Chapter 2515 - 2516: Stole a Kiss

Gu Mian did not respond, still sleeping sweetly. Nangong Yue softly called out a couple more times, but she still did not reply.

Nangong Yue looked at her, finding her asleep with a sense of satisfaction on her delicate face.

For some reason, as he looked at her thin red lips, Nangong Yue felt a sudden impulse rising within him.

The truth is, he has liked Gu Mian for a very long time.

Probably since school days, he liked her back then; it must have been during middle school.

The school they attended had a long-standing tradition of a confession day, where everyone could confess to the boy or girl they liked.

For those too shy to confess, they would bury a little note in the school’s backyard, keeping their secret hidden there forever.

He had wanted to confess to Gu Mian, but was too shy at the time and ended up burying his little secret in the backyard ahead of time.

When the confession day arrived, he finally decided to confess, but accidentally overheard Gu Mian talking secretly with Gu Yao.

He heard Gu Mian say she liked Di Mingzhe and wanted to confess to him.

So, at that time, without knowing why, he chose to give up. Later, Gu Mian probably did not succeed in confessing because Di Mingzhe’s heart was with Di Xiaxia.

However, Gu Mian did not show it, behaving as if nothing had happened, and he did not say anything either, focusing all his energy on his studies instead.

Time passed, and years flew by. Everyone went to different schools, and the courage to bring up such matters seemed to fade.

Gu Mian remained single, with Di Mingzhe still in her heart.

Later, when they all graduated from university and started looking for jobs, he thought perhaps he should pursue Gu Mian.

Unexpectedly, Gu Mian chose to join the same organization as Di Mingzhe, starting as his assistant, then eventually becoming his secretary, and finally, the secretary of the Golden Palace.

Thinking about it, those two have been together all along. He was somewhat reluctant to disrupt such beauty; he sometimes wonders if Di Mingzhe were not so devoted to Di Xiaxia, then he and Gu Mian would have made a great couple.

Therefore, he continued silently protecting her, never making a move.

Now, Di Mingzhe is married with children. He did not act immediately because he knew it takes time to let go of someone. You can’t just let go at once.

He hopes Gu Mian will empty her heart for a while, gradually clearing out the shadow of that person and herself.

Only a hollowed heart can slowly accept and fall in love with someone else.

So, another few years have passed, and Little Wushuang is almost four years old. Gu Mian remains the same, and he thinks she may have gradually forgotten.

That’s why this time he straightforwardly proposed a flash marriage with Gu Mian. No matter what, it’s better to have her by his side first, so he can test if Gu Mian has truly let go.

Unexpectedly, she agreed, proving she has either moved on or is trying to.

With this realization, his heart settled. They got married and obtained their certificate, so there’s no rush. All he waits for now is for Gu Mian to slowly fall in love with him.

But looking at her now...

Nangong Yue’s eyes gradually dimmed, cautiously yet somewhat guiltily inching closer to the girl he had admired for so long, who is now his wife.
