103: Chapter 100 â As Time Fades, I Owe Him a Declaration of Love_1 103: Chapter 100 â As Time Fades, I Owe Him a Declaration of Love_1 Li Weihuan said, âNanxi, Iâm not jesting when I say this.
I swear to you upon my conscience, I love you.
I want to make you happy.
I insist on spending half my lifetime working to craft that happiness for you with my own hands.
But as you may know, it wonât be easyâ¦â
Nanxi pursed her lips, harboring a bad premonition.
Just as she was about to say something, Li Weihuan cut her short.
Li Weihuan continued, ââ¦I know, all along, my mother and my two sisters thought that you werenât good enough for me.
Yet, deep down, I honestly feel, I am the one who isnât good enough for youâ¦â
After a pause, Li Weihuan continued, âNanxi, you are a good girl.
To me, you are the best girl in the world.
Without me, you could find a better man, a man who would be more excellent, more capable, and make you happier.
Without Li Weihuan, you would have a better lifeâ¦â
âWeihuan!â Nanxi couldnât stand his words any longer.
She called out his name, her voice louder, warning him to stop.
Li Weihuan laughed and disregarded her.
He continued speaking to himself.
He said, âBut Nanxi, I canât bear to let you go.
Iâve only fallen head over heels in love once in my damn life, and I gave all my heart to you.
If I let you go, that would mean Iâm heartless.
How could a heartless man live?â
Nanxiâs tears fell, and she clutched her phone tightly, biting her lip.
She couldnât say a word, not even a comforting one.
Finally, after a deep breath, Li Weihuan continued, âSo, Nanxi, I want to know whether⦠if one day, I were to lose everything, left with nothing but a heart that loves you, and if loving you is the only thing that gives meaning to my life⦠would you be willing to stay with such a man?
Would you still love me as you always have?â
Finishing, he laughed wryly, âNanxi, I suddenly remember that youâve never told me that you love me⦠In six years, not once have you told me that you love me!â
Nanxiâs heart ached.
She could almost picture Li Weihuanâs distraught face.
Li Weihuan was right.
Over the past six years, she hadnât spoken of love.
Yet, deep in her heart, she believed she had loved.
But that was merely her belief.
She saw love in many different forms and struggled to articulate it precisely.
She held an idealized love in her heart but couldnât express it to Li Weihuan.
Because Li Weihuan wasnât the idealized person in her mind.
âWeihuan, weâve been together⦠for six years!â
Her voice grew hoarse as she spoke.
She believed six years of companionship should outweigh any number of spoken words.
Love wasnât something expressed through words.
Not everything spoken was true.
Li Weihuanâs breathing seemed to have calmed down, âSix years, which is long.
Nanxi, they say love and marriage inevitably suffer from a seven-year itch, but I donât believe it.
Whether it was six years ago or the six years leading to now, my feelings for you have only deepened, not faded in the slightest!â
Li Weihuan said, âNanxi, I want to return home, to be by your side and never leave again!â
Nanxi froze.
Return home now?
With less than four months to finish his studies, wouldnât all his efforts over the past one and a half years be wasted?
She wouldnât agree.
She didnât want her love to be denied, nor did she want Li Weihuan, who was supposed to lead a wonderful life, to end up penniless living a dreadful life, all because of her!
Nanxi stated, âWeihuan, donât be impulsive.
Regarding your choice to return home, I disagree!â
Nanxi understood Li Weihuan well.
Ren Linlin had gone to the United States to find him, which truly enraged Li Weihuan, regardless of whether his mother had arranged it or Ren Linlin had gone herself.
She should have understood and seen clearly in Li Weihuan.
Now, she was ashamed of the disappointment sheâd felt when she first heard Ren Linlinâs voice, even if it was only for a moment!
She really shouldnât have doubted Li Weihuan.
Nanxi continued, âWeihuan, listen to me.
Thereâs nothing between you and Ren Linlin.
I trust you, and you should also trust that I wonât misunderstand you⦠Weâve been trying so hard for so long.
If you abandon everything now, wonât it be a waste?â
Nanxi added, âI havenât really thought about or cared what our future life will be like, whether we will be rich or poor.
I always believe as long as we are able-bodied, how bad can life be?
But Weihuan, you canât abandon your parents and family.
You know too well what Iâve been through.
Sometimes, people donât realize what they have until itâs gone.
I donât want you to turn out like meâ¦â
Nanxiâs lashes fluttered, and her eyes welled up.
She said, âWeihuan, itâs just four months.
I trust you can make it!â
There was silence on Li Weihuanâs side.
After a long silence, he seemed to snap out of it and said, âNanxi, Iâll do as you say!â
When she hung up, Nanxi couldnât help but cry.
She knew all Li Weihuan had done for her.
This deep understanding was what made her feel sad.
Her not being accepted did indeed discourage her.
In fact, Li Muyun had explicitly stated to Nanxi once that, even if his brother obeyed and returned after his studies, Qi Qun might never agree to their relationship!
Li Muyun said, âNanxi, please give up.
Itâs better for both you and Weihuan.
Do you really want to see Weihuan lose everything, living from hand to mouth just for you?
Nanxi, you and Weihuan are different.
You should understand!â
Nanxi was indeed well aware.
Li Weihuanâs family was well-off in H City.
His great-grandfather, despite being retired for many years, had significant influence.
Even central-level leaders visiting H City would call on his great-grandfather at the nursing home!
Li Weihuan didnât want her to know this.
If she ever asked more out of curiosity, he would deny any connection.
He stated, âActually, my great-grandfather is not my real grandfather.
He is the brother of my biological great-grandfather.
My biological great-grandfather took my great-great-grandmotherâs surname, hence we donât even share the same surname.
We are just an ordinary family.
Donât think of me as a prince because I donât have a princeâs fate in this lifetime!â
Seeing him somewhat angry, Nanxi didnât say anything more.
Regardless of how much Li Weihuan wanted to reject that he came from a privileged family, it was the truth!
Moreover, Nanxi had been with Li Weihuan for six years and had met his family members, albeit not formally, except for when she met Li Xiangchen.
And many such encounters happened without Li Weihuanâs knowledge.
Such as meeting his two sisters and Qi Qun.
She was uncertain about their love relationship.
That was true.
