That feeling... magical, thrilling, as if it could ignite a person completely.
Xing Chen shook his head and smiled suddenly, glancing at Lou Xining with deep meaning in his eyes, "I heard you’ve had quite a few women over the years. Did you love each one of them?"
Judging true love by the body’s reaction is too shallow.
A brief impulse only indicates that it is purely a physical response.
Lou Xining was choked for a moment and quickly waved his hand, "Who hasn’t had a youthful indiscretion? But you, are you doubting my professionalism?"
As he spoke, he started to refuse to lose. Lou Xining thought for a moment and then provided additional evidence, "Having an impulse certainly doesn’t mean it’s love, but if you have an impulse and can still hold back for her sake, that’s love."
As soon as these words were spoken, Xing Chen’s whole body stiffened.
The hand holding the wine glass also paused.
The liquid that quickly returned to calm reflected his incredibly shocked black eyes.
He indeed could feel desire for Ran Xiangsi at any moment and could stop at a very agitated moment for her sake...
At first, it was because of the injury on her head; he didn’t want to hurt her.
Later, it was because of the confusion in her eyes; he didn’t want to hurt her either.
God knows how difficult it was for him to hold back, but he never forced her.
All these actions seemed so questionable to Xing Chen. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ NovᴇlFirᴇ(.)nᴇt
But now, with Lou Xining’s words, it was like the clouds parted, and everything became clear.
So, he fell in love with her first?
So, he was eager to make her fall in love with him too?
So, he used such decisive means to force her to get a marriage certificate with him?
"I see..." Xing Chen’s hand slightly lifted the wine glass, bringing the drink to his lips and downing it in one gulp.
Sure enough, chatting with Lou Xining was very necessary.
Lou Xining saw that he couldn’t hide the smile at the corner of his mouth and his eyes became clearer and more joyful, quickly added, "It looks like something has already happened between you two..."
For Lou Xining, observing Xing Chen’s emotional changes was a very fun thing to do!
Mainly because the guy was usually serious and stern, and suddenly having emotional ups and downs was very entertaining, wasn’t it?
But as soon as he said that, Xing Chen’s cold eyes glanced over, scaring Lou Xining into silence, no longer teasing.
Murong Family’s car had arrived.
"Xiangsi, I’ll go in first, and you come in five minutes later." Murong Jialan looked around the venue, not sure what she was looking for.
Ran Xiangsi found her behavior a bit strange and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
"Uh... no one, I’ll go first." After saying that, she got out of the car first.
Murong Jialan was mysterious throughout, leaving Ran Xiangsi puzzled.
But she still sat in the car as told, waiting five minutes before getting out unhurriedly, led into the venue by a waiter.
The entrance to the venue was on a high platform, with the actual ball taking place at the steps below the platform.
Ran Xiangsi wore a lake-blue strapless waist-cinching long dress, a silver-white translucent ice mask, her stunning beauty half-concealed, alluring and captivating!
As soon as she appeared, a burst of exclamations erupted from the crowd below...
