Madame is Pretending to be an Academic Slacker Again!

He had never asked anyone for anything in his life.

But this time, facing Qin Xin, his tone carried a touch of sincere request.

He was willing to explain, he could explain, as long as she was willing to listen.

Qin Xin’s mind was in turmoil.

She arrived in Imperial City this afternoon, but only returned at night, just to sort out the agreement to break off the engagement.

If the person in his heart was his sister, then her stepping back was the best result.

Although, Lan Qingxin was no longer in this world, but precisely because of this, she couldn’t replace Lan Qingxin in accepting these complex feelings.

Her dignity also didn’t allow her to be a stand-in.

Moreover, with the identity of Lan Qingxin, there was also a time bomb, Xiangxiang, by her side. Would she be crazy to choose to return to that identity?

”There’s no need to explain. Mr. Nalan, my mind is made up. I will return the jewelry and dresses that Madam and you sent during the engagement. Once you sign the agreement, we can go to the public office for the procedure tomorrow. There are many girls wanting to marry you, you can...”

Qin Xin said resolutely, not only severing their ties but seemingly convincing herself as well.

In the darkness, she couldn’t see his face clearly, but she could feel the slight cold wind seeping through the door gap, making her heart feel chilly as she spoke.

It felt as if something in her heart was being torn apart, it was painful.

But it had to be done.

The next second.

Nalan Ye Jue suddenly interrupted her darkly, quite inconsistent with his usually patient and gentlemanly demeanor: ”Listen to me, little wife...”

Word by word, firm and powerful: ”The person I want to marry is only you. From the beginning to the end, only you.”

The person I want to marry is only you.

From the beginning to the end, only you.

Only you!

Qin Xin’s breath caught.

She never expected the cool and indifferent man to suddenly make such an intense declaration.

”What do you mean... from the beginning to the end...”

Qin Xin turned her face away, her face faintly flushing in the darkness.

They hadn’t known each other for long, it was merely an engagement by parental arrangement, without this engagement, they might never have intersected in their lives. After all, their respective realms were not quite the same.

Nalan Ye Jue silently sighed.

The little wife had truly forgotten him.

She didn’t remember the time when he first met her.

He didn’t know if recalling that past would make her believe, but he knew now was not the time to reminisce, he needed to resolve the misunderstanding in the little wife’s heart, first explaining clearly his relationship with Lan Qingxin.

Though he had never dated any woman, after thinking for so many days, he finally understood why the little wife’s attitude towards him suddenly changed—it was the moment before sending him off on a business trip when he hugged her and said Lan Qingxin was gone.

She was scared.

So she told Master Tuantuan that he always liked another woman.

”There is no other woman. From the beginning to the end, it has always been you.” He explained firmly, ”Lan Qingxin is just my sister, she has always been just a sister to me, a sister without any blood relation, and I have never crossed that line. Everything I did for her was fulfilling my responsibilities as a brother without any personal motives.”

At this point, he paused and said in a low voice, ”Only you, only when it’s you do I have full personal feelings, wanting to hold you, wanting to kiss your lips, wanting to... do many things with you, wanting to become a real couple with you.”

The man’s rich and hoarse voice was moving.

Qin Xin’s big eyes widened in astonishment, almost unable to blink, she was too surprised.

The man who never spoke romantic words, when he did, it felt like a thunderclap, ground-shaking.

And he said it so naturally, completely from the heart.

Straightforward, yet touching.
