Chapter 1699: She Was the Less Confident in Front of Him

Many people thought that Qiao Chen had a good personality and was gentle and polite to everyone.

He seemed to care about everyone.

But in fact, he was just being nice.

Very few people could enter his heart and make him care about them.

Before Shen Xin, there was only Qiao Mianmian.

Even Father Qiao didn’t hold much of a place in his heart.

He wouldn’t waste any time on someone he didn’t care about.

Shen Xin was shocked speechless. Her eyes widened and looked at him blankly.

She looked a little silly.

She looked at Qiao Chen blankly for a while before murmuring, “Qiao Chen, so I didn’t misunderstand. Is this... a confession?”

Qiao Chen kept quiet for a while before nodding. “...I guess.”

Shen Xin looked at him again.

“But how could...” She bit her lip in disbelief. “How could you like me? Aren’t you trying to make me happy? If you’re pitying me because of my injury...”

“It’s not pity.” Qiao Chen frowned and interrupted her unhappily. “Shen Xin, I don’t have to use this excuse to make you happy. I’m not joking with you. I thought about it for a long time before coming to a decision.

“No matter what you think, these are my heartfelt words.”

Shen Xin was stunned for a few seconds.

She was confused.

“But haven’t you always disliked me? Qiao Chen, I’ve pursued you for three years. If you liked me too, why do you keep rejecting me?”

“I don’t want to doubt you, but I really don’t understand.”

Why did he suddenly tell her that he liked her when she decided to give up?

Why did it have to be when she decided to leave?

If someone else confessed to her, she would believe it.

But Qiao Chen...

She was the least confident in front of him.

Three years.

Someone who knew her feelings but was always cold to her suddenly said he liked her.

Even if he wasn’t joking, she didn’t dare to believe it.

Qiao Chen pursed his lips and looked at her with a complicated expression. After a moment of silence, he said, “I’ve never thought of dating so early. At our age, we should be studying. The gap between our statuses in the past was too huge, so I never dared to think of dating you.

“And my body...

“Shen Xin, you should know that I have heart disease. Back then, I thought I wouldn’t live long and could die at any time.

“So, every day that I could live was exceptionally precious to me. At that time, besides wanting to live well, I didn’t think of anything else.”

“So...” Shen Xin understood. “You rejected me not because you hate me?”

Qiao Chen sighed helplessly. “I’ve said it before, I’ve never hated you.”

Why didn’t she believe him?

“Then, now you...” Shen Xinru felt like she was dreaming. “What do you mean now?”

Qiao Chen had thought a lot on the way over.

He made a decision.

The young man’s eyes were filled with nervousness, but his gaze was firm. He took a deep breath and said, “Shen Xin, do you really have to transfer schools? Can you... stay?”
