Chapter 328
"Huo Jian Sheng raised an eyebrow and said, 'Do you think I'm joking?'
All along, they had been in a relationship that was more than friends but less than lovers. They had feelings for each other, but neither of them had confessed.
Now, Huo Jian Sheng finally broke the ice, leaving Li Man with a surreal feeling.
She couldn't understand why someone as outstanding as Huo Jian Sheng would be interested in her. He had so much going for him and was still unmarried. He could easily find a young and beautiful girl. There was no need for him to pursue a divorced woman like her.
'I've been married,' Li Man emphasized.
'I know,' he replied.
'I have a child,' Li Man stressed again.
Huo Jian Sheng frowned, puzzled, and asked, 'What does that have to do with me liking you?'
Li Man countered, 'Why does it not matter?'
'Why should it matter?'
'It matters a lot. Others will look at you with judgmental eyes.'
Huo Jian Sheng sneered and said, 'I only know that I like you and want to be with you. As for what others think, why should I care?'
Li Man pouted in dissatisfaction. 'You're so selfish!'
Huo Jian Sheng carefully observed Li Man and noticed that she had gained some weight. Although her complexion was somewhat pale, she wasn't ugly at all. 'You're not ugly.'
Li Man rolled her eyes. 'Am I just not ugly?'
Huo Jian Sheng quickly added, 'You're very beautiful!'
Li Man glared at him and said angrily, 'You're not sincere at all.'
Huo Jian Sheng sighed, 'How am I not sincere?'
'You don't talk like this!' Li Man exclaimed in exasperation."
"Then what should I say?" Huo Jian Sheng blinked his innocent eyes, feeling that women were truly troublesome.
"You're just trying to brush me off!"
Huo Jian Sheng quickly responded, "I'm really not brushing you off. I genuinely think you're beautiful."
"Where am I beautiful?"
Huo Jian Sheng replied, "You're beautiful everywhere."
Li Man's face instantly turned red as she glared at him. "Rogue!"
Huo Jian Sheng looked puzzled. These days, confessing to a girl made him a rogue? It had been a while since he had been in a relationship, and he genuinely didn't know how to approach love nowadays.
