Chapter 1039: Chapter 1039: Do You Know? I Love You Chapter 1039: Chapter 1039: Do You Know? I Love You “Hmm, almost done packing.” Wen Jingheng stared deeply at her, Hai Lan, fresh from a bath, her eyes like soaked black pearls, clear and bright.

Her skin was translucent and clean, with a rosy hue from within.

Her jet-black hair was shiny, emitting a faint fragrance of roses…
At this moment, she lacked the dazzle of her usual makeup, but she possessed a fresh, clean aura that made one want to draw closer…

Only when he noticed Hai Lan’s discomfort did Wen Jingheng snap out of it, realizing he had almost lost control because of what Wei Zhijie had said!

Even though he knew Hai Lan wouldn’t leave him just because of Wei Zhijie’s words, he was still very upset and anxious.

Their marriage, in fact, was largely the result of his persistent pursuit.

He didn’t know if Hai Lan was truly satisfied with him.

He also worried that occasionally Hai Lan might think about leaving him.

So Wei Zhijie’s words had struck a very sensitive nerve, causing him to lose control of his emotions momentarily.

Hai Lan had noticed his unusual behavior as well.

“Jingheng, what’s wrong?” Hai Lan asked, staring at him puzzled.

Wen Jingheng gently stroked her head and smiled, “Nothing. I’m just really worried about you.”

“Worried about me?” Hai Lan was stunned, then quickly reassured him, “I’ve told you I’m fine. Don’t worry, even the doctor said I’m okay.”

“Hai Lan,” Wen Jingheng looked deeply at her, “will you stay with me forever?”

Although Hai Lan didn’t understand why he was asking, she still smiled, “I’m married to you. If not by your side, then whose side would I be on?”

The answer might not have been completely satisfying to him, but it wasn’t bad.

Wen Jingheng wasn’t greedy; all he wanted was for her to spend her life with him.

He believed he would eventually influence her, and one day she wouldn’t be able to leave him.

Wen Jingheng hugged her contentedly, kissed her forehead tenderly, then whispered in her ear, “Hai Lan, you know what? I love you…”
Hai Lan’s heart quivered slightly, and a smile involuntarily spread across her lips.

“Mmm, I know,” Hai Lan nodded with a smile, but what she didn’t say was that perhaps she had fallen in love with him too.

But she would tell him that, someday.

Wei Zhijie had always thought that Hai Lan was miserable, still saddened by his betrayal.

After seeing the news and noting how haggard Hai Lan looked, he was even more convinced of his assumption.

So today, he couldn’t resist seeking out Hai Lan.

Although he could no longer be with her, he wanted to comfort her, to give her some strength.

He also hoped she would come to her senses and not marry a man she didn’t love on impulse.

But clearly, Hai Lan loathed him deeply; she wouldn’t listen to his advice at all.

After leaving, Wei Zhijie felt guilty and remorseful throughout his journey.

He had hurt Hai Lan, causing her to marry just anyone.

Hai Lan looking so haggard now, she must be having a tough time.
