[Loving a person does not need a reason. A heart skipping a beat could be caused by slight smile, or a slight touch.— Tan Zixi]
—————
Perhaps because she's been a strong woman for so long, what she wants isn't a subordinate, but someone who can stand shoulder to shoulder with her.
Tan Zixi couldn't understand why his IQ, which was over 180, had gotten stuck at this moment.
"I won't leave unless you don't want me anymore."
"I will always be by your side; I want to protect you."
The book says to express your love to your partner anytime, anywhere, so that they can't ignore it.
Slowly let it seep in until she gets used to your presence.
He wanted to make her his, her in life and in death, and no one else could touch her.
With a firm resolve, Tan Zixi had already prepared a small notebook for those who would dared to covet her.
Anyone who dares to show any signs of trouble will be given a big X.
At this moment, Tan Zixi had no idea that Miss Qin's reputation in the capital was actually not very good.
It's unlikely that anyone will have any... other thoughts about her.
In his view, it was only natural that someone so outstanding would be discovered and coveted.
Therefore, he must be extremely vigilant! He absolutely cannot give his rival the slightest chance!
Xunmi was somewhat speechless; this was different from the script.
Shouldn't it be that after she explained the reasoning to him, Zixi would silently agree to her request?
Why does this direction extend outwards so strangely? I feel so tired.
But what's with this inexplicable joy?
The Sky Pavilion, true to its name, is located on the third floor of the tallest skyscraper in the capital.
The first floor features the most distinctive couples' restaurants and various lounges suitable for couples.
Another floor features Thai and Italian cuisine, located on opposite sides of the middle floor.
The top floor houses a café and various entertainment facilities, as well as private rooms reserved for VIPs.
Ironically, the Sky Pavilion was opened by Tan Zixi, but not many people know this.
As for Xunmi, she didn't know either, except that the book mentioned that the male protagonist often came here to dine.
She would naturally cater to Tan Zixi's preferences in order to make him happy.
Even though she wasn't a fan of Thai food, she could still sample a little bit.
Seated by the floor-to-ceiling window, the sun shone brightly and intensely outside, while inside the restaurant, it was quiet and peaceful.
Upon seeing the two of them arrive, everyone at the restaurant either stopped what they were doing or froze in shock.
After all, Tan Zixi is someone who shines wherever he goes, and those who can enter the Sky Pavilion all have some status.
Many people know him and are familiar with him, and as for those who seek him out, they are even more well-known.
Who doesn't know or understand the eldest daughter of the Qin family?
"Heh...their reaction is really interesting, Zixi-ge, look, isn't it adorable?"
Xunmi leaned forward slightly, getting closer to Tan Zixi opposite him, and spoke with a smile.
Those bright, dark eyes darted around, taking in everything around them.
Tan Zixi was a little unhappy. The book said that when the other person pays more attention to others than to you, it definitely means that she has not fallen in love with you yet.
Since coming in, XunMi had been focused on others, even calling them interesting.
"They're all not good." I was the best, silently swallowing the rest of the sentence.
If he had known there would be so many third wheels, he would have cleared the area before he arrived.
Next time, he must remember this, and this situation must never happen again.
Xunmi paused for a moment, then burst out laughing: "Brother Zixi, has anyone ever told you that you're so cute?"
"He's also quite domineering, be careful you won't find a wife." His cuteness warmed her heart, and his domineering nature made her feel loved.
As for the last sentence, it was just a conditioned reflex of teasing, but Tan Zixi took it seriously.
He immediately declared in a serious and righteous tone: "I don't want a wife, I only want you."
I like you, and I will like you even more in the future.
"I never knew what a racing heart felt like. I never felt that way when I was in the military and facing life-or-death situations."
Tan Zixi pressed his hand to his heart, his eyes filled with boundless tenderness and affection.
"But when I saw you yesterday, I realized something was wrong."
"I don't understand what's going on, but subconsciously I want to watch over you and protect you."
"Kevin said I like you, and my mom said I like you too."
"Perhaps at first I thought I liked you because I listened to what they said."
"I only realized this today when you walked towards me from the side of the road."
"But this 'like' seems to have metamorphosed. I want to hide you away, so that you can only see me."
"I want to protect you well, so that you won't be hurt by anyone."
"And the books said that when you meet someone, you can't let the opportunity slip away."
"I don't want to let it slip away: I want to be together with you."
His strong voice carried a hint of unease, yet he remained steadfastly focused on the Xunmi's eyes.
A faint smile of happiness appeared on his usually cold and aloof face.
The sunlight streaming in through the window added a touch of gentleness to him.
Xunmi was somewhat dazed; it was as if she had seen a god, a god who belonged only to her.
The gods are making a tender confession to her, giving this drifting duckweed, which has been wandering for more than twenty years, a place where she can find refuge.
When she first arrived in this unfamiliar world, no one could understand the fear and anxiety in her heart.
She smiled, and every gesture she made exuded confidence and strength, without making any mistakes.
She was just afraid that someone would find out she was an outsider, that she wasn't just living for herself anymore, but for two people.
Xunmi nodded involuntarily, the confusion in her eyes still lingering.
"Great, you agreed. The book was right after all."
You must strike first and take down the opponent before they can react.
Tan Zixi was a little excited. He sat down next to Xun Mi and grinned foolishly.
Xunmi finally came to her senses, but she wished she hadn't reacted at that moment.
At this moment, all she wanted to do was cover her face. She really couldn't resist the allure of male beauty. Sigh...
If Tan Zixi had given her another half minute, she wouldn't have nodded so easily, looking at their current positions.
Xunmi silently expressed her embarrassment o(╯□╰)o. Now, even if I regret it, I won't be able to explain myself.
Didn't you see how shocked those who thought they were being so discreet while spying and eavesdropping were?
Adding to the imposing figure before her, she thought that if she dared to say it was just an accident, the other party would probably unleash a freezing gaze, killing anyone who looked at her. (⊙﹏⊙)
Tan Zixi didn't care what Xunmi was thinking; all he knew was that Xunmi was now his.
He can openly declare ownership in the future, and like the book says, he can hug and kiss whenever he wants, and seek comfort whenever he is unhappy.
That's great! I was right after all. I need to be decisive.
Unlike Kevin, who would dawdle and beg for advice when asked for it.
No, this won't work, that won't work, and they say that if you cultivate feelings first before confessing, you'll be absolutely sure to succeed.
That's bullshit! He's in a foolproof position right now!
