Her heart suddenly seemed to have a beat, and his eyes seemed to have seen through her.

"Gu Lichen." Ling Yiran took a deep breath. This time, she did not call him Mr. Gu, but called his name, "Yes, I hope you don't fall in love with me. I just hope to live a peaceful life now and don't want to play any love games anymore."

"I never regard it as a game for me to fall in love with you," he said seriously. "If you think I am not serious enough, then you can tell me what to do so that you think I am serious?"

She bit her lips slightly, "I'm tired, I really don't have the strength to love anymore."

"Then I will love you. When you have the strength in the future, I will love me again. I just need you not to refuse my approach now." He said.

She looked at him in confusion, "Why do you have to look for me? I have no family background or background, and I have been in prison for three years. In addition, I am not the person you are looking for."

In the second half of the sentence, she felt a little guilty.

"Yes, why do you have to?" Gu Lichen murmured lightly, raised his fingers and gently stroked her cheek.

She subconsciously wanted to avoid his fingers, but was shocked by his gaze at the moment. The dark phoenix eyes were filled with self-deprecation and a desire that could not be dissolved.

"Just as you said, you don't have a family background and have been in prison for three years, not the person I have been looking for. If someone can choose to fall in love with by themselves, then there are indeed too many better choices around me than you. But—" His voice paused, and his fingers gently slid across her eyebrows.

"Since you are like this, I still love you, that means that I love you, just love you, and nothing else about you." He said, "You ask me why you must, I can't say much reason. I only know that when I see you hurt, I will feel distressed, and when I find you missing, I will panic, and when I know that you may be in danger, I will be afraid. Isn't this a proof that I fall in love with you?"

Ling Yiran felt that her throat was stuck. Facing his words, she didn't know how to answer.

"If you really don't love Jinli anymore, can you give me a chance?" he said, his murmur, with a kind of caution.

It was not until this moment that Ling Yiran suddenly took a step back as if she had come back to her senses and avoided his fingers, "But Gu Lichen, I won't fall in love with you, so there is no need for such an opportunity."

There seemed to be a little empty in his palm. He closed his fingers slightly and smiled self-deprecatingly, "In this world, you are the only one who rejects me again and again, but if you don't love me now, how can you know that you won't do it in the future? Just as I never thought before, one day, I will fall in love with a woman like you."

She was suffocated, would she fall in love with this man in the future? But why is Yi Jinli's face emerging in her mind at this moment?

If she chose to hide the fact that she was the little girl he was looking for for Yi Jinli, then now she continues to hide this fact, just hope that he will not be obsessed with her.

He was a minister, a minister who shared the worries with her when he was a child. He was a promise that he had kept it for so many years, and even found her for so many years.

Since she can't give the love he wants, it's better to continue hiding it like this.

If possible, she hopes that he can find a woman worthy of his sincere efforts, rather than wasting time on her, a person who is already scarred and will never love again.

......

Hua Lifang came to the floor where the presidential office was located and wanted to see Gu Lichen, but was stopped by her secretary. "Miss Hua, Mr. Gu is not in the office now. If you want to find him, please wait outside."
