He covered her with a blanket and was about to turn away, but then noticed Bai Yiran looking at him with big watery eyes. Because she had just been crying, her eyes at the moment were like those of a little deer, watery and adorably endearing.
"Can you stay with me?"
"What did you say?" Leng Yichen obviously didn’t expect Bai Yiran to say such a thing.
Bai Yiran suddenly reached out and grabbed him, "You’re really handsome!"
"Girl, you’re drunk, let go of my hand." Leng Yichen was somewhat helpless.
"No!" Bai Yiran shook her head, her eyelashes fluttering, "Luo Chen despises me for not being romantic, not being open-minded, unwilling to sleep with him. Actually, I wanted to save the best for him. But he doesn’t want it; he slept with someone else! So, I want to sleep with someone else too!"
"Little girl, let go, you’re not thinking clearly right now."
Bai Yiran suddenly lifted her head and lightly tapped Leng Yichen’s lips, "I’m really clear-headed right now! I don’t want anyone but you!"
...
Early in the morning, Bai Yiran suddenly woke up, recalling what happened last night. She broke out in a cold sweat immediately and turned her head sharply, relieved to find the room empty, which allowed her to relax a little.
Ding-dong, at this moment the bedroom doorbell rang. Bai Yiran’s body tensed up, frozen as she listened for sounds outside.
"Room service!"
The sound of the door opening.
"Put it on the table over there." A man’s deep voice.
"Okay, Mr. Leng."
Bai Yiran looked at the door, feeling overwhelmed, not knowing what to do next or how to face the man outside the bedroom...
Just when Bai Yiran was at a loss, the door opened and a tall man, dressed neatly, walked in. Bai Yiran immediately shrank back, looking at the man who came in with panic.
Leng Yichen glanced at the panicked Bai Yiran, his voice still rather gentle, "Come out to have breakfast."
When Bai Yiran came out, the table was full of food, and Leng Yichen was already sitting there eating. She watched Leng Yichen, noting how particularly clean and elegant he looked while eating.
Leng Yichen poured her a cup of coffee, "I didn’t know what you like to eat, so I ordered a bit of everything."
After that, Leng Yichen continued eating without saying anything else.
Bai Yiran looked at the food before her; she really couldn’t eat as if nothing had happened. Stammering for a long time, she finally mustered the courage to speak, "Um..."
"Let’s get married." Leng Yichen said plainly, as if he were talking about the nice weather today.
But it startled Bai Yiran, "What did you say?"
Leng Yichen put down the knife and fork in his hand, looked up at Bai Yiran, his brown eyes particularly beautiful in the sunlight, "Marry me."
Ugh... Bai Yiran didn’t expect things to turn out this way; she never thought about making this stranger take any responsibility, "Um... I don’t need you to take responsibility, last night was partly my fault too... there’s no need for marriage..."
"My name is Leng Yichen, I am 28 years old, and I run a relatively sizable enterprise. If you marry me, I can give you the life you want." Leng Yichen’s tone was as if he were negotiating an equitable trade with Bai Yiran - you marry me, and I’ll give you the life you want.
"The life I want..." If previously, the life Bai Yiran fantasized about was going abroad with Luo Chen, now that her fantasy was shattered, what kind of life does she want in the future? Bai Yiran was very confused, suddenly realizing that without Luo Chen in her life, it was like having no goal at all. Bai Yiran smiled bitterly, "I don’t even know what kind of life I want."
