Chapter 272: Chapter 272 In the Dust

Qiao Li had made his feelings clear, and for Su Lu to claim she hadn’t been the slightest bit touched was impossible.

In fact, Su Lu had seen all the kindness Qiao Li had shown over the years, not just to her but to Xiao Le as well.

Not only had Su Lu seen it, but everyone had.

Su Zhe, of course, didn’t need to say anything, as he was already very good friends with Qiao Li, the kind of friends who could entrust each other with company affairs with peace of mind.

Even Zhao Ying and Shen Xun felt that Qiao Li was quite commendable.

He was gentle in nature and sincere to others, wholeheartedly kind, whether towards Su Lu or Xiao Le.

But because he was overly gentle, he was too considerate of Su Lu; he was always afraid of putting Su Lu in a difficult position, always felt that Su Lu had it tough, always believed that Su Lu hadn’t yet healed from her past wounds and always thought she needed more time and that he shouldn’t pressure her too much.

He always believed that as long as he was good to Su Lu,

she would see it, and like water wearing away at stone, heaven would not let down the person with a hardworking heart; he would eventually succeed.

But he forgot that Su Lu was as resilient as cattails and as steadfast as rocks.

He could move her, but not sway her.

She could be grateful to him but could not fall for him.

Until today, Qiao Li had never expressed his feelings so bluntly, so directly.

He confessed his admiration for her.

He was somewhat nervous, his palms sweaty as they clung to the steering wheel.

Su Lu found herself at a loss for words, biting her lip gently, "Brother Qiao, I..."
