At that moment, Cheng Ziming sat down beside me.
His cool voice echoed throughout the restaurant, "Today is a family gathering, everyone feel free."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone picked up their chopsticks.
I nervously tugged at the hem of my dress.
I wanted to explain what had just happened.
But Cheng Ziming didn’t look at me.
He picked up his chopsticks and placed a piece of shrimp in my bowl, saying, "Give it a try."
A wave of bitterness washed over me.
Did he think I still had lingering feelings for Cheng He?
Or was he simply offering me food out of kindness?
Regardless of which it was, I felt sad.
Because in my past life, he had never done anything like this for me.
I gently took hold of Cheng Ziming's hand.
His body stiffened.
The look in his eyes held a hint of curiosity.
I took a deep breath and confessed, "Zi Ming, I have no relationship with Cheng He."
"It was my folly that led me to fall for him."
"But now, I have come to my senses."
"The person I love is you."
Cheng Ziming was momentarily taken aback.
A glimmer of light flashed in his dark eyes.
But soon, the mood darkened again.
He seemed unable to believe that I would suddenly change my mind.
After all, in my previous life, I had embarrassed him countless times.
Let alone loving him.
Even speaking an extra word to him felt bothersome.
Now, suddenly confessing my feelings seemed quite unrealistic.
Just as I was about to give up, my phone suddenly buzzed with a notification.
I looked down and saw a message from an unknown number.
“Tang Jiahui, don’t forget your task.”
“Pour the water on Cheng Ziming’s face later.”
“Haha, I can’t wait to see him make a fool of himself.”
The tone of the message resembled that of Cheng He.
But I couldn't be sure.
After all, there were too many people who wanted to see us humiliated.
I clenched my phone in anger.
Just as I was about to look up and explain, I noticed Cheng Ziming’s expression was gloomy.
His thin lips were pressed tightly together, and his gaze towards me was filled with hurt.
“Jia Hui, can we just let it go today?”
“I have a video conference later.”
“Tomorrow, I promise you can do whatever you want.”
A wave of bitterness surged in my heart.
In my past life, I was consumed by love.
My mind was solely focused on Cheng He.
I never noticed the good in Cheng Ziming at all.
Now I realize how exceptional a man he truly is.
I can’t believe I let him down!
Thinking of this, I took a deep breath to calm myself.
Then I turned off my phone and lifted my glass.
“Ziming, happy birthday.”
Cheng Ziming was clearly taken aback.
He seemed surprised that I would suddenly change my mind.
After all, every time I saw him before, I would mock him coldly.
But today, I—
“Jia Hui, you—” he hesitated.
I smiled slightly. “Ziming, don’t you believe me?”
“Or do you not want to receive my love?”
Cheng Ziming looked at me, confusion evident in his eyes.
“Jia Hui, do you really love me?”
I nodded. “Yes.”
“Although I know you probably won’t believe me right away.”
"But I will prove my love through actions."
"Now, I have a wish."
"Can you promise me?"
Cheng Ziming fell silent for a moment.
In the end, he nodded in agreement.
"Come out with me tomorrow."
"I remember you said before that you love racing the most."
"Coincidentally, I'm free tomorrow. How about we go together?"
As soon as the words left my mouth, Cheng Ziming's ears suddenly turned red.
His voice became hoarse as he replied, "Okay."
Immediately after, he tightly grasped my hand.
His warmth seeped through my skin.
In that instant, my heart raced.
I received a text message.
[Tang Jiahui, pour the red wine on Cheng Ziming's face.]
[Make him embarrassed.]
[Hahaha, I can't wait.]
