Chapter 1541 Xiao Tian, I Love You

It had been a few minutes since the trio arrived at the fireworks festival. Mu Ai was still sitting on his lap and smiling happily because she could see fireworks later.

As Xiao Tian was talking with Mu Ai, Xi Ran kept stealing glances at him.

'Should I confess to him now?'

She could no longer hold back her feelings, so she suddenly had the idea of confessing her love to him.

Sure, there was a possibility of him rejecting her love, but from her point of view, it was better than hiding it because there was also a possibility of them becoming a couple.

However, it was not as easy as she thought because she felt like the words were stuck in her throat whenever she wanted to confess her feelings.please visit frℯ𝑒𝘸𝚎𝚋𝓷૦ѵℯl.c𝒐m.

It would be her first time confessing her love to someone because all this time, men were the ones who confessed to her.

'Xiao Tian, I love you. Let's become a couple.'

She practiced confessing her love to him in her mind.

'No. I should not say it like that."

She shook her head.

'Xiao Tian, I'm in love with you. Shall we become lovers now?'

She shook her head again.

'Xiao Tian, you are like the moon to me, illuminating my dark life, so let's become a couple.'

She did not know why she suddenly made poetry.

'Sigh. Expressing love is not as easy as I thought.'

But even so, she did not give up.

'I will just make it simple. The point is to convey my feelings to him.'

She decided not to use poetry.

'Xiao Tian, I like you. Do you want to be my boyfriend?'

After thinking for several seconds, she decided to use that method.

Xiao Tian turned his head to look at Xi Ran. "Lady Xi, what's wrong? Is there something on my face?"

'Why does she keep looking at me?'

He did not know what she had in mind because it was hard to read her mind.

"Xiao Tian, I lo-" she could not finish her words because she felt like the words were stuck in her throat.

"Hmm?" he did not get her words.

'Lady Xi, I can try to guess your thoughts if you don't put on a poker face.'

Of course, he would not say it because it could hurt her feelings.

"Big sister, are you not feeling well?" Mu Ai asked.

Xi Ran's poker face softened. "No. Do you want to sit with big sister?"

Mu Ai shifted her gaze to Xiao Tian before returning her attention to Xi Ran. She had been sitting on his lap for more than twenty minutes, so she thought it was Xi Ran's turn.

For this reason, she immediately sat on Xi Ran's lap. "Un."

Xiao Tian only smiled when Mu Ai sat on Xi Ran's lap.

'I'm glad their relationship is getting closer.'

Of course, he was not jealous of Xi Ran; instead, he was pleased.

'I'm sure lady Xi is charmed by my little Ai's cuteness. As expected of my little angel, you are indeed amazing. Worthy of being my future daughter.'

He praised Mu Ai like usual.

Xi Ran decided to talk about other things because it would be awkward if they remained silent.

Without realizing it, it had been forty-five minutes since they arrived at the festival. At this moment, Mu Ai was sitting on Xiao Tian's lap again.

Even though she liked Xi Ran, but she loved Xiao Tian more. In this world, her mother was number one, and Xiao Tian was number two.

That was why she sat on his lap again, because she liked it.

"Big brother, when are they going to shoot fireworks?" Mu Ai wanted to see fireworks immediately because she had been waiting for forty-five minutes.

"In fifteen minutes." He gave an honest answer.

"It's still long." Mu Ai put on a sad face.

"Then how about playing a game with big brother now?" he inquired.

"What game?" she asked curiously.

"Word connect game." He responded, "Little Ai has to connect words based on the last word."

He then continued, "For example. If big brother says blue cat, then little Ai has to arrange words that start with cat like cat sleeps on the sofa."

"I understand." Mu Ai nodded her head cutely. "Let's play the game now."

As Xiao Tian and Mu Ai were playing the word connect game, Xi Ran skimmed her surroundings.

'Hmm?'

She saw a young couple lovey-dovey not far from her.

Not only that, but several people were also lovey-dovey because it was an excellent time to be lovey-dovey.

'Why do I feel jealous? Why do I want to do that too?'

She turned her head to look at Xiao Tian.

Deep inside her, she also wanted to lovey-dovey with Xiao Tian, but their status was not a couple.

'But even so, I still desire….'

She moved closer to him.

'Why didn't he make a move on me?'

She was currently sitting very close to him.

'Isn't he a playboy? Isn't it easy for a playboy to read a woman's mind?'

She did not know why he did not make a move on her.

'Is it because of my expression?'

She suddenly thought he could not read her mind because of her poker face.

'Should I make the first move?'

She suddenly wavered.

'But I'm a woman. Isn't it a man's job to make the first move?'

She kept staring at his handsome face.

'He is really attractive.'

She involuntarily praised his handsomeness.

'Why is he so attractive? Is it because I'm in love with him?'

She shut her eyes for two seconds.

'I should make the first move, or else nothing will change in our relationship.'

But she did not know what to do.

'Should I kiss him? Or should I hug him?'

She shook her head.

'We are in a public area, and countless people are around us, so I can't do that.'

After thinking for several seconds, she finally knew what to do.

'I will do that.'

With that idea in mind, she suddenly held Xiao Tian's right hand.

Xiao Tian was startled.

He was shocked when she suddenly held his right hand.

'Hmm? Why is she suddenly holding my hand?'

He did not know why she suddenly held his right hand.

'Wait!'

Even though she put on a poker face, but he could slightly understand her actions.

'Did a spark of love blossom in her heart?'

After remembering what they had done or been through together, he was ninety percent sure that a spark of love had blossomed within her.

At this moment, Xiao Tian and Xi Ran looked each other in the eyes. They did not say anything, as if they were communicating through their eyes.

'Then what should I do now?'

She was thinking about her next move.

'Should I lean my head on his shoulder?'

She did not realize that she was behaving like a teenager.

*Thump…Thump…Thump…

Her heart beat fast.

The longer she looked at his handsome face, the faster her heart beat.

'I can't hold back my feelings anymore. I have to tell him what I feel.'

She did not care about what his answer would be.

She opened her little mouth and spoke, "Xiao Tian, I love you."
