Chapter 631: Only Love You
Listening to Meng Zhi’s compliments, Shi Nuan couldn’t help but blush, but she quickly regained her composure and earnestly spoke, “I’ve only ever liked you. There’s been no one else.”
Meng Zhi paused, then, coming back to his senses, he gently patted Shi Nuan’s back and laughed, “It’s okay, Nuannuan. You don’t have to hide it from me. Even if there were others you liked, it wouldn’t matter as long as you only like me now.”
Shi Nuan felt somewhat helpless, “I really have only ever liked you. The heartbreak I experienced six years ago was also because of you.”
Meng Zhi looked bewildered, “Because of me?”
Shi Nuan nodded, “Yes.”
Since childhood, Shi Nuan had been close friends with Gu Dai, often visiting her home where she encountered her three cousins. Among them, she liked Meng Zhi the most, but due to her shyness at the time, she never dared to speak to him.
She had always thought she merely saw Meng Zhi as an elder brother until one day, while dining with a friend, she encountered Meng Zhi’s friend.
They mentioned that Meng Zhi had an engagement arranged and would eventually live together with his fiancee, creating their own family.
At that moment, Shi Nuan felt a tightness in her chest and a sour sensation deep inside, and she suddenly realized her feelings for Meng Zhi.
Meng Zhi froze, “An engagement?”
Shi Nuan nodded, her expression somber, “I even saw you talking to her, looking very close.”
Meng Zhi’s brow furrowed, a memory flashing through his mind. He quickly pulled out his phone, opened the photo album, and after searching for a while, handed it to Shi Nuan, asking softly, “Is this the girl you’re talking about?”
Shi Nuan looked at the phone.
The girl in the photo wore a white long dress, holding a bouquet of flowers with a bright smile that would cheer anyone up.
At first glance, Shi Nuan recognized her, nodding, “Yes, that’s her. Although it’s been six years, she’s very beautiful. I remembered her from just one look, and over the years, she’s only grown from youthful to mature without much change.”
After saying this, Shi Nuan suddenly realized something and looked at Meng Zhi with curiosity, “Didn’t you say she wasn’t your marriage partner? Then why are you still in touch after all these years?”
Meng Zhi laughed lightly, “Indeed, she’s not my marriage partner, and if I truly had one, how could I date you without considering your feelings?”
Shi Nuan nodded, “That makes sense… But if she’s not your marriage partner, then who is she?”
Meng Zhi replied, “Her name is Zhao Tao, and she’s my cousin.”
Shi Nuan was stunned, “Cousin?”
Meng Zhi nodded, “Yes, she’s a relative from my mother’s side.”
After saying this, he pulled up Zhao Tao’s contact information.
Seeing Meng Zhi about to press the call button, Shi Nuan quickly reached out to stop him, asking frantically, “What are you doing?”
Meng Zhi responded, “I want to call her to confirm our relationship.”
Hearing this, Shi Nuan, terrified, shook her head vigorously, “No, no, no, that can’t happen!”
She then covered her face and said, “I mistook your cousin for a marriage partner. How embarrassing! You mustn’t tell anyone!”
Meng Zhi nodded repeatedly, “Okay, I won’t tell anyone.”
Relieved by Meng Zhi’s promise, Shi Nuan let out a sigh of relief.
As Shi Nuan calmed down, Meng Zhi said, “The misunderstanding about the marriage partner was my friend’s fault, not yours.”
Hearing this, Shi Nuan completely relaxed and nodded in agreement, “That’s right!”
Watching Shi Nuan agree so meekly, Meng Zhi was moved. He gently placed his hand on the back of her head and slowly leaned in to kiss her lips. After the brief kiss, he whispered, “Nuannuan, racing used to be my greatest love, but now, you are the only one in my heart.”
Meng Zhi professed, “Nuannuan, I love you.”
As Shi Nuan listened to Meng Zhi, her eyes grew misty, and she couldn’t help moving closer to his lips.
Just then, the car window was tapped.
Shi Nuan instinctively turned her head and saw her parents standing outside, prompting her to exclaim in shock and push Meng Zhi away, “Why are my parents here? They didn’t see us, did they?”
Meng Zhi tucked Shi Nuan’s stray hair behind her ear and reassured her, “No, they can’t see inside from the outside.”
Relieved, Shi Nuan checked her reflection in the mirror to ensure everything was in order before confidently exiting the car..
