129. Chapter 129 Love 1

I didn't reply to him; I simply raised my head and looked at him, indicating I wanted to know what was wrong.

He gave a small smile, pulling at the corner of his mouth, and said, "In your heart, do you still like him?" I'm sure this question had been weighing on him for a long time before he finally asked.

I never thought someone like him would ask such a question, or feel jealous and envious…

But this question truly struck at the heart of my feelings; in fact, I myself don't even understand what I feel for him.

"I—I don't know." I answered honestly; I believe that when two people are together they should be sincere, and since this is a matter of the heart, I don't want to lie to him.

Although I answered him so honestly, hearing my words his face darkened again; the faint smile I had managed to see on his face was instantly wiped away by that gloom, his expression terrifying, devoid of any emotion, icy cold…

"Are you angry? But I don't want to deceive you—I'll tell you my truest feelings. I believe that when two people are together they should be open and honest." Despite his frightening expression, I still spoke my true thoughts.

"I'm glad you can be so frank and tell me your inner feelings, but my heart feels awful; why don't you coax me, deceive me, tell me that the person you love now is me?" Shangguan Yun's words were icy.

Hearing his words, I was at a loss; perhaps I'm simply not good at lying.

I kept my head down, afraid to look at his expression, to meet his eyes, to see his expression.

"Raise your head and look at me, please look at me?" Shangguan Yun steadied my shoulder and said.

Only then did I slowly lift my head to look at him, gazing at his eyes that seemed wounded and his pained expression, wondering if my words had hurt him.

"You look into my eyes—do you like me or not, love me or not?" As Shangguan Yun spoke, his eyes stayed locked on me; being stared at like that felt somewhat unnatural.

"I… I suppose I like him, otherwise…" As I was about to go on, Shangguan Yun cut me off quickly: "Don't give me vague 'shoulds' and 'maybes'; be certain—tell me, do you love me or not?"

"I… I… love." I clenched my teeth and forced out the word "love."
