Chapter 1239: Please Stop Turning Me Down

He poured two gla.s.ses of red wine and pa.s.sed one gla.s.s to her.

The strong scent of alcohol quickly reached her nose.

She took a deep breath and felt a little dazed. She was still thinking about what she should do if he was truly going to transfer his a.s.sets to her.

After all, they were…

She couldn’t define their relations.h.i.+p.

“Why don’t you take one gla.s.s?” he asked with a smile.

He sensed that Yan Yan was gradually starting to open up to him and at least she was willing to interact with him.

She accepted the gla.s.s from him and raised her gla.s.s and tilted at him before she took a sip.

The red wine was delicious and she guessed that it was probably a top-notch Lafite-Rothschild.

“You…”

She looked up at him and saw the hope in his eyes and the soft smile that danced on his lips.

He put his hands on her shoulders and pulled her into his embrace.

He gripped her shoulders tightly, as though he was afraid that she would push him away.

“Yan Yan…” Ye Hao’s voice was soft and husky and she could smell the wine on his breath as he buried his face into her neck. “Please stop turning me down, would you?”

She instinctively stiffened and her eyes suddenly widened. She blinked at him in confusion and something quickly flashed past in her mind. She turned to look at him after a while and tried to push him away when she heard him say softly, “Did you know that it has been nine years? I’ve been waiting for you all this time to accept my feelings. I love you, I truly do.”

She bit her lips and her heart skipped a beat at his sudden confession. She took a deep breath and she looked conflicted and uneasy until the lamplight.

She could even feel her breath quicken.

“Ye Hao…” she said softly.

He hummed softly and reached out to pull her into his embrace and held her tightly.

He knew how conflicted and hesitant she was but he didn’t know how else to get her to open her heart to him. He had waited so long that he feared that they would never be able to get back together in this lifetime.

“Yan Yan, return to my side. I will love you very much. Don’t worry, I promise I would never do anything to hurt you,” he said as he made this promise in front of her. He knew the mistakes he had made in the past and he regretted his actions terribly. He had always hoped to be able to make this up to her. He felt that the Heavens had sent her to him but he had ended up losing her because of his own actions, so he had been waiting for her to accept him all these years.

Different expressions flitted across her face and soon, her face turned red.

She blinked rapidly and her heart raced.

This wasn’t the first time she had heard him make such an emotional confession. He had done it over text message and in person but this time, his confession made her heart race.

She suddenly felt something wet on her next.

She knew that he was crying and she was surprised that he had cried.

Her heart beat even faster. Tears formed in her eyes as she blinked and her heart suddenly clenched in pain.

Oh well, she should let go of all her pain and sorrow. Life was too short, so she was lucky to have met someone who would be true to her. Although this man had many shortcomings, she knew that his feelings for her had never changed.
