Dealing With Him

Everything seemed to come to a standstill.

"Hmph!" Wen Ran suddenly snorted. She crossed her arms and said, "You lied to me earlier, didn't you? You shouldn't be offended if I lied to you."

Shen Wu sighed. "It was my mistake. Don't get mad at me, Ranran."

"Then promise me you won't lie to me anymore."

"Alright, I won't lie to you again."

That was when Wen Ran finally had a satisfied expression on her face. She no longer walked slowly but kept up with him at normal speed from behind. At the same time, she was silently forming seals with her hands that were behind her back. The only thing she could be grateful for at that moment was the little bit of talent she had even in sorcery even though she was not very good at swordsmanship.

The man walking in front of her seemed concerned for Wen Ran's feelings and said, "You wanted to break off our engagement, right? Why did you come all the way to someplace so dangerous just to look for me?"

Whoever that person was, he had been secretly observing them right from the beginning. There was no other reason for him to ask that question other than to gather information.

Wen Ran told the truth. "I wanted to break off our engagement because I don't think I'm good enough for you. You deserve a better girl."

"But you still came to find me."

"Engagement or not, you're still my senior brother. You've saved me once too, so I can't possibly just leave you behind."

"In that case, are your feelings toward me limited only to our relationship as seniors and juniors?"

"You can say that."

"But I'm of the opinion that you're the one who is most worthy of me."

They walked to an open area. The stone walls there were lit with candlelight, and there was a small path leading to the stone platform in the middle. There was water everywhere, causing the place to shimmer under the candlelight. The moist, cold water vapor permeated through the air and added a sense of pressure.

Strangely, there were carved beams and painted rafters there, and it appeared to be a large house that had not been completed.

The man put out the fire in his hand. He turned to look at her and said in a gentle tone, "I'm very touched that you braved such a dangerous place to look for me. Humans, unlike plants, can never be heartless. Ranran, I don't want to break off our engagement. I'll go so far as to say that I want to be your husband. "

Consider a situation where a handsome man was looking affectionately at a woman and confessing their love for her in such a sincere manner. Could any woman in the world say for certain that they were not moved?

However, Wen Ran felt that she would rather listen to Shen Wu's eccentric statements from time to time than look at the fake affectionate display of whoever it was that stood in front of her. She took a step back and asked, "Have you forgotten about Qin Susu?"

No one who had entered the forest had ever mentioned that name, so when Wen Ran mentioned Qin Susu, the man needed some time to figure out a response.

"To me, no woman in this world can compare to you." His statement was so general that it could be applied to any situation.

He walked slowly toward Wen Ran and said in a gentle voice, "Ranran, we're the only ones here right now. I know that I have a special place in your heart, so why don't you be a little braver and reveal what you really feel in your heart?"

His voice had a strange charm and Wen Ran's mind entered a brief state of Rans. She seemed to be longing for something from the bottom of her heart, and her entire body trembled as a result.

At that moment, the man was already leaning close to Wen Ran. "Show me all your desires and don't hold back. You'll soon receive the greatest happiness you'll ever get in your entire life."
