101 Chapter 101 Confession (2/2)
Feng Jun Yi blushed with her choice of words. ”It is basically like that. But if you put it that way it really does sound a bit presumptuous of me. I'm sorry.” He then stood up from his seat on the other side of the small round table and half kneeled in front of Lin Xulian while still clasping her hands. Xu Yichen said that the ladies like this kind of gesture when they were confessed to. ”What I wanted is for you to give me a chance to be your husband and open your heart to the possibility of developing good feelings with me.”
'Wait! Wait! Is he really serious?!' Lin Xulian's mind keeps running wild. ”C-can I think about it?” She finally said. She decided to consult her mother or sister-in-law first.
Feng Jun Yi expected this response. But he still felt disappointed. ”Do you have someone you like?” Feng Jun Yi asked nervously.
Lin Xulian shook her head in denial. ”It's not because I like someone or anything. It's just that I haven't thought about stuff like that yet. You see my parents met and married each other in the later years of their lives so I thought there is no need to rush on these things.” What Lin Xulian said made sense.
”Then what about Rui?” Feng Jun Yi added.
”Why? What's with big brother Rui?” Lin Xulian is visibly confused why Feng Jun Yi mentioned her big brother.
Seeing her reaction, Feng Jun Yi heaved a sigh of relief. 'Good. It seems she still had no idea. Rui hasn't overtaken me yet.' ”It's nothing relevant. I just felt like he hates me for some reason.”
”Now that you mention it, you two had a really thick hostile air around you earlier.”
”It baffles me too.”
He lied.
Noticing that their topic diverted away from his mission, Feng Jun Yi looked intently into Lin Xulian's eyes. ”Lian'er, I really do hope you will consider what I said. I really do like you. Not just as my savior and my ideal empress but also as a woman.”
His piercing stare made Lin Xulian's heart itch and beat faster than normal. She never felt this way before so she is at loss on what to do or what to say. ”I will. Just give me some time. I'm not going anywhere anyway. And as you said, I am your wife already. A real one.” But deep inside she was thinking. 'I need to consult someone about this quick. Anyone will do!'
Hearing her confirmation Feng Jun Yi finally felt relieved. He also doesn't want to rush her but Rui's presence is starting to become a threat.
