Ask Him to Marry

Elder Xi knew when to step back, so he nodded. "Alright, this should be your decision anyway. Grandfather believes in both of you."

"Thank you." Mubai replied with a smile, appreciative of his grandfather's understanding. Xinghe looked at Mubai, her eyes seemed to speak of her appreciation as well. She appreciated his understanding of her refusal, without demanding a reason from her.

Mubai grabbed her hand and leaned in and whispered in her ear, "I'm not that generous, you'll have to explain everything to me when we get home later, okay?"

Without a valid explanation, he would not relent so easily. Staring at Xinghe, Mubai purposely gave a wicked and dangerous grin.

Xinghe merely nodded in return with a smile. She felt like she did owe him an explanation.

…

When they reached the Hills Residence, Mubai pulled Xinghe to the bedroom.
