"I thought I was the first person to see you. It turned out that you had already come back. You didn't know to inform me when you came back. It really made me so sad."
After listening to my answer, Murong Ze's face became a little disappointed, pretended to be lost and looked at me, with a faint smile on his face.
"I met Xiao Mo because of work. Even if we didn't happen to meet here today, I'm going to contact you in a few days, but we just happened to meet before we had time."
Looking at his lost face, I reluctantly shook my head. He still has the same personality as a year ago.
"So you still remember me. I thought you had forgotten me long ago."
After hearing what I said, he showed a smile that he thought was very charming, and his mood seemed to become good.
"How could I forget you? You are one of my best friends."
I smiled at her and couldn't help joking.
After chatting with him for a while, it was getting dark. Because I didn't drive, he took the initiative to send me back to my apartment.
I didn't refuse. A year ago, I think his feelings for me should have changed, so I don't want to hide from him as before.
Along the way, he asked me many questions, mostly about why I left a year ago and why I was willing to leave my children.
I avoid answering all these questions, because I don't want to recall these things. The painful past has passed, and I don't want to affect my mood now.
After a comfortable bath in the bathroom, I fell asleep in bed. There are too many things to deal with every day in the past few days after returning home. I haven't had a good rest.
The next night, I came to the restaurant booked by Chen Nan. He said he had something to tell me. Since he had promised, he came anyway.
When I came to a high-end restaurant, a couple's restaurant, I was a little tangled about whether to go in. I always felt that it was inappropriate for us to eat in such a place.
I know what he thinks of me, but I don't want to be with him at all. I vaguely think what he wants to say today may be something I don't want to hear.
Just as I was struggling to turn around and leave, my mobile phone rang. It was Chen Nan.
"Peace of mind, haven't you arrived for so long?"
It's estimated that Chen Nan told me that I hadn't arrived so late and called to urge me.
"I've reached the door. I'll go in right away."
I withdrew my thoughts and went into the restaurant.
Chen Nan chose a window seat. It's relatively quiet there. I like quiet.
When he saw me coming in, he smiled, "you came so late. I thought you were going to stand me up."
Chen Nan smiled faintly, and his tone was very gentle.
"I promised to come. How could I stand you up? Am I such a dishonest person?"
I looked at him faintly and opened my mouth with dissatisfaction.
Chen Nan didn't speak any more. At this time, he turned and directly picked up a large bunch of roses from the nearby chair and handed them to me.
"For you."
Chen Nan looked at me gently with a smile in his eyes.
Fiery red roses look beautiful and charming.
However, the meaning of men sending women roses has been obvious, and my heart suddenly became confused.
I looked at Chen Nan, a little flustered, "what do you mean?"
I didn't take the rose, because everyone knew what the rose represented. I began to regret that I promised to have dinner with Chen Nan today.
"Peace of mind, in fact, I asked you out today. I have something to tell you."
After hearing my words, Chen Nan's face became serious. He looked into my eyes. His eyes glittered and seemed a little nervous.
"Chen... Chen Nan, otherwise we'd better have dinner first. It's so late. I'm already hungry."
I had guessed what he would say next, but I didn't want to hear it, so I instinctively wanted to change the topic.
"Peace of mind, I'll just say a few words. Will you wait until I'm finished?"
Chen Nan frowned slightly and didn't swallow what he said because I changed the topic.
I lowered my head and didn't look at him. At the moment, I was confused about how to refuse. I knew my heart very well. I thought maybe I could try to accept Chen Nan, but I found that there was no room for any man in my heart except Xiao mo.
Although Chen Nan is equally excellent, I don't know why. I just don't like him between men and women. I just regard him as a friend and partner.
"Peace of mind, I have been by your side for the past year. I have witnessed your growth. I know how difficult it is for you to come to this step. I also know that your only idea now is to let your children return to you, but you are a woman and you also need men to love and protect, don't you?"
Chen Nan looked into my eyes and said these words. He was silent for a moment.
Facing his confession, my heart trembled fiercely. I don't know how to refuse, let alone how to respond.
"I know you are very tired now, and I love what you look like now, so be my woman, let me take care of you, protect you, and even leave everything you want your children to come back to you to me. I can do it."
Chen Nan's words are very affectionate. No woman will not be moved when she hears such words, and so will I.
I am very grateful to Chen Nan. I think I am a divorced woman who has given birth to children. It is my blessing to let him really pay, but I can't be with him. The relationship between us can only be friends and partners.
"Chen Nan, you shouldn't say these words. It's not suitable for us to say these words."
I lowered my head and whispered a reminder.
Originally, I wanted to escape, but he has said it, so I have no reason to continue to escape.
"No, I should have said these words a long time ago. I should have pursued you a year ago instead of waiting until now. Originally, I wanted to tell you these things until you achieved your goal, but I'm a little uneasy now. I'm worried that I won't say it again. I'm not sure about the relationship between you and me. I don't know when we can't be together anymore."
The first time I saw Chen Nan's unconfident eyes, my eyes flashed. His present appearance made me feel a little bored.
I've always known what he meant to me, but I never refused. Now I regret it. I think I should have made it clear to him at the beginning, but now, in the face of his confession, I can only refuse ruthlessly.
"Sorry, Chen Nan, I have regarded you as my friend for a while. I never wanted to change our relationship, so I can't..."
