After Bankruptcy, the Billionaire Asked Me to Marry Him!
Chapter 410: Do You Want to Come into My Arms?

Chapter 410: Chapter 410: Do You Want to Come into My Arms?

I don’t know if it’s because of the boxing just now or because of being shy.

The woman’s cheeks glowed with a crystalline pink.

Her clear, dark eyes flickered with a hint of evasiveness from panic.

Lue Xizhou smiled, "I told you, I understand you. So, do you believe it now?"

"I don’t believe it."

Qin Chu stubbornly asked, "Then tell me, when did you start falling for me?"

Lue Xizhou smirked, maintaining his calm demeanor, "When I gave you my true heart along with the moonlight."

Qin Chu was completely stunned.

Lue Xizhou smiled, looking very pleased with himself, "How about it? Am I not the one who understands you the best?"

Afraid that her feelings had been guessed, Qin Chu was angry and embarrassed.

Lue Xizhou reached out and ruffled Qin Chu’s hair, "Don’t worry, in other people’s eyes, you’re still that aloof and cool female racer no one can figure out."

"You’re the cocky one! Nothing good comes out of your mouth!"

She turned her head to avoid his hand.

And reached out to push it away again.

Qin Chu’s heartbeat slowly calmed down.

"Lue Xizhou, why don’t I believe you?"

Remembering that Valentine’s night, he was in such despair, like a heartbroken man abandoned.

Qin Chu looked back at Lue Xizhou, "Could it be because your first love left you, that you’re using me as a pastime or... a substitute?"

Lue Xizhou’s expression faltered slightly.

Qin Chu’s heart shot up.

Her face was pinched, and Qin Chu covered her face.

Lue Xizhou said irritably, "And you said you weren’t moved? Why were you digging around about me then?"

Pressing all his weight onto the soft railing behind him, Lue Xizhou reached out and pulled Qin Chu over, embracing her.

"Be good, let me hold you for a moment, and I’ll tell you!"

Seeing her struggle a bit but not breaking free, she obediently leaned against his chest.

Lue Xizhou smirked slightly.

He then spoke, his voice clear, "You’re talking about Song Yiduo, right? Let me tell you clearly, she was never my first love. I can’t even remember what she looks like now."

???

But that’s not what Lizi’s gossip said.

Lizi said, she and Mrs. Gu agreed that it was only after Lue Xizhou was dumped that he realized his deep feelings, which is why he became so despondent and turned to drinking.

Subsequently, by chance, he walked into her Flying, which led to that night of racing on the mountaintop.

And everything since then.

But Lue Xizhou said he doesn’t even remember what Song Yiduo looks like?

Between Lue Xizhou and Ye Li, Qin Chu didn’t hesitate, she absolutely believed Ye Li!

"You’re so full of it!"

Qin Chu sat up, "On Valentine’s, you were a mess, did you forget? Want me to remind you?"

He looked like someone settling old scores and remembered them clearly.

Lue Xizhou couldn’t help but want to laugh.

"A bunch of fools!"

He could probably guess what Ye Li told Qin Chu.

Lue Xizhou laughed, "Qin Chu, I’m telling you clearly, if it weren’t for Song Yiduo, I’d still be in Si City, not knowing which girl I’d be having fun with."

Qin Chu’s expression changed slightly.

Lue Xizhou quickly pinned her down, pulling his legs in to trap her.

Then looking into her eyes, he said, "Now do you understand why it has to be you?"

Qin Chu shook her head, "I don’t know."

"..."

Lue Xizhou sighed and looked down, playing with her fingers, "I always thought my whole life would just be like this. Isn’t it all just an act? Let’s all act together. After all, life is just a few decades. Keep pretending, and it’ll pass. But Song Yiduo..."

He furrowed his brow, seeming to find the name childish, then looked up at Qin Chu, "I agreed to the engagement. I thought, getting married or not, to whoever, doesn’t really matter, so... why not just get married?"

"Then after that..."

His frivolous demeanor disappeared instantly, and Lue Xizhou lowered his head, a flash of bitterness in his eyes, "She’s the one who pursued me, and she’s the one who told me, even if it’s a marriage of convenience, it doesn’t have to end sadly. Try your best, give it a shot. The last time I saw her, she told me, Lue Xizhou, you’re like a stone in a latrine, stinky and hard."

"Then she got married."

"During that time, I was quite depressed because I suddenly realized, no matter how much I pretended, someone could still see through me. And I missed the one who saw through me and might have tolerated me."

Afraid that saying this about Song Yiduo in front of Qin Chu might make her angry and leave.

Lue Xizhou shifted closer, "Qin Chu, are you wondering if Song Yiduo hadn’t gotten married, would I have married her?"

???

Qin Chu was taken aback.

Lue Xizhou nodded, "Yes. We would have gotten married as planned, and in the future, we would have been like those seemingly loving couples in wealthy families, respectfully close but emotionally distant. Privately, I’d do whatever I want, and as for Song Yiduo..."

"Maybe she’d either endure it or leave?... But she’s braver than me!"

Thinking of the annoyance during the time Song Yiduo pursued him.

And the depression that came when he heard about her marriage.

And the subsequent enlightenment.

Lue Xizhou looked up at Qin Chu again, his eyes serious, "If I have to pretend for the rest of my life, I hope there’s someone who allows me not to, who makes it not so tiring. And you, you appeared just at the right time."

"Qin Chu, I’m certain you’re the one I want."

"How about you? Want to come into my embrace?"

Lue Xizhou’s gaze was sincere.

Qin Chu’s face almost exploded in redness.

The two stood face to face.

He had her tightly pressed into the corner of the boxing ring.

She was almost already in his arms.

If someone looked over, they’d probably think they were up to something.

"I, I..."

Both shy and flustered.

Qin Chu’s mind went blank.

Thump.

Thump thump!

The clear sound of a heartbeat, unsure if it was hers or his.

When she looked up again, Lue Xizhou’s expression was serious, without a trace of his usual teasing or mockery.

For a moment, he seemed like a different person.

A voice said: Qin Chu, give it a try, what if?

Another voice said: Think it over carefully!

Qin Chu’s mind was in turmoil.

For a long while, suddenly thinking of something, Qin Chu looked up at Lue Xizhou, "Have you thought about our future? How far do you think we can go?"

"If I say I have, would you believe me?"

There was a smile in Lue Xizhou’s eyes, "When we were eating crayfish on the mountaintop, I already imagined decades of marriage and children. I just thought, by the time I’m old and gray, she’d still be the one willing to watch the stars with me. When I close my eyes, she’d hold my hand and say, ’Old man, in our next life, I’d marry you again!’"

"Thinking about it, I found it... rather beautiful! And then... I fell asleep!"

???

Not sure if it was his shamelessness that startled her.

Or if that old man comment made her laugh.

Qin Chu reached out to hit Lue Xizhou, "Lue Xizhou, how can you be so shameless!"

Inviting you to eat crayfish in good faith.

And you take such advantage of me?

Her hand landed on his shoulder with a smack.

Before Qin Chu could pull it back.

Lue Xizhou caught it squarely.

"Qin Chu..."

With a gentle tug, she fell into his embrace. Lue Xizhou lowered his head and nudged her neck, "Before that day comes, don’t set so many obstacles for yourself."

"Trust yourself for once, and trust me for once, okay?"

The man’s heartbeat was like a drum.

It thumped against her chest, making it tingle slightly.

Qin Chu’s eyes felt warm, "Okay..."
