Chapter 750 What Zixin would want

Their eyes teared up and they sniffled hugging her hard.

“Yubi, you idiot. Why did you poke me in the eye?”

“Didn’t you poke me first?” She shot back.

They laughed some during which they heard a rattling sound from somewhere.

Yubi scrunched up her brow. “What was that?”

Guiying tensely glanced at the bathroom because it was that place from where the sound originated. She quickly said, “Nothing. I guess it was just some bird outside.”

The twins talked some more in hushed voices and whispers and charged with excitement, they eventually left to do their jobs. With them gone, Guiying swiftly locked the door in front of her and released a long sigh of relief.

She turned and crashed straight into Zixin’s chest, the tip of her nose hitting one of the buttons. She rubbed her nose and looked up.

“What were you talking about? I couldn’t hear anything,” Zixin said with dissatisfaction laced in his voice.

Guiying coughed.

I cannot tell you of your birthday surprise, can I?

“Um…they just came by to ask me if I would want to join shopping with them,” she smiled, not wanting to show herself suspicious.

Sorry for lying, Zixin.

He frowned. “They came early in the morning and were banging the door just for that?”

“They were very excited. You know how the twins are. I don’t mind. We were awake anyway.”

“But why were you all whispering to each other like it’s some secret?”

Her brow twitched.

“We weren’t really whispering to each other. You were hiding in the bathroom. Possibly, you couldn’t hear because you were far away. Is that why you made the rattling sound?”

“I wanted to join in too,” he pursed his lips.

“What if they would have caught you?”

“Like I said, they would have understood the situation.”

“You mean misunderstood.”

“Understood,” he remained firm.

She walked behind him and started pushing him out. “Time for you to leave.”

His eyes widened, surprised. “I am leaving?”

“…This is my room.”

“Since we shared the same bed last night, shouldn’t it be ‘our’ room now?” He sincerely questioned.

“…”

She increased the strength in her palm and pushed him further and further out. “You are leaving right now.”

“So I am confused about what to plan for Zixin,” Guiying said with her shoulders slumped as she sipped on the juice.

She was currently at the Liu villa who came to ask for her suggestions for her predicament. Beside Ai, Jun was seated, who was tapping his fingers on his laptop buried in his work. Ai’s book launch event was very near and a lot of work had to be done.

Ai clapped her hands in delight. “It’s his first birthday celebration with you. It should definitely be something special. One that he will never forget.”

Guiying nodded. “I am exactly thinking like that. Just like his family, I want to make his birthday super special and memorable for him too. But he is Chen Zixin. He already has everything. What can I possibly give him?”

“Kisses and more kisses and a lot more kisses,” Jun chimed from beside Ai.

“…”

Ai looked back a little judgmentally and also questioningly. “Hooligan.”

“A hooligan herself cannot call out other hooligans. Do you know the spelling of hypocrisy?” He sneered.

“I don’t because that word has nothing to do with me,” she conscientiously said.

Guiying cleared her throat. “Kisses cannot really be a gift, can they?”

Jun kept his laptop aside and leaned a little closer. “I am Bro’s cousin.”

“Okay.”

“And a man.”

“Okay.”

“Which makes me instinctively understand what he wants. Believe me, he would be the happiest man on the earth if you rained kisses down on him because that’s all he is thinking about. I know that because that’s what I keep thinking about for an entire day. Then the cycle repeats for the next day.”

She choked.

Ai stared at him and said with a hint of complaint. “Why do you keep thinking about it when I always carry out my due diligence?”

“It’s never enough for me.”

She gasped. “What is your definition of ‘enough’ then?”

“Better you don’t tread into that world,” he smiled and pecked the tip of her nose. “You will run away from me.”

“I won’t.”

“As my fiance, I sincerely wouldn’t want to see you lose that challenge,” he chuckled.

He placed his palm over her lips to stop her further questioning line and looked at Guiying. “So you see, he doesn’t want anything fancy. He wants intimacy from the woman he loves. He will be on the seventh cloud, I assure you.”

Guiying blushed hard.

“Or even better,” Jun raised his brow, weighing the options in his mind whether to go ahead and suggest it or not. He didn’t want to put her on a spot.

Guiying curiously asked, “What is it?”

“You love Bro Zixin.”

She clasped her hands together, abashed. “…Ye-Yes…”

“How comfortable are you now telling that to him?”

She blinked.

“I mean confessing to him. Or maybe it is answering his confession.”

Her eyes widened.

“The yes to his confession would make him fly beyond the seventh heaven. It’s even more tempting than the kisses. It’s the most exhilarating gift you can give him. That is only if you want to take that step.”

Ai nodded hard amidst Jun’s hand covering her mouth that was restraining her from speaking.

“You both love each other. You have also lived with his family. By now, they would be completely head over heels for you, not just Bro. Is there anything stopping you?” 𝑖𝘦.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Guiying thought long and hard about it.

Jun was right. There was no roadblock between them anymore. At first, the insecurity had crept in if she was good enough for Zixin. But now the comfort level with Zixin had grown to an extent that the insecurity, the feeling of being something lesser and weaker doesn’t cross her mind at all. She was becoming stronger and independent, which was making her more confident day by day. She was beginning to think that she was slowly reaching the place where she could stand beside Chen Zixin with pride.

Her weak old self was making her hesitate all this time, but the new confident self that was taking shape was urging her to walk forward. It was a long journey to reach here but without a doubt, she was paving the way for herself.

She slowly shook her head at his question as she herself came to the same conclusion.

Jun smiled. “Well then you got your answer, didn’t you?”

Her heart pounded hard and fast.

Saying yes and crossing that last bridge…

“Also, a rain of kisses after saying yes will be the cherry on the cake for him. Just saying.”

“…”
