Chapter 916: Are You Willing to Get Serious with Me?
Nangong Jin cleared his throat twice, but couldn’t help chuckling, finally having smoothly cleared the first hurdle.
He lifted his gaze towards Di Jinxuan, and his slender peach blossom eyes brimmed with unbidden tenderness.
Di Jinxuan knitted her brows, what the hell was going on?
The momentum had been bordering on a fight just a moment ago, and suddenly, everyone seemed to have made up?
She was left with a face full of awkwardness, plus confusion.
She was utterly at a loss, what, what, what did this all mean?
Seeing how her brothers suddenly changed their tune, all suggesting that they were actually easy to talk to, continuing on as good buddies.
Did that mean she had been sold out?
Di Mingzhe, still standing where he was, thought for a moment and then reached out to Di Xiaxia with a smile, "Xiaxia, come here, let’s grab some barbecue."
Di Xiaxia, of course, happily stepped forward and gave Nangong Jin an encouraging gesture.
Nangong Ran also recovered from his confusion and immediately followed, exclaiming, "I want some barbecue too!"
And so, they all dashed off in a flash.
Leaving only Nangong Jin and Di Jinxuan standing face to face.
Di Jinxuan was still lost in confusion, her delicate face full of bewilderment, and she seemed still puzzled by how the situation had changed so suddenly.
Seeing her like this, Nangong Jin couldn’t help but let out a smile, deep and enchanting, reaching the bottom of his eyes, his gorgeous face full of softness.
Di Jinxuan was suddenly stunned, goddamn, what a seducer.
What was she to do?
She needed some barbecue to calm her shock as well.
Thus, Di Jinxuan also started walking, in a hurry, with her eyes downcast, feeling embarrassingly awkward.
It was only a moment of compassion, and yet, it had turned into such a situation.
She hurried along, passing by Nangong Jin, purposely averting her eyes from him, even keeping some distance between them.
Unexpected to her, even with that distance, Nangong Jin reached out and grabbed her hand.
Di Jinxuan was startled, her pace halted, her hand tightly gripped by him.
Di Jinxuan looked back, frantic with awkwardness, and quickly struggled, "What are you doing? Let go of me quickly."
"I want to talk to you for a moment," Nangong Jin turned around, his long, seductive peach blossom eyes unwaveringly locked onto her face.
"I have nothing to talk about with you," Di Jinxuan tried hard to pull her hand free.
But he gripped even tighter, his gaze on her deepening, and the corners of his lips lifted in a light smile, still with a hint of rascality.
He began to speak, with a gorgeous voice tinged with sensuality and temptation, yet mixed with a depth never before present. "Di Jinxuan, perhaps I’ve never taken things seriously before, but this time, I want to. Would you be willing to take it seriously with me?"
He asked very directly, and spoke very sincerely.
Di Jinxuan’s brows suddenly furrowed; did that one sentence sum up everything?
Never serious before, but now wanting to be?
And he was asking if she would be willing to be serious with him?
Be serious about what?
Di Jinxuan looked into his eyes, which were so lustrous they made her heart race, feeling bewildered.
This side of him, it seemed, really, truly breathtaking, and deeply stirring.
But, what did he want to be serious about with her?
"Serious about what?" Di Jinxuan blurted out without thinking.
"Serious about every day from now on," Nangong Jin replied calmly, still looking at her, with tenderness in his eyes, which was unheard of until now.
He admitted, at first, he hadn’t thought about being serious, including when he kissed her.
But, sometimes things turn out this way; what you start out curious about, just wanting to play with, suddenly becomes an obsession.
