His voice was soft and mellow, in such an enclosed space, it sounded especially sultry and charming, "Anning, once we’re done filming this movie, let’s go public with our relationship, okay?"
She was startled, then, nodding slightly, a faint tenderness bloomed in her heart, "Okay."
He smiled, a smile that spread like the distant coastline, "I know you’re afraid being exposed will affect our normal life. Those relentless paparazzi will hunt you down, and the fans will chase after you too. But I can’t wait any longer. I want to settle things sooner."
She looked deeply into his eyes, seeing the calmness within, and blossoms of joy erupted in her heart, "Okay."
"You don’t have to worry, although my identity is somewhat troublesome, but believe me, I can protect you," Yu Zexiao’s hands, wrapping around her slender waist, one large hand on her bottom, moved her a bit forward, pulling her tightly against himself. It was as if he wanted to maintain the stance where their hearts were connected.
She hummed in agreement, nodding, feeling that the overly handsome man before her was indeed keeping his promise — taking responsibility for their relationship. No, it was more than that — even considering the long road of life ahead for the two of them.
Yes, although Yu Zexiao hadn’t uttered a word about marriage, every word he spoke was about their future together.
In this glitzy world, finding a man who you truly like and who cherishes his affection for you isn’t easy. What’s even more precious is that this man has genuinely considered an official status for both of them!
With my name, I crown you with mine.
What could represent a deeper love than this?
She nodded, feeling waves of pink love bubbling up inside her.
Although he hadn’t mentioned marriage, every word he uttered considered their future, which touched her inexplicably!
"If you find it troublesome, we could live in Canada for a while afterward. Once things calm down here, I’ll bring you back," he suggested.
No matter what he said, Jian Anning only held onto his neck, resting her head on his shoulder, gently nodding.
It was too blissful, the happiness so sudden and complete, she could hardly believe it!
"So—once the filming is over and I’ve settled things with my dad, I’ll find the right time to formally bring you home," he said. "What about you? Would you like to introduce me to your family?"
At the mention of this, Jian Anning instantly stiffened!
Her family? Was he referring to her mother’s side? Yu Zexiao looked at her, somewhat puzzled, as Jian Anning said, "I think you know that my father is no longer with me."
Yu Zexiao nodded his head, and Jian Anning explained with a wry smile, "My parents divorced when I was very young, and I was always with my dad. But in my first year of high school, my father and grandparents were in a car accident while out together—my father died in that car trying to save me. My grandparents also...."
As she spoke, her entire body leaned against him, trembling gently.
