Contract Marriage: Love Has Finally Arrived

Chapter 1660: Chapter 1661: Marriage Should Not Be Proposed by Others

Not?

This answer was beyond Feng Jinglei’s expectations.

He agreed to marry her from the moment he knew she was pregnant, but was it not for that reason?

Her clear eyes gazed at the side profile of the man in front of her, waiting for his next answer. The anticipation and excitement in her heart felt like countless young deer were bounding inside.

However, he did not speak, merely looked out the window, as if pondering something.

She froze for a moment, suddenly wondering if she was being too sentimental again.

"But, I remember coming back from the Western Suburbs, and Grandpa mentioned the marriage, yet you... refused." She spoke again, desperately wanting to know why he agreed to the marriage.

Could it be that little bit of extravagant hope in her heart?

Her heart was at her throat’s edge, waiting for his uncertain answer.

After a moment of silence, Qin Feimo suddenly turned his head, his deep eyes falling on her face, "Did I refuse?"

She was stunned, somewhat baffled by his question.

"Didn’t you?" she questioned him back.

He turned his head again, looking out the window, "My response at the time was, let’s talk about it later."

She was completely dumbfounded.

"Later" wasn’t that a gentle refusal? Could there be another meaning?

"What do you mean?"

He turned his head, meeting her confused dark eyes, "How can a marriage proposal be voiced by someone else?"

Upon hearing this, Feng Jinglei first fell into a daze, and the next moment her heart seemed to be hit by waves of shock.

Did he mean that his "let’s talk about it later" was not a gentle refusal, but... he wanted to propose to her himself?

How could it be, he clearly did not like her that much, and from start to finish, the feeling he gave her was hot and cold. Though midway, he made some moves that made her heart flutter, she always thought it was just a whim. He never took it seriously, sometimes she even thought those intimate actions were because of Ma Qianqian’s death. He did them on purpose to make her fall in love with him.

Back then, she really thought that.

But was it not like that? Did he actually have affection for her?

Her eyes suddenly felt sore, a layer of mist blurred her vision, making her nose slightly red.

He was caught off guard, somewhat startled.

Did she cry so easily?

"Are your tears always so close to the surface?"

She came to her senses, sniffled, trying to control her excited heart while sobbing, "No, I’ve liked you for many years, but... since entering the Commander Residence, you always seemed to ignore me. I always thought there was someone else in your heart, but... suddenly you say this, I..."

How could she not feel sore, when a man who has always been cold to her suddenly shows warmth like fire? The contrast caught her off guard, and she was overwhelmed to finally have a resolution to her steadfast love for him over these years.

Staring at those teary eyes, he never knew that his care, for her, was like a precious treasure, something she waited for with her life.

His chest ached with the pain from her falling tears, and he couldn’t help but lift his hand, reaching for the back of her neck, pulling her close to kiss her deeply.

The kiss was light, gentle, deep, and lasting...

...

The following day.

Early in the morning, Feng Jinglei was about to leave without even having breakfast, thinking about Luo Xiaoqian who was alone and uncared for in the hospital.
