Chapter 51 Their First Real Meeting (2/2)

"You mean I should make the decision? You can leave if I disagree, and stay if I want to?"

Lin Han nodded, "Yes, you make the decision."

You know I'm the daughter of a capitalist, and my family background is problematic. If you're with me, you'll inevitably be implicated. I have to tell you this upfront.

Huo Qizheng didn't answer, but just kept looking into Lin Han's eyes.

After a long silence, she asked, "I want to know your true thoughts. Do you even have the slightest bit of affection for me?"

Although he was very grateful to Lin Han for taking care of him during this time, he also selfishly wanted to keep her by his side.

But Lin Han is a living, breathing person, and her life should not be controlled by others. Whether it was the person who forced her to marry in place of another or himself, no one can decide her future for her.

If Lin Han doesn't like him, he will give her freedom.

But if she also has feelings for him, he will never let her leave.

The moment Lin Han said she wasn't the one he wanted to marry, Huo Qizheng's heart trembled.

He then truly understood that his feelings for Lin Han were not just gratitude, but also a strange fear of losing her had begun to emerge.

Would you like to stay?

If the question is too difficult to answer, he can disregard whether she likes him or not and simply ask her if she wants to stay.

“I’m willing. It’s a great place here, Aunt Qin and Uncle are great, and you are great too.”

Huo Qizheng smiled with relief, and took Lin Han's hand.

"No matter who you were before, you are now my wife, Huo Qizheng's wife. If you're willing, you can stay by my side for the rest of your life and let me protect you, okay?"

Lin Han was a little taken aback by his sudden affection, but in order not to lose face in front of the man, she pretended to be very calm and took Huo Qizheng's hand in return, gently hooking her finger in his palm.

"Okay, then you'll protect me from now on."

Huo Qizheng's palms felt a little itchy from being tickled. He looked into Lin Han's eyes, his chest heaving, and unconsciously reached out to brush away the stray hairs by her ear.

When the fingertips touched Lin Han's ear, it felt like an electric shock; a strange current traveled from the fingertips to the whole body.

His throat bobbed, he swallowed, and felt his mouth and tongue go dry.

Lin Han's big eyes blinked in front of him, and he could hardly resist. He put one hand on the back of Lin Han's head, leaned forward, and closed the distance between them.

"Hanhan, may I kiss you?"

Lin Han had never kissed anyone before, but she didn't mind being kissed by a handsome guy. In fact, she really wanted Huo Qizheng to just kiss her without any restraint, preferably in a wild way.

But his polite question made her feel a little awkward.

Lin Han nodded shyly without saying a word.

Huo Qizheng seemed encouraged; his heart pounded and his breathing became heavy.

He gently pulled Lin Han into his arms, and the two were almost pressed together.

Huo Qizheng didn't know what was wrong with him, but whenever he saw Lin Han, he felt an overwhelming urge to get close to her, a feeling that made him almost unrecognizable to himself.

Even now, when he thinks back to the time when he was unconscious, the feeling of Lin Han's soft, delicate hands roaming over his body makes him feel swollen and unbearable.

It seems he's really going to fall for this little girl.

The two drew closer and closer, until their breaths mingled. Huo Qizheng touched her forehead, and their noses brushed gently against each other, making the surrounding air feel hot.

Huo Qizheng couldn't resist and slightly turned his head to reach for Lin Han's lips.

Just as their lips touched, before they could deepen their kiss, an untimely voice rang out from the doorway.

What are you doing?
