"Zishen, want to watch a movie?" Tang Xiaowan asked in a low voice.
"You go ahead and watch, I need to discuss so things with Bai Long."
"Oh, alright."
Tang Xiaowan opened her phone with a smile tugging at her lips.
She was excited, even extrely so, because later at night she would get to explore i Garden again, sleep on Granny’s big bed, and seek out the truth behind the night raid.
To her, this was currently the most important thing.
The car gradually beca quiet until Tang Xiaowan picked a movie, put on her headphones, and only then did Li Zishen pick up his phone again to continue checking his ssages.
After thinking for a mont, he composed a ssage and sent it: "Are you sure everything has been checked clearly?"
"Yes."
A slight movent traced Li Zishen’s lips, his phoenix eyes gray: "Be careful when handling it; don’t alarm Xiaowan or Cheng Shi, and if necessary, communicate with Chen Xin."
"Don’t worry, Brother Shen, I’ll pay attention."
Every ti Tang Xiaowan was by his side, Li Zishen would assign tasks to Bai Long through ssages. It had beco a routine.
But this ti, his thoughts were in turmoil.
"Xiaowan, shall we get engaged?"
Tang Xiaowan was lounging comfortably, thoroughly enjoying the video she was watching when Li Zishen’s pop-up ssage suddenly appeared, catching her completely off guard.
She touched her nose, her cheeks puffing out.
"Answer , don’t evade."
Another ssage popped up. Tang Xiaowan pretended not to see it, removed her earphones, and turned her head towards the window.
But her deanor gave her away without any doubt.
She was a bit nervous and a little timid, not knowing how to face Li Zishen’s intense gaze.
Good heavens, what’s gotten into this guy; has he gone mad?
What about what he agreed upon last night; why the change of heart?
If I refuse, will he turn around and... escort to Li Garden?
No, that won’t do, I must return to i Garden today.
Tang Xiaowan slowly turned her head back, "The weather isn’t too bad today, how about we have a barbecue tonight? Oh, actually, hotpot is also fine. Last ti I went back to i Garden, I found a super exquisite copper hotpot stove in the kitchen, shall we try it tonight?"
She babbled on, yet didn’t ntion a word about getting engaged.
Li Zishen’s gaze was fervent, perhaps driven by a protective desire, when he suddenly seized Tang Xiaowan’s hand and brought it to his lips, "Xiaowan, stop running away, let’s get engaged when we return to Jin City, okay?"
Yet his words carried a hint of pleading.
Chen Xin: What’s wrong with Brother Shen, why so humble?
On Tang Xiaowan’s end, she was too flustered to speak, rely allowing Li Zishen to touch the tips of her fingers over and over again.
Their eyes t, breathing quickened.
"I don’t rember the past... it’s okay, don’t be afraid, but Xiaowan, you must believe , before the accident... we had really defined our relationship, and you had agreed to marry , really, I’m not lying to you, please believe ."
Li Zishen once again made his stance clear, with a tone so gentle it was suffocating.
At that mont, the air seed to freeze, whether it was Chen Xin driving or Li Zishen full of sweet earnestness, both were waiting for Tang Xiaowan’s response.
"Zishen, maybe in the past..."
She hadn’t finished speaking when Li Zishen cut in, "Xiaowan, sitting in the car for so long must be tiring, right? You’ve been busy since early morning, co on, lie down and sleep a bit."
"What... what?"
"We’ll probably still have three hours until we reach i Garden, sleep for a bit, I’ll wake you up when we get there."
Li Zishen again interrupted Tang Xiaowan’s words, then gently laid her down on his lap, his right hand touching her glossy black hair while his left hand held Tang Xiaowan’s slender hand.
"Sleep, close your eyes."
Tears glistened in his bright phoenix eyes, as if he had thousands of words to say but found them hard to utter.
Li Zishen slowly turned his head and looked out the window.
