Chapter 785 I Don’t Want Better, I Just Want You (22)

"So, He Jichen... you still want to be with me, right?"

As Ji Yi finished speaking, He Jichen, who had been staring out the floor-to-ceiling window in front of her since she started speaking, became a little dazed.

She said that she liked him, and she had liked him since a long time ago.

She said she missed the days when he was with her.

She also said that she tricked him to come here tonight because she wanted to propose to him.

This is probably a scene that he has never dreamed of in his life.

How much he wanted to reply to her: Yes, I want to be with you.

But the words rolled in his chest thousands of times, and every time they reached his lips, he swallowed them alive.

He couldn't say it, because he knew too well what it meant when he nodded and agreed to her.

It means that the pointing fingers of the three girls in the Red Plum Garden tonight will also happen to her.

By that time, when others talk about Ji Yi, they will no longer have the beautiful titles of "Queen of Ratings" and "Nation's First Love" as they are now, but "the murderer's wife" and "her husband has killed someone before."

She was the girl he had seen so many times when he was young and whom he had fallen in love with since then.

She made him learn how to love someone deeply from liking someone but not knowing how to like someone.

He spent a lot of effort and energy to make her become as beautiful as she wanted.

How could he bear to tarnish these beautiful things of hers with his own hands?

It wasn't until this moment that He Jichen realized that it wasn't the most painful thing when the person you loved didn't love you back. The most painful thing was that you couldn't convince yourself to be with her even though you were in love with her.

Really can't do it.

Although what she just said touched him very much, even though he could clearly see that his heart had been completely shaken.

But he still couldn't do it.

If she couldn't do it, let her be burdened with rumors and rumors that she shouldn't be burdened with because of He Jichen.

He Jichen, who was immersed in his thoughts, felt a lightness on his back. He lowered his head and saw Ji Yi loosening her arms around his waist.

There was a rustling sound behind him, and soon, Ji Yi's hand stretched out in front of him.

On her fingertips, she held a diamond ring. Under the light, the diamond glowed dazzlingly.

"He Jichen, I have been choosing this ring for a long time. Isn't it beautiful?"

"Look inside, I even had someone carve a word on it. It's the word "Ji"..."

While Ji Yi was talking, He Jichen actually saw the word "Ji" on the inside of the ring.

He Jichen's throat seemed to be blocked by something. He was so uncomfortable that he wanted to swallow, but he couldn't do this simple action.

Ji Yi, who was sitting behind He Jichen, stood up, walked around him, and stood in front of him.

After taking off her shoes, she was much shorter than him. When she looked at him, she had to raise her head.

The crystal lamp in the living room was just above her head, and the light fell on her eyes, giving off fragments of light.

She looked at him with eyes that were full of piety. She pursed her lips slightly before speaking: "He Jichen, you..."

He Jichen seemed to have guessed what Ji Yi was going to say next. Before she could finish speaking, he reflexively intercepted her words: "Xiao Yi, you deserve better."

Ji Yi stopped saying "Will you marry me?" that was about to come out of her mouth. She was silent for two seconds and replied softly: "But something better is not what I want."

"I don't want better, I just want you."
