Chapter 120 - 120: We’ll Be Together For As Long As My Heartbeats
She immediately replied, “I’m here.”
“My name is Xie Xuan. I’m 26 years old. I’m not a cafe waiter. The people around me aren’t my colleagues or friends. They’re my brothers who have risked their lives with me. Haiqiao, do you understand?”
Although he wasn’t that straightforward, he believed that Lu Haiqiao was smart enough to understand.
Lu Haiqiao looked down.
She was once someone who had stepped into hell. How could she not understand the meaning of “risk their lives”?
“So, Haiqiao, think about it carefully. It’s not too late to turn back now.”
But it was too late for him.
Under the night sky, rows of faint yellow lights lit up on both sides of the yacht dock. From afar, it looked like a sky full of stars had descended on the mortal world. It was colorful and dreamy.
Lu Haiqiao smiled slightly. “My name is Lu Haiqiao. I’m twenty-four years old this year, and I’m a reporter for a magazine. I’m also my grandfather’s granddaughter, uncle’s niece, mother’s obedient daughter, and… Xie Xuan’s girlfriend!”
As soon as she said that, Xie Xuan stared at her.
After a long time, he said in a hoarse voice, “You really don’t regret it?”
Lu Haiqiao’s eyes were filled with determination and a hint of arrogance. She shook her head. “I don’t regret it, and I won’t turn back. I only want you.”
He was the person she thought about day and night. Even if he was a demon from hell, she was willing to sink into oblivion with him.
“But Xuan, promise me that from now on, I’ll also be the one who will risk my life with you!”
Lu Haiqiao’s palm moved to his heart. Through his firm chest, she could vaguely feel his heartbeat.
“You’re the one who said that we’ll be together for as long as our hearts beat.”
Hearing this, Xie Xuan was stunned.
Then, his expression relaxed, and he smiled dotingly at her.
Lu Haiqiao was really smart.
Whether it was said or not, she understood everything.
He had wanted to have dinner with her, create a romantic environment, and then confess his love.
Unexpectedly, the plan couldn’t keep up with the changes. With his nap on the way, all the arrangements were disrupted.
However, the sense of ceremony and romance were no longer important at this moment.
She was his sense of ritual. She was all his romance.
Suddenly, Lu Haiqiao opened her arms to him. “Xuan, give me a hug.”
No matter how smart and quick-witted she was, she was still that lovely girl deep down.
Xie Xuan pulled her back into his arms.
He hugged her and buried his nose into her soft hair. He could vaguely smell the fragrance of grapefruit in the car.
“Lu Haiqiao, I’m in love with you.
“You’re the first girl I’ve loved in my life.”
He had thought that Lu Haiqiao should have responded to such a passionate confession in the same manner.
However, she nestled in his arms and smiled naughtily in a corner that he couldn’t see.
“I see. So, you’ve only been in love with men before?”
Xie Xuan didn’t know what to say.
Lu Haiqiao couldn’t stay romantic for more than three seconds before she started being naughty again.
Since she wanted to be naughty, he would be naughty with her.
He let go of her and stared at her with his enchanting eyes.
Suddenly, Xie Xuan reached out and gently pinched her nose after caressing her cheek. “My grandfather and father can barely be considered the men I love..”
