Chapter 140 Love

After exercising, Sheng Ting went back to the bedroom to take a shower. When he came out, he saw someone sitting on the small sofa on the balcony watching the night view.

When I walked over, I saw Hatsushimo was in a daze.

The man touched her head and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Chu Shuang looked at Sheng Ting deeply, and after a while, she said, "You are my brother's friend."

Tone of statement.

Sheng Ting glanced at her, his expression slightly paused.

Chu Shuang smiled and said, "Sister Chaoyu's deceased lover is my brother, right?"

She lowered her eyes, shadows falling over her eyelids. "I should have guessed it earlier."

Sheng Ting stretched out his hand, pressed the person into his arms, and patted her back gently.

"I'm sorry I kept this from you for so long."

Chu Shuang shook her head, "Don't apologize, I know why you hid it from me."

She felt a slight lump in her throat, and tried to hold back her tears, but they still soaked his clothes.

"Thank you for being my brother's friend, and thank you for always taking care of me."

Sheng Ting's heart tightened, and he pulled her away to look at her.

"Logically, the marriage my grandmother arranged for me should be with Sheng Yang, who is about my age. As we are older than each other, I should call you uncle."

"I could sense that you had no feelings for me when we first got married." She pursed her lips slightly, and spoke softly, "Did you marry me just for my brother..."

Sheng Ting looked straight at her, his usually bright and gentle eyes now filled with a sparkling light, the corners of his eyes were slightly red, but he still looked at him calmly.

It seemed that as long as he answered in the affirmative, the calmness she had managed to maintain on her face would be completely shattered.

"Not for anyone else, just for myself."

He said slowly and calmly, "You guessed right. This marriage was originally between you and Sheng Yang, but I don't think it's appropriate."

Chu Shuang was stunned and asked in a low voice: "How do you know it's inappropriate..."

Sheng Ting glanced at her and raised his lips lightly, "It's not suitable at first glance."

"This marriage did start with more responsibilities. But I have always regarded you as my wife, without mixing anything else. Once I decided that you were my wife, it could only be you."

Hatsushimo seemed to understand, "What about now?"

"How do you feel about me now?"

Their eyes met and the air became somewhat silent.

Chu Shuang's heart beat faster, and her throat tightened slightly as she looked into his dark eyes.

Sheng Ting pursed his lips tightly, his eyes were deep and unfathomable, and he could see her anticipation and nervousness.

His Adam's apple rolled, and his voice was slightly lowered, "You don't know?"

"I... don't dare to guess."

Glancing at her beautiful eyes, Sheng Ting held the back of her head with his hand and slowly leaned forward——

The man placed a gentle kiss on her lips, his movements couldn't be gentler.

Pulling back slightly to look her in the eye, he spoke: "This is not something that can be achieved simply out of responsibility."

"I'm not that casual."

My cheeks started to feel warm and my heart was beating fast in my throat.

"Love, eh?" Sheng Ting pinched her earlobe. "Is that so?"

His breath was a little disturbing. Chu Shuang's eyes flickered slightly, "...Do you like me?"

"Don't like you so I can sleep in the same bed with you?"

Hearing this, Chu Shuang's heart softened incredibly and her heartbeat became so fast that she couldn't control it.

He admitted it himself.

She didn't dare speculate too much about his indulgence and pampering before, because she didn't want to have unnecessary expectations, afraid of being disappointed and resentful towards him.

Sheng Ting is the kind of person who gives you three points of goodness but makes you feel that he is six points. He is too rational and too self-sufficient. So Chu Shuang always accepts the goodness of him, does not make any demands on him, and does not waste herself.

She could sense that at first his consideration for her was mostly out of his role responsibility, but later on, as she got used to his kindness and gentleness, Chu Shuang could no longer see clearly.

Sometimes I have the illusion that he seems to like me very much, but I am afraid that I am exaggerating the details and being too sentimental.

She even felt that anyone who could be treated with tenderness, patience and consideration by Sheng Ting was already special, and believed that he would not fall in love with just anyone.

But now that he personally admitted that he liked her, Chu Shuang's heart settled down, and she felt relieved again, with the corners of her eyes and eyebrows curling up unconsciously.

A little shy, a little surprised, and a little...secretly complacent.

"When did you start liking me?"

“I don’t know.”

Noticing that he didn't talk much, Chu Shuang looked at him quietly and actually caught a glimpse of the subtle pink on his earlobe.

It was the first time Chu Shuang saw this expression on his face, and she felt extremely surprised.

Even at such a grand event, there were moments of shyness.

He was clearly serious and cold, but if it weren't for the color of my earlobe, I would have been fooled by him.

For the first time, Hatsushimo felt that this man also had a lovely side.

She nodded and asked teasingly, "Don't you know where the love comes from?"

"So what do you like about me?"

Seeing his dark eyes in deep thought, Chu Shuang said, "You don't know either?"

“I like them all.”

She couldn't hold back her smile and laughed happily.

Although strictly speaking this was not a qualified love talk, Hatsushuang found it very rare to hear it coming from his mouth.

Others might say this out of perfunctory response, but Sheng Ting said this because he truly thinks she is good in every aspect.

Chu Shuang's heart was almost full. She reached out and hugged the man's waist, inhaling his scent greedily.

"Fortunately, fortunately you like me, otherwise I would really feel guilty."

"Guilty about what?"

"I'm worried that you'll marry me to take care of me and delay your life."

Sheng Ting chuckled, his voice floating, "You think too highly of me."

"Everyone in the world thinks about themselves," he patted her back, "I have to marry a wife, right?"
