Chapter 609 - Confession (2)

“Well, I’d like to take care of you as well,” Jian Yiling replied honestly.

If it was only due to Master Zhai’s request, Jian Yiling would not necessarily agree to change her plans.

However, in her own heart, she had a strange feeling. It was as though she did not want to leave.

Therefore, she chose to follow her own heart.

Zhai Yunsheng stared at Jian Yiling for quite some time. He didn’t say a single word.

After a while, Zhai Yunsheng reached out with his hand and gently touched Jian Yiling’s cheeks.

“Yiling, I won’t let go,” Zhai Yunsheng said.

“Why won’t you let go?” Jian Yiling asked.

“Do you know?” Zhai Yunsheng started, “That I like you?”

Upon hearing these words, Jian Yiling stared at Zhai Yunsheng. She was attempting to interpret his words in another way.

“Like in a romantic way,” Zhai Yunsheng added. “I want to touch you, hug you, and hold onto you. Do you understand now?”

Was he clear enough with his words?

She wouldn’t misunderstand again, right?

Jian Yiling blankly stared at Zhai Yunsheng for two minutes.

Then, she got up and ran back into her room.

Zhai Yunsheng heard the door slam shut as Jian Yiling disappeared in front of his eyes.

Inside her room, Jian Yiling burrowed herself in blankets. She sent a message to Luo Xiuen:

[I want to ask you a question.]

[Oh my goodness! You actually have a question for me?]

Luo Xiuen was surprised by Jian Yiling’s message.

After interacting with Jian Yiling for three years, she was always the one asking Jian Yiling questions. Jian Yiling rarely asked her any questions.

[Mhmm.]

[Tell me quickly! What’s your question?]

Luo Xiuen was incredibly curious about Jian Yiling’s question.

What sort of question would be difficult for their Institution’s prodigy?

[What happens when a man likes a woman?]

[???]

Luo Xiuen replied to Jian Yiling’s question with three question marks.

However, Jian Yiling was still waiting for Luo Xiuen’s explanation.

After a moment, Luo Xiuen decided to call Jian Yiling.

Jian Yiling immediately accepted the call.

As soon as she answered, Luo Xiuen’s shocking roar could be heard from the phone:

“Who is it? Which bastard confessed to you? How dare he?”

“How do you know that he confessed to me?” Jian Yiling asked quietly.

“You don’t say! If someone else was confessed to, would you be asking me that question?”

Hmm... It seemed as though Luo Xiuen was right.

Luo Xiuen continued to snarl: “Darling, do you like that man?”

“Well, I don’t want him to die.”

Jian Yiling wanted to protect him. However, she did not really know how she felt about Zhai Yunsheng.

“Uh...”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Don’t want him to die? What kind of answer is that?

Suddenly, Luo Xiuen realized that her question might be too confusing for Jian Yiling.

Then, Luo Xiuen asked another question: “Is he good-looking?”

“Yeah, he is.”

“Does he have money?”

“Yeah, he does.”

“Does he like going out to play?”

“Yeah.”

“Scumbag!” Luo Xiuen concluded. “Yiling, don’t trust that man! Don’t trust any of his words!”

Luo Xiuen had gone completely off-topic.

Jian Yiling had asked her about a man liking a woman, however, Luo Xiuen had become fixated on whether the man was a scumbag.

“Then, what would he do?” Jian Yiling asked.

“Well, he will treat you well. He will say nice things to you, send you gifts such as jewelry and flowers and do nice things for you! However, he will then eventually abandon you!” Luo Xiuen analyzed for Jian Yiling.
