Chapter 62: Her Identity 身世(2 / 2)

"Clarify later? Why didn''t you clarify things from the very beginning? No, you''re familiar with the customs of your hometown. Why not prevent such issues proactively? Your self-made success and current status were undoubtedly the result of enduring hardships to get here. An honest man doesn''t do anything underhanded. You did it purposely."

“以后澄清?那你为何不在一开始的时候就澄清?不,你知道你家乡的风俗,为什么一开始就防患于未然。你白手起家能有现在的身价,必然是历经风雨才走到现在。明人不做暗事

"Yes, I thought I had chances in it. As you said, Auntie, I''ve always felt a gap between us. Please believe me, I truly like her as who she is, and my love is solely for her alone, and not because of her background. Because my love for her is so strong, I inevitably become insecure when faced with something I can''t hold onto. I''m afraid of losing her, scared that my future won''t include her, frightened of losing the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. So, when I found out about the public opinion issue, I even held onto a glimmer of hope, hoping that with a little push, we could turn pretense into reality, become true lovers, maybe even husband and wife."

“是,我是有种侥幸心理,因为正如阿姨你说的那样,我一直感觉我和她之间是有距离的,请相信我,我是真心喜欢她这个人,爱的也只是她这个人,并不是因为她的身份。因为太喜欢,所以面对把握不住的东西我难免患得患失,我害怕失去她,害怕我未来的生活没有她,害怕如果我错过这次机会就再也没有了,所以当我知道舆论这事后,我甚至还抱有一些侥幸心理,侥幸我们能因为别人的推波助澜而弄假成真,成为真正的男女朋友,甚至夫妻。”
