Chapter 422 - 400 I Want to Marry You
Dudu looked up and asked him, her tone slightly resentful, "Does it even matter whether I’m comfortable or not?"Shen Yiran averted his gaze from her face, not saying a word.
When it came to emotions, he was inherently clumsy. He didn’t understand sweet talk, nor did he know how to express his feelings. Or perhaps, he was cowardly and didn’t dare to pursue a love that was forbidden.
Dudu had hoped to hear something she wanted from his lips, had thought he cared about her feelings, had believed there was still a possibility between them. But his silence made her feel disappointed once again. Indeed, he only saw her as a sister, didn’t he? Just like a brother asking his sister why she suddenly got divorced.
If he liked her, wouldn’t he have been dying for her to get a divorce?
"I’m going to rest." She turned and walked into the house. This time, he didn’t follow her. He just responded with a faint "hmm" and, even faster than her footsteps, crossed the fence and returned to his own room.
Dudu stood at the door of her room, looking over at his side, and sighed softly.
Why does she always forget the pain after the wound heals, even thinking that he couldn’t bear to lose her?
If he had even a little bit of affection for her, he wouldn’t have rejected her so decisively on the day she went to him in her wedding dress.
Su Yutong, stop being so self-delusional, and don’t repeat the same mistakes.
...
"Knock, knock—"
The knocking sound made Jiajia sit up from the bed immediately. She then heard He Ye’s soft voice outside the door: "It’s me. Open the door."
Jiajia quickly got off the bed, opened the door, and looked up at He Ye standing at the doorway: "What’s the matter?"
"Is the child asleep?"
Jiajia nodded, "Played hard during the day, fell asleep as soon as he touched the bed."
He Ye glanced at her thin nightgown and said, "Put on a coat and come for a walk with me downstairs."
"Now?"
He Ye chuckled and asked, "Are you going to rest?"
Jiajia quickly shook her head, her speech stuttering a bit: "No, wait a moment."
She ran back inside, grabbed a coat, put it on, and followed He Ye downstairs.
The night beach was still lively with quite a few people barbecuing by the sea.
The two walked side by side on the shore, the soft fine sand leaving footprints with each step. Jiajia sneaked a glance at him, wanting to find a topic to break the silence, but didn’t know what to say.
It was already kind of awkward around him, and today’s wedding photo shoot made it even more awkward.
"Cold?"
His sudden question made Jiajia shudder and then she shook her head, "Not cold."
"I asked you out because there’s something I want to tell you."
Jiajia clenched her hands into fists, gripping tightly. His words made her even more nervous, and she considered countless possibilities in an instant, but only one stood out: Was he going to confess to her?
Girls are prone to overthinking and being sentimental. Once someone treats them well, they wonder if that person likes them. But out of modesty, they won’t ask outright.
He Ye suddenly stopped his footsteps, turned to face her, and stared directly at her face, "I want to marry you. Give you and the child a home."
It was just as she had imagined, but hearing it in person still felt surprising: "Um... I..."
Seeing her flustered and flushed face, He Ye couldn’t help but smile and asked her, "Did I scare you?"
Jiajia swallowed hard. Although she had considered this possibility, she didn’t know what answer to give in her heart.
