Chapter 1452 - 1619: Have You... Liked Me for a Long Time?
Chu Mucheng gazed into Tao Zhixiang’s eyes, his look gaining an edge of assertiveness, yet tinged with seriousness.
Her recent words swirled through his mind like a hurricane, leaving nothing undisturbed in their path.
This woman actually said, because of that person—not someone else, but him!
Just because... it was him?
His mind was a bit muddled, so he wanted to hear Tao Zhixiang repeat it once more.
Tao Zhixiang’s face flushed red.

The sentence she just uttered had drained almost all her courage, but this man, he claimed he didn’t hear it clearly, demanding her to say it again!
Good heavens, does he have to torture people like this?
Tao Zhixiang reached out, covering Chu Mucheng’s eyes, murmuring softly, "Forget it if you didn’t hear clearly."
She really didn’t want to say it again.
Words like these... are truly too embarrassing!
Chu Mucheng’s large hand reached over, took her hand away, and then, so wickedly said:
"Will you say it or not? Hmm? If you don’t say it, I’ll ruin you!"
He squinted his eyes, threatening, yet his gaze was full of tenderness.
Tao Zhixiang: "..."
Why must this guy say such wicked things?
It was truly unbearable.
But now, faced with Chu Mucheng’s tender gaze, Tao Zhixiang felt she had no room to resist.
What else... could she do?
The feelings kept deep within for years, the person who lingered in her thoughts all these years, those memories suppressed in her heart—are they now set to be unveiled?
Tao Zhixiang felt her throat tighten.
"Chu Mucheng, back then, the reason I insisted on taking you home was solely because that person... was you!"
After speaking, Tao Zhixiang tilted her head up, planting a kiss on his lips.
She had never... confessed to someone before.
And now, is she... confessing to Chu Mucheng?
She had originally thought that they would go through life without intersecting again, but fate brought them back together, in such a manner... as this.
Tao Zhixiang blinked away all her doubts.
Let it be, saying it... isn’t such a big deal!
Admit it! Because it was the truth all along!
So, she took the plunge!
Yet, despite this, she still... cared about Chu Mucheng’s reaction.
But Chu Mucheng, he just stared into her eyes silently, with that profound mysterious gaze.
In that instant, Tao Zhixiang’s heart was thrown into disarray.
This man, at the very least... give her an answer!
Has he reached satisfaction with her response?
Yet Chu Mucheng remained silent, leaving Tao Zhixiang’s heart hanging.
"Chu Mucheng, you..."
Chu Mucheng reached out, lightly placing his fingertip on her lips, blocking the words she was about to say.
"Shh... Don’t speak, let me think it over properly."
Tao Zhixiang was stunned.
This man, what is he... thinking?
She didn’t understand!
But is he going to leave her hanging here like this?
Tao Zhixiang’s heart was in turmoil, like waves crashing against a rocky shore, spraying bursts of water.
Her heart was undeniably anxious.
At this moment, the corners of Chu Mucheng’s lips curled into a smile as he gazed down at her. Then, he gently pinched her cheek, speaking softly:
"Hmm, have you perhaps... liked me for a long time?"
