Chapter 1307



Although she was unwilling, Gu Jinxiu couldn’t help it, so she lowered her head, picked up his scarf, and said, “I’m going, take care.”

She turned around and left. Even at this time, her posture was as elegant as a landscape. However, as soon as she walked to the door, she saw Xia Yingluo. Gu Jinxiu froze slightly, and in an instant, anger rose in her heart. Had this woman been hiding by the door and eavesdropping? Had she seen her embarrass herself?

“Ms. Xia, what are you sneaking around for?” Her voice was a little cold.

Xia Yingluo smiled sweetly and shook the snacks in her hand happily. “How is it sneaky when I’ve come to bring snacks to my boyfriend? I think it’s you who’s behaving sneakily, Ms. Gu. You’re only suspicious of everyone because you’re guilty. You don’t even know how to avoid suspicion as a single woman, why did you run to someone else’s boyfriend to give him a scarf?”

She indeed heard it.

Shame and anger spread in Gu Jinxiu’s heart.

But she was really worthy of being a lady. Gu Jinxiu quickly controlled her emotions, smiled slightly, and lowered her voice to say, “You’re here, no wonder Lingnan was acting like that.”

Having said that, she looked meaningfully at Xia Yingluo and then passed by her.

Xia Yingluo frowned. This woman was fleeing from defeat and still had to make her feel uncomfortable. Was she implying that Wei Lingnan only rejected her to show it to his authentic girlfriend? Xia Yingluo snorted. She was trying to drive a wedge between them so clumsily, Xia Yingluo wouldn’t fall for it.

She walked slowly into the office.

Wei Lingnan waved his hand gently and the door behind her closed silently. Several clean and bright glass windows opened, and a clear wind blew in.

Her hair drifted slightly in the wind and she asked him, “What are you doing?”

“I guessed that you wouldn’t like her smell.” Wei Lingnan smiled. “I’m making it breathable.”

Xia Yingluo was speechless. What he said seemed to be the case, so she didn’t dispute, and put the contents in her hand directly on his desk. “Not bad, let me award you.” She raised her delicate chin a little proudly and said to Wei Lingnan.

Wei Lingnan’s five senses were sharper than ordinary human beings. At this time, he could smell what was inside the gorgeous box. “You made these desserts yourself?”

“I promised you last time.” Xia Yingluo motioned him to open the box and looked at him with some expectation. “Taste it, is it good?”

He opened the book, and inside it was a cloud-like white and beautiful cream cake, sprinkled with crushed nuts and icing. The aroma diffused in the air.

Wei Lingnan looked down at it. “I like it.”

This was the first time she had made something for him to eat. When she was at Skatana, they were so hungry that they ate raw meat. Who would have a need for good food? Looking at the little beautiful cake, he couldn’t help thinking that maybe it would be nice to live on Earth.

He took a bite, and the aroma and sweetness spread between his lips and teeth, flowing all the way to the bottom of his heart.

In the beginning, Xia Yingluo was nervous, but after seeing his relaxed expression, she also relaxed and laughed. “I knew you would like it.” She was very confident in her cooking skills, especially in her father’s dessert. All who ate it were full of praises.

“I wanted to make a cherry cake for you,” she complained slightly. “It’s all my second brother’s fault, all the cherries were stolen by him.”

Wei Lingnan looked at her. The girl in front of him was beautiful, vivid and charming, just like the whole world was shining in front of her.

He said, “Then you will make it for me every day.”

“Every day? Dream on.” Xia Yingluo joked. “Do you really think I’m your cook? Do you know how much my craftsmanship would cost in the outside world?”

“How much is it, I’ll pay for it.” There were slight waves in his deep, ice-cold eyes. “Yingluo, marry me.”

She had a delicate smile on her radiant face, but after hearing the sudden marriage proposal, her smile froze. Suspicious of her hearing, she looked up at him in shock, unable to say a word. Why was he proposing now? So fast? Not long ago she was still hesitating to be his girlfriend! They didn’t know much about each other and hadn’t experienced the rough seas like her mom and dad had, like going to the amusement park together, playing hand in hand at the beach, and whispering in the snowy night...

This proposal came too suddenly and felt too untrue.

“Marry me,” Wei Lingnan said again.

He stepped forward and took two steps in her direction. The top predator in the universe was elegant, but his slightly dangerous steps made her step back instinctively. This time, she finally found her voice. “Why, why?”

“I want you,” he said.

Not like, not love, not any other word, but, want.

It was the eagerness of his pursuit of billions of years, an unforgettable branding, and desperation to obtain it... to obtain everything.

I want you.

She was frightened and took two steps back.

“But, but, don’t you think it’s too fast?” Her face felt hot and her heart beat was fast. “I, I’m not an adult yet, I’ll only be 18 next year, and I, I have no way to marry you.”

“Human laws are nothing to me.”

“But you proposed!” She stared at him with wide eyes. “If you want to live with me on this planet, you must obey human laws!”

God, what was she talking about...

She didn’t mean it, she meant...

Yes...

She hadn’t even thought about marrying him!

“Then, let’s get engaged first.” He smiled. “Yingluo, be my rightful fiancee. Tell everyone that you are mine.”

She didn’t know how to answer him. Engagement was not restricted by legal age. In fact, there were precedents for engagement from a young age. But this wasn’t even the problem? “Let me think about it...” She stepped back, and then stepped back again. Her delicate little face became hotter and redder, her body touched the wooden door, and she pushed the door in a panic to escape.

Wei Lingnan looked at her escaping back, and his eyes darkened slightly, but there was no movement.

It was sudden, he knew, and maybe he should give her time to consider it.

He said this to himself, but he still couldn’t help feeling a faint loss. He deeply loved the girl who he had resurrected at all costs for so many years, but she still didn’t love him as much as he did in the past... maybe, those people of the past were right. He was a humble guardian, how was he compatible with the high queen?

In the office, the cake she made herself was sweet and tempting, but he suddenly lost all appetite.
