Chapter 310: Say What You Need to Say
"You didn't even ask me, how do you know if I'm willing?" After listening to Li Dong's confession, Zhu Ying asked back, holding back her laughter.
"Are you willing?" Zhu Ying's answer made Li Dong blurt out without thinking too much.
After asking, Li Dong immediately felt regretful. Given Zhu Ying's background, how could she possibly fall for someone like him? Wasn't it a bit self-humiliating to ask this?
Moreover, Zhu Ying's previous actions were exactly in line with her temperament as a young lady. Li Dong regretted even more at this moment that he should not have come to Zhu Ying to ask for clarification.
If Xiao Jin knew that the person I liked was Zhu Ying, maybe he would not have advised me like that at that time.
The more Li Dong thought about it, the more he felt he lost confidence in front of Zhu Ying. The other person and he were from completely different worlds. How could he dare to have such wishful thinking?
"That depends on your performance!" Zhu Ying responded shyly when she heard Li Dong ask that.
After saying that, Zhu Ying turned her gaze away from Li Dong and deliberately avoided looking at him.
After a while, Zhu Ying didn't hear Li Dong's response, so he shifted his gaze back to Li Dong, but found that the other party had a frown on his face, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"Did you hear what I just said?" Zhu Ying reached out and gently poked Li Dong's arm, asking in a low voice.
"Ah, what did you say just now?" Li Dong's thoughts had been disrupted by his own wild thoughts, and he didn't hear Zhu Ying's response at all.
"You, how come you don't take what I said to heart at all?" Li Dong's words made Zhu Ying angry, and she shouted at him.
"I'm sorry, I was thinking about something else and didn't hear clearly what you said. If you don't mind, could you please say it again?"
Seeing Zhu Ying was angry, Li Dong immediately apologized.
"Forget it if you didn't hear it clearly!" The atmosphere was ruined and Zhu Ying couldn't finish what he had just said.
"I really didn't mean to ignore you, I just..." Seeing that he had made Zhu Ying very angry, Li Dong defended himself again. At the end, he couldn't continue.
"Just what? Why don't you tell me quickly?" Zhu Ying couldn't stand Li Dong's dithering anymore. Seeing that he stopped talking halfway through his words, she asked hurriedly.
"Zhu Ying, there is a huge gap between our statuses. I don't think I'm worthy of you." Mustering up his courage, Li Dong spoke out all his thoughts.
Li Dong's words made Zhu Ying feel relieved immediately. Before, she thought that Li Dong was hesitating because he regretted it after saying that he liked her.
"My relationship and marriage have always been decided by me. My family won't interfere with me. As long as you really like me, the problem you just mentioned does not exist at all."
Zhu Ying cheered Li Dong up.
"Are you serious?" Li Dong asked in disbelief.
In his understanding, families like Zhu Ying's attach great importance to family background. Therefore, Li Dong expressed deep doubts about Zhu Ying's words.
"Of course, I..." In order to make Li Dong believe her, Zhu Ying almost blurted out that she had been married to someone else before.
Zhu Ying swallowed the words back and changed the topic, "You probably don't know yet, but my grandmother has agreed to Ling Feng and Xiao Jin being together."
"Tell me, if our family is really the kind of family that values family background, how could my grandmother agree to them being together? After all, Ling Feng is likely to be the future leader of the Mu family."
"Look, my family doesn't even interfere with Ling Feng's marriage, so how could they care about the marriage of someone like me who idles around all day?"
Not wanting to mention her own affairs, Zhu Ying could only use the affairs of Mu Lingfeng and Yun Jin to convince Li Dong.
"Does your family really agree with Xiaojin and Mu Lingfeng being together?" After hearing Zhu Ying's words, Li Dong was sincerely happy for Yunjin.
Although he has given up his love for Yun Jin, as a friend, Li Dong still wants to see her be happy and recognized by the Mu family. Then Xiao Jin and Mu Lingfeng should be able to love each other for the rest of their lives.
"You see, our family is not the old-fashioned type that adheres to traditional ideas. So, when we are together, you don't need to consider their opinions at all."
Zhu Ying nodded and responded. After a pause, she emphasized, "As long as you are truly kind to me, my family will be happy to accept you."
"Of course I will treat you well. In this life, I will only treat you well and will never have any second thoughts." As soon as Zhu Ying finished speaking, Li Dong immediately swore.
Li Dong, who had never had any love experience, had no idea what sweet words to say at this moment. He could only rely on instinct to express his most sincere thoughts.
"Since you're being sincere, I'll try it with you reluctantly." Zhu Ying said with a smile as she looked at Li Dong's blushing face due to excitement.
"Try it?" Li Dong was stunned at first, then he reacted and asked, "Are you agreeing to be my girlfriend?"
"What do you think?" Zhu Ying looked at Li Dong and asked with a smile.
"Xiaoying, can I call you that?" Zhu Ying's response gave Li Dong great encouragement, and he asked tentatively.
Zhu Ying nodded slightly and smiled without saying anything.
Seeing her nod, Li Dong was overjoyed and let out a low "Yeah".
After they walked for a while, Li Dong sent Zhu Ying to the parking lot. Before they parted, Li Dong whispered in Zhu Ying's ear: "I'll come to the bar to pick you up after get off work every night."
Zhu Ying nodded and acquiesced to Li Dong's request.
After the car started, Zhu Ying felt a little regretful. She had been so infatuated with him that she actually agreed to Li Dong's request. In this way, she would have to go to the bar every night.
With Luo Ting in charge of the bar, Zhu Ying felt very relieved. In the past, she would only go there on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays when the bar was busiest.
But it didn't seem bad to have him pick me up from get off work every night and go to the bar every night.
After they separated that night, Li Dong kept his word and went to the bar every night to wait for Zhu Ying to get off work, and then took a taxi to send her home.
After a week, Zhu Ying felt distressed as she saw Li Dong's dark circles getting worse, and finally told him the truth:
"I used to only go to bars on weekends. I didn't have to go during the weekdays when business was not busy."
"Why didn't you tell me before?" Li Dongfa asked.
"I didn't tell you because I wanted to have more opportunities to meet you." Zhu Ying's voice became smaller and smaller.
"If I don't pick you up at the bar, can't we meet every night?" Li Dong felt a little speechless at Zhu Ying's answer.
Li Dong's words made Zhu Ying suddenly enlightened. Before, she only thought about seeing Li Dong every day, and never thought that if Li Dong didn't go to the bar to pick her up, they could also date somewhere else.
"I'm so stupid!" Realizing this problem, Zhu Ying patted his head lightly and complained.
"It's already stupid enough. If you keep filming, it will become even more stupid. I don't want to marry a stupid wife."
Li Dong smiled and reached out to pull Zhu Ying's hand that was on top of her head, and joked.
"You are so good, Li Dong. You actually dare to say that I am stupid. Let me show you how I will deal with you." Zhu Ying said, stretching out his hand to scratch Li Dong.
In order to cooperate with Zhu Ying's actions, Li Dong pretended to be very scared and begged for mercy: "I was wrong, I won't dare to do it again."
After the two of them played around in Zhu Ying's office for a while, Li Dong took the opportunity to grab Zhu Ying's hand, and when their eyes met, their breathing began to speed up.
"Also, when did I ever agree to marry you?" Zhu Ying felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by Li Dong, so she turned her head away and asked softly.
This time, Zhu Ying did not wait for Li Dong's answer, but the other party responded to her with action.
Li Dong gently pinched Zhu Ying's chin with his hand and moved it slowly, so that Zhu Ying's gaze returned to him. The next second, Li Dong lowered his head and placed a gentle kiss on Zhu Ying's lips.
A kiss as light as a dragonfly touching the water made both of them tremble in their hearts.
Looking up at each other, they both saw deep love in each other's eyes.
Then, Li Dong lowered his head again, and this time the kiss lasted for a long time.
After the end, Li Dong looked at Zhu Ying and invited her, "Tomorrow is the weekend, I want to invite you to go to the movies together."
"Okay, you decide what you want to see, I'll listen to you." Zhu Ying nodded and agreed to Li Dong's suggestion.
Take advantage of tomorrow to say everything you need to say.
