Chapter 397: Chapter 396: Rushing toward Each Other_1

Getting jealous over such a small matter did not fit the generally cool and dominant image of Lord Qi.

Normally, Qi Yunjue was very gentle and considerate towards her, but he was generally mature and steady most of the time.

It was rare for him to so easily reveal his feelings, as he did at that moment.

Nevertheless, Yan Ling found the man who was jealous at this moment somewhat adorable.

She looked up, a twinkle in her watery eyes. "Since you care so much about me, then I’ll begrudgingly agree to be your girlfriend!"

"What?" Upon hearing Yan Ling’s statement, Qi Yunjue was visibly stunned.

Seeing the man’s surprised and unprepared expression, Yan Ling wished she could rush up and kiss him.

"I said, I want to be your girlfriend! Not a nominal wife, or a prearranged fiancée by the family, but a girlfriend who wants to have a sweet relationship with you and willingly accompany you into marriage!"

Admittedly, this felt a bit awkward to say.

But Qi Yunjue was unwilling to get a divorce, so there was nothing she could do about it.

They could only start dating under the banner of a legally married couple!

The moment Yan Ling’s firm and sweet voice rang in his ear, Qi Yunjue felt his nerves tense even more.

He was prepared to wait a lifetime if necessary.

He hadn’t expected to get the answer he wanted so soon!

If this had occurred before, he would’ve said yes without a second thought upon hearing Yan Ling’s proposal.

But thinking about what happened six years ago, guilt, self-reproach, and self-loathing overwhelmed him.

He couldn’t pretend nothing had happened and enjoy her goodness with a clear conscience.

Qi Yunjue remained silent, and the atmosphere suddenly turned as cold as winter.

Captain Tan, holding two umbrellas and daring not to interrupt, was getting on edge from listenting in on their conversation, hidden behind the corner.

What was Lord Qi up to?

The girl was confessing her love, yet there wasn’t any reaction?

If he didn’t respond soon, the bride within his grasp would slip away!

Yan Ling knew why Qi Yunjue wasn’t responding.

Looking at the man tormented by guilt and pain, she felt a pang of pity.

Sighing, she stepped forward and gently touched his bearded face.

The girl’s move made Qi Yunjue stiffen. He lowered his head only to find her eyes staring at him with deep affection.

As their gazes met, sparks quickly ignited in the air.

Without hesitation, Yan Ling tiptoed and kissed the man’s lips.

However, it was a shallow kiss. It was so brief that, before he could react, she had already pulled away.

Looking at him, her tone somewhat helpless, Yan Ling said, "Qi Yunjue, I don’t blame you for the past!"

At her words, the man, who was still immersed in her tenderness, was suddenly taken aback.

He stared at her intensely, as if trying to confirm that he hadn’t misheard.

After an unknown period of silence, he finally spoke in a struggling, hoarse voice. "You know everything?"

Yan Ling nodded, "Yes, I know everything."

She had planned to wait until he was somewhat healed before discussing this.

But so much had happened over the past two days!

She had a premonition that, if they didn’t clear up the misunderstanding now, they might miss out on a lifetime due to it.

Life was so short, why should they leave any regrets?

She liked Qi Yunjue, and Qi Yunjue liked her in return.

They were both ready to commit to each other, so why all the hesitation?

Yan Ling wanted to voice her real feelings, but before she could open her mouth, the man’s towering and strong arms had already tightly embraced her....
