After rejecting my celebrity husband

Chapter 370 - 371: The Last Sentence

Looking up at him, Luo Xiaoqian took a deep breath and mustered her courage to speak, "Leng Zimo, I’m so grateful for everything you’ve done for me these past days. I know I’m not good enough, I’m too ordinary and too plain, and even now I don’t understand why you would fall for someone like me. I don’t know how far forever is, and I’m even more uncertain if we could really make it to the end... But this time, I don’t want to miss out on you, Zimo, I want to have a proper romance with you!"

Even if the path ahead was tough, as long as he was holding her hand, she would continue to walk with him without looking back.

Because she didn’t want to miss him.

Such a man, such love, she shouldn’t take for granted.

She was so serious that from the first word she spoke, Leng Zimo began to feel anxious.

By the time she had finished speaking, his expression had grown even more intense.

Lifting his arms, his hands firmly grasped her shoulders.

"Repeat it, the last sentence!"

Luo Xiaoqian was also very nervous. When she had been with Lu Hao, she didn’t even understand how it happened, and she became his girlfriend in a daze. Confessing to a boy was something she had never done before; she was worried she might say something wrong.

Hearing his words, she spoke instinctively.

"The last sentence!"

"Not for you to say ’the last sentence,’ but for you to repeat the last sentence you just said."

Luo Xiaoqian got confused by him, "What is it?"

Looking at her puzzled expression, Leng Zimo just chuckled, "You said you want to have a proper romance with me, say it again!"

She was confused, but he was crystal clear; he remembered every word she had said very clearly.

Realizing what he meant, Luo Xiaoqian’s face instantly heated up, "You heard it clearly, yet you still want me to say it."

"Say it!" he commanded dominantly, his tone unexpectedly gentle, "Good girl, say it again!"

In his eyes was ecstasy and anticipation.

Such a look, no one could refuse, let alone her.

Gazing into his eyes, she slowed her speech, "Zimo, I want to have a proper romance with you!"

"Okay!" he agreed immediately, and then he pulled her into his arms and held her tight, "I promise you, we will... have a proper romance."

All these days, he had been waiting, waiting for her to step out of the shadows of her past, to be no longer humble or hesitant. Now that he had finally waited, how could he not be overjoyed?

"I was too foolish and not brave enough before, don’t be mad at me." She hugged him back, whispering low, "From now on, I won’t be like before, I’ll treasure it, treasure you, treasure us..."

Once everything had begun, speaking out seemed to make it all easier.

Hearing her confessions by his ear, a wave of tender emotion swiftly melted in Leng Zimo’s heart.

"Xiao Qian, have you fallen in love with me?"

In the pauses of her breaths, he asked softly.

"I..." Luo Xiaoqian hesitated for a second, "I haven’t thought about it yet, I mean..."

"Don’t say sorry, I was just too eager!" he released her, smiling with tolerance and comfort, "I’ll wait patiently, and it’s not too late for you to tell me when you’re sure."

The phone rang once more, and Leng Zimo glanced at the caller ID before hanging up, continuing to hold her.

"Zimo, I..."

"Don’t speak, let me hold you a little longer!" he whispered in her ear.

She didn’t speak anymore, just extended her arms to him, holding him tight.
