Free Web NovelChapter 713: Only Wish She Would Love Me Forever
Sheng Yi quietly observed the interior decoration.
The theme was purely business-like in black, white, and gray. Everywhere she looked, it seemed that besides black, white, and gray, there were no other striking colors—extremely monotonous.
She still felt a bit uneasy, after all, before today, she hadn’t expected to stay at Dao An’s place. She raised her hand to touch her earlobe, and just as she turned around, she saw the man in a white shirt walking toward her: "I’ve moved twice in Manhattan, and after moving here the second time, I never changed places again. The color scheme was originally minimalistic white. Combining more striking colors was a bit troublesome, so it became the way you’re seeing it now."
Sheng Yi hadn’t expected that he would take the time to explain the color scheme of his home’s decoration to her.
Her hand dropped from her earlobe and hung by her side. Without much thought, she casually mixed the words together and said, "It seems like most men prefer such a color scheme."
Just as the man took out his phone, he heard her words, looked at her, and suddenly asked, "You know men well?"
Know men well?
Why would he ask that?
Could it be because she had been too casual that day, leaving a poor impression solidified in his mind??
With that thought, Sheng Yi felt her heart tighten. As she pondered how best to respond, she heard him ask again, "Yiyi, do you know me well?"
——Yiyi, do you know me well.
This question struck directly at Sheng Yi’s heart.
But because of his question, Sheng Yi’s previous moment of unease turned into stunned disbelief in the next moment.
Her first reaction, of course, was to deny. She shook her head hastily: "No, I don’t, not at all."
A triple denial.
Worried he wouldn’t believe her, she even waved her hands several times to show that she really didn’t know him well.
Sheng Yi thought that if she denied it steadfastly, Dao An would never know that she liked him.
But his next words left her utterly speechless.
He asked her, "Then do you want to know me?"
Sheng Yi: "..."
He had asked her if she wanted to know him!!!
Help!
If her earlier denials were to avoid him finding something out,
then his final question, asking if she wanted to know him, seemed to suggest he had discovered something?!
In an instant, Sheng Yi’s heart was pounding heavily, her mouth slightly agape, yet she couldn’t utter a single word.
Her reaction made her freeze for quite a while.
Until she felt a warm touch on her forehead, and when she lifted her eyes slightly, she saw the tips of his fingers lightly brushing her forehead before he withdrew his hand, asking seriously, "Have you come back to your senses?"
After his words.
Two pink clouds quickly crept up on Sheng Yi’s delicate cheeks.
Her reaction...she was clearly shy!
For some reason, after this meeting with Dao An, she felt that their interactions were different from before. It was as if their relationship had suddenly taken a qualitative leap, and even their conversations had progressed rapidly.
The first step in bridging this gap was him changing how he addressed her.
After that, there were always instances of ambiguous physical contact.
Although she couldn’t explain why this was happening, deep down she liked him immensely. However, bound by moral constraints, she didn’t dare express a hint of her happiness. She even wondered in her mind if Dao An was someone who would cheat behind his girlfriend’s back.
This thought made her stomach churn with discomfort.
He withdrew his hand, and she heard him say, "There are three bedrooms. The one I usually sleep in is the master bedroom, and the other two have beds, but I haven’t had guests here, so those rooms haven’t been cleaned..."
Before he could finish, Sheng Yi, out of habit, interjected, "I can clean it up myself, I don’t mind."
The man’s expression was restrained: "I mean, you can sleep in the master bedroom tonight; you needn’t bother with the other rooms. I’ll have the housekeeper clean them tomorrow."
"...Ah?" Sleeping in his master bedroom...
Sheng Yi felt embarrassed, fidgeting with her hands. Realizing her clothes had no pockets, she clasped her hands behind her back, looking down at her feet: "Although I’m a bit lazy, tidying up a room isn’t a big deal for me. Since I’m already staying at your place, how can I even consider taking over your master bedroom."
She’s discovered that as long as she’s standing close to Dao An, she feels uneasy, unsure of where to place her hands and feet!
"Yiyi."
