Chapter 122: Good Girl

“Wait, wait… I’ll tell you.” Yan Yichen curled his lips into a slight smile and tapped her pert nose with his index finger, nodding in satisfaction. “Good girl…”

After a pause, he continued, “Tell me, why did you go to see him?”

The scoundrel only knew how to threaten her!

Meng Yier pouted briefly, hesitating before reluctantly answering, “A few days ago, Kesen did propose to me. At that time, I neither accepted nor rejected him. He said he’d give me a few days to think it over. I arranged to meet him tonight because I wanted to tell him face-to-face that I can’t accept his proposal.”

Yan Yichen was momentarily stunned. The heavy weight pressing on his heart finally lifted, and he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

“You didn’t accept his proposal?”

“Of course not…” Meng Yier’s voice rose a few decibels, and she fought back the urge to roll her eyes.

What did this man take her for?

They were so close—how could she possibly accept Kesen’s proposal now?

Besides, she had already come to understand her own heart.

There was no room for any other man but him.

Yan Yichen raised an eyebrow, suppressing the joy welling up inside him.

“Why?”

Meng Yier lifted her eyes, bright with confusion and shock as she looked at him.

Couldn’t he sense her feelings for him?

Then, seeing the slight twitch at the corner of Yan Yichen’s lips and the unhidden amusement in his eyes, she understood completely. Blushing, she lowered her gaze again.

“You… you’re asking knowing full well.”

“Then why didn’t you just reject his proposal outright?”

His voice was cold, low, and measured as it sounded again.

Meng Yier spoke softly, “At the time, I wasn’t clear about my own feelings. I thought maybe I could try to accept him…”

Yan Yichen’s lips curved upward just slightly. “And now you understand your heart?”

Meng Yier nodded, a suspicious flush coloring her cheeks.

“Then tell me, who is the one in your heart?”

His eyes, as dark as the night sky, fixed intently on her. His voice deep and seductive, laced with temptation.

Meng Yier’s delicate face reddened further as she buried herself against his chest. “I won’t tell you…”

Yan Yichen gazed at the shy, adorable woman in his arms, his previous annoyance melting away. A smile unconsciously lifted the corners of his mouth.

Though the little girl remained stubbornly silent, refusing to speak her heart, her actions said enough.

The one in her heart was him… Yan Yichen.

“Yan Yichen, put me down first. Do we really have to discuss this while in this position?” Meng Yier, noticing their intimate posture, blushed all over again.

“Tell me, who is the one in your heart?”

Meng Yier suddenly leaned forward and pressed a kiss to his cheek.

“By the way, how did you know Kesen proposed to me?”

Her cheeks flushed even deeper as she buried her face in his chest. “I won’t tell you…”

Yan Yichen looked at the shy and adorable woman in his arms, his irritation completely gone, a smile playing on his lips.

Though the little girl was still stubborn and wouldn’t speak her heart aloud, her actions made everything clear.

The one in her heart was him… Yan Yichen.

“Yan Yichen, put me down first. Do we really have to talk about this in this position?” Meng Yier said again, cheeks burning with embarrassment.

“Tell me, who is the one in your heart?”
