"Plop" sound.

Ling Che knelt down in front of her.

The man who always looked down on others suddenly knelt down. Qiao Ruyi's breath was caught and he took a half step back.

She looked down at the man with tears in her eyes, tears falling from his bloodshot eyes.

"A year ago, you suffered kidney failure because I fed you butterfly cakes mixed with peanut powder."

He lowered his eyes, not daring to look at her.

Qiao Ruyi's legs were so weak that she could hardly stand.

"why?"

After asking these three words, Qiao Ruyi felt like blood was coming out of her throat.

"I said it was an accident, do you believe it?"

Ling Che raised his head, his eyes as pitiful as a child admitting his mistake.

Qiao Ruyi didn't say anything.

"Actually, you knew about the equity issue a year ago."

As soon as the man said this, Qiao Ruyi suddenly looked at him.

"You talked about divorce back then, and you were just as fussy with me as you are now. But my reluctance to divorce you has nothing to do with equity. If you want, I can give you the entire Ling Corporation."

"For me, nothing is more important than you."

"At that time, I didn't know you were allergic to peanuts. I only knew that twenty-one years ago, in a small corner of Shenghua Primary School, there was a little girl who looked like a doll hiding there and secretly eating butterfly cakes."

Qiao Ruyi's whole body stiffened, unable to move as if she had been electrocuted.

Twenty-one years ago, she was only five years old.

"She gave me the peanut candy. She said her mother wouldn't let her eat it. I thought her mother was afraid she'd get cavities and toothache."

Ling Che raised his lips bitterly, "Twenty years later, this little girl was divorcing me. To appease her, I bought her her favorite butterfly cakes. The lady who sold them told me that they were more fragrant when mixed with peanut powder, so I took the initiative and bought them."

The man choked up, "I didn't expect that I almost killed her..."

Unable to speak any more, the man held her waist and sobbed again and again.

"It was just an accident, just an accident, I didn't mean to hurt you..."

When Qiao Ruyi almost died in front of him, he wanted to dig out his kidney and give it to her.

"I admit that I am very selfish. So selfish that even though I know there are many dangers around me, I still want to keep you by my side."

"I was also very self-righteous. I thought that hiding everything from you and protecting you was for your own good."

"I thought I could keep you safe by pretending not to care about you."

"I thought if I pretended not to love you, I could pretend forever."

"What I regret most is that I didn't tell you about your hospitalization a year ago. I was afraid you would blame me and resent me like you do now. I thought that as long as I erased the medical records and then erased your memory, I could pretend nothing happened."

He thought that this would bury it forever, and he never thought that this incident would completely push Qiao Ruyi away from him.

He had never been afraid of anything, but that time, he was afraid that Qiao Ruyi, who had no feelings for him, would leave him without looking back after knowing the truth.

So he took it upon himself to make her forget this memory.

"I kneel down to the Buddha of Eternal Life for you, Qiao Ruyi. I wear the Buddhist beads every month when I go to worship Buddha for you. I say I believe in Buddhism, and I believe in it for you. I'm afraid that one day you will encounter danger where I can't see you. I'm afraid that you will bear the consequences of my sins."

"I pray to the Buddha with everything I have. I pray that you will be safe, that you will wake up, and that you will forgive me for everything I have done."

"I was wrong, really wrong."

The man's voice was hoarse as he begged, "Can you forgive me?"

Qiao Ruyi didn't know what mood she was in after listening to Ling Che's words. She stood there, her legs and feet so weak that she seemed like she would fall down at any time.

Over the past few years, Ling Che's actions, as well as his intentional or unintentional concealment, were like an invisible and huge net at this moment, enveloping Qiao Ruyi in the middle and making her breathless.

Faced with the man's hoarse pleas, she was unable to give an answer.

The Ferris wheel parked right above them began to turn slowly, and for the next twenty minutes, the two sat opposite each other in silence.

The tear marks on Qiao Ruyi's face had been wiped away by her. She sat there quietly, turning her head to look out the glass window.

Ling Che sat opposite her, his lips tightly pursed, his eyes fixed on her.

He was not sure whether Qiao Ruyi would still decide to divorce him after knowing all this.

Golden light poured in and shone on the table between the two of them, like an invisible wall separating them.

ten minutes later.

The Ferris wheel landed and the glass door locked from the outside was opened.

Qiao Ruyi was ready to leave in a panic without saying a word. She needed to breathe, to calm down, and to rethink the past few years with Ling Che.

Just as she reached the door and hadn't taken a step forward, a big hand suddenly grabbed her palm.

The hand was white and strong, but not as hot as usual, but with a hint of coolness.

The man raised his eyes, the red bloodshot in his eyes had not yet faded.

When he spoke, his voice returned to its usual clear and sharp tone.

"Qiao Ruyi, you always say I don't love you." He curled his lips with a hint of bitterness, "Do you know how many years I, Ling Che, have loved you?"

Qiao Ruyi didn't move or look back, but her fingertips trembled slightly, indicating her panic at the moment.

She heard a man's voice behind her, slow and measured.

"I have liked you since I was six years old. Until today, I have loved you for a full twenty-one years."

The hand held in his palm suddenly trembled and began to shake uncontrollably.

Ling Che's deep eyes looked at her back, "From childhood to adulthood, no one taught me what 'love' is, or what the best love is. I can only treat you well in my own way, keep you by my side, and give you everything you want."

"I know I used the wrong approach, but that doesn't mean I don't love you."

"If you still decide to separate, it's my own fault."
