Yunmian finished speaking.

Yun Xiaoqi held back her tears.

A glimmer of light appeared in his originally dim eyes again.

“I don’t want to regret it in the future.”

"Then muster up the courage and tell Third Uncle your determination. My grandmother and Grandma Rumeng both say that it's easy for a woman to win over a man. Sister Xiaoqi, you are so beautiful, so outstanding, and have such a good temper. I believe you can definitely win Third Uncle over."

Yun Xiaoqi was greatly encouraged.

After Chu Huaijing was sent back to his room by Chu Yu, he stared at the half-open door with a nervous mood.

He was afraid that Yun Xiaoqi would stay, but he was also afraid that Yun Xiaoqi would leave.

Bang bang bang!

After a moment, there was a knock on the door, followed by Yun Xiaoqi's usual gentle voice.

"Third Master, it's me."

The moment he heard Yun Xiaoqi's voice, Chu Huaijing felt happy.

"Xiaoqi, I'm already resting. If you have anything to say, we can talk tomorrow..."

"No."

Yun Xiaoqi followed Yun Mian's advice, interrupted Chu Huaijing forcefully, and pushed the door open.

"Third Master, I know you can't sleep."

After Yun Xiaoqi entered the room, she closed the door and quickly walked to the side of Mr. Chu Sanye.

Chu Huaijing was stunned by her actions.

Why has Xiaoqi become so brave?

"Third Master, I like you. After I came to your side and got to know you slowly, I fell in love with you. Over the years, my feelings for you have never changed."

Afraid that she would lose her courage later, Yun Xiaoqi simply said what was in her heart in one go.

"I'm afraid if I don't tell you what's in my heart, I will regret it in the future."

"Xiaoqi, why are you doing this?"

Hearing what he wanted, Chu Huaijing felt happy and sighed slightly.

"You are about the same age as Yu'er. At my age, I can be your uncle without any problems. Besides, I am still..."

Yun Xiaoqi squatted down and held Chu Huaijing's hands on his knees with both hands.

"Third Master, love has no age, region or status restrictions. I like you, very, very much. Third Master, do you like me?"

Yun Xiaoqi bit her lip and mustered up the courage to ask the last half of the sentence.

"I hope to hear the real answer. If you have me in your heart, I, Yun Xiaoqi, will follow you for the rest of my life. If you don't have me in your heart, then tomorrow morning, I will pack my bags and leave, and never appear in front of you again."

"What if I can't stand up anymore?"

When Chu Huaijing heard Yun Xiaoqi say that she would pack up and leave tomorrow, he suddenly became anxious and spoke in a hasty tone.

Yun Xiaoqi squeezed his hand tightly and replied emphatically, "If you can't stand up in the future, I'll be your crutch. If you can stand up, you can take me around the world."

"Xiaoqi."

Chu Huaijing's heart was deeply touched.

"You are such a silly girl."

He slowly raised his hand, and his slender, bony hand gently touched Yun Xiaoqi's cheek.

The moment his skin touched Yun Xiaoqi's, the emotions he had suppressed for many years suddenly burst out from his heart like a flood.

"Third, Third Master, what do you mean?"

After feeling the warmth of Chu Huaijing's fingertips, Yun Xiaoqi was stunned and ecstatic.

Chu Huaijing gently rubbed her cheek with the tip of his thumb.

"Girl, you still have a chance to escape from an old man like me. After tonight, if you want to escape again, there will be no chance. I will keep you tightly imprisoned by my side."

"Third Master, I won't run away. I will never run away. You can imprison me. I am willing to be imprisoned by your side for the rest of my life."

Yun Xiaoqi cried with joy.

She had finally managed to pry open this man's heart, so how could she possibly escape?

"Why are you still crying?"

Seeing her tears falling, Chu Huaijing felt so distressed that he gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with his fingers.

"Stop crying! If Yu'er and Mianmian see you, they'll think I'm bullying you."

"Then hug me, Third Master. Hug me, Third Master, and I'll stop crying."

Yun Xiaoqi sobbed and acted coquettishly towards Chu Huaijing.

She had longed to be in this man's arms.

Chu Huaijing looked at her, smiled dotingly, and opened his arms to hold her in his arms.

"Why do you still call me Third Master?"

Yun Xiaoqi pressed her face against his chest, and could clearly hear his heartbeat through his clothes.

The man's heartbeat was fast, and her heartbeat also quickened.

"Then, what should I call you?"

Chu Huaijing moved closer to her ear and whispered softly, "Call my name and listen. My name must sound beautiful when spoken from your mouth."

"Huai, Huai Jing."

Yun Xiaoqi was so nervous that she could hardly find her voice.

"Time, it's getting late, you should go back and rest."

Chu Huaijing's breathing became disordered. He was worried that he would not be able to control his emotions and do something to the girl in his arms. He hurriedly let go and urged the girl to leave.

"Third Master, why are you breathing so unsteady? Are you feeling unwell?"

Yun Xiaoqi was completely unaware of how charming she was and how tempting she was to the men around her. When she heard Chu Huaijing's breath was disordered, she spoke nervously.

Seeing how nervous she was, Chu Huaijing was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

This girl is really simple.

"I'm fine. You've been busy all day with Yu'er and Mianmian's engagement party today. Go back to your room and rest."

Yun Xiaoqi finally breathed a sigh of relief and stood up from in front of Chu Huaijing.
