowing how to speak.
At that time, he had just experienced a failed relationship and was repeatedly hit by Shu Qing and Shu's mother.
Due to various reasons, my career was at its lowest ebb.
Meng Jiao was the only light he met at that time, giving him hope and the only warmth.
However, Zhao Dong was so disheartened at the time that he gave up on himself and did not have the courage to confess his feelings.
I definitely liked it at first, that’s for sure!?
If Sophie hadn't suddenly appeared, he might have really gotten together with Meng Jiao.?
Even the alienation at that time was just to let Meng Jiao get away in time and not to let her get hurt.
It's a pity that Zhao Dong still underestimated Meng Jiao's persistence in this relationship. Even if it has no beginning or end, even if there is no ending, he still chooses to fly into the flame.
So much so that later Meng Jiao was covered in bruises, which Zhao Dong never expected!?
But things have already happened, what can he do?
There is no other way but to be confused to the end, and to be ruthless to the end.
Because now there is only Sophie in his heart, and there is no room for others!
No matter whether Meng Jiao really lets go or is comforting herself.
Except for feelings, he is willing to give everything in return!
