Zhuo Qianyun froze and looked at Ye Wenming with a puzzled face.
"I just want to know... whether you're willing to trust me again? Will you believe every word I say?"
"Does it matter whether I trust you or not?" Zhuo Qianyun asked flatly.
"Yes," he said with great certainty.
Zhuo Qianyun said, "Okay then. I trust you. I trust that you’ll do as you promised. Just like how we got a marriage license after you agreed to marry me. You also agreed to divorce me in the future, so I reckon you’ll keep your word then as well.”
Ye Wenming's heart that had just felt joy sank again.
One moment, he was happy that she said she trusted him. However, he felt as if he had been sent to hell the next moment.
"Do you believe I love you, then?" Ye Wenming asked with trembling lips.
Zhuo Qianyun looked at him with some shock. It was as if she was wondering why he had suddenly brought this up again.
Just then, the staff member handling their birth permission certificate called Zhuo Qianyun to collect the certificate.
Zhuo Qianyun hurriedly got up and took the birth permission certificate. She said to Ye Wenming, "Alright, let's go."
She had only taken two steps when he suddenly grasped her arm. "You haven't answered my question."
Ye Wenming quickly ran in front of Zhuo Qianyun, stopped her, and said, "Qianyun, I know it's hard for you to trust me again after all that I've done. I do feel guilty and regretful to you. But I didn’t fall in love with you because of this. I’ve loved you from the very beginning."
Zhuo Qianyun only looked at him silently. Though he spoke lovingly, nothing stirred in her heart.
Ye Wenming's mouth filled with bitterness, and he finally said something he had never told her before. "You know what? It was... love at first sight."
Yes. When he first met her, he felt as if something had struck him as she stood there and smiled.
However, when he first approached her, he knew she was the target of his revenge and the daughter of his enemy. Hence, the more he loved her, the more he kept repressing his feelings.
