"An Ke, you..."
He Ting didn't expect An Ke to completely ignore him. His heart was filled with bitterness. However, he knew that he was the one who had caused this situation, and he should bear the consequences.
"An Ke, don't ignore me. I know I've failed to fulfill my responsibilities as a boyfriend in some aspects, but I..."
An Ke put down the messy things in her hands and finally looked He Ting in the eye this time.
"Mr. He, we have nothing to do with each other anymore. It was my fault before. I came here to discuss something serious with you."
Hearing such cruel words from An Ke, He Ting's heart was almost broken. He couldn't believe that An Ke could be so determined and wouldn't even give him a single chance.
"An Ke, I know it was my fault to quarrel with you last time. Don't say things out of anger just because you're mad. I won't break up with you."
An Ke was taken aback. When did she say she wanted to break up? She just wanted to know his thoughts. How did they suddenly start talking about breaking up?
"Oh, so you know you were wrong. Then what are you here for? To apologize to me or to make me angry again?" An Ke was secretly happy about what He Ting had said.
He Ting looked at An Ke in surprise. As long as she was still willing to talk to him, everything could be salvaged. He Ting was confident about this.
"An Ke, I've underestimated you before. I was really wrong. Please, give me another chance, okay? Let me prove myself to you."
He Ting pulled An Ke up and made her sit on the sofa so that she could listen to him properly. An Ke wasn't heart - free either. She had accepted He Ting at the beginning because he had promised to protect her forever, but he hadn't kept his promise.
"He Ting, do you know? Sometimes, I feel like I'm still all alone. I can't even feel the existence of my boyfriend."
An Ke held back the tears that were about to flow. Since she had met He Ting, she seemed to be getting more and more tearful. She also wanted to rely on He Ting, but when she needed him, he wasn't by her side. "It's not that I don't ask you for help when I'm in trouble. It's just that I can never find you."
There was still a sob in An Ke's voice. He Ting felt extremely heart - broken and hugged An Ke tightly in his arms.
"I'm sorry, An Ke. I didn't think about you properly. I thought I could protect you, but I broke my promise. I'm sorry, really sorry."
An Ke also hugged He Ting tightly. When the priest came to the door, An Ke wasn't not scared, but she didn't show it.
Because she knew that she had no one to rely on. Even He Ting, who had vowed to protect her, couldn't be with her all the time.
"I don't blame you. I'm also responsible for this. Although you weren't there when the incident happened, I didn't tell you when you came back. I was wrong too. Let's just let it go."
An Ke knew that her current thinking was a bit dangerous because she had gotten used to being alone, so her behavior was still in the single - person mode.
He Ting smiled happily. "It has nothing to do with you. I was wrong. So can we make up? Can you stop being mad at me?"
He Ting asked carefully. He just wanted to hear the answer from An Ke's mouth. It would give him a sense of security.
"He Ting, I'm not mad. Things between us are complicated. It's not something that can be explained in a few words. There are misunderstandings and many other things mixed in between us."
An Ke was very helpless. Although He Ting had a place in her heart, it didn't mean that she would accept him. She still had some concerns about him.
"An Ke, but our feelings for each other are real, aren't they? No matter what you say, no matter what's between us, you can't deny that I love you and you love me."
He Ting thought that An Ke must have misunderstood. He was confident that he could make An Ke fall in love with him. He just needed time.
"He Ting, don't argue. Don't you forget that you once killed me. How can you still say you love me so confidently?"
This was something that An Ke could never forget in her life. It was also the deepest contradiction between her and He Ting, blocking An Ke's wavering heart.
"What about you, An Ke? Don't you forget that in front of the priest's death - choice, you chose Bo Jinnian. If I hadn't been lucky, I might be a corpse now."
He Ting didn't want to hold this against her. He just wanted to tell An Ke through this incident that both of them were wrong, and it was inevitable.
An Ke was already tired and didn't want to continue talking. "I came here today for only one thing. I'll leave after I've said it. I won't stay, unless you keep forcing me..."
He Ting was unwilling to let An Ke go like this. But if he really forced An Ke to stay, they might never be able to go back to the way they were. He Ting was a bit anxious.
"Ah..." He Ting suddenly had an idea in his desperation. It was the old trick of feigning injury.
He deliberately showed the wound that the priest had inflicted on him and pretended that the old wound was acting up. "It hurts so much, An Ke. I... I'm sorry. Don't leave me..."
An Ke lovingly touched He Ting's face. Seeing his state, she softened a bit. "Then you can sleep on the sofa for now. I'll watch over you!"
He Ting kept watching An Ke tidying up. How warm their life would be if this was their life after marriage.
Of course, the premise was that he had to win An Ke over. Looking at An Ke's gradually softening expression, He Ting thought he had found the ultimate weapon to deal with An Ke.
He Ting pulled An Ke's hand beside him and held it tightly. His expression was vulnerable. "An Ke, don't leave me alone. I haven't had a good sleep for a long, long time."
An Ke had already noticed the dark circles under He Ting's eyes. Although she was a bit annoyed, she felt more heart - broken for He Ting, knowing that he had sacrificed so much for her.
Maybe it was because An Ke was by his side, or maybe it was because he hadn't had a good rest for a long time. He Ting fell asleep soon and had a dreamless night.
Unfortunately, An Ke stayed wide - awake, looking at He Ting. Because of her soft - heartedness today, she hadn't told He Ting all her well - planned things. It seemed that she had to wait until tomorrow.
He Ting, He Ting, what kind of person are you exactly? An Ke felt that she still didn't know He Ting well enough.
In front of others, he was always cold and powerful. But in front of her, he could act cute and coquettish. One could hardly tell his true identity.
The next day, when He Ting woke up, the person beside him was already gone. "An Ke..."
"An Ke, where are you?"
He Ting quickly got out of the door to check and found that An Ke was just coming back from outside, holding vegetables and meat she had bought from the supermarket. He Ting's heart leaped with joy.
