For a moment, everything around them fell silent.
Seeing the bewilderment in the eyes of the woman in his arms, Qin Luo knew clearly that his abrupt change in attitude was undoubtedly a significant oversight.
However, given his current level of emotional maturity, dealing with a woman like Su Yaoyue, who is just beginning to experience love, is a piece of cake for him; he has strategies and methods readily available.
Qin Luo placed the primordial spirit liquid in his hand into the hand that Su Yaoyue had pressed against his chest. Then, with undeniable strength, he pressed her hand firmly against his heart and said affectionately:
"How can I prove it? I firmly believe that my heart will not deceive me; every beat of it is for you. If you still have doubts about me, you may simply open my chest and see if a heart that beats here is truly devoted to you!"
If it were the previous Su Yaoyue who heard such mushy words, she might have felt a little disgusted, but now that Qin Luo was holding her, the strong masculine scent left her no chance to think, and her mind went completely blank.
She felt as if her hand was being pressed against a blazing furnace, and the warmth emanating from her palm made her clearly feel the strong, powerful beating of his heart.
Each leap felt like a heavy hammer, precisely striking her already taut heartstrings, causing them to tremble and her thoughts to become chaotic.
At this moment, a trace of hesitation still lingered in Su Yaoyue's eyes, but in the brief blank moment of her mind, she was more deeply moved by this heartfelt confession.
A warm current quietly surged within her heart, gradually melting away her unease and worries.
She slightly raised her head, looking at Qin Luo who was so close to her. Her lips parted slightly, but she was speechless for a moment, unsure of how to respond.
Seeing this, Qin Luo was secretly pleased. To him, Su Yaoyue's silence at this moment was a tacit agreement, but the woman's reserve made it difficult for her to reveal her true feelings immediately.
At present, taking things step by step is probably the safest way to pursue Su Yaoyue. Only in this way can he gradually break down her defenses and let his love take deep root in the long run.
However, Qin Luo had no time to follow the plan step by step at this moment.
He was racing against time. After all, the chaotic scene on the other side was eagerly awaiting his arrival to quell the conflict.
Furthermore, with those three women constantly watching his every move, he didn't have many opportunities to strengthen the emotional bond between them.
Therefore, in this urgent situation, he had no choice but to take a risky approach and try to solidify his relationship with Su Yaoyue before making any further plans.
Nianzhi, Qin Luo looked at the silent Su Yaoyue in his arms, a hint of disappointment showing in his eyes. Then, the hand that had been tightly holding her soft hand loosened weakly, and he said somewhat dejectedly:
"Very well, I know that a man as promiscuous as me is not worthy of someone as affectionate and virtuous as you, Yaoyue. It was just wishful thinking on my part that I dared to hope to win your favor."
"Thinking back to our first encounter at the ruins, seeing you so disoriented, it would be a lie to say I wasn't moved. But I know all too well that someone with such a tarnished emotional history like myself, how could I dare hope you could accept my broken and scarred heart..."
"I apologize. I couldn't help myself and said so much without thinking. Just pretend that my abrupt words and actions never happened. I'll leave now and won't disturb your peace any longer."
After saying that, Qin Luo released his hand from her waist, and Su Yaoyue's mind was in turmoil.
She recalled the scene when they met at the ruins. At that time, Qin Luo had already planted a subtle seed in her heart, but it had always been buried deep within her.
Now, catalyzed by Qin Luo's words, this seed finally has the urge to sprout.
Despite the deep-seated question in her heart, she kept asking herself: Was she really going to watch him leave so resolutely? If she missed this opportunity, would it become a regret that would last the rest of her life?
But her body reacted instinctively the moment Qin Luo released his arms from her waist.
She suddenly reached out and wrapped her arms tightly around his neck, her eyes fixed on him, her voice trembling with emotion, and said resolutely:
"You, you bastard! From now on... if you ever betray me, I will hate you for the rest of my life!"
Qin Luo was overjoyed, but he still maintained a solemn expression and said in a low voice:
"Yaoyue, I, Qin Luo, swear here and now that in this life, if I ever betray you, may I be punished by heaven, no..."
Unfortunately, Su Yaoyue interrupted him before he could finish speaking, biting her lower lip and saying:
"I don't want to hear your sweet talk. I hope what you're saying is true. I've put all my eggs in one basket with you, so don't let me lose everything."
"I shouldn't have trusted you so easily, but I don't want to miss out on you. You must remember what you said today, otherwise, I will truly hate you for the rest of my life!"
Qin Luo didn't mind being interrupted; her heart was already on his side, and that was the greatest victory.
Since she wasn't willing to listen to sweet words, he could only express his sincerity through actions.
Then Qin Luo casually placed his hand on her waist again, pulling her closer, and said in a somewhat ambiguous tone:
"Don't worry, Yaoyue, everything I said today is from the bottom of my heart. But do you know what it means when a woman takes the initiative to put her arms around a man's neck?"
Upon hearing this, Su Yaoyue's beautiful eyes instantly showed a look of bewildered confusion.
However, in just a moment, she knew the answer. Her eyes widened suddenly, and her hands, which had been gently wrapped around Qin Luo's neck, tightened unconsciously, as if she were embarrassed and annoyed, or as if she were nervous.
But then, her long eyelashes fluttered a few times, and her eyes slowly closed again...
In the stillness of the night, the moonlight, like water, poured down, enveloping the two embracing figures in a silvery glow.
The figures of Qin Luo and Su Yaoyue in the cool moonlight were originally a tender and affectionate scene.
However, a moment later, this tranquil atmosphere was abruptly broken.
Su Yaoyue suddenly exerted force with both hands and pushed Qin Luo away from her.
Her eyes were filled with shame and anger, and her originally fair cheeks were now so red that they looked as if they were about to bleed.
She parted her lips slightly, hesitated, and finally lowered her voice, spitting out a few curses at Qin Luo with a hint of embarrassment and annoyance.
Before she could finish speaking, she lifted her skirt, turned around, and ran away quickly into the distance. Her disheveled figure seemed to forget for a moment that she could fly.
Watching Su Yaoyue's departing figure, Qin Luo clicked his tongue, then murmured softly:
"This girl, in terms of advantages, is indeed much greater than Li Yue and Bing Li..."
