His aura was powerful and overwhelming, enveloping her completely.
As Shen Zhiyi thought of that passionate kiss, her fingertips clung to his collar, almost melting into his arms.
Her eyelashes trembled slightly as she closed her eyes.
Actually... we haven't met yet.
She couldn't bring herself to say goodbye to him.
Even if that was him in another time and space, a younger version of himself.
Bo Xu's fingertips reached back, threading through her hair, and his large hand gripped the back of her neck, preventing her from looking down to avoid it.
He lowered his eyes and gazed at her.
"A person you don't even dare to meet isn't worth wasting your time on."
Shen Zhiyi lifted her eyelids slightly, biting her lip, "It's not that I dare not see you, but... I cannot."
"He can't come to see me."
The soft, seemingly honest words that poured out of her mouth were like a hand with sharp thorns, gripping Bo Xu's heart tightly.
Bo Xu felt a sharp pain throughout his body and mind.
Even now, she's still making excuses for him...
He pursed his thin lips.
Suppressing the bitterness and intense anger and jealousy surging within him, his eyes darkened as he slowly swept across her face.
Her fair and delicate face held a simple and innocent expression.
I have a natural trust in him.
She seemed completely unaware of how hurtful her words had just been.
She was even more unaware that she shouldn't have revealed her true thoughts to an ambitious beast who had long coveted her.
Even if that beast is dressed in an honest and proper disguise.
A feeling of tenderness welled up in Bo Xu's heart, and his thumb involuntarily stroked her ear.
She's so young.
She doesn't know what the right choice is for her, nor does she know who is the right one for her.
It's normal for kids at that age to be easily tempted and playful.
We can't blame them.
We mustn't scare her away.
It must have been that 19-year-old scoundrel who used some underhanded tricks to seduce her.
Bo Xu's eyes suddenly darkened.
He composed himself and said in a low, gentle voice, "I don't blame you for your hesitation."
"I can give you time to think it over and make the right choice for yourself."
"But I must remind you, the only reason he can't come to see you is because he doesn't love you enough, or he's broke. Either way, it's fatal."
“What he doesn’t have, the future he can’t promise, or the certain and abundant life he can’t give you, I can give you.”
"With me, you don't have to worry about anything, you just need to be happy and be yourself."
"Shen Zhiyi, you are very smart."
"You should know that you should choose someone who can stand by your side honestly and openly, rather than a good-for-nothing who only knows how to make empty promises."
He leaned down and pressed his forehead against hers.
"Baby, give me a chance, I won't let you down, okay?"
Even if you really want to kiss her, you have to hold back now...
Bo Xu, she'll be yours sooner or later.
He closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
Shen Zhiyi's cheeks burned; she was almost intoxicated by what she heard.
Why...did he call the baby...?
Bo Xu sat up and touched her face.
His gaze lingered on her lips for a moment before he restrained himself and released her hand. "I'll take you home."
"Don't even think about quitting your job, and don't even think about running away from me."
"I won't pressure you. You just need to think it over carefully and then give me your answer."
He gently rubbed Shen Zhiyi's head.
Help her adjust her seatbelt.
Shen Zhiyi blushed the whole time, kept her head down, and let him do as he pleased.
The car started moving again.
When they arrived at Shen Zhiyi's building, she unbuckled her seatbelt. "Well... I'll be going now..."
She really needs time to think things through.
"Okay." Bo Xu watched her get out of the car.
Seeing her slender back, I couldn't help but unbuckle my seatbelt, open the door, get out of the car, and walk a few steps to her.
