Chapter 242 An Yas Love Started in Childhood
Just as Li Ziheng was in shock, An Ya's phone call suddenly came through.
Li Ziheng pressed the answer button, and in the next second, An Ya's gentle voice, soft as water, came from the phone speaker.
"Brother, haven't you got off work yet? Do you want me to come pick you up?"
"No need, I just finished work and am preparing to go back!"
"Oh, then drive slowly, Brother. We are waiting for you at home to have dinner."
"Okay, see you in a while."
He hung up the phone.
Li Ziheng took the document bag and left the office.
He couldn't wait to go back and have a good talk with An Ya.
A few minutes later, Li Ziheng drove out of the company's parking lot.
However, just as he drove out of the parking lot, he saw a beautiful figure standing and waiting near the parking lot exit.
"Beep—"
Li Ziheng was surprised for a moment, then immediately honked the horn.
The woman with a graceful figure walked over quickly, opened the car door, and sat inside.
"Didn't you say you were waiting for me at home?"
Li Ziheng asked with a smile.
The woman was none other than An Ya, who had just called Li Ziheng.
After fastening her seatbelt, An Ya tilted her head and smiled at Li Ziheng: "Isn't this because I wanted to give Brother a surprise?"
Her smile was very sweet and very healing.
Just a simple smile made Li Ziheng feel happy.
Li Ziheng smiled and said: "It is a surprise, but I also prepared a surprise for you."
"Hmm? What surprise?"
An Ya blinked her eyes a few times, staring at Li Ziheng curiously.
But when Li Ziheng handed over that familiar document bag, the smile on An Ya's face instantly froze.
"Brother, you... how did you find out?"
An Ya didn't dare look at Li Ziheng, her eyes flustered and evasive.
"I discovered it by accident when I got off work just now."
Li Ziheng parked the car by the roadside, turned off the engine, turned to look at An Ya, and continued: "Little Ya, shouldn't you give me an explanation?"
"Brother, I didn't mean to lie to you, it's just... I just hadn't figured out how to tell you these things yet."
An Ya stammered in response, and her face turned red as well.
Li Ziheng stared straight at An Ya: "So, we actually met a long time ago, even earlier than when I knew Jiang Wan?"
"Mhm!"
An Ya nodded gently.
"Have you been silently paying attention to me?"
"Mhm!"
"For how long?"
"Ever since you saved me, I've been secretly paying attention to you, it's just that Brother didn't notice me..."
"Was it that I didn't notice, or that you hid too well?"
"Both, I guess..."
The secret buried in her heart for many years was suddenly known by the person involved, and the more An Ya spoke, the redder her face became.
By the end, her voice became smaller and smaller.
Li Ziheng asked again: "Then why didn't you just get to know me directly?"
An Ya lowered her head and said: "I... I was dark and ugly like a boy at that time. I was afraid you would hate me, wouldn't like me, and would think I was ugly, so I... I was too embarrassed!"
Because An Ya was lowering her head, Li Ziheng could no longer see An Ya's expression.
But Li Ziheng could see that An Ya's ears were dyed a layer of crimson, which was extremely cute.
"I really didn't expect that! The little girl I saved when I was young turned out to be you."
Li Ziheng sighed with emotion.
When he saw the information An Ya hid in the drawer compartment, Li Ziheng was extremely shocked at first.
But when he looked through An Ya's Weibo, Li Ziheng suddenly realized that An Ya was that bullied little girl he had saved when he acted bravely.
It was precisely because of saving An Ya that he was resented by Cheng Hao and several school bullies.
However, what Li Ziheng didn't expect was that after so many years, that little girl he had saved had been silently paying attention to him all along.
And this attention lasted for ten or twenty years.
Now, she had even become his girlfriend!
"Then can I understand that since my divorce, you started to approach me on purpose?"
"Yes..."
An Ya nodded shyly.
Li Ziheng tried hard to hold back a smile, reached out and rubbed An Ya's head: "So the sweet love I thought it was turned out to be your long-planned scheme!"
An Ya plucked up her courage, looked up at Li Ziheng with a red face, and asked guiltily: "Brother, you won't be angry, will you?"
"Angry, of course I'm angry."
Li Ziheng nodded without hesitation.
Hearing this, An Ya's face instantly turned a little pale.
But immediately after, Li Ziheng continued: "I'm angry that you didn't confess to me earlier, why you didn't get to know me earlier. If that had happened, maybe I wouldn't have been with Jiang Wan, and I wouldn't have wasted five years of good time in vain."
An Ya explained: "I wanted to too, but five years ago, before I had time to 'encounter' Brother, Brother had already started pursuing Jiang Wan."
While explaining, she looked at Li Ziheng with some resentment in her eyes.
Li Ziheng touched his nose in embarrassment when he heard this.
In fact, when Li Ziheng returned to China that year, An Ya found out through Li Ziheng's Weibo.
But before she could go find Li Ziheng, Li Ziheng started pursuing Jiang Wan.
She had thought about snatching him away, but she was afraid that her behavior would cause Li Ziheng's disgust. She cared a lot about Li Ziheng's first impression of her.
Because of this, she had been observing Li Ziheng in secret, observing the marriage status between Li Ziheng and Jiang Wan.
She was like a lemon spirit hiding in the dark, envious and jealous of Jiang Wan in every way.
Perhaps the God of Marriage saw her as pitiful, so Li Ziheng and Jiang Wan's marriage started to have problems.
And because of this, she had the opportunity to start having interactions with Li Ziheng.
When the two met formally for the first time, An Ya spent four hours preparing in advance.
She changed more than twenty sets of clothes, spent an hour and a half on makeup, and she considered almost all the details.
All for the sake of leaving the best first impression on Li Ziheng.
Li Ziheng frowned slightly and said in an ambiguous tone: "So from the beginning, you liked me, and your confession to me wasn't love at first sight?"
"It was love at first sight, it's just that my love at first sight for Brother started in childhood and has continued until now."
After the secret in her heart was known by Li Ziheng, An Ya no longer deliberately concealed her love for Li Ziheng.
She clenched the hem of her clothes and confessed her heart without hiding anything: "Since Brother went abroad, I have been studying hard, improving myself, making myself excellent, so that I can be worthy of Brother."
"I know men like beautiful and rich women, so I started to make money desperately, started to learn how to dress myself, learn how to maintain my skin. Everything I did was for the day when I could appear in Brother's vision radiantly!"
"Brother, I really, really like you! I've liked you since childhood."
