Chapter 1214. So… Are We Getting Married?


    He shook his head quickly. He could ept her other requests but not that one.


    Nian Xi didnt answer. She wanted to know what that boy was thinking.


    Im talking about the kiss, she said weakly.


    Oh, I get it. You should have made it clear, Jiang Yuning said in a low voice, ncing at her. His delicate lip corners curved slightly in a smile. His eyes radiated pleasantness.


    Seeing that look of his, Nian Xi didnt have the heart to say another a word.


    She started the car again. Jiang Yuning nced at the area where the car was parked.


    That ce was so nice. They only parked the car there so Nian Xi could withdraw some cash, but in that ce, he was kissed by her and she was willing to take responsibility for that.


    He was feeling happy.


    On the way, something else crossed Jiang Yunings mind. Earlier, I felt I didnt have a good reason to attend the party, but now I suddenly feel confident, he said with augh.


    Why did you insist on going to the party with me then? The corners of Nian Xis mouth twitched slightly.


    Because Im jealous, said Jiang Yuning in a weak voice. I was afraid Feng Ji Chuan might steal you away from me.


    He seemed to genuinely care a lot about her. Hearing his words gave Nian Xi a warm feeling inside.


    It turned out he was not some silly boy who knew nothing else but stepping back and giving up. He knew how to fight for what he wanted.


    She liked being a queen, but sometimes she liked being a princess.


    After arriving at the parking lot of the restaurant, Nian Xi prepared the red envelope, then got out of the car. Jiang Yuning followed along next to her.


    Xi, are we together now? he asked.


    Nian Xi turned and peered into his confused eyes, unsure what to say.


    Didnt I just say Id be responsible for you now?


    Does he want me to ask him to be with me?


    Enough! She would feel even more embarrassed if this discussion continued.


    Being responsible can have many different meanings. Jiang Yuning scratched the back of his head and said, For example, in TV dramas when a man says that to a woman, it means he probably wants to marry her. So what about us? Are we together, or are we getting married?


    What kind of TV dramas are you watching?


    The kind where the main male character gets drunk and sleeps with a female and in the morning says to her, Ill be responsible for you.'' Jiang Yuning answered the question honestly.


    I didnt know you watched such cliched TV dramas. Nian Xi was surprised. She recalled him fixing his eyes on the TV all the time when he was waiting for her at the police station. Was he watching TV?


    asionally, said Jiang Yuning. So Are we? Getting married?


    No! Nian Xi almostughed.


    He was pretending to be weak and innocent, wasnt he?


    I only kissed you. How can we get married because of a kiss? Its not as if Ive done something else with you. Nian Xi poked his chest with her finger and said, What youre doing now is like bargaining for stolen goods.


    Alright. So were not getting married. But why are you yelling at me? Jiang Yuningined, I didnt take the initiative to kiss you. I wanted to do that countless times, but I never let myself.


    Alright. Ick self-control, okay? Nian Xi felt like crying. Also, dont you hate talking? Youre talking a lot now. Isnt your jaw tired?


    Talking to other people is exhausting, but talking to you is like a sweet burden, said Jiang Yuning smiling.


    Nian Xi let that one go. Does he not like talking? Hes pretty good at it.


    Lets go upstairs. Dinners almost ready, she said. Sigh.
