Chapter 264: The answer is the same

Rong Ci thought for a moment, stood up, and said: "I'll tell you later, I'll go out to answer the phone first."

After speaking, she greeted Professor Liu and the others, took her phone, and turned to leave the private room.

Watching her departing back, Yu Moxun finally reacted. In an instant, he opened his eyes wide in disbelief.

Although at a banquet last year, when he saw Rong Ci and Ji Qingyue dancing, he did think about whether there was a possibility of them being together.

However, after that time, they shouldn't have had any interaction, so how could—

Hearing Yu Moxun's words, Gu Yan subconsciously looked toward Rong Ci.

He didn't know or recognize Ji Qingyue.

But when he looked over, the awkwardness on Rong Ci's face made him immediately perceive something unusual, not to mention Yu Moxun's subsequent reaction, which also confirmed his guess.

So, this Ji Qingyue, him and Rong Ci, could it be—

Feng Tingshen knew Ji Qingyue.

After hearing Yu Moxun's words, he also scanned toward Rong Ci's side nonchalantly. Originally, after scanning Rong Ci, he intended to withdraw his gaze.

However, seeing the unusual expression on Rong Ci's face, his action of withdrawing his gaze paused, and he watched Rong Ci leave with a thoughtful look.

After Rong Ci left the private room, she connected the call. She was just about to speak, but Ji Qingyue was one step faster than her and said: "I thought you wouldn't answer my call."

Because of her outstanding appearance, Rong Ci could actually be said to have been confessed to since she was a child.

She was not unfamiliar with confessions from the opposite sex.

However, ever since she got married and had children, because of the change in her social circle, and because she did not hide the fact that she was married after she started working, she had rarely been confessed to in the few years since she got married.

She and Ji Qingyue could be considered half-friends. She and Feng Tingshen had not officially divorced yet, so after he confessed to her some time ago, and now contacted her again, she felt a bit uncomfortable.

Hearing him say this, she was just about to speak when Ji Qingyue spoke again: "After we met last time, I actually thought about it carefully. The things I said to you last time, even I thought it was a momentary impulse at the time."

"However, I have thought about it seriously during this period and found that my actions at the time were not a momentary impulse, but that I had developed a good impression of you unknowingly long ago. The words last time were actually my most real thoughts from the depths of my heart back then. So, I really like you, even more than I thought before."

When Rong Ci received his call, she had actually basically guessed the purpose of his call.

However, she didn't expect him to say so much.

Ji Qingyue's voice was unhurried, using sincerity and the seriousness after careful consideration to calmly tell her the answer he had reached after thinking it through.

Then, without waiting for her to speak, Ji Qingyue continued: "Last time you said you were already married, 'already married' rather than 'married.' Can I assume that your marriage has already encountered problems, or even that you have already divorced? So—can you inform me of your current real marital status?"

Ji Qingyue's tone did not have any coerciveness, and when asking the last question, his tone was even very gentle.

The impression Ji Qingyue gave her had always been very good.

His attitude was good, just seeking a result.

Rong Ci had never been a heartless person.

For such a person, she could not easily speak coldly to him.

She said truthfully: "I just went to handle the divorce procedures today, but I haven't officially divorced yet."

"Can only officially receive the certificate after the cooling-off period ends?"

"Yes."

Ji Qingyue smiled: "Looks like my luck is not bad."

"It's not..." Rong Ci felt even more uncomfortable. She said softly: "Thank you for your liking, but I—"

"I know." Ji Qingyue interrupted her words.

Even when he interrupted her, his voice was gentle.

He said: "I know you want to say that you haven't thought about restarting a relationship so soon, and furthermore, you have never considered the possibility of being with me, which is to say, you actually don't like me now."

Having her thoughts completely spoken by him, Rong Ci was speechless for a moment.

At this time, Ji Qingyue's voice came from the other side of the phone again: "I know all of this, but I don't care. I can wait."

Rong Ci came back to her senses and thought of Feng Jingxin. She was just about to open her mouth to say she already had a child, but Ji Qingyue was one step faster than her again: "You said you were married. I think you might also already have a child. I have already considered this situation, but my answer is still the same."

"So, I hope I am the first person in line to pursue you, and I also hope that after you divorce, if you want to start a relationship, the first person you consider is me."

Although Rong Ci had been confessed to by many people.

But being confessed to like this was truly the first time.

Before she could speak, Ji Qingyue spoke gently again: "Where are you now? Have you eaten? I just returned to the city, can I treat you to dinner?" ===== CHAPTER 265 =====
