Chapter 636: Chapter 636 Do You Want to Marry Me_1

Seeing Huo Qilin eat so quickly, Cheng Bingbing really feared he might choke.

She served Huo Qilin a bowl of soup, handing it to his side, she warned with a frown, "Eat slowly, no one’s fighting with you for it, be careful not to choke..."

She didn’t know if she had a prophetic mouth, but no sooner had she said the words...

...Huo Qilin suddenly clutched his chest, looking really uncomfortable.

"What’s wrong? Surely you haven’t really choked?" Cheng Bingbing’s face drained of color, instantly. She moved towards him, patting his back with one hand while holding up the soup to his mouth with the other, saying, "Quickly, take a sip."

Huo Qilin, seeing her so worried, hastily reassured her, "Don’t worry, I was just pulling your leg!"

Cheng Bingbing scrutinized him carefully and after confirming that he was indeed okay, finally exhaled in relief.

"Thank goodness!" she said, relieved.

Huo Qilin looked at her, somewhat puzzled, and asked surprisedly, "Aren’t you angry with me?"

"No, I’m not angry," Cheng Bingbing, said returning to her seat.

Earlier, Huo Qilin had seen Cheng Bingbing looking at him with a worried expression, warning him to be careful not to choke. When he saw her gentle look, somehow, he wanted to tease her, just to see her reaction.

But seeing Cheng Bingbing’s anxious expression, he felt that his behavior was somewhat over the top. He was even mentally prepared for her to fly off the handle.

Huo Qilin had already prepared an apology in his mind.

But Cheng Bingbing didn’t get angry, this was beyond his expectations.

Huo Qilin asked her, somewhat baffled, "Why?"

Cheng Bingbing picked up her chopsticks to serve him some food, and asked him back, "What why?"

"Why aren’t you angry? You cooked a whole table of dishes for me, and I had the gall to trick you!" Huo Qilin said, staring intently at her, so much so that he didn’t even eat.

Cheng Bingbing merely smiled softly, "Isn’t it a good thing that you’re okay? Should I be happy to see you choke?"

Upon seeing the smile on her face, Huo Qilin’s heart skipped a beat.

He quickly averted his gaze, feeling strangely shy about making eye contact with Cheng Bingbing, it was an experience he’d never had before.

Clearing his throat, he explained to Cheng Bingbing, "I’m glad you’re not angry, I didn’t mean to trick you."

"Mm, I believe you," Cheng Bingbing nodded, quite seriously, "I always believed that you’re a good person, even if you were playing a trick on me, it wasn’t ill-intentioned."

Unable to control himself, Huo Qilin blurted out, "Bingbing, you have such a good personality, and can cook, whoever marries you is really fortunate."

Cheng Bingbing’s hand paused for a moment as she was serving the food.

She raised her head, staring at Huo Qilin, and asked, "Would you want to marry me?"

Huo Qilin was immediately stunned, completely at a loss for words.

Seeing his reaction, Cheng Bingbing thought he was expressing his rejection through his silence.

She felt somewhat embarrassed and regretful, she didn’t know what got into her to ask such a question. Hadn’t she been prepared to spend her lifetime and fend for the child in her belly alone?

Why was she trying to test Huo Qilin?

Cheng Bingbing understood that she was being too greedy.

Even though she knew she was not good enough for Huo Qilin, deep down, she still had a bit of a wishful thinking. She greedily wished that Huo Qilin would like her in return, and that their relationship could blossom.

Now seeing Huo Qilin’s reaction, she should really give up.

Cheng Bingbing choked back her sorrow and embarrassment, and forced a silly laugh, "Hahaha, I finally got my revenge, right?"

Snapping back to reality, Huo Qilin responded, "What do you mean?"

"You tricked me just now, now it’s my turn to trick you. We’re even now." Cheng Bingbing pretended to look sly, winked at him, and then asked, "What do you think? Is my future actress’s acting better than yours?"

"So you’re just joking." Huo Qilin managed a laugh.

"Of course, did you think I have a crush on you?" Cheng Bingbing said laughing cheerfully, "I haven’t forgotten, we’re just pretending to be a couple. We won’t let the play turn into reality, you can relax!"

Huo Qilin nodded absent-mindedly, "Mmm, I feel relieved indeed."

"Okay, we’re square now, let’s drop the subject and let’s eat." After saying this, Cheng Bingbing picked up her bowl and chopsticks and dug in.

Actually, what the food tasted like, she really couldn’t tell.

Now all she had was bitterness in her heart.

Even though she knew this was the end result, she simply couldn’t control her feelings.

After that, the atmosphere in the restaurant suddenly became strange.

Both of them finished their meals in silence.

After dinner, recalling that Huo Qilin insisted that she shouldn’t help with the dishes, Cheng Bingbing gathered all the plates and chopsticks and placed them in the kitchen. Then she said, "I’m feeling a bit sleepy, I’ll go to my room and rest. You can take your time with the dishes."

"Oh..." Huo Qilin was also somewhat distracted. After listening to her, it took him a while to react, then he just nodded, "You go rest, I can manage here."

Without saying anything else, Cheng Bingbing quickly left for her room.

After she left, Huo Qilin returned to his previous distracted state.

What he was thinking about was that during dinner, Cheng Bingbing had asked if he wanted to marry her.

He had hesitated!

Why would he hesitate?

He was obviously in love with Xia Qingtian. When Cheng Bingbing made that joke, he should have rejected her without hesitation, but he didn’t.

He not only didn’t reject her but was also moved by the idea.

If it wasn’t his rational mind reminding him that he was in love with Xia Qingtian, maybe he would have agreed then and there.

Huo Qilin really couldn’t understand why he felt that way.

Could it be, he has feelings for Cheng Bingbing....

No!

Impossible!

Huo Qilin immediately denied it.

How could he be like his father, a womanizing jerk?

He’d be betraying Xia Qingtian and also disrespecting Cheng Bingbing.

He thought it must be because he was too hungry, it muddled his brain. Or perhaps Cheng Bingbing was too gentle, thus he was momentarily confused.

Yes!

That’s it!

Huo Qilin finally convinced himself and found a reasonable excuse and explanation.

Late in the evening, when they saw each other again.

Having convinced herself, and come to terms with the situation, Cheng Bingbing had returned to normal.

...

Elsewhere.

Xia Qingtian got a call from the private detective ahead of schedule.

She initially thought that regardless of how fast it was, the private detective would need five days to give her the results.

Unexpectedly, he called her on the third day.
