Chapter 801 We Will Be Happy (1/2)

”Yanni, it's not your fault.” Wesley felt a stab of anxiety on hearing Yanni say her piece. He added in haste, ”It's REALLY not your fault.”

Wesley was wringing her hands in helplessness. Noticing this, Yanni was touched at him being so concerned. She soothed him immediately, ”Fine. You have just woken up and shouldn't exert too much. Don't say anything for now. Take some good rest and let your body recover properly.”

Wesley slightly nodded but his eyes refused to budge from Yanni's face. It was as if he were afraid that she might disappear all of a sudden.

His unwavering gaze made Yanni flush red with embarrassment. Though she tried hard to ignore Wesley's eyes, her acting cool and calm wasn't working at all.

Yanni's flushed face drove the point home for Wesley. He realized the effect he had on her and then turned his eyes electrified by the tension between them. Soon enough, the air was so thick that it could be cut by a knife.

Yanni finally relaxed when she saw Wesley turn his eyes away. She realized that Wesley was feeling embarrassed as well. After all, she had been in a relationship once so she summoned up her courage soon.

”Wesley, I have something to tell you,”

Yanni said, looking at Wesley.

”What is it?” Wesley still didn't dare look at Yanni so he spoke in a quiet tone but looked away.

”After what happened yesterday evening, I got in touch with my feelings after what seems like a really long time. I actually care about you. If you don't mind that I haven't completely forgotten Kenneth, would you consider dating me?”

Yanni looked straight at Wesley taking in the smallest of movements as she waited for an answer.

Wesley had hardly seen this coming. He was amazed to hear Yanni reciprocate feelings for him. Astonished and excited, Wesley slowly mumbled, ”Yan... Yanni... are you serious?” Wesley's eyes were lit up and his face looked animated. He peered into Yanni's eyes to judge the seriousness behind her words.

”Of course, I'm serious. Have I ever kidded you before?” Yanni answered with a sincere expression.

”Am I dreaming now?” Wesley looked at Yanni's tender face and still couldn't believe what Yanni had just said. He kept on staring at Yanni, shocked and in awe.

Meanwhile, Yanni didn't say anything but look at Wesley with a bright smile.

There was palpable tension in the room and Wesley's feelings were all topsy turvy as he took a while to digest the news.

A couple of minutes later, Wesley calmed

“Who does she think she is? I won’t marry her even if she is the last woman on earth,” said Hiram Rong.

“Marry into a family with tens of billions of assets? How lucky I am! I won’t be so foolish as to break off the engagement. At worst, I can receive money as part of the divorce settlement,” said Rachel Ruan.

Their great-grandfathers made a pact about their engagement a hundred years ago...

atmosphere was too quiet for them as they felt slight unease creeping in.
