13 Chapter 13 I Love You Too!_1

Shen Qingcong could only feel herself being tightly held in his arms, and before she could compose herself or knew how to respond, he forcefully kissed her lips.

She felt as though her heartbeat had stopped, and she could hardly breathe.

She could deeply feel the intensity of Xiao Chifeng's love for her.

It turns out he loved her too!

He truly loved her!

Shen Qingcong opened her eyes wide and felt her nose twitch and her eyes become grainy. She experienced a feeling of sweetness following bitterness.

From the moment he willingly accepted her from her father's hands and provided her with a warm home, he had a place in her heart.

She harbored a silent affection for him for many years, believing all along that he was unaware.

The old her may have truly been deplorable.

But over the past three years, he provided her with the best living conditions, she lived under his protection, she didn't have to worry about a thing.

Although what he said to her wasn't much, each word was full of encouragement.

Even his reprimands were meant to help her stride forward with more courage instead of stopping due to her apprehension.

For just one word of praise from him, she persevered and worked hard; even facing exhaustion and hardships, she persisted till the end, only for the few words he once said.

"Shen Qingcong, you must do your best!"

"Shen Qingcong, you must make all those who look down on you, look up to you in the future!!!"

These two sentences echoed constantly in her mind. Whenever she felt disheartened and defeated, thinking about his words reignited her fighting spirit.

Xiao Chifeng was an exceptional man who held high expectations for the people around him.

Her goal in striving so hard over the years was to receive his acknowledgement.

After three years of hard work, she had indeed, like he wished, successfully transformed.

She was like a dusty pearl which, after his meticulous shaping and remodelling, had turned into a dazzling gem.

And he had finally opened his heart to her, fulfilling her long-cherished wish.

At this moment, Shen Qingcong felt so blessed that she wanted to cry.

The feelings she had been suppressing deep down in her heart, surged forth like a flood, smashing her rationality and coolheadedness into pieces.

At this moment, she wanted to let him know, without any reservations, that Shen Qingcong also loved Xiao Chifeng!

At this moment, she wished to release the feelings buried deep in her heart, no longer concealing, no longer hiding.

Shen Qingcong started to actively respond…

Xiao Chifeng couldn't control himself and muttered her name, "Congcong…"

"Hmm..."

"From now on call me Achi…"

"Ok…"

"Then say it once, let me hear…"

"Achi, Achi…"

Shen Qingcong's soft and gentle voice was so sweet that his heart was intoxicated. "Congcong, I love you…"

She smiled gently and looked at him with affectionate eyes, "Achi, I love you too!"

Just as they were indulged in the intimate embrace, the doors of the Junling Pavilion suddenly burst open.

"Brother Xiao, I heard you were in the Imperial Court…"

The person's voice full of excitement and enthusiasm abruptly ceased, as he laid eyes on the two people tightly hugging each other.

Seeing someone enter, Shen Qingcong immediately pushed Xiao Chifeng away and watched the newcomer apprehensively.
