Chapter 1312: You claim to like her, but you are her best friend’s man.

“Back then, we merely sponsored you for the first few years and then my family lost our wealth. We never could continue sponsoring you afterward. The one you should be thanking for what you have right now is your girlfriend, instead.”

Pei Ge felt even more indignant for her best friend at this point.

“Have you truly never loved Xiaoyu even after all these years? Don’t tell me that you’ve always been pining for me—a figment of your imagination?”

The more words she said, the more ridiculous she found the situation. Back then, it was her father who had given the money for his studies.

Disregarding her father, her best friend had sponsored this man with her, yet he seemed to have given all credits to her alone!

As for her, she had merely funded his studies for the first few years.

What about my best friend…

Back then, after my family became poor, she continued sponsoring this man.

“You have truly, truly disappointed me… She’s the benefactor you should be thanking…”

My best friend has been with him for so long, yet his heart has never truly belonged to her. Instead, he’s always been pining for me…

My Xiaoyu, how heartbroken you must be…

In that instant, she was finally reconciled with why her best friend’s attitude toward her in the ward had been like that.

Gu Zhengrong’s face froze, apparently not expecting her to say such.

He had not expected the angel in his heart to say such words… about her not being his benefactor and about his girlfriend being the one.

Nonetheless, his memory of that letter she had sent him in the past was still there.

Through her clumsy handwriting, she warmed his frozen heart.

She did not know how precious that one letter she had written back then to him was.

It was much more precious than money…

After that, the letter became an exchange between two people, and eventually… it became one person.

However, that person was no longer the angel he liked the most.

He knew it. He had always known it.

However, he had never expected for that other girl to impersonate the angel in his heart eventually.

Hence, he took a wrong step, and that misstep led to this catastrophe…

“I know. I’ve always known…”

For the first time, he understood what it felt like to be living in hell.

He had never felt this way even when his company was at its most critical state.

“I like you. I’ve liked you from many years back, but I didn’t like you because you’re the one who sponsored me. It’s because it is you.”

Even if his angel did not like him liking her, he still wanted to voice the feelings he had hidden deep inside him.

Even if… she truly did not like to hear it at all.

Pei Ge was stunned at his confession, not expecting him to say that after what she had said, but before she could form a reply, Ji Ziming, who felt jealous, already pulled her into his embrace.

In a cold and possessive tone, he said, “She’s my wife. Please stop saying such in the future.

“Plus, I despise your actions. You claim to like her, but in reality, you are her best friend’s boyfriend. No matter what the reason is, your actions are abhorring.”
