Ji Mingyue’s footsteps faltered, and she glanced at Gu Jinhang before lowering her head. She did not say a word.
Gu Jinhang came in front of her. He looked at her bowed head and asked, “What’s the matter? You haven’t decided yet?”
Ji Mingyue scuffed her feet and said glumly, “Why do you like me? There’s nothing good about me!”
I’m not worthy of you!
The events she had encountered in recent years had sapped Ji Mingyue’s self-confidence. In recent times, her mood had improved because Gu Qingyao was back and she had been interacting with Gu Qingyao for a while.
But the trauma of so many years could not vanish in an instant.
When she interacted with Gu Jinhang, he gave her the happiness that she had only dreamt of. She was very happy with him and felt very relaxed. She did not feel uncomfortable at all.
To be honest, she really aspired towards a life like that.
But the more outstanding Gu Jinhang was, the more unsure she became of herself. She felt that she had no virtues and was not outstanding in any way. She was not worthy of him at all.
This man was different from those playboys she had known in the past. He had position and power.
He had a bright future and was exceedingly talented. Although he displayed his knowledge to her, he did it in such a way that made her feel comfortable. He did not dazzle her at all.
Unlike the men she knew in the past. They only knew a little but wanted to pretend that they knew a lot. They even put on smug looks and acted as if she should admire them.
Gu Jinhang had never behaved like that.
Gu Jinhang frowned. He had not expected Ji Mingyue to say something like that. The girl had been so badly hurt by the events of the past few years that she doubted herself.
“You’ve been bullied for so many years, but you are not bitter. You’ve managed to preserve your good temper, and you’re not filled with self-pity. You’re still doing your best to survive. Isn’t that good enough?”
Ji Mingyue raised her head and blinked.
Gu Jinhang continued. “To me, you’re wonderful. You’re kind, sensible, obedient, and sometimes, you’re very adorable. You get along well with my family. That shows that we think in the same way and have the same values. Your family background is quite good, you have been well brought up, and you’re pretty. You have many merits. Why do you have such a poor opinion of yourself?”
Ji Mingyue: …
Was she really that outstanding?
Why hadn’t she noticed?
Gu Jinhang saw her expression and said, “Don’t believe me?”
Ji Mingyue did not reply.
Gu Jinhang continued, “Do you think I’m wonderful?”
“Yes!” Ji Mingyue nodded.
“Then do you think I have good taste?”
“Very good taste!” Ji Mingyue nodded again.
“Then if I’ve taken a fancy to you, don’t you think you’re outstanding?”
Ji Mingyue: …
Gu Jinhang reached out and lifted Ji Mingyue’s chin. “If you don’t trust yourself, surely you trust my judgment?”
Ji Mingyue batted her eyes. “Whatever you say is true!”
Gu Jinhang smiled. He lifted Ji Mingyue’s chin with one hand and reached out with the other hand to pull her into his embrace. He lowered his head…
The capital was very cold in winter. The girl’s lips were purple with cold. He would help to warm her up!
The sudden kiss caused Ji Mingyue’s mind to go blank.
She was suddenly pulled into an embrace. Her arms were still around his shoulders when she felt the warmth of his lips. She felt a jolt of electricity flow through her limbs, causing her to go limp!
Gu Jinhang only loosened his grip slightly when her icy cold lips were warm. His fingers were still under her chin as he pressed his nose against hers and said earnestly, “Even if you were really inadequate in the past, as long as you obey me, I will make you a leader among women!”
