Chapter 368 Thank you
and.
My heart is beating really fast.
Although things gradually calmed down.
Huh? ...So fast!
Bai Lu was admiring Xiao Cheng's strong self-control when her hand, which was covering his chest, was suddenly grasped.
She looked up and met his serious eyes.
There was no trace of dark red or lust in Xiao Cheng's eyes, only a captivating tenderness and an unprecedented clarity as he met Bai Lu's clear and pure gaze.
He cherished it all, and his deep eyes revealed his promise: "Only a title can match my innocence."
Bai Lu was slightly taken aback, and her slightly reddened eyes instantly turned red when touched by sincerity.
He may not know...
His words are more precious than mountains of gold and silver, and more reassuring than vows of eternal love.
More than a thousand words, this allowed her to feel his unreserved sincerity, care, and respect.
Perhaps worried that she didn't understand enough, Xiao Cheng spoke again, his tone as serious as ever—
"If I take off your clothes, I will dress you in a wedding gown. Only a phoenix coronet and embroidered robe are worthy of your pure and innocent beauty."
His girl deserves the best in the world.
His wife should be a lawfully wedded wife.
A woman's reputation is of utmost importance; how can she suffer the injustice of gossip and slander because of the desires of others?
Regardless of what others thought, Xiao Cheng only knew that his wife was not wronged in any way.
Perhaps the greatest benefit that psychology has brought to Bai Lu is that, at this very moment, she can clearly see through the deep affection and love in Xiao Cheng's eyes.
My mother said that you can tell whether someone likes you or not just by looking into their eyes.
Whether you love someone or not, the answer lies in everyday life.
Love is not about one-sided taking or giving; it's about mutual understanding, consideration, and tolerance.
Love is equality and respect.
If a man truly loves you, you will be all he sees and thinks about. Before doing anything, he will always consider you first, not himself.
They will love everything about you, accepting and unconsciously remembering all your preferences, even if they don't like them themselves. They won't ignore or erase your preferences.
They will find a way to balance things out, coexist with your preferences, and stay together until the end of their lives.
He will respect your wishes and will not force you to do anything, even if it is in his best interest.
If a man wants to trick you into sleeping with him, he will use every trick in the book: sweet talk, playing hard to get, gentle traps, and feigned retreat... You can't escape.
If a man cherishes you, even if you take the initiative and stand naked in front of him, he will first consider whether this will affect you and whether it is appropriate to do it now.
He won't do anything to you if it has even the slightest impact or negative effect, even if it's very difficult for him to endure it.
Unfortunately, in this fast-paced, materialistic era, people mostly pursue physical stimulation.
Forget about the resonance of souls; that's more important.
Lulu, Mom is really worried that you won't find a good partner in the future...
Bai Lu thought, she had found it.
She has truly found someone with whom she can understand and respect each other, grow old together, and spend the rest of her life.
That person was right in front of her.
It's Xiao Cheng.
Bai Lu hugged him tightly, letting her heartbeat intertwine with his, giving him her whole heart.
"Xiao Cheng... thank you..."
Xiao Cheng rested his chin on the top of the girl's head and gently stroked her back with his large hand: "I should be the one to say that."
"Thank you for coming into my world."
Bai Lu found Xiao Cheng incredibly charming and eloquent tonight; all the sweet nothings from past and present lives were poured into this one.
If she listened any longer, she couldn't help but drag him out of bed and go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get their marriage certificate!
However, her age here... means she's still a ways off from being able to get the marriage certificate, which is quite troublesome!
"Wait, I suddenly remembered that there's something very important I haven't mentioned yet."
Bai Lu poked her head out from Xiao Cheng's arms, moved up to him, and stared at his puzzled eyes.
She declared confidently, "I confessed my feelings to you last time, but you still haven't responded!"
Looking at the girl in his arms, who wouldn't give up until she got a response, Xiao Cheng felt a little like pressing her back down.
Is this the time to discuss this?
"I already said that."
Bai Lu refused to change the subject: "What happened just now was a decision about a major life event, a responsibility for a lifelong commitment, not a confession. What I said to you last time was the confession, and you haven't responded to me yet."
Xiao Cheng cleared his throat, turned his gaze to the bedside, and patted her back: "Go to sleep."
Bai Lu knew he wouldn't say it. The big boss was aloof, indifferent, and taciturn; he couldn't say such cheesy things. The words he just said were already incredibly cheesy.
But she insisted on listening, even though the child had already said it!
We can't let the big shots get away!
"I won't sleep unless you respond; I'll just stay up all night."
Bai Lu used her fingers to lift her upper and lower eyelids, making her eyes appear larger.
He stared straight at Xiao Cheng.
He hid, she chased, he couldn't escape.
He wanted to lie flat, but she held him tightly around the waist.
"Answer me now!"
Xiao Cheng met Bai Lu's intense gaze, his eyes narrowing slightly, his thin lips pursed: "Answer what?"
Do you like me?
For the first time in her life, Bailu asked a pointless question that she already knew the answer to.
Okay, she's just very inquisitive. Once she's decided she likes someone, she has to say it!
Feelings and verbal answers are two different things!
Xiao Cheng finally sensed her seriousness and stubbornness, and replied, "Yes."
Bai Lu: "..."
Bangbang swung his hammer: "Hmm, what do you mean?"
Xiao Cheng glanced at her, pulled the cord to turn off the light, and pulled her into bed: "You know what I mean."
"I don't understand."
Bai Lu wanted to get up and turn on the light, but he held her tightly around the waist, preventing her from moving: "I won't sleep even if you turn off the light."
Xiao Cheng: "..."
A soft little hand reached out, touched his face, pinched his face, and pulled and tugged at it.
They've absolutely audacious!
"If you don't go to sleep now, you won't be able to get out of bed tomorrow."
Bai Lu: "..."
A wise person knows when to yield; he should withdraw his hand first.
"Everything is negotiable: Ah Cheng, I have some really great news to share with you."
Xiao Cheng: "Speak."
Bai Lu: "Answer me first."
Xiao Cheng: "Answer what?"
Bai Lu: "Do you like me?"
Xiao Cheng: "Hmm."
To maintain her image and elegance, Bai Lu didn't kick him off the bed, but instead whispered something in his ear.
"Let's make a deal about what we didn't finish tonight..."
As the last word was uttered, the lights in the pitch-black room instantly came on.
The light shone on the man who had just stood up, amplifying the barely suppressed pleasure on his face.
She clearly saw the joy in his deep, dark eyes, the layers of surprise pouring outwards, weaving a vast net to scoop Bailu up from the bed.
"You said..."
"Of course it's true." Bai Lu smiled as she looked at the big boss's overjoyed face.
"but……"
His surprise faltered, and his voice tightened slightly: "What?"
Bai Lu sighed, conflicted: "You haven't answered me yet. Only if you answer will the agreement be valid."
