Chapter 2094: Chapter 2113: I Like You
Shen Weixing is truly afraid; Brother and Sister-in-law dream of having Little An marry a chief. If they find out, they’ll flaunt it everywhere. If they encourage Little An to do something shameful, it would be a disaster.
Zhao Honglian is scared now too, "Why didn’t you tell me earlier? If you had told me earlier, I could have been prepared."
"I didn’t know either!" He only learned about it from Captain Xue on the way back.
It’s said that Director Su’s background is even bigger than the chief’s, and bigger than that of Deputy Director Xie, which is why when the regimental commander and Deputy Director Xie clashed today, Director Su resolved it with a few words.
...
Shen Zian once again woke up from a nightmare, suddenly sitting up. The room was dimly lit, with silver moonlight pouring through the window, adding a layer of dreamy beauty to the night. She reached out randomly, trying to grab the water cup on the bedside table, but couldn’t find it after fumbling for a long time.
Suddenly, a water cup was handed to her.
"Thank you!" She thanked out of habit; only after speaking did she realize something was wrong. She swiftly grabbed the person’s wrist, but they were not easy to deal with either. The cup fell to the ground, and the two of them tussled together.
In the struggle, the opponent anticipated all her moves, slowly gaining the upper hand with superior strength.
Shen Zian was pinned to the bed, unable to move, completely at a disadvantage.
She didn’t scream because, amid the entanglement, she had already caught the familiar scent of the person.
"Su Er!" she gritted her teeth.
"Haha!" In the night, Su Hai chuckled, pressing tightly against her, face buried in her neck, "You’re calling me Su Er, but won’t admit it? My intuition can’t be wrong. How long are you planning to deceive me?"
Shen Zian knew long ago she couldn’t hide from this Foxy Su, but didn’t expect to be exposed so quickly.
"Su Er, what exactly do you want?"
"I want you." Su Hai suddenly held her tightly, his deep eyes flickering with bright flames, intensely gazing at her.
Shen Zian’s breath caught, her heart skipped a beat, "I... don’t understand, what do you mean?" It definitely wasn’t what she thought, yes, it must be that she’s overthinking.
This Foxy Su loves to talk in twists and turns.
"I like you, Zi’an." His voice was low and hoarse, yet his tone was extremely firm.
"You..."
"I’ve always, always liked you." Su Hai’s face buried in her neck, his expression hidden, but his voice carried a hint of uncontrollable pain.
Shen Zian felt the skin on her neck moisten, instantly freezing her entire being. Her heart seemed gripped by an invisible large hand, feeling both sour and bitter, her eyes slowly moistening. In that moment, all the discomfort brought by rebirth, the downfall of her family, the fate of her relatives erupted all at once.
She wasn’t as indifferent as she thought.
They were her family, her responsibility, everything she had fought for. Now it’s all gone, everything has changed, except for this man, only Su Er remains the same.
Tears silently rolled down her cheeks.
"I’ve waited for you for ten years, more than three thousand days and nights. I thought I’d never get there again, I thought it’d be like this for the rest of my life. But fate ultimately favored me, it returned you to me." Su Hai held her with a terrifying strength, wishing to blend her into his bones.
"Su Er..."
"Do you like me? Will you marry me?" Su Hai raised his head, his gaze burning.
Shen Zian was made a bit embarrassed by his persistent attitude, mostly shy, helpless, "I..." For some reason, as soon as she met his gaze, Shen Zian felt her heart race, her body go weak.
But such a proud person as she was reluctant to admit defeat.
