Li Wenli’s gaze was intense, filled with an unwavering determination, and his voice brimmed with tender affection.
Bai Junjun’s heart uncontrollably skipped a beat.
Especially when he questioned himself, even entrusting his life to her...
To the people of The Apocalypse, that was the heaviest of promises...
Bai Junjun unconsciously nodded her head.
Li Wenli’s lips curled into a smile as he pulled her into his arms once more, sealing the embrace with a kiss.
"I always knew, no one else in this world is worthy of you but me."
Bai Junjun, who had been engulfed in the sweetness of the moment, was taken aback. What did Fox mean?
Was her market value so poor that only he was a match for her?
Bai Junjun couldn’t help but place her hands against Fox’s chest, desperately pushing him away: "Wait a minute, let’s get this straight, your words are ambiguous."
"?" Li Wenli was utterly confused.
Where was the ambiguity?
Weren’t they a match made in heaven, perfect for each other, or was that not the case?
Bai Junjun shook her head: "No, Miss here is still in demand, and there are more good men in this world than just you. I can still make another choice."
"That won’t do, you’ve already agreed just now, I won’t accept any take-backs," Fox stated dominantly: "I’ve given you my life, you can’t just expect me to take it back that easily."
"???" Bai Junjun was puzzled: "At least give me a probation period, big brother. If you force a sale , what will we do if it doesn’t work out later?"
"Put up with it," Li Wenli grinned mischievously.
"Put up with it?" Bai Junjun’s eyebrows furrowed as she rebuked him: "I can’t stand your temper, with all your pettiness, narrow-mindedness, and extreme grudges these past few days... the assessment fails."
Li Wenli pressed his lips together, slightly embarrassed: "That’s because I was jealous."
"Jealous of what?" Bai Junjun was perplexed.
"You were out on a nighttime stroll in the Imperial Capital with Yuwen Jun, just the two of you. Isn’t that a good enough reason for jealousy? If one day, I went out on a date with a young lady, how would you feel?"
"I was clearly gathering information and incidentally dealing with this annoying matter. When was it ever a date?" Bai Junjun felt utterly wronged.
"May I ask if that annoying matter has been dealt with?"
Li Wenli crossed his arms with a disgruntled look, slanting an eye: "As far as I know, that irksome annoyance asked Yuwen Luanfei tonight to take you away with him. Seems like Miss’s persuasion didn’t quite work, did it?"
Bai Junjun’s eyes widened: "That guy really said that?"
"While you were outside," Li Wenli said languidly, shrugging his shoulders.
Bai Junjun was exasperated. Yuwen Jun was really speechless, good thing Yuwen Luanfei was from their own nation.
If Yuwen Luanfei really sent her off to Yuwen Jun to form an alliance, she would be furious.
Concerned, Bai Junjun couldn’t help but ask, "Yuwen Luanfei didn’t agree, did he?"
Fortunately, when they parted, Yuwen Luanfei acted as if nothing had happened, at least giving her a heads-up, letting her know that Yuwen Jun’s ambitions weren’t yet crushed by her.
Seeing Miss’s battle-ready appearance, Li Wenli finally felt much better and immediately pulled Bai Junjun into his arms.
"Don’t worry, next time he comes, we’ll just throw the marriage contract at him and let him know you’re already taken. If he dares, let him step over my body; otherwise, there’s no way he’s taking you away."
Bai Junjun glanced at him: "You really do save effort, don’t you? Confession, proposal, and marriage all done in one go."
