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: "I hate it the most 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 kept hiding it in front of Meng Jiao because of his deep gratitude.
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."
