She thought to herself, "What on earth is going on?!"

Fu Qinian looked at her, his eyes filled with anticipation, but also revealing a hint of nervousness.

He said slowly, "You don't need to answer me right away, I'm willing to wait. I'm sorry, I may have been too hasty today."

Despite his words, the disappointment in his eyes was unmistakable, as if he had instantly lost his luster.

Huo Jinning felt a pang of sadness looking at Fu Qinian like this.

She seemed unwilling to see him so disappointed, so she quickly said, "I don't know what 'like' means, but I like eating, chatting, and playing with you."

When I heard you were getting engaged, I became unusually irritable and depressed.

Do you think this means you like it a little?

As soon as she spoke, her cheeks flushed red, and she lowered her head shyly, her hands fidgeting involuntarily.

Upon hearing Huo Jinning's answer, Fu Qinian was stunned by the overwhelming surprise and became ecstatic.

He excitedly hugged Huo Jinning tightly, then carefully placed her on his lap.

"Ah..." Huo Jinning was completely unprepared for Fu Qinian's actions, and she exclaimed in surprise.

Fu Qinian was overjoyed, so much so that he was almost incoherent, repeatedly saying, "That's great, Ningning, that's great..."

His voice was filled with excitement and happiness, as if the whole world had become a better place because of the news.

After a brief moment of shock, Huo Jinning gradually regained her composure.

She moved slightly, a little shyly, but found that Fu Qinian was holding her even tighter.

So she simply buried her head in Fu Qinian's arms to ease the awkwardness.
