Jiang Yu was confused. “Loyal?”
“Yes.”
Feng Lin frankly replied and waited for her reaction with interest.
If he wasn’t more direct with this slow-witted little girl, she would probably never understand what he was thinking.
After throwing all the hints in the world, she would always shrink away in the end.
This time, Feng Linbai wanted to give it a try. What if he just took a step forward?
Feng Linbai’s eyes were burning. At less than ten centimeters away from him, Jiang Yu could feel his warm breath.
She lowered her eyes and had on a look of total concentration.
Feng Linbai did not rush her.
He looked at the little girl’s delicate skin, as fair and tender as a peeled hard-boiled egg. It glowed.
Feng Linbai’s throat rolled.
Jiang Yu thought of something and suddenly widened her eyes. Then, she said with uncertainty, “You…”
Feng Linbai patiently waited for her to continue.
Jiang Yu probed, “You’re… wooing me?”
Feng Linbai almost choked at those words.
This little girl was really slow-witted. After thinking for so long, she finally reached the answer but was still unsure?
How could she still be so cute?
Feng Linbai nodded and said with certainty, “Yes, I’m wooing you.”
He had already made up his mind. Even if Jiang Yu was unhappy and rejected him, he would not back down.
This was the girl that he had his eyes on. He would not let go.
Not even if he died.
Jiang Yu wrinkled her nose. “Don’t pursue me.”
“Why?” Feng Linbai asked calmly.
No one saw that his other hand was clenched into a fist under the table.
Jiang Yu’s gaze was clear and bright as she stated simply.
“Because I can’t reciprocate your feelings.”
Feng Linbai smiled. “I don’t mind.”
Jiang Yu was confused. “Even if it’s for the rest of my life? You really don’t mind?”
“I don’t mind.”
Jiang Yu did not say another word.
She lowered her eyes and no one knew what she was thinking about.
By the time the dishes were served, the room was so quiet that one could hear the drop of a needle.
Feng Linbai acted as if nothing had happened and picked up some food for Jiang Yu. He even taught her a little bit about the ingredients in the dishes in front of them.
After dinner, Feng Linbai gave her what Jiang Yu had asked for and sent her home.
Pulling up in front of the Liang family gate, Feng Linbai called her name.
“Yu’er.”
He leaned over and placed one hand on the car window. The tip of his nose was almost touching hers in an intimate manner.
Jiang Yu could smell the clean and refreshing scent on him. Then, she heard the man casually say in a soft voice, “Yu’er, if you have another man in your heart, I will back down, but for now…”
His voice softened as he begged, “Don’t reject me. You don’t have to respond to me. Just let me stay by your side.”
After saying that, he gently touched the tip of her nose and said in a drawl, “Yu’er…”
Jiang Yu’s heart suddenly skipped a beat.
She was stunned.
She slowly turned her head and replied.
“Whatever you want.”
Jiang Yu opened the car door. “I’m getting out now.”
…
After Jiang Yu left, Feng Linbai received a phone call.
On the other end of the phone, the man deliberately raised his voice and shouted, “Ex-boss~ Heartbreaker~”
His voice was mesmerizing.
Feng Linbai said, “Speak.”
“Indeed, our ex-boss is still as charming as ever~ Our employees blushed when they saw you.”
Feng Linbai said in understanding, “So this is what tickles your fancy.”
He hung up the phone.
Let He Xiulan be jealous.
Feng Linbai held his chin and smiled as he recalled the interaction with Jiang Yu.
