Chapter 508 - 511: If anyone harms my girl, they will be punished no matter how far away they are!2_1
She lightly pressed her lips together and closed her eyes, making sure the dreamlike romance before her wasn’t a hallucination. When she reopened her eyes, she found herself shaken by Gu Shaocheng’s powerful confession.
"Shaocheng, didn’t we already confirm our relationship at your old ruined house?"
Why do this all over again, throwing her off guard?
She was completely unprepared.
Her emotions roller-coastered; one moment she was in a deep valley, the next soaring onto a high peak.
She couldn’t describe her feelings, her nose still tingling. But it was a sweet tingling, even sweeter than fruit.
A faint smile graced Gu Shaocheng’s face, and a glossy sheen seemed to fill his eyes.
Usually perceiving the world from a haughty perspective, now looking up at the girl he loved with such reverence—it was a whole new experience. "Did I ever clearly ask you, Miss Chen Xing, to be my girlfriend?" he asked, the tone playful.
"I thought it was implied! That was what we meant!"
He wanted to give her a more formal and grand setting, let the little girl have some fun, soothe her uneasy heart these past days. How could there still be so many doubts? Fine, he had been cold to her earlier, but now he would make up for it. He would answer any question she asked.
"Did we have any witnesses?"
Surrounded by resplendent light, Chen Xing shook her head. Her clear eyes shimmered, "Do we really need witnesses?"
"Without witnesses, it doesn’t count. I could deny everything, and nobody in public would know better. When I, Gu Shaocheng, accept a formal girlfriend, I owe it to my family to inform them. That way, you can be secure, without any lingering doubts. You idiot, didn’t think it through, did you?"
"For such an important event, I have to think for you. If I don’t give you a title in public, people would question why you’re always with me. I am a month late with this formal request, but please, under everyone’s gaze... become my girlfriend, Gu Shaocheng. Give me some face, don’t make me kneel too long, will you agree?"
Is that the case? Chen Xing didn’t understand his reasoning.
To her, a relationship was just about two people.
Chen Xing looked at the passionate man before her, struggling to control her emotions as her eyes brimmed with tears.
She nodded strongly, her throat choked with words that couldn’t escape.
Some things, even unsaid, were evident from the look in her eyes and the curve of her smile.
"You have to say it out loud. I’ll give you a minute to think it over carefully. Once you say it, there’s no turning back."
She had originally intended to be his girlfriend. She had even pursued him. How could she refuse? Why would she retract? She would never retract, never in her lifetime!
Gazing at his intoxicating eyes, Chen Xing felt a captivating power within them that left her lost and craving more.
No matter what the future held, she was willing to walk the journey hand in hand with him.
"...I do."
These three words gently landed on Gu Shaocheng’s heart, making him feel as if his heart trembled... Slowly, very slowly, he stood up, personally placing the pendant around her neck.
"I forgot to tell you something..."
