An Yue was stunned while looking at Han Yichen’s gentle smile. At the same time, he was carrying himself with a serious demeanor. He did not look like he was cracking a joke at all.
She belatedly realized that their relationship had progressed rapidly from a two-way crush into an unmarried couple within a day. Moreover, they were going to meet his parents soon. Was their progress not a little too… fast?!
When An Yue recalled she would be meeting Han Yichen’s parents, whom he had taken great pains to regain, she looked shy and pitiful.
However, soon, An Yue began to grow nervous. She thought that she should prepare something beforehand since she was going to meet Han Yichen’s parents.
If not, would the elders not think that she was rude? Besides, would Han Yichen’s parents dislike her because of her background? Would they…
“Chen… what do your parents prefer? I think it’s best to bring some gifts over. Also, do you have other elders in your house? Do you think I should…”
Before An Yue finished asking, she had already been interrupted by Han Yichen. “Don’t be so nervous, my parents are very nice. They wouldn’t put you in a difficult position. They don’t lack anything. They wouldn’t care about this either. It would be alright so long as you are present.”
Han Yichen had already guessed what she was thinking in her heart the moment he noticed her nervousness and restlessness. He felt helpless. At the same time, his adoration for his future wife only intensified.
Perhaps, like what Zhao Youlin had mentioned earlier, he really had to pay more attention to this. He had to care about her thoughts and feelings in many aspects.
At least, by the time she faced him and his own family, she would trust them and have a sense of belonging instead of feeling nervous and helpless.
“Okay.” An Yue replied to him softly. However, she looked down absent-mindedly.
When Han Yichen saw this, he knew that she was still feeling uneasy. He added, “Don’t worry, I’ll get everything ready.”
An Yue suddenly looked up and said in agitation, “How… How is this the same? You prepare yours while I prepare mine…”
If Han Yichen’s family were to know that everything that she brought over was actually prepared by Han Yichen, they would certainly find her to be insincere.
Han Yichen cast a profound glance at An Yue before he abruptly heaved a sigh and said, “It looks like you’re still unclear of your position.”
“Huh?” An Yue was stunned. She looked up and stared at Han Yichen in puzzlement.
Han Yichen lowered his head and pressed his forehead against An Yue’s forehead. He refused to give her an opportunity to leave. The next moment, he raised An Yue’s hand with the diamond ring and enunciated each and every word clearly as he stared into her eyes, “We are about to become husband and wife, and you are my closest person in this world apart from my blood-related kith and kins. What’s mine is all yours.”
An Yue’s face reddened as Han Yichen was staring at her with his matter-of-factly gaze. She looked down and compromised with him by giving a soft response, “Okay.”
Looking at his obedient and cute wife, Han Yichen’s heart melted. Yet, he maintained looking cold and hard as usual on the surface. However, his bright, clear eyes had already revealed the hint of delight at that moment.
He used his hand and casually caressed An Yue’s head as he replied to her softly, “Good girl.”
The crowd fell speechless.
The onlookers had long had their eyes blinded upon watching them flaunting their affections. The corners of their lips twitched. They decided to turn a blind eye to it and go over to disturb Nie Yunfan.
Nie Yunfan might appear reliable on the surface. In fact, he was an unreliable douchey young man. Even though this was his first time meeting most of the people there, he had already acquainted with them in just a moment.
Before this, the crowd had been treating Nie Yunfan and Han Yichen with caution. There was also an obvious hint of fear and admiration toward successful people from the way they had looked at the two. Right after they spoke to Nie Yunfan, they immediately forwent their previous conservatism and cautiousness and plunged into ridiculous talks with Nie Yunfan, as if they were good buddies who had known each other for more than a decade. Seeing this, Zhao Youlin’s eyebrows unwittingly twitched.
She swore to god that Nie Yunfan’s nature was certainly the best candidate to go undercover for the police. This guy could easily get acquainted with everyone!
Zhao Youlin heaved a sigh. The moment she turned her head around, she met Mu Tingfeng’s eyes that were filled with complexity. She instantly froze.
‘What’s wrong with this guy? Why is he looking at me like this? Is he crazy?’
Zhao Youlin was still puzzled when she suddenly noticed Mu Tingfeng moved his gaze away from her for a few seconds. He cast a glance at An Yue and Han Yichen in a secretive manner. The next moment, he moved his gaze back to her.
At that time, Zhao Youlin certainly understood the profound meaning that appeared in Mu Tingfeng’s eyes. Otherwise, their relationship had been nothing even after they spent so much time with each other.
The look of helplessness faded. Instead, Zhao Youlin’s expression suddenly became solemn. She stared into Mu Tingfeng’s eyes and enunciated each and every word clearly, “I know what you’re thinking in your heart. However, I’m afraid that I’ll let you down. Yue Yue and I are completely different. I am who I am, and she is who she is. I’ll never be like her. If you finally realize that you actually prefer that type of girl, a word of advice, stop wasting your time on me.”
Mu Tingfeng’s expression carried a hint of puzzlement upon hearing Zhao Youlin’s words. The next moment, he looked relieved.
The reason he was attracted to Zhao Youlin was because of her unique characteristics. If Zhao Youlin was no longer like herself, would he still fall in love with her?
The answer was an absolute no. He loved Zhao Youlin none other than the fact that she was who she was. That was also why he was obsessed with her.
He must have been exorcised when he had the thought of how he wished Zhao Youlin would be as obedient as that girl so that she would completely rely on him.
Even though Zhao Youlin was not as obedient and gentle as the girl, he had never met any girls who were as independent, strong, outstanding and attractive as her. How could he not grow obsessed with her? How could an insignificant comparison change his mind?!
“You’ll never get rid of me in your life.” Mu Tingfeng went forward and wrapped his arm around Zhao Youlin’s waist as he declared in a strong and domineering manner.
After he finished speaking, he looked like he still had not had enough of it so he added, “You wouldn’t be able to get rid of me not only in this life but also the next life and the life after next. You are mine forever and ever!”
Zhao Youlin pouted her lips. She did not resist Mu Tingfeng’s domineering declaration of his ownership, which was a rare sight. In fact, she merely glared at him fiercely and let him be.
However, if they were to pay attention to it, they would notice a hint of a smile appearing in Zhao Youlin’s eyes.
