Chapter 353 - Marry me!! (1/2)

Guang never expected to hear something like this. There was disappointment, grief and rage filled in Ning Xui Ying's eyes. Grief and disappointment for not able to catch the right time. And rage and fierceness directed to two people who have taken her life as a tool to play with.

The doubts she had before were all cleared. She has got the genuine answers she was looking for in the man's eyes. Now she just wanted a last confirmation seal on it. She asked with her voice filled with confidence. Her eyes were fixed at the person in front of him.

”Do you love me?”

Everyone was taken aback in the room. Though Lifen and Daiyu have known that Ning Xui Ying has feelings for Guang. But they never knew the story behind those feelings. Deming was just present there to enjoy the treatment the senior was going to get. He wasn't interested in the love story that was blooming in the air, nor did he care.

The only love story he cared about was the love story in his own life. And also the only woman for whom he cared was also Lifen. He has no time or energy to waste on someone else.

The other person who was shocked at that moment was Su Yan. He was just staring at the woman who has sidelined him like he never existed in the midst of them. The hope in the relationship he was trying hard to hold was slipping like sand out of hand. The more he looked at the woman's determined eyes looking at the man the more speedily it slipped off.

Ning Xui Ying has long thought of the moment when he would be confessing his feelings to her but never thought in his rarest dream that one day he would be facing such a straightforward question. A question that will send shiver down his spines.

At this moment he found his heart drumming fast against his chest not caring about the people listening around. His ears have become deaf to every sound around him. His vision is blurred, the only person that was visible to him was the woman who had asked him such a difficult question.

The question wasn't difficult, nor was the answer. His brain has asked him this question so many times in the last two years and his heart has answered this question million times to make every inch of soul remember it. So this wasn't difficult.

It was the situation and the person who was making this simple question so difficult. Looking at the woman whose eyes were still darting on his face waiting for an answer. Her eyes were compelling him to be fast with the answer she was looking for. It was clear from her eyes that she was being impatient.

Seeing her impatient like that, he subconsciously nodded his head accepting the love, he has for her in his heart. No special words were said. No preparations were made. It was not like the way they show in the movies nor the way he has thought it in his dreams.

Just a straightforward question was asked whose response was given in just a single plain nod.

”So was that your plan to get me? Getting along with my father to force me to marry you”, she asked him in another straightforward statement. But Ning Xui Ying can see, there was no fierceness or any doubts in her eyes. It was just a plain question. She was not intending to know anything from this. Like she has already guessed the answer for this question.

Without any hesitation, the man shook his head in denial. This was definitely a plan. But it was not made along with her father as an ally rather it was against her father. It was for protecting her from the people who were using her as the tool.

”No it wasn't a plan to ruin you. Instead it was to protect you. After I backed out wishing you the happiness, I did not intend to bother you until I heard your father saying in the circle that he will marry you off with any investor who will invest in his business. So I stepped in to protect you”

”Protect me by ruining my dreams and the way of free life I wanted to live”. This time her words made him worry.
