Nie Yunfan felt as if his balls were aching. He had thought that only An Yue would have such a thing based on her inferiority complex. He didn’t expect An Qi’s strong appearance to actually hide such an insecurity.
Wouldn’t he be in even more trouble this time?!
“So, I think it’s better for me to have slightly lower aims. I only hope that my other half can be good to me and has enough motivation and ability. As long as he is kind and gentle, that’s enough.”
This request… was really broad! The corner of Nie Yunfan’s mouth twitched for a moment, and then as if he had just woken up from a dream, he hurriedly said, “Wait, you can’t overturn a boat full of people like that!”
“Huh?” An Qi turned her head in puzzlement. “What do you mean by overturning a boat full of people?”
“Uh… What I mean is, the criteria you have set are just generally good men all over the place, not taking into account the lack of family background. Only the rich who pay attention to family background stand out, you
know. There are many good ones laying low out there. You can’t overturn a boat full of people like that.”
An Qi smiled and rested against the balcony. She rested her chin on one hand and said, “I didn’t overturn a whole boat of people. I know the good kind of rich folk do exist. I just think that it’s unlikely for me to meet
such a person.”
“How is it impossible? How do you know it’s impossible if you don’t try?” Nie Yunfan’s anxious words came from his inner voice, and it finally made An Qi realize that Nie Yunfan was acting oddly today.
“You…” An Qi only had time to make a single utterance before Nie Yunfan grabbed her wrist. Her eyes suddenly narrowed, and she looked at Nie Yunfan in surprise, her face full of confusion.
“Can… [2”
“What?”
Nie Yunfan’s expression was unprecedentedly serious and solemn. “The person you want, if it’s me, can it work?”
An Qi was completely stunned. The expression on her face suddenly became somewhat blank. She stared at Nie Yunfan with wide eyes. After a long time, she finally managed to speak with difficulty. “What did you say?
Why… I don’t understand?”
Nie Yunfan stared hard at An Qi. He didn’t want her to have a chance to dodge the question. “Don’t you understand? Then let me put it another way. Can you give me a chance to dote on you, love you, and protect you?
Just like Ah Chen did with Yue Yue, no matter what, I can help you. No matter if it’s a rumor or a knife, I will stand in front of you and won’t let you suffer any more harm. I won’t let you be alone anymore. You will be
like Yue Yue. You will have me, my family, and our children in the future. Do you understand?”
An Qi felt her head go blank. After a long time, she said uncertainly, “Are you… confessing?”
Nie Yunfan nodded seriously, but An Qi found it ridiculous. The corners of her mouth twitched, and she wanted to laugh. However, under Nie Yunfan’s extremely serious gaze, she stopped. “You’re confessing to me?
You’re confessing to me? How can you confess to me? This isn’t funny at all.”
Nie Yunfan’s expression was somewhat unsightly. “Do you think I’m joking?”
“Isn’t it? How can you like me, look at me…”
“I’m serious!” Before An Qi could finish speaking, Nie Yunfan had already interrupted her with a low growl.
An Qi’s expression changed slightly. She bit her lip and lowered her head without saying a word.
A stifling silence spread between the two of them. In the end, An Qi was the first to open her mouth. There was a trace of regret and doubt in her voice. “You like me? What do you see in me?”
Nie Yunfan pursed his lips and said hoarsely, “I don’t know either.”
Perhaps it was because An Qi wasn’t like those loathsome women who insincerely threw their bodies at him for his money. She would be honest with him with her raw reactions, which made him feel a little fresh, or
perhaps it was because of An Qi’s strong sense of responsibility towards An Yue, her strong will attracted him, or… by the time he realized what was going on, he had already fallen for her.
He liked this person. He wanted to hold her in his arms and shield her from the wind and rain. He wanted to protect her from any harm.
There were so many women around him before, but An Qi was the first person who made him feel this way, so he didn’t want to miss out on her. He was determined to get this person!
“I don’t know what I like about you, but I know that as long as it’s you, I like everything about you. Your flaws, strengths, laughter, grief, as long as it’s about you, I like it all. If this isn’t love.., then I might really end up
alone for the rest of my life.
“So, now, what’s your answer?” Nie Yunfan looked straight into an Qi’s eyes, looking at her with anticipation and trepidation.
An Qi’s heart was in a mess. When she heard Nie Yunfan’s words, she reflexively wanted to look away. She lowered her head slightly, not daring to meet Nie Yunfan’s eyes. She replied in a muffled voice, “I… I don’t
know.”
Nie Yunfan lowered his head to look at An Qi’s hair. When he heard An Qi’s answer, he let out a sigh of relief. As long as it wasn’t a direct rejection, then it was fine. If it wasn’t a rejection, then it meant that he still had a
chance.
“It doesn’t matter. You can think about it. I’m willing to wait. But… | hope that you won’t reject me so quickly, and also don’t deliberately avoid me, okay?”
An Qi’s heart was already in a mess. When she heard Nie Yunfan’s words, she hesitated for a moment, but still nodded.
Nie Yunfan’s heart felt a weight lift off. He didn’t regret what he had done at that moment. This wasn’t a moment of impulsiveness, but a decision made after careful consideration.
Since he had already decided on this person, and had already reached the next level, the only thing missing was that last step. He should no longer be coy and tiptoe around this situation.
Rather than boiling a frog in warm water, he might as well open his mouth and assert himself.
Otherwise, who knew what would happen during this period of time? He could only watch helplessly as others snatched away the woman he loved, and by then, he had to silently stand by the side and bless them. He
would not do such a stupid thing!
Nie Yunfan had spoken his mind. The two of them, who had their own thoughts, didn’t notice that not long after they left the hall, a couple had noticed their departure and followed them out. They had heard
everything they said.
“I told you that this guy wouldn’t be able to hold it in for long. He just moved to An Qi’s house a few days ago, and he has already confessed in such a hurry. Isn’t he afraid of scaring people away?” Zhao Youlin stood in
front of the screen window on the side of the balcony. As she listened to Nie Yunfan’s words, the blue veins on her head couldn’t help but throb. She had a smirk on her face.
Mu Tingfeng was standing behind Zhao Youlin. When he heard this, he couldn’t help but reply, “If that’s the case, why don’t you step in?”
If Nie Yunfan had heard Mu Tingfeng’s words, he would definitely point at Mu Tingfeng with a red face and shout, “It was a mistake making friends with you, you’re such a terrible friend!”
If a brother was in trouble, it was fine if he didn’t help, but he actually planned to incite his wife to cause trouble. Such a friend was really insufferable!.
