Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After Pei Yucheng had relented, his a.s.sistant and bodyguards retreated out of the room. Pei Nanxu and Pei Yutang left as well, leaving Lin Yan alone with Pei Yucheng in the living room.
Lin Yan had always felt that their relationship didn’t feel real. She had also felt that Pei Yucheng was out of reach and there was no way she could get close to him. It had never crossed her mind that he would change his mind just because she had pleaded with him.
Pei Yucheng stood up and strode outside the French windows as Lin Yan trailed after him.
The night was cold and the water reflected the starry sky.
“Mr. Pei… I… Can I ask you a question?”
“What is it?”
“That… Why did you accept my profession of love so readily and even made me your girlfriend?” Lin Yan had to get this burning question out of her.
She was really curious. Even though she had come up with many reasons, she still found it unbelievable.
Pei Yucheng turned his head and gazed deeply at her, as though he didn’t want her to breathe a word to anyone else. “You think that… I just casually agreed to it?”
Lin Yan, who got a fright, waved her hands to dismiss this notion. “No, no, no! I didn’t mean that you are a casual guy! I just felt surprised, since you’re a man of extraordinary status. We are really from two different worlds. Furthermore, you didn’t contact me, so I a.s.sumed that you weren’t serious about it.
Actually, I’ve mulled over this matter for a long time. I also spent some time feeling remorse, as I think that I went overboard with my confession the other day. Actually, I just wanted to look at you from afar, but I did some atrocious, bold acts while I was drunk. I swear that my admiration for you is pure and I don’t have any ulterior motives. I didn’t really think that you would agree, so…”
Pei Yucheng glanced at her, unconcerned and unperturbed. “So?”
Lin Yan swallowed her saliva.
‘So… Should we break up?’ Lin Yan thought to herself.
She was about to blurt her thoughts out, but she changed her mind in the end. “So… So I… I will treasure you even more… like you even more… and be devoted to you…”
Pei Yucheng studied the girl’s nervous expression and grinned. “Are you afraid of me?”
Lin Yan let out a dry, nervous laugh. “Nope… I’m not… That’s just respect… and admiration… To me, you’re like a G.o.d who doesn’t live amongst mortals… You can only be watched from afar and no one can touch you… I feel that by dating me… you will be tarnished…”
Why was it so hard to break up with him?
Sir! I’m really not worthy of you!
Pei Yucheng fell silent for a long time.
Lin Yan, who couldn’t guess his thoughts, felt uneasy. She stole a furtive glance at him and accidentally met his eyes, which were as deep as the night…
“What if you could do more than just watch me?” asked the man.
Lin Yan felt as if her heart was about to leap out of her chest. This, this… What was he trying to say?
Was it what she was thinking?
Pei Yucheng extended his hand and gently pressed it against the girl’s neck. “Don’t be so nervous. I already promised you that our relationship wouldn’t affect your life at all. Your att.i.tude, thoughts, even the way you address me, can remain the same. You don’t have to change a thing. I want you to be comfortable with me.”
Lin Yan had originally planned on breaking up with him, but his words had shattered that thought.
This boyfriend was too perfect and wonderful!
No wonder that Pei Yucheng had never once corrected the way she addressed him. He even addressed her formally as ‘Miss Lin’ so that she wouldn’t feel uncomfortable.
