Chapter 83 - Chapter 83: Do You Have a Woman You Like? (2/2)

This had never happened before…

“Qi Shenbai, answer me…” Xu Jiaojiao spoke again after Qi Shenbai did not answer for a long time.

Qi Shenbai’s throat bobbed. He seemed to sigh the word, “No.”

Hearing this answer, Xu Jiaojiao did not seem to be discouraged. Instead, she revealed a faint smile. “Does that mean I can pursue you now?”

Qi Shenbai fell into a short silence. He originally thought that Xu Jiaojiao would ask if she could be his girlfriend, but she only asked for permission to pursue him.

It was as if she had never thought that he would like her as well.

This was rather unexpected.

She spoke very carefully, as if she had always been afraid of causing trouble and burdening others.

Even her confession was…

“Does this mean that you like me?” Qi Shenbai looked at her quietly.

Perhaps it was because of the alcohol, but Xu Jiaojiao gained courage that she had never had before. She nodded her head lightly.

Qi Shenbai did not speak for a long time, but a slight wave had already risen in his heart. However, his many years of calmness and rationality had taken the upper hand. His expression did not change at all, as if he would always be this calm.

He was like a hunter who lured his prey into an inescapable trap step by step.

Sorry to disappoint you, but I’m a hard man to win over.” Qi Shenbai revealed a rare smile.

“I see… In that case, I’ll work hard. No matter how stubborn you are, I’ll win your heart!” Xu Jiao jiao clenched her fists and cheered herself on.

“But how do 1 do that?” Xu Jiaojiao was a little vexed.

Qi Shenbai thought for a moment and asked, “How did you pursue Lu Zhuo back then?”

At the mention of Lu Zhuo, a hint of anger appeared on Xu Jiaojiao’s face. That scumbag, just hearing his name made her feel unlucky!

She had almost married this guy back then!

“I never pursued him!” Xu Jiaojiao said.

She was telling the truth. In the past, everyone around her had said that she was fated to marry Lu Zhuo. It was only a matter of time before they got married. Neither of them pursued the other.

Hearing Xu Jiaojiao’s answer, Qi Shenbai was taken aback. He raised his slender right hand and pinched Xu Jiaojiao’s chin. Their gazes met.

“Is that true?”

“Of course. I swear, I never—”

Qi Shenbai put his other hand to her lips, indicating for her to keep quiet.

“I believe you. You don’t have to swear on anything..”
