Li Qingshen’s gaze held not even the slightest trace of focus, his handsome features wore a hint of bewilderment, such a Li Qingshen, Ling Momo saw for the first time, so stunning that she was momentarily transfixed.
Then, she heard a sentence that shocked her even more, accompanied by the violent pounding of her heart.
"I regret that I returned too late."
Li Qingshen’s expression remained indifferent, like a mist, but those eyes were shining and hazy, like a bright light emerging straight from behind the fog, aiming directly at Ling Momo’s brows and eyes.
From initial puzzlement, Ling Momo’s emotion evolved into sheer astonishment!
He said he regretted it, regretted returning to the country...
But it wasn’t a regret of abandoning the achievements he had built up, it was regret for coming back too late...
What kind of man is he...
Images from the afternoon surfaced in Ling Momo’s mind, of herself lying on the pristine white sofa, watching the man standing across the window, speaking fluent English as he declined a call from the MIT President.
Ling Momo looked at Li Qingshen, slightly dazed.
A quality named otherworldly emanated from the man, his attire simple yet inexplicably sexy.
Ling Momo couldn’t help but sigh quietly to herself: This man really is flawlessly perfect, one look makes you inevitably feel inferior, relegated to just playing a supporting role!
Yet now, there was also a lingering, deeply affectionate love story serving as a backdrop, such a man was truly beyond reproach!
Handsome beyond measure, born into wealth, academically accomplished, talented in many ways... passionately devoted without regret...
Does he even allow any presence for other men?
Ling Momo tried her best to keep calm, her black eyes alluring, within them a clear bafflement, "Teacher, you gave up so much for her, you returned to the country, and you say you have no regrets, but why then do you say you regret that you came back too late?"
Li Qingshen gazed at Ling Momo, his eyes faintly tepid like an immense ocean, boundless and mesmerizing. He stared at her for a long, long time, not speaking a word.
In that moment, Ling Momo felt the illusion of a rapid heartbeat.
She didn’t know if it was an illusion, she faintly sensed a deep emotion in the depths of his eyes.
Ling Momo became somewhat nervous.
Unable to resist, she lowered her head, evading Li Qingshen’s gaze.
Yet, she still felt a hard-to-define atmosphere slowly rising around her.
In the end, Ling Momo could only focus on eating her meal furiously, after all, as a girl, she was interested in romantic and heart-wrenching love stories!
But now, she deeply regretted asking Li Qingshen about his love story just moments before!
For some reason, she felt that Li Qingshen today was exceptionally captivating!
Li Qingshen watched the flustered girl, his eyes suddenly becoming even softer.
The girl’s head was nearly buried in her bowl, her eyes not daring to glance at the dishes, only clutching the silver chopsticks, desperately stuffing rice into her mouth as if to hide her panic. Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs novel·fire.net
Adorable, like a little deer.
Li Qingshen’s lips unwittingly curved into a smile.
She asked him, why he regretted that he had returned too late?
He did have deep regrets.
Regrets for not telling her at the age of fourteen that he liked her.
Regrets for not knowing sooner the chaos she was going through in X city.
