Chapter 144: I’m Sorry, I Almost Missed You
Thinking of all the things he had done for her.
He stepped in when she got into fights, when Bo Chengxin bullied her and she hid in a hotel to cry, it was him who first found her and made her laugh.
Not only did he stand up for her, but he even spent fifty million to buy a Calabash doll to cheer her up.
He helped her to cheat on exams and, on their wedding day, he indulged her unwarranted arrogance and provocation.
He personally served her breakfast and helped her put on her shoes.
When she wanted to call off the wedding, even though he lost his temper, he never called off the ceremony.
In truth, Miss Gu, you were always the naughty one, weren’t you?
In truth, Mr. Di was always ready to tolerate you, wasn’t he?
In truth, perhaps his way of speaking was harsh. Not because he is naturally like that, but merely because he was bad at expressing himself or who knows, maybe that’s just his way.
In truth, Miss Gu, Mr. Di has done a lot for you, right?
In truth, despite all that you’ve done, he hasn’t killed you. He said he couldn’t bear it. Shouldn’t you actually be secretly pleased?
Gu Qibao’s heart was somewhat touched. All those past events were replaying in her mind.
Hugging him, Gu Qibao obediently rested on his body. He smelled so good—it was the fragrance of his shower gel, fresh and icy, yet his chest was exceptionally warm, which was incredibly comforting.
After a while, Gu Qibao spoke, "I’m sorry."
I’m sorry, I almost missed you.
I almost missed out on someone who may seem bad, but is actually very good.
I’m sorry, I once saw your efforts as domineering possession.
But now I know that this domineering possession is your way of expressing love.
"Idiot." Di Mingjue scolded her, but hugged her tightly.
"So, you’re not mad at me anymore, right?" Gu Qibao lifted her head to look at him.
The man’s eyes were filled with pride, but beneath them lay a trace of tenderness, so deep.
"Take a guess." Di Mingjue raised an eyebrow and knocked on her head, looking somewhat embarrassed.
Gu Qibao clutched her head. "I, I can’t guess."
In reality, it didn’t hurt at all when he knocked her.
"As expected, you are dull." Di Mingjue was still as sharp-tongued as ever but, in the next second, he gently picked her up and moved her to the other side, saying, "If I were really mad at you, I wouldn’t be sharing a bed with you."
Gu Qibao giggled. Her eyes sparkled as she laughed, looking just like an adorable little hamster.
Her laughter made Di Mingjue’s heart soften. It felt as though he had a small, adorable creature that he just wanted to squeeze, but was afraid of hurting her.
After she voluntarily kissed his lips, she cheerfully said, "Let’s sleep, honey."
Di Mingjue’s heart was a complete mess, full of warmth. She was such a talented charmer!
He felt an irresistible attachment to her whenever he thought about her being in love with him. Could this be love?
If it weren’t, why would his heart feel so sweet?
So, he concluded that this must be love.
However, as the third young master of the Di family, he still felt unsure. Although happy, this feeling arrived so unexpectedly that he felt somewhat unsettled.
He quietly watched Gu Qibao who had her eyes closed. Her exquisite face was like a porcelain doll. She was so young, not even twenty yet.
So tender and beautiful that one would love to hold her in one’s palm and caress her. He observed her just like that, as if she were a precious object. He didn’t want to divert his eyes even for a second.
At this moment, he knew for sure that he liked her.
He liked her laughter, her mischief, her weirdness, her submissiveness, her haughty pose. How could he love her so much?
