The Year of Lihua: She Was Reborn

Chapter 226 Sudden Confession

Xuzhi's eyes were always on Hua Ye's face, and his red eyes made him feel pity.

"How about leaving for Kyoto right away?"

He stood up and asked softly.

"This... I haven't thought about it yet!"

Hua Ye seemed to be in some discomfort. He paused for a few seconds as if he was speechless, before his expression relaxed and he spoke in a calm tone.

Xu Zhi felt a little sad when he saw Hua Ye's expression, and he didn't know how to comfort him. After all, for them, the capital was a strange and distant place.

"Whether you go to Kyoto or not is up to you."

Xuzhi sighed and said.

"I know, but I still need some time to think about it."

Hua Ye frowned and said hesitantly.

"Yeah, okay. But no matter what, I will always support you. If you need help or advice, you can always tell me."

Xuzhi patted Hua Ye's shoulder and said encouragingly.

"Thank you, Xuzhi. If it weren't for you, I really don't know what to do."

Hua Ye looked at Xu Zhi with gratitude, tears glistening in his eyes.

"You're welcome, Ye'er!"

Xu Zhi replied with a smile.

Just like that, Hua Ye fell into deep thought, while Xu Zhi and others stood by silently, waiting for her to make the final decision.

Zuo Nian seemed to have a clear understanding of the situation and spoke without restraint.

"Is the child's father going too? Hasn't he ever thought about marrying you?"

He looked at Hua Ye with clear and firm eyes and asked, and his eyes occasionally glanced at Xu Zhi's figure, and the implication of his words was particularly obvious.

Xuzhi then started to think about the marriage again, and his changeable face became gloomy again.

"It depends on his intention. You can't force feelings..."

Hua Ye sat down again and answered directly.

Her tone and expression were very calm, as if she was talking about something insignificant.

But her heart was not as calm as she appeared. She knew that her feelings for Xu Zhi were not that simple, but she also understood that there were too many problems and obstacles between them.

After hearing Hua Ye's words, Xu Zhi felt a little disappointed.

He originally thought that Hua Ye would change her attitude towards him because of her pregnancy, but he didn't expect that she was still the same: she didn't want him to propose marriage.

Zuo Yun noticed her melancholy and didn't know how to comfort Hua Ye. He could only sit silently by the side, looking at her beautiful and stubborn profile.

Xu Zhi, on the other hand, stood there with a gloomy face, his heart filled with complicated emotions.

On the one hand, Zuo Yun felt that he should not give up pursuing Hua Ye easily, but on the other hand, he felt that he did not have enough courage and confidence to face her.

He began to doubt whether he really liked Hua Ye, or was just attracted by her beauty and talent...

"Miss Hua, don't you know how I feel about you? If you're willing, we can get married right away and raise our children together!"

Zuo Yun suddenly spoke to break the silence. His voice was a little excited and his eyes revealed a hint of anticipation.

Hua Ye frowned slightly, looked up at Zuo Yun, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

She had never thought that Zuo Yun would confess to her so directly, and for a moment she didn't know how to respond.

"Master Zuo, I know you're good to me, but relationships can't be forced. I hope you can respect my choice."

Hua Ye sighed softly, turned his gaze to the window, with a hint of helplessness in his voice.

Zuo Yun's face turned pale in an instant. He clenched his fists tightly and tried hard to control his emotions.

He took a deep breath and said slowly: "Miss Hua, I know I have done many things that disappointed you before, but I really like you. I am willing to change myself for you. As long as you give me a chance, I will definitely not let you down!"

Hua Ye turned his head and looked at Xu Zhi quietly, with hesitation and struggle in his eyes.

She knew that she did not have no feelings for Xu Zhi, but she was also well aware of the gap and problems between them.

"Master Zuo, I need some time to think about this. So many things have happened recently, and I need some time to sort myself out. Please give me some space and time, okay?"

Hua Ye said softly, with a hint of fatigue in his tone.

Zuo Yun nodded. He knew he couldn't push too hard, or it would only make Hua Ye more disgusted. He nodded silently, then turned and left the room.

As the door gently closed, the room fell into silence. Hua Ye closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair, unable to calm down for a long time.

Xu Zhi was even more angry but dared not say anything, he stood aside with a gloomy face...
