Yue Ze’s big hand clasped An Liuli’s head firmly.
He lowered his head and pressed his forehead against hers, waiting for a response from the little woman in his arms.
An Liuli, on the other hand, was a little dazed, and it was obvious that she had not yet reacted.
She just raised her chin slightly and stared blankly at the man in front of her.
Looking at his handsome face so close to her, after several seconds she asked in a voice so soft that it could hardly be heard, "What did you just say?"
Yue Ze curled his lips and gently ruffled her black hair: "I said, I don't care if you have any intentions or if you are deliberately plotting against me. I want to marry you and make sure you can only harm me in this life."
An Liuli: “…”
It's not the kind of confession that is full of love words but seems pale and powerless.
It's not a clichéd, playful-sounding promise.
She didn't expect that Yue Ze could actually say such words to her - 'Let her only harm him in this life'.
An Liuli's beautiful eyes were filled with mist uncontrollably, and she blinked her thick eyelashes. She stared at Yue Ze and said, "You should know that I am a scheming woman. I am not the gentle, considerate, pure and kind woman that most people like.
My mother can be very difficult and may cause you a lot of trouble. My family is also complicated, and... I don't have much confidence in getting married and starting a family with a man.
I… I’m more open to a relationship. For marriage, I need time… especially for a family. I… I…”
Her mind was in a mess and she had many things to say to Yue Ze.
Yes, she did like Yue Ze, he had been her only salvation.
But she has lived a very tiring and hard life these years, and there is almost no one she can trust except her cousin.
The softest parts of my heart have become hard.
They take an even more indifferent attitude towards love, family and marriage.
"Don't worry, I know, I know everything..." Yue Ze gently put his arms around her waist and held her in his arms.
His large, strong hands gently rubbed and soothed her back.
"I can give you time, we can take it slow... But Liuli, what I said about wanting you to marry me will always work. You don't need to worry about other things, and you don't need to have any psychological burden. I, Yue Ze, know exactly what kind of person you are, and I know that you are the woman I love."
"..." An Liuli, lying in Yue Ze's arms, was speechless.
The man's warmth, tolerance and love made her feel both unreal and familiar.
That was the feeling she had when she first met him and was unintentionally cared for by him.
More than four years had passed, and she had deliberately forgotten that memory.
She forced herself to grow and become strong.
But now, in front of Yue Ze, all her defenses and strength seemed to have vanished.
"Hmm..." Finally, An Liuli hummed softly.
"We... can try dating first. I think this might be a situation I can accept for now."
Apart from her cousin, she was not used to trusting someone wholeheartedly.
And now, she must first learn to trust, trust the man in front of her.
The light in Yue Ze's eyes dimmed quickly. What he wanted more was to marry the woman in his arms and take her home to pamper her.
However, being able to get her to relax and agree to date him was far beyond his expectations.
After all, before this, he was still the damn 'sugar daddy' in her mouth.
"Okay, from now on, I'm your boyfriend. Liuli... tell your boyfriend if anyone else has bullied you..."
