Chapter 504: Sincere Feelings
Lin Tian paused for a moment, "Are you saying no?"
Bai Shishi blushed even more. Even though she was older than Lin Tian, she had never been in a relationship, going straight to talking about marriage and kids was naturally embarrassing.
"When my dad asked you to get engaged to me, you agreed. Now when he asks you to have kids with me, will you agree too?" Bai Shishi said somewhat awkwardly, "Aren’t you forgetting about Qingcheng? She’s your girlfriend."
Lin Tian was taken aback, then looked at Bai Shishi with a mischievous grin.
"Why are you looking at me like that? If you have something to say, just say it!" Bai Shishi was a bit anxious, feeling like she was being teased!
"Have you forgotten? You wanted me to marry you!" Lin Tian’s playful smile remained.
"When!" Bai Shishi raised an eyebrow, getting serious.
"What kind of memory do you have? Just a couple of months ago, you said you wanted me to marry you, and that it was just a contract deal. Back then, you said if you didn’t bring a boyfriend home, you’d have to marry a stranger and become the family’s pawn, did you forget all that?"
Listening to Lin Tian’s words, Bai Shishi lifted her charming face, and memories rushed over her like waves.
It really happened. She had been about to confront her father with Lin Tian at her side, when she discovered Bai Jiaming was dead, and then quarreled with Lin Tian.
The more she thought about it, the clearer the incident became in Bai Shishi’s mind. She vividly remembered how arrogant this guy was when she asked him to marry her.
Claiming she was enamored by his looks! Could this guy not have some face?
"You actually remember that?" Bai Shishi wasn’t happy, but rather wore a face full of worries, "But the situation is different now than it was before, what about Qingcheng?"
Bai Shishi recalled having told Lin Tian then: Just treat all of this as an act.
But if they really got married, given the speed at which their relationship developed, they would absolutely become a real couple. But now there’s Liou Qingcheng in the mix.
Bai Shishi only felt a headache coming on, how could she end up in such a melodramatic situation?
Lin Tian was silent, and after a while, he exhaled deeply before speaking, "I am also very conflicted about this matter, but you said if you didn’t marry soon, you’d become the family’s pawn. I absolutely won’t allow you to marry a stranger!"
Lin Tian’s attitude was resolute, his hands unconsciously clenching into fists.
"Are you jealous?" Bai Shishi cautiously observed Lin Tian’s face, finding him even more handsome the longer she looked, utterly charming.
Lin Tian nodded generously, "Yes! I’m jealous, I absolutely won’t allow you to marry another man."
After listening, Bai Shishi’s expression didn’t change, but her heart was sweet and a bit wistful, "But if I don’t marry someone else, will you marry me?"
Lin Tian clenched his fists tighter, "I will! I would, didn’t I just agree with your dad earlier?"
"Are you just playing along, or are you being sincere?"
"Of course, I’m being sincere." Lin Tian looked at Bai Shishi with steadfast eyes, his gaze indescribably gentle.
During the two months apart from Bai Shishi, though he acted like a normal person, only he knew the bitterness in his heart, and her place in his heart became increasingly important.
Hearing Lin Tian’s response, Bai Shishi felt a warm stream flow through her heart. She was truly satisfied now, but Liou Qingcheng’s issue could not be ignored. After thinking for a long time, she finally decided, "Then let’s get engaged first, and we’ll talk about marriage later."
Since Bai Shishi said so, Lin Tian naturally had no objections.
The two exchanged glances and, thinking of something, both burst into laughter.
...
Kanyue City is the capital of Celestial Dragon Continent, one of the most prosperous places there.
During the day, the sun shines brightly, but at night, the heat almost entirely dissipates, and the gentle breeze feels indescribably refreshing.
Celestial Dragon Hotel, one of the largest and most luxurious five-star hotels in Kanyue City, is even more important for its location near the Imperial City, the most bustling area of Kanyue City.
Here, land is extremely precious, and owning property near the Imperial City is impossible without power, no matter how wealthy.
However, Celestial Dragon Hotel boasts a massive area, and upon entering, you’re greeted by soft lighting and elegant yet tasteful decor.
Even the greeters at the entrance stand out with their physiques, temperament, and looks, they’re beauties selected from tens of thousands, and in university would quickly top the campus beauty rankings.
Of course, spending money at Celestial Dragon Hotel requires significant wealth. The clientele here are either extremely wealthy or very powerful. Even though everyone knows things here are expensive, they all compete for the opportunity to spend, if only for face.
This hotel, of course, is a Bai Family property, but it hasn’t lacked business despite recent scandals surrounding the family, thriving as before.
Lin Tian, at Bai Shishi’s request, even put on a suit worth over ten thousand yuan.
Lin Tian originally didn’t want to wear a suit, feeling more comfortable in short sleeves.
But Bai Shishi said, "Though you can wear a twenty-yuan short sleeve, it would be embarrassing for me. You’re about to become my fiancé, you can’t embarrass me!"
Because of her words, Lin Tian and the others spent an entire afternoon picking clothes at the Bai Family’s mall.
Not only Lin Tian, but even Wu Yong, Tian Ming, and the others dressed very handsomely.
As for Wang Sicong, Lin Tian had forcibly put a human skin mask and wig on him to avoid unnecessary trouble, allowing him to reveal himself when necessary.
Initially, Mei Ruyan wanted to come, but as Xianglong Tea House still had many affairs to handle and Bai Shishi wasn’t there, she stayed to oversee things.
The Celestial Dragon Hotel is indeed vast, but there was a top-tier beauty in an orchid cheongsam named ’Yalan’ leading the way in front, turning even a long journey into a pleasure.
Lin Tian’s gaze lingered on Yalan for a few seconds before Bai Shishi became displeased. She glared at him and whispered in his ear, "Aren’t I prettier than her?"
"Uh..."
Lin Tian, slightly embarrassed, quickly shifted his gaze to Bai Shishi’s chest, observing the grandeur, and nodded repeatedly, "Yours is definitely more attractive, bigger and fairer, and looks bouncy."
Bai Shishi was both shy and annoyed, yet amused. Wearing a red low-cut long dress, she highlighted her curvaceous figure, and her wild beauty was always most alluring to men. Not giving Lin Tian a few more glances would be rather odd.
If any other man dared stare like this, Bai Shishi would have had them kicked out and beaten to pieces. Yet, facing Lin Tian’s gaze, she felt shy but also a bit proud.
Never seen it before? This is a G-cup!
Bai Shishi deliberately straightened her chest a bit, making it appear even fuller. Lin Tian almost got a nosebleed from the sight.
