The Substitute Groom Chases His Wife - Chapter 167

Chapter 167: Why Didn’t She Know Anything?

An Nuan did not know how she returned to her room.

When she finally came to her senses, she realized she was sitting on the floor with her back leaning on the door behind her.

Her knees must have given in the moment she walked through the door. Later, she ended up staring into space for a long time. Her mind was filled with the words that Lin Xiao Feng had told her.

“The person I like is you.”

“An Nuan, that girl is you.”

“From the beginning until now, the person I liked is you. It has always been you.”

“I won’t lie to you about this matter.”

“I want you to look at me without thinking about someone else.”

“Can you give me a chance?”

Poof!

An Nuan felt as if her head exploded. Her face felt warm and this feeling spread all through her body.

She had known Lin Xiao Feng for a while, but that was the first time she had heard him say anything like that. Most importantly, An Nuan did not think Lin Xiao Feng was capable of saying anything like that.

Her heart was beating fast and her head was buzzing.

She did not know if what happened was her dream or reality.

An Nuan tried to pinch her body a few times and the pain told her that everything was not a dream.

Lin Xiao Feng…

That person really told her that he liked her.

Moreover, he had liked her for years.

In the past, he did not dare to tell her anything because of his grandfather.

How was that possible?

Why didn’t she notice anything previously?

The two of them met many times and talked. Why didn’t she notice anything?

An Nuan tried to think of anything where Lin Xiao Feng might give a hint of liking her in the past when suddenly, something that Liu Qing had said to her a while ago came to her mind.

According to Liu Qing, Lin Xiao Feng was someone who had never interacted with any girls.

She was the only exception.

An Nuan had dismissed Liu Qing’s words, thinking Lin Xiao Feng was nice to her because they had been friends for a while.

Was she wrong?

Back then, a lot of her friends had teased her with Lin Xiao Feng. However, she told everyone that her relationship with Lin Xiao Feng was not like what they had thought.

They were friends because of their family. That was all.

An Nuan did not remember if Lin Xiao Feng had ever reacted to their teasing. But now, she realized that Lin Xiao Feng had never denied their friends’ teasing.

She began to wonder if Lin Xiao Feng had developed some feelings for her from that time.

But… Why didn’t she know anything?

That Lin Xiao Feng… how did he keep such a secret for a long time?

If she did not break up with Pei Zhi Yi and marry him, would Lin Xiao Feng keep this secret to the grave?

An Nuan thought that her guess was quite possible.

Knowing Lin Xiao Feng, this man would never say anything until the end if it was not because she insisted he tell him about the person he liked.

The thought made her heart ache for Lin Xiao Feng for a bit.

Liking someone and having to bury those feelings for a long time was not something that she could do.

Moreover, Ln Xiao Feng had to watch her as she dated a few guys and had almost married someone else.

An Nuan had always known that Lin Xiao Feng was very good at keeping his composure. He would stay calm in many situations.

She now wondered just how many feelings Lin Xiao Feng had forced himself to hide.

Lin Xiao Feng was too silly.

An Nuan continued to sit on the floor for a long time, trying to organize her thoughts.

Another thought came to her mind, making her pause.

An Nuan remembered asking Lin Xiao Feng what he wanted to gain now that they were married.

What did Lin Xiao Feng say to her back then?

Right… He told her that he did not need her to do anything. He just wanted her to be his wife.

Her body stiffened the moment those words came to her mind.

When Lin Xiao Feng said those words, An Nuan thought that he wanted her to play her part and act as his wife.

Now that she thought about those words again, An Nuan realized that she might have misunderstood Lin Xiao Feng’s words.

He wanted her to be his wife. Not the pretending ones where she would only stay close to him whenever there were people around. But a proper one where they were going to spend the rest of their lives together until they both grew older. They would love and care for each other.

But, An Nuan had never tried to imagine staying old with Lin Xiao Feng.

She had always imagined that Lin Xiao Feng would one day tell her that he liked someone. Then, the two of them would separate peacefully.

Who would have thought that Lin Xiao Feng would tell her that the person he liked was her?

Until now, An Nuan was having a hard time believing what had happened in the kitchen earlier.

She could not wrap up the idea that Lin Xiao Feng liked her for years.

And now, this man wanted her to give him a chance.

An Nuan did not know how to answer Lin Xiao Feng’s request.

She told him that she needed some time to think about his questions. However, the truth is, An Nuan did not know how she was going to answer him.

The situation between them would surely get awkward after this.

An Nuan did not know if she could still act the same around Lin Xiao Feng after his confession. She did not know how she was going to face him.
