"Silly girl." Yang Yunhai teased Gu Lingling by playfully brushing her nose, "We can get engaged first. This way, I have a title, and you wonât have to worry about others confessing to you."
Gu Lingling, "..."
That actually makes a lot of sense.
"And besides," the sly fox continued, "weâre just getting engaged, I will support whatever you want to do, donât worry. When you turn twenty, weâll get married, okay?"
This doesnât seem like a bad idea at all.
Can she really do whatever she wants?
"So if I want to take the college entrance exam, will you support me too? Will you support anything I want to do?" The little girl, clearly caught by the old fox, asked eagerly.
"Of course." Yang Yunhai said confidently, "When have I ever lied to you?"
It seems like heâs always kept his word.
"Iâm afraid of scaring my family, maybe... you should wait a little." Gu Lingling thought for a moment, "I should probably discuss it with them first."
Suddenly announcing an engagement, and with Yang Yunhai no less, it would definitely shock her family.
"Okay, whatever you say." Yang Yunhai smiled lovingly, pressing his chin gently on her head, "As long as you agree, Iâll do my best to get their approval too."
Gu Lingling blushed and played ostrich, staying silent.
She still felt bewildered, as if her heart might jump out of her chest, and everything seemed dreamlike.
Happiness came so suddenly, it all still felt unreal to her.
If it werenât for Yang Yunhai holding her hand while driving all the way, Gu Lingling would have thought she was dreaming.
Or perhaps she really was dreaming.
If possible, please let this dream never end.
"Gu Lingling." Yang Yunhai stopped the car on the roadside and gave a gentle kiss to her left hand that he hadnât let go of since getting in, "You canât regret, or hesitate, understand? Just follow me."
"I..." Gu Lingling opened her mouth, but when she met Yang Yunhaiâs serious and persistent gaze, her little doubts vanished.
What was there to fear?
She feared she wasnât worthy of Yang Yunhai, because he was just too outstanding.
But ever since she was reborn, she had been working hard to become exceptional, striving to change the tragic fate of her past life for herself and those around her, striving for their happiness.
Among these people, Yang Yunhai was the most important.
In her past life, when she died, Yang Yunhai remained single due to He Yueâs circumstances. In countless dreams, she had seen him alone and lonely in his past life.
She was always trying hard to make Yang Yunhai avoid He Yue, the cousin he didnât yet know.
That Yang Yunhai would fall for her, Gu Lingling never expected.
But so what?
Sheâs not bad either!
And she found that, no matter how much she tried to ignore the flutter in her heart, she had to admit she had liked Yang Yunhai for a long time.
Since thatâs the case, why shouldnât she try harder? And Yang Yunhai liked her as well, didnât he?
"I wonât." Having figured it all out, Gu Lingling nodded firmly at Yang Yunhai, "I wonât let go unless..." you let go first!
"Thatâs good, I wonât give you that âunlessâ chance." Yang Yunhai smiled and kissed her hand.
"Canât you let go for a moment?" Gu Lingling blushed and said, "Focus on driving?"
Since they got in the car, he hadnât let go of her hand, as if afraid she would run away.
"Driving is more stable this way." He said, looking straight ahead without a hint of embarrassment.
Besides, having finally caught hold of it, why would he let go?
