Jiang Wu not only did not let go, but instead tightened his embrace.
He could clearly feel Veranica's rapid heartbeat and see her fair skin gradually blushing.
Jiang Wu was no longer the love novice he was two years ago; he knew very well that Veranica was now completely moved by him.
“I’m serious.” Jiang Wu looked directly into her eyes. “These past few encounters have made me realize that I like you more and more, and I want to be with you. The thing I’m most grateful for coming to Tianxuan City is that I met you, Nika. Will you be with me?”
Veronica placed her hand against Jiang Wu's chest, but couldn't muster any strength.
She had watched countless romantic movies and TV dramas, but never imagined that one day she would become the leading lady.
What I never expected was that a real hug would be even more dizzying than what I saw on the screen.
"You...you let go first..." Her voice grew softer and softer, even becoming somewhat faint.
Jiang Wu lowered his head slightly, his lips almost touching Veranika's forehead, and whispered, "Would you like to be with me? Or, how about we try dating?"
Listening to Jiang Wu's words, she could even feel his warm breath brushing against her forehead.
Veranika panicked even more.
She realized it was too close.
The distance between them was so close that Veranika was almost suffocating.
She was almost completely captivated by Jiang Wu's embrace.
“If you don’t object, I’ll take that as your agreement.” Jiang Wu didn’t give her any more time to consider.
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Wu leaned down and kissed Veranika's bright red lips.
Veronica was completely stunned, and her face turned bright red instantly.
She stared wide-eyed at Jiang Wu, who was standing right in front of her.
She could have easily thrown him away.
Veranika felt completely drained of strength.
So this is what a loving kiss is?
Veranika was captivated.
She slowly stopped resisting and instead wrapped her arms around Jiang Wu's waist.
The servants were stunned to see the two suddenly embracing in the manor, as were those secretly watching through binoculars in the distance.
Your Excellency the Archdeacon and the Grand Knight, are they together?
This is absolutely the most explosive news in Tianxuan City!
Ten minutes later.
Jiang Wu released Veranika, looked at her affectionately, and said softly, "How about we go for a walk? Let's treat it as our first date."
Veronica's face was flushed, her eyes were sweet, and she had a charming smile on her face as she looked up at Jiang Wu. "Mm."
With just one hug and one kiss, she felt completely intoxicated.
All I want is to be with him.
Jiang Wu smiled, took Vera's right hand, and their fingers intertwined.
He took her hand and led her outside.
The inner city of Tianxuan City is quite large, but there aren't many people.
On some quiet streets, Jiang Wu led Veranika on a stroll through the alleys.
At this moment, Veranica was no longer the high and mighty Vice-Bishop of the Chosen Church, but an ordinary girl holding hands with her lover.
She would glance at Jiang Wu every now and then, her eyes filled with sweetness.
Pedestrians and patrolling soldiers on the street stared at them in horror.
But they didn't even dare to whisper, for fear of disturbing the two's enjoyment.
One was an archdeacon, and the other was a high knight.
Apart from the bishops, in name only, they were second only to the emperor.
If you offend them, no one will say a word even if you are killed on the spot.
This is the cruelty of this post-apocalyptic world.
Jiang Wu looked at the amusement park in the distance and asked, "Want to go to the amusement park?"
Veranica nodded and said softly, "I want to go, and I want to go to the beach too."
At this point, Veronica looked at Jiang Wu and said softly, "Actually, as long as I'm with you, I'm fine with going anywhere."
Jiang Wu smiled slightly, and seeing that no one was around, he kissed her again.
This time, Veronica went even further, standing on tiptoe and wrapping her arms around Jiang Wu's neck with deep affection.
The amusement park in Chosen City is one of the few entertainment facilities rebuilt after the disaster. It is specifically designed for Westerners and is one of the few relatively crowded places in the inner city of Chosen City, besides bars and casinos.
When Jiang Wu led Veranika to the amusement park, it was like an incandescent light suddenly turning on in the dark night, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
"My God! It's the Archdeacon!"
"And that great knight!"
"They're holding hands?! Are they together?"
"What amazing news!"
"This is the first time I've seen the Archdeacon in such a girlish state."
The soldiers guarding the area rushed to Jiang Wu and Veranika, and said respectfully, "Your Excellency, High Knight, do you wish to use the facilities here?"
Jiang Wu glanced at the Western faces in the amusement park, a cold glint in his eyes.
He then looked at the bowing and scraping guards and said calmly, "Have everyone leave, including you, leaving only the person operating the equipment. For the next few hours, this place will belong only to Nika and me."
"Yes, Your Excellency the Great Knight!"
The guards dared not delay and immediately broadcast a message urging everyone to leave quickly.
In just ten minutes, the entire amusement park was completely cleared out.
Meanwhile, Jiang Wu had already taken Vera Nica onto the Ferris wheel.
......
The most mysterious meeting room at the headquarters of the Chosen Ones.
Bishop Adam and his closest confidants were discussing key matters.
A trusted guard hurriedly pushed open the door and whispered a few words in Adam's ear.
"What!" Adam jumped to his feet, a rare look of shock on his usually composed face. "Are you sure Veronica and Bai Wu are dating?!"
The guard said respectfully, "It's absolutely true, Your Excellency. Many people saw it! And they were holding hands, hugging, kissing, behaving very intimately. It's true!"
The meeting room was deathly silent.
Not only was Adam shocked by the news, but the other core executives were also shocked.
They both understood what their union meant.
In terms of strength, the Great Knight can kill the giant octopus single-handedly, while Veranika is a super strong person on par with the Chosen Church and the Bishop, and her strength is by no means weaker than Bishop Adam.
It is even faster.
Together, the two of them have become the strongest link in the Chosen Ones in terms of individual strength.
Even the bishop cannot match him.
Lauren, the head of the supplies department, was the first to break the silence, saying seriously, "Your Excellency, this is not good. The Vice-Bishop is not on our side to begin with, and now the Grand Knight is with her. If the two of them join forces, their strength will be terrifying."
“Not necessarily.” Intelligence chief Lucas stroked his chin. “The Vice-Bishop is, after all, a member of our country, while the Grand Knight is Chinese. Now that she’s with the Grand Knight, it’s actually a good opportunity. Through the Vice-Bishop, we can completely bring the Grand Knight into our camp.”
