Shen Qingqing pushed against the man’s chest, but couldn’t move him. He felt like a mountain, standing there immovable.
Stomping her foot, she asked, "What on earth are you doing?"
Jiang Zhixun didn’t want to prolong this cat-and-mouse ga; he wanted to break the ice completely.
Today!
Now!
His chest heaved intensely, Shen Qingqing’s concern and worry stirred up the suppressed love within him.
He couldn’t hold back any longer!
He grabbed Shen Qingqing’s waist with one hand, preventing her escape, and used the other hand to brace against the wall, trapping her securely before him.
Shen Qingqing tried to squat and escape, but Jiang Zhixun’s extended arm moved down with her.
In any case, he wouldn’t let her leave.
Shen Qingqing gritted her teeth, "Jiang Zhixun!"
Jiang Zhixun lowered his head, staring straight into Shen Qingqing’s eyes, "Qingqing, why are you worried about ?"
His tone was gentle, unlike his usual self.
As if coaxing her to reveal her true thoughts from deep within.
Shen Qingqing replied, "I’m not thoughtless. Even if it were soone else, I would still be worried."
"Is that so?"
"What else would it be?"
Jiang Zhixun chuckled lightly, "But I feel, because it’s , you lose your composure this way."
Shen Qingqing glared at him, "Don’t be so narcissistic!"
Reaching out, she pushed against his chest, but instead of moving him away, he ca even closer.
Shen Qingqing held her breath, refusing to let the male scent invade her nostrils.
Through gritted teeth, she said, "Get lost already!"
"No," Jiang Zhixun said thick-skinnedly.
If it were soone else experiencing a similar situation, Qingqing might also be concerned, but perhaps not as urgently.
Jiang Zhixun was sure that in Shen Qingqing’s heart, he was special.
No matter if it was in the past or now!
A wave of heat surged within his chest, making him dizzy, feeling like he was floating.
It was as if he was walking on clouds, unsure and ungrounded, only getting an answer could make him feel stable.
"Shen Qingqing, you care about ."
Shen Qingqing’s breath faltered, scared to et the man’s eyes directly.
She averted her gaze, a faint blush appearing unnaturally on her face, "Your head must be ssed up to think and speak such nonsense!"
Her tone was fierce, but in Jiang Zhixun’s eyes, it was just bravado.
Incredibly cute.
Suppressing his laughter, he asked, "Since you care about , can we remarry?"
"You’re dreaming!" Shen Qingqing spat at him, "If it were another man, I might consider marriage!"
Jiang Zhixun felt a stab to his heart.
So, was her previous agreent to marry just because that soone wasn’t him, but Zhou Hansheng?
Thinking of his rival in love, Jiang Zhixun felt sour inside.
But at such a mont, he had to control his jealousy, not letting his rival ruin his chances.
Moreover, she didn’t refute the first half of his statent.
Qingqing indeed cared about him!
Jiang Zhixun bent low, adopting a humble posture.
All the indifference and alienation disappeared in this mont, his deep eyes were filled with love, as if ready to drown her.
In a gentle, enticing tone, "Fine, we won’t get married for now, but can we date?"
The man’s gaze was scorching, as if he would devour her whole should she nod.
Jiang Zhixun never hid his intentions.
From the day Shen Qingqing returned to the country, he made his stance clear.
He loved her.
He wanted to start anew with her.
Shen Qingqing felt a tightening in her chest, a little breathless.
Lowering her eyes, "When I chose to divorce, I was prepared never to reconcile. I don’t think there’s any point in rekindling a past love."
"There is, of course!"
Jiang Zhixun seed eager, but fearing to frighten Shen Qingqing, he forced himself to stay calm.
His face remained composed, but the hand around her waist tightened, exposing his inner panic.
"I failed in my duties as a husband before, caused you grievances, but now I have changed."
He spoke earnestly, not like soone who was lying.
Shen Qingqing suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of block in her heart, wanting to lash out at him.
"If you’ve changed, must I go back?"
"That’s not what I ant."
Shen Qingqing continued, "The previous sower and the future beneficiary—you treating your next wife well can be considered my good deed."
Jiang Zhixun couldn’t stand hearing this.
Whether it was his previous wife or any future wife, it should only be Shen Qingqing!
"There’s no one else."
Shen Qingqing frowned, "You’re so annoying!"
Having reached this point, Jiang Zhixun was unwilling to relent without the answer he sought.
"Clearly you care about too, why can’t you give a chance?"
"I don’t."
"You do!"
Jiang Zhixun used to be oblivious to emotions, not knowing how to reconcile their conflicts.
After being apart for so many years, he repeatedly thought over those years.
He finally understood, Shen Qingqing had, through daily cold wars, worn away her love for him.
It would be pointless to cling desperately.
He had to treat her well, show his best side, gradually accumulating her goodwill.
To make Shen Qingqing fall in love with the present him again.
Not to look back.
But to move forward!
"Give us both a chance, alright? If you decide against wanting to marry or even date in the future, we can part at any ti."
The struggling person paused.
This gave Jiang Zhixun hope; were it not for fearing Shen Qingqing might take the opportunity to escape, he would swear to the heavens to prove his sincerity.
Shen Qingqing didn’t trust him.
His inherent dominance and possessiveness predestined him not to be so easy-going.
Unless... he changed his mind.
"n’s words are deceiving ghosts!"
Jiang Zhixun replied, "If you don’t trust , we can sign a written agreent."
Shen Qingqing’s lips twitched, "A dating agreent?"
It was the first ti Jiang Zhixun heard this term, but he felt it was fitting.
Qingqing truly was a cultured person.
Her mind was nimble!
"As long as it reassures you, we’ll sign."
Take it step by step, first getting her back ho.
Having been divorced once, Jiang Zhixun wouldn’t let Shen Qingqing leave again.
Absolutely not!
Shen Qingqing knew his temper well and understood his plans.
Spitting once, she said, "What benefit does signing bring ?"
Jiang Zhixun replied frankly, "You’ll have a relationship partner."
Shen Qingqing responded, "I don’t care for one."
Her gaze swept over him, "If I really look for a partner, I want a younger one!"
Jiang Zhixun’s shortcomings could be changed, but age stood before him, and he couldn’t turn back ti to beco younger.
Feeling wronged, he remarked, "I’m not bad, you know, give it a try if you don’t believe."
Shen Qingqing didn’t listen, "I’m leaving now."
Reaching out, she pushed, causing the man before her to wobble and suddenly topple to one side.
Shen Qingqing was startled, her heart skipped a beat, nearly leaping to her throat as she instinctively grabbed Jiang Zhixun.
Being held within his embrace, Shen Qingqing belatedly realized she had been tricked by Jiang Zhixun again.
"You’re such a bastard!"
The emotional turmoil, perhaps even his exasperation, brought a teary tone to Shen Qingqing’s voice.
His strong arms tightly encircled Shen Qingqing, unwilling to let her go again.
Nuzzling her hair, his voice tender and wrapped in endearnt, with a hint of tenderness, "Let’s make up, please."
Shen Qingqing replied, "No reconciliation!"
Jiang Zhixun persisted, "Be my girlfriend, please."
Shen Qingqing was about to cry from his shalessness, "Can’t you have so decency!"
"No."
He only wanted Shen Qingqing!
To date her anew.
To remarry!
Holding Shen Qingqing’s cheeks in his hands, "Qingqing, don’t push away."
