Ji Hanchen was tall and imposing, with dark, deep eyes that seemed to be filled with ink, giving off a strong sense of pressure.

Xu Qingyun didn't know what Ji Hanchen meant. Her brows furrowed slightly, and her clear eyes were filled with confusion.

Why is Ji Hanchen looking at her like that? Is he angry?

Just as Xu Qingyun was filled with doubt, Ji Hanchen suddenly took out a silver tassel hairpin from his suit pocket.

It is entirely silver, with a pure white jade bead embedded between two golden camellias, and two tassels of different lengths. It is simple yet very beautiful.

Xu Qingyun felt a slight unease; Ji Hanchen wanted to give her a hairpin.

"This is a hairpin of the twelve flower goddesses, with the camellia of October as its symbol, representing the 'ideal lover'."

Ji Hanchen's voice was very pleasant, low and captivatingly magnetic, like he was whispering sweet nothings to the girl he liked.

As soon as he finished speaking, he pulled off Xu Qingyun's jade hairpin.

"Ji Hanchen." Xu Qingyun raised her voice slightly, subconsciously trying to stop him, but only managed to grasp his warm hand.

Ji Hanchen looked at her tenderly, "Yunyun, don't move, let me fix your hair."

He gently removed Xu Qingyun's hand, gathered her smooth hair, and then inserted a hairpin into it.

Next, Ji Hanchen knelt on one knee, slightly raising his handsome face to look at the little girl.

"Every month from now on, I will give you a hairpin. November's hairpin is a hibiscus flower, which symbolizes a happy and fulfilling love."

"I hope that next month we can reap the rewards of our love, just like its symbolism."

Xu Qingyun's face darkened with anger. "Ji Hanchen, what exactly do you mean? Do you know what giving a hairpin as a gift in ancient times signified?"

He talks about an ideal lover and a perfect love, which can easily lead to misunderstandings.

Ji Hanchen raised an eyebrow. "Yunyun, haven't I made myself clear enough? I'm confessing my love to you. The hairpin is a token of marriage. By giving you this hairpin, you are my wife."

Lu Chuan and his friends have said that girls like strong men, which is why young girls always hope to meet a domineering CEO.

Perhaps he was too reserved before, which is why Yunyun resisted.

Xu Qingyun, however, looked serious and asked him, "Have you always pursued girls like this?"

"I've only ever pursued you, that's why I'm so clumsy." Ji Hanchen said with a slight embarrassment.

Xu Qingyun gently tugged at the corner of her lips. Clumsy?

His methods are far from clumsy.

"Ji Hanchen, you weren't clumsy at all when you were flirting with that pretty female secretary."

Hearing her sarcasm, Ji Hanchen immediately frowned. "You mean Secretary Fang? When did I ever flirt with her?"

Xu Qingyun looked up again, a hint of disgust flashing in her eyes. "Ji Hanchen, my hearing is excellent. I clearly heard you say that I like you."

Ji Hanchen hurriedly explained, "No, I wasn't flirting with her, I was..."

He paused for a moment, then Ji Hanchen's brows relaxed, a smile spreading across his face. "So you thought I was confessing my feelings to Fang Qing, that's why you're angry?"

Xu Qingyun neither agreed nor disagreed.

Ji Hanchen's smile widened, and he let out a pleasant laugh, deep, husky, and magnetic, making one's heart race. "So, my Yunyun is jealous."

Xu Qingyun took a breath, suppressing her anger: "Ji Hanchen."

Ji Hanchen's expression turned serious, and he explained earnestly, "Yunyun, you've misunderstood me."

"I just don't understand Yunyun's heart. You hate my confession, which makes me feel frustrated and upset. I can't figure out what you're thinking, so I went to ask Fang Qing."

"I want to know, when a girl is disgusted by a man's confession, is it really because she dislikes that man?"

Xu Qingyun was momentarily at a loss for how to react.

After a moment, she took a small breath and changed the subject, saying, "Excuse me, I need to go to the restroom."

But Ji Hanchen knew that Xu Qingyun was running away, so he strode after her and trapped her between himself and the French windows.

"Yunyun, what's your answer?"

Ji Hanchen wanted a legitimate status and to be her boyfriend.

Xu Qingyun pushed against his chest with both hands, her pretty face slightly flushed. "Ji Hanchen, let me go first. I don't like this."

Just as Ji Hanchen was about to loosen his grip, Lu Chuan's words echoed in his mind.

"Just remember this: girls are all proud and aloof, and they like to say one thing but mean another. Just go for it."

Ji Hanchen leaned closer again, his thin lips almost touching hers, leaving only a paper-thin distance.

"Yunyun, will you be my girl?"

Ji Hanchen's hot breath was close at hand, their breaths mingling, and a captivating ambiguity rose around them.

Xu Qingyun never liked men getting close like that, nor did she like men's sweet talk, so Ji Lun pursued her for two whole years.

Ji Hanchen had been flirting with her from the very beginning, making seemingly unintentional physical advances and forcefully pushing her to break up with Ji Lun and be with him.

She initially resisted and even loathed it.

Later, Ji Hanchen said that he was only nice to her because of his grandfather's instructions, and Xu Qingyun's state of mind underwent a subtle change.

Now, his gentle yet earnest confession has left her at a loss for words.

Xu Qingyun's long eyelashes trembled slightly. Her delicate hand, placed on the man's chest, felt the burning heat on his body and the rapid, powerful heartbeat. Her fingers curled slightly, as if trying to escape the palpitations and allure.

"Ji Hanchen, let me go first." Xu Qingyun tried hard to remain calm, but her low and soft voice betrayed her.

"I won't let go." Ji Hanchen said domineeringly and shamelessly.

Xu Qingyun was a little annoyed, "Ji Hanchen, don't..."

Before she could finish speaking, her two pink lips were gently captured by Ji Hanchen's hot lips and tongue.

Xu Qingyun suddenly clenched her fists and punched Ji Hanchen's chest lightly.
