Chapter 662: Chapter 662: Each Take a Step Back_1

"Qingtian..." Bo Jingyan called out to Xia Qingtian, his voice hoarse and dry.

"Bo Jingyan, your heartbeat is racing," Xia Qingtian, whose face was resting on his chest, mentioned. She could clearly feel how fast his heart was beating.

Bo Jingyan didn’t want her to change the subject.

He tried to calm down before speaking again, "Have you made a decision?"

Xia Qingtian stayed silent, not responding at all.

However, Bo Jingyan didn’t rush her or stress her out too much. He swallowed his own anxiety and uncertainty.

For a while, neither of them spoke. The room was filled with the sound of their intermingling breaths and heartbeats.

After a while, Xia Qingtian finally said, "Yes, I’ve made up my mind."

"And the result?" Bo Jingyan asked. He was so nervous that he even held his breath.

"The result is... I don’t want to wait!" Xia Qingtian slowly said.

Hearing her words, Bo Jingyan felt a heavy weight descend upon his heart, as if he fell into a bottomless pit, never to be freed again.

He looked serious, his intense eyes filling with possessiveness.

He then swiftly flipped her, his voice low and stubborn as he said, "Xia Qingtian, let me tell you the truth. Your answer doesn’t matter to me! In this life, the next, or even the one after that, whether you want to or not, you’re destined to be Bo Jingyan’s woman!"

After saying so, he intensely stared at Xia Qingtian.

He was prepared for the disgust and hatred that could be reflected in her eyes.

Unexpectedly, Xia Qingtian smiled broadly, threw her arms around his neck, and before he could react, she lifted her head and pecked his lips.

"I knew it! Your so-called ’letting me choose’ was just a lie!" she chuckled, "You’ve never given me a choice. You’re just a fake gentleman."

Her reaction was completely different from what he had expected.

Bo Jingyan was utterly bewildered.

Shouldn’t she be angry, accusing him of not respecting her decision?

Why did she not seem angry at all, and instead seemed to enjoy his domineering side?

Xia Qingtian couldn’t get enough of seeing his dumbfounded expression, a rare sight to behold.

"Qingtian, what do you mean by this?" he asked, staring intently at Xia Qingtian.

Xia Qingtian tilted her head and grinned at him. "You guess!"

"Qingtian, stop playing. I’m really tormented deep inside. Please don’t torture me anymore." Bo Jingyan’s voice was tinged with helplessness.

In this world, only this woman could drive him to this edge.

Xia Qingtian had indeed had enough of playing games.

She shot Bo Jingyan a radiant smile and said, "I mean, I want to reconcile with you right now. I don’t want to wait any longer, nor do I want to waste any more time."

A wave of joy burst in Bo Jingyan’s heart.

It was amazing. Despite all their previous disputes, Xia Qingtian hadn’t contemplated leaving him. Their feelings for each other hadn’t changed, but had instead grown deeper with time. They were inseparable.

"Qingtian, I’m so happy. I really am." Bo Jingyan couldn’t hide his excitement any longer as he held Xia Qingtian tight.

Xia Qingtian hugged him back equally tightly.

Both their bodies were pressed up tightly against each other, the amorous atmosphere between them gradually heating up. A tiny spark might set it all aflame.

"So, you agree then?" Xia Qingtian asked teasingly, whispering into his ear.

Bo Jingyan naturally wanted to agree, but at the moment of speaking, a thought flashed through his mind, which immediately dampened his enthusiasm and excitement.

Defeated, he got up and let go of Xia Qingtian.

"Qingtian..." he leaned against the head of the bed and said irritably, "you know I can’t agree to it."

Xia Qingtian asked knowingly, "So, you don’t love me anymore?"

"Of course I love you!" Without a second thought, Bo Jingyan expressed his feelings with absolute certainty.

This answer was expected by Xia Qingtian. As the one involved, no one understood better than she did that Bo Jingyan loved her deeply.

That’s why he was always so considerate of her.

"Then that’s it, isn’t it?" Xia Qingtian too sat up, resting her head on his shoulder and said, "If we love each other why not be together, isn’t it simple?"

"You know why I disagree!" Bo Jingyan couldn’t restrain himself any longer. He put his arms around her and said with solemnity, "I don’t want you to get hurt."

"I’m not afraid, because no matter what happens, you’ll protect me." Xia Qingtian’s voice was full of trust in Bo Jingyan.

This trust gave Bo Jingyan immense satisfaction.

"There may be a thief for a thousand days, but there’s no guarantee of avoiding a thief for a thousand days. I don’t want to gamble with the safety of the woman I love." He tried to persuade her, "In this world, there is only one Xia Qingtian that I love, and hence I cannot afford to gamble!"

"Even if there’s only a one in ten thousand chance that I can’t protect you, I’m not willing to risk it. I don’t want there to be even the slightest possibility of harm coming to you. If I were to lose you because I couldn’t protect you, I wouldn’t be able to carry on living in this world."

Xia Qingtian could hear the deep feelings and immense stress behind his words.

But she had no intention of backing down.

"I’m not afraid. No matter what happens, I want to be by your side, not hidden behind you. I want to march forward together with you," she said in a firm tone.

"Listen to me!" Bo Jingyan said helplessly.

He really didn’t know what to do with the rebellious Xia Qingtian.

Xia Qingtian shook her head, "I don’t care, all I want is to reconcile with you immediately, right now!"

Bo Jingyan had already said everything that needed to be said, but the girl beside him just wouldn’t cooperate. He had no idea what to do.

In the end, he chose to remain silent, letting his silence express his stance.

Seeing this, Xia Qingtian had a cunning twinkle in her eyes.

She put forward her suggestion, "Considering that we can’t come to an agreement right now, why don’t we both compromise? What do you think?"

Confusion flickered in Bo Jingyan’s eyes as he asked, "Compromise? How so?"
