Chapter 152: Status

When he woke up the next morning, Yu Nian closed his eyes sleepily, thinking about how to tell his parents about this.

Last night, after she confessed her love, she wanted to say something else, but Ji Yanxing interrupted her and pulled her into the car. He held her on his lap and they sat face to face.

The coldness on her body and the frosty coldness on his body, which was caused by the dust and exhaustion, were wrapped in the heater in the car, and their bodies gradually warmed up.

Ji Yanxing threaded his long fingers through her hair and looked down at her, "Why did you want to spend the New Year with me?"

He could see that, at least when they were in City A, she had not yet decided whether or not to be with him and give him a proper status.

Frankly speaking, Ji Yanxing was surprised by her confession tonight. After a few seconds of silence, he frowned and asked, "Is mom talking about you again?"

Yu Nian looked up at him, curved his eyes, and asked with a smile: "What if it is?"

Ji Yanxing frowned even deeper. He hoped that she would accept him, not because of any other factors, but simply because she loved him.

Just now, she confessed to him in person. Looking at her fair and gentle face, Ji Yanxing lowered his head, rested his chin on her shoulder, buried it in her shoulder, and sniffed the fragrance of her hair deeply for a few times. Then he spoke in a hoarse voice: "If you haven't made up your mind, just treat tonight as a dream I had. I won't force you to give me a name now, but I have a condition-"

Yu Nian looked at him with some amusement: "Hmm?"

Ji Yanxing snorted and looked into her eyes, "Next year at the latest, you have to take me home to celebrate the New Year together."

"I wanted to take you home this year," Yu Nian teased him deliberately, "Since you asked me to do so, let's do it next year."

"..." Ji Yanxing narrowed his eyes and looked at her indifferently.

Yu Nian became more and more excited as he spoke. "I read on the Internet that the ambiguous period is the most enjoyable state in a relationship. If you want to withdraw, you can leave at any time. You don't need to bear any responsibilities, and you don't have to give me half of your property."

Ji Yanxing's eyebrows darkened: "You want to withdraw at any time and don't want to be responsible for me."

“…”

Ji Yanxing gently pinched her fingers and whispered, "I don't want freedom, I want an unbreakable bond."

His tone was very calm, and he was just stating something calmly, but Yu Nian was stunned for several seconds, and the fingers that were pinched in his palm couldn't help but curl up.

He wanted to have a deep bond with her so that she would never leave him again.

Like a prodigal son who has been wandering for a long time, he is used to the freedom and loneliness of being alone and wants constraints and responsibilities.

Yu Nian kissed his chin, looked up at him, and said in a rather arrogant tone, "You want me to tie you up?"

Ji Yanxing looked at her sparkling eyes and curled his thin lips, "Well, do you want to tie it?"

Yu Nian pretended to think, "Hmm...If I don't agree, I'll look like a scumbag. Since that's what you want, then I'll agree to tie you up."

“…”

Ji Yanxing looked at her arrogant appearance, just like an arrogant Persian cat, and his heart softened as cotton. He kissed her, "You just said that you love me and promised to tie me up. You are not allowed to regret it, otherwise I will ask my mother to help me make the decision."

“…”

Yu Nian didn't know where this familiarity came from.

When they met for the first time after getting married, he called Yu Congye and He Manlian "parents" without any embarrassment.

He didn't change his words even after the divorce and kept shouting like that.

Now he wants her mother to stand on his side.

She was indeed a little impulsive tonight, but Yu Nian did not regret or reject it. After becoming an adult, she thought more with her brain than with her heart. Maybe she was not a good girl who followed the rules at heart. She liked the occasional impulse and madness, and she also liked Ji Yanxing who could stir up the calm lake in her heart.

The two sat in the car, looking out the window quietly. Under the dim light of the street lamps, it was as peaceful as a scene in a Korean drama.

"Why are you downstairs of my house?" Yu Nian looked at Ji Yanxing who had his head buried in her neck and asked her question.

How could it be such a coincidence, and shouldn’t he be in City A?

Ji Yanxing nibbled her neck gently, and did not stop even after hearing that. He said calmly, "I came to City B for business, and I'll come to see you after I'm done."

Yu Nian: "...On New Year's Day, who would want to discuss business with you?"

Ji Yanxing: “…”

"Master Ji, your excuse is not very clever...hiss..."

Yu Nian was teasing him, but he suddenly bit her hard, causing her to hiss softly in pain.

Ji Yanxing looked at the teeth marks on her neck with satisfaction and snorted coldly: "I'll bite you to death."

“…”

Yu Nian shrugged her shoulders and pushed his face away, "Are you a puppy?"

"If you like, I'll scream for you." He indulged her without any bottom line.

Yu Nian: "..."

She changed the subject: "When did you come to South City?"

"I came here after lunch."

"Why did you come?" she asked again in a low voice.

Ji Yanxing stroked her long hair, looked at the snow falling outside the car window, and whispered, "I wanted to stay at home and wait for you to come back, but my home was too lonely, so I drove to City B, right at the Bay Bridge, so I'm closer to you in terms of space."

Bay Bridge is their home in City B.

"When I arrived in City B, I was watching the cartoons you found for me last time. I felt a bit bored staying at home, so I drove out for a walk and came to visit you by the way." He stated in a calm voice.

The snow scene late at night has a unique sense of coldness and loneliness.

Yu Nian's heart suddenly shrank. She raised her eyes and met those dark eyes. The bottom of those eyes were filled with darkness and thick emotions that she could not understand.

Behind him was a sky full of flying snow.

After he finished speaking, the car fell into silence.

Yu Nian's eyelashes moved, and she suddenly hugged his neck and pecked him on the lips, again and again.

"It's not because my mother is nagging me. I called you, came to see you, and confessed to you, all because I love you."

-

Yu Nian wanted to take him home last night, but Ji Yanxing said that it would be informal and her parents would feel that he had kidnapped their daughter, so he would come to visit Yu's house tomorrow morning.

After being reminded by him, Yu Nian was really a little confused about how to talk about this matter.

Her parents wouldn't object.

From what He Manlian said yesterday, it seemed like she was urging them to be together.

As for Yu Congye, He Manlian was responsible for taking care of her love life, but Yu Nian could see that Yu Congye also hoped that she could reconcile with Ji Yanxing.

Yu Nian turned over in bed and reached for her cell phone to check the time. It was almost ten o'clock. She rolled over and sat up, then got out of bed to wash up.

Just as I finished packing, someone suddenly knocked on the door. Yu Xiang shouted from outside: "Sister, are you awake?"

"Wake up, wait a minute." Yu Nian wiped the water off his hands and opened the door for her.

As soon as the door opened, Yu Xiang and Yu Yi were both standing outside. Before Yu Xiang could speak, Yu Yi smiled and said, "Sister, my brother-in-law is here, he's downstairs!"
