Du Jinruoâs hand was held by him, and she only felt her heart racing.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Even if youâre forty, you wouldnât be considered old, and besides, Iâm not as young as Chiang Xiao, Iâm in my twenties too."
Hmm, why was she comparing herself to Chiang Xiao?
Kuang Yunxian said, "I never really thought about marriage before, not deliberately avoiding it, just felt that I hadnât met someone I wanted to spend my life with. If marriage is just a mess of trivialities, itâs better to live quietly alone. But now, I suddenly want to get married, and if the person I marry is you, it feels great."
"I, I..."
No one had ever said such words to Du Jinruo before, her heart was genuinely racing fast.
Kuang Yunxian spoke gently, not sounding deeply affectionate, but somehow she felt that made him even more sincere, giving her a sense of security.
"I am someone who, put nicely, is refined, but actually just a bit mild, many things are just fine as they are, never truly fighting for anything."
Kuang Yunxian continued, "So, this could be considered the first time Iâm fighting for a woman I want to spend my life with. I donât have much; this house, a small place in City M, a car, and a job that keeps life somewhat stable, probably just teaching and writing my whole life. Compared to you, is it too far?"
Du Jinruo quickly shook her head.
"No, itâs pretty, pretty good."
It was pretty good, his character might actually make the pressure of getting along with him less.
"Do you think you can spend the rest of your life with a person like me?"
Du Jinruo stared at him blankly.
"But, but weâve only been together for a few days."
"But weâve enjoyed our time together, havenât we? As for other things, we can continue to understand each other after marriage. I know your temperament; even in disagreements, you wouldnât argue, and neither would I. We can communicate well, and if needed, I will compromise. What do you think?"
Du Jinruo felt a bit dizzy.
What should she say?
Although she had some thoughts, wanting to see if thereâs potential with him, she didnât expect marriage to come up so soon.
But her age wasnât exactly young either.
Chiang Xiao returned home, thought of Kuang Yunxian and Du Jinruo, and couldnât help but smile.
This fate is really too wonderful.
Still, she actually felt they made a good pair.
Though she didnât like Du Jinruo, she had to admit Du Jinruo wasnât bad.
If she could have a good ending, it wouldnât be a bad thing.
Itâs just, becoming neighbors with her...
This is really, a bit bittersweet.
Upon entering, a young man sitting in the courtyard immediately stood up when he saw her.
Chiang Xiao caught sight of him and suddenly halted.
Why did she find this personâs face so familiar?
"Are you Ding Haijing?"
"Yes, I am Ding Haijing, hello, Miss Chiang."
Ding Haijing was about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, about 175 centimeters tall, with a sturdy build, a square face, thick eyebrows, big eyes, slightly full lips, and a crew cut, looking like a handsome, sunny man.
The name Ding Haijing, Chiang Xiao confirmed that she had heard it mentioned for the first time by Meng Xinian, never heard it elsewhere, and she couldnât recall ever seeing him.
But why did he seem so familiar?
And more so, the more she looked, the more familiar he seemed.
