Chapter 682: 427 Hardcore Confession: I'm pursuing you, do you like me? (3 more updates) 2

Shen Shuci’s heart pounded fiercely as she looked at him, the heat from the receding flush on his face suddenly

becoming scorching once again.

"Earlier when | said | wanted to be your boyfriend, you didn’t seem to take it seriously."

"I don’t intend to just be ordinary friends with you, what we have is not what you call..."

"Merely colleagues."

Huo Qingi couldn't understand why, even if they didn’t have any other relationship, friends seeing each other

shouldnt be a problem, so why did it keep being forced into a colleague title.

"That recently..." There had been so much happening, and Huo Qingi could be too direct.

He had cover that night and, after a forceful kiss, had just run off, he seemed like a jerk, and also...

Was he pursuing her?

Honestly, she couldn't tell at all!

"I never joke," Huo Qingi said earnestly, "If you are willing, we can end this so-called abnormal relationship

anytime."

"You've met my parents, and they like you. If you think it’s possible, | can meet your parents and we can settle

things between us."

"But about getting married and getting the certificate, it might need stbecause | need to report the

marriage to my team, and it might take stto get the instructions approved. You would need to wait for

me."

"If you are willing, getting the certificate, meeting the parents, we can arrange it as soon as possible."

Decisiveness in speech naturally meant he wouldn't drag his feet in actions, being prompt and forceful, not

giving Shen Shuci any tto catch her breath.

"No, wait!" Shen Shuci felt like she was being dragged into a ditch by him.

She had ctoday to disrupt and clarify their relationship, but how did it turn to meeting parents and filing

marriage reports? Things were progressing beyond her expectations.

"Maybe | was a bit too eager before and gave you the wrong idea, but I truly am pursuing you with marriage in

mind."

"You..." Shen Shuci had a severe headache, when exactly had he been pursuing her!

He was always cold-faced, standing at her doorstep like a debt collector, and when they shared a car, their

interaction was minimal; there was no hint of him pursuing anyone.

Comparing it with the most recent example - Jiang Jinsang pursuing Tang Wan, even though the pair involved

might be blind to it, outsiders could definitely tell Jiang Jinsang was interested. But what about him?

Only a ghost could tell he was interested in her.

Mainly because Shen Shuci and people like Jiang Jinsang were different; they knew Huo Qingi too well. If they

knew what he had done for Shen Shuci, they would be utterly shocked.

But to Shen Shuci, he was just a completely unfamiliar man; without a comparison, naturally she could not know,

to what extent he was special to her...

"Or is it that you like someone else, so you not only can’t acceptbut also cannot accept my pursuit?" Huo

Qingi was also very direct.

"I..." Everyone supposedly knew each other well; Shen Shuci’s story was well known to Huo Qingi, and it wasn’t

good to lie, "I don't."

"You're single, and so am I. | want to pursue you now, is that okay?"

Even when he seemed to speak tenderly, there seemed to be a force of decisiveness.

Yet, these words made Shen Shuci powerless to respond; what could she say, not to let him pursue her?

She stood there, unsure of what to say.

But then, Huo Qingi suddenly moved closer to her, leaning in, his face almost touching hers.

His scent overwhelmed her, and when she looked up into those eyes, they seemed icy yet fervent, deep and

intense as if hiding sforce and desire she could not withstand.

"Why don’t you speak? | want to pursue you, is that okay?"

Shen Shuci stared at him, her mind blank.

"You probably don’t dislike me, so what do you feel towards me? Do you like me?"

Her ears were filled with the pounding of her heart, his voice sounding both near yet distantly unreal, her palms

sweaty, honestly...

Huo Qingi knew he was straightforward and direct, but he hadn’t expected him to be so simple and crude!

Huo Qingi thought to himself:

According to Jiang Chengsi, if she disliked him, she would have shown a particular aversion to his touch, and she

would not have ridden the shorse with him just now.

Under his intense gaze, Shen Shuci’s lips trembled slightly as they turned to one side. Huo Qingi leaned in

slightly, almost touching her ear, his voice deep...

It slid to the most intimate and ambiguous place.

"Do you likeor not?"

Shen Shuci could feel her heart trembling. His offensive was too intense; she really couldn’t cope. If asked

whether she had feelings for him...

She wasn’t dead. With opposite-sex contact, how could there be no feelings? If asked so directly whether she

liked him, her heart was chaotic, her mind buzzing. She had cto clarify their relationship, but she had gotten

herself entangled.

She was a very sensitive person. It was not until she arrived at the Shen Family that she experienced the love of

family members. She only learned to care about others by imitation.

As for love, she had never expected it, did not understand it, had never touched upon it, and even less knew

how to handle these tangled thoughts.

Huo Qingi saw she didn’t know how to deal and didn’t rush her to make any decisions. He squinted slightly, tilted

his head, and pecked her cheek very lightly, very softly...

His lips, warm and moist, touched her face briefly and then parted.

He didn’t seem in a hurry. Having ignited a fire in the depths of her heart, he let it spread wildly, burning her

clean. Everything seemed to be under his control, very patient.

"It’s about tto go eat," Huo Qingi said softly...

But Shen Shuci couldn't stand such

teasing; she followed him into the,

house. Along the wag. HuoQing tried

tg hold Nethand, but she tried to pull

back. Yet, he caught her wrist and

held it tightly. The content is on

Once they breached the subject of their relationship, the two inexperienced people always felt awkward and did

not know how to act.

Only the horse, still at the spot, jigged its haunches and snorted a few times, seemingly displeased at being left

behind by its master.

A forest of green plums, cold and quietly fragrant, seemed like everything was as usual, yet also completely

different...

When it was tto sit down for the meal, the two of them spoke very little, only the kitten under the table

bumped around and meowed noisily, appearing to want sfood.

"How was the braised fish | made last time? Did your sister-in-law like it?"

"Very good!" Shen Shuci answered without thinking, her face turning bright red after she spoke.

Hie.

How did he know she had made that braised fish for someone else?

She had cto the Huo Family to learn how to cook fish, saying she loved to eat it herself, but never

mentioned it was for someone else, nor did she mention Tang Wan. How did he know?

He must have guessed early on. And there she was "acting" in front of him. How could she not be embarrassed?

"When you're with me, you don’t have to hide or pretend; just be your true self."

Huo Qingi was a very perceptive

person. The day Shen Shuci said she

wanted to learn how nake braised

fishy cahde so suddenly, and with

such a resolve to not stop until she

mastered it, as if she had received a

military order. The content is on

If it was just for herself, she needn’t have been so determined; clearly, there were other reasons.

That left only Tang Wan!

Shen Shuci bowed her head and said no more.

She always felt he had already seen everything clearly; in front of him, she seemed to have nowhere to hide.

The people from the Huo Family stood by, anxious from the sidelines.

Couldn't they find snice topics? How could such a nice conversation die like this...
