Why should she punish herself for Qin Yunxi's scoundrel behavior?
Why should the despicable man be at ease while she was furious?
No way!
He was the one chasing her, the one clinging to her shamelessly. The situation should have been reversed!
Grace stopped running and stood with her hands on her hips, beckoning him.
"What is it?" Qin Yunxi trotted over.
Grace looked at him with a solemn expression. "Are you sure you want to marry me? The kind where you can't marry anyone else but me?"
Qin Yunxi crossed his arms and looked down at her. "It's not that I *have* to marry you."
Grace: "——"
Damn it!
Scumbag!
You utter scumbag!
She was just being glib when she said those four words!
Grace's eyes bulged again, her breathing becoming erratic.
No, she couldn't let this despicable man make her spit blood with just a few words. She had to remain calm!
"Since you're not sincere, then forget it." She turned and walked away.
Qin Yunxi walked beside her, noticing that she seemed less furious. Was she willing to talk to him properly now?
Nice!
"Wait."
Excitedly, he floated to a flower bed, plucked a few gardenias, and offered them. "Here, for you."
Grace didn't take them.
Qin Yunxi then asked, "Is this considered our first date?"
Dream on!
Grace forced a smile and said, "Master Qin, you should find a woman willing to marry you. I'm sure there are plenty, enough to circle the Earth dozens of times."
The great Master Qin was not angered by her sarcasm; instead, he burst into laughter. "Hahaha."
"Are you unhappy?"
"Are you jealous?"
Grace: "——————"
Excuse me, she had spoken her true feelings, so why did he interpret it as her being unhappy or jealous?!
Scumbags really did have peculiar thought processes!
However, before she could retort, Qin Yunxi added, "Let me tell you some good news. You are, by far, the only woman I want to marry."
Grace: "——————"
Thank you very much!
This is a disaster for me!
Grace's heart burned with rage, but outwardly, she said coldly, "Do all you men talk such nonsense?"
Hmm~
Who was she implying with that statement?
Qin Yunxi's deep gaze met hers. "Have you been hurt before?"
Grace: Uh—
A flicker of surprise crossed her eyes. She was once again astonished by his unexpected line of thought.
"No!"
She averted her gaze, avoiding his eyes.
Sensing the low pressure emanating from her, the pain of licking her wounds alone in the dead of night, Qin Yunxi couldn't bear it. He dismounted his hoverboard. "Are you tired from walking? Want a ride?"
Grace was just wondering how to get rid of him.
Ride!
Of course, she wanted a ride!
She quickly stepped onto the hoverboard, intending to zoom away, but the man clearly disagreed.
Qin Yunxi grabbed her hand and brought it to his lips, kissing it. "Today's kiss."
Grace: "!"
Controlling the hoverboard, she directly used her knee to strike his crotch. "Pervert!"
Qin Yunxi let out a cry of pain, "Ah—"
Clutching his groin, he stumbled back two steps, his face contorted in pain. "Grace, if you cripple me, you'll have no marital bliss in the future."
The woman spat at him with utter disdain and sped away on the hoverboard, disappearing into the distance.
In the darkness, only the man's thoughtful, light chuckle remained.
Stretching lazily, Qin Yunxi was in an excellent mood. He muttered to himself, "She must have gotten over last night's unpleasantness by now, right?"
—
Hiss~~~
So painful!
The splitting headache from the hangover made Du Ruoxin wish she could die, but she couldn't, as she still had a little princess to attend to.
"Mommy, Mommy, time to get up..."
Listen to that incessant calling!
"If you don't get up soon, I'll be late."
Rong Doudou straddled her mommy like a horse, making "duang duang duang" sounds.
"Ah..."
My back is going to break. My back is going to break.
Doudou, stop, stop, don't torment your mother.
Du Ruoxin moved with difficulty, scooped up her daughter, and buried her head in her embrace, groaning in pain. "Darling, Mommy is sick. Can the nanny take you to school today?"
Rong Doudou looked concerned. "Ah? Does Mommy have a cold and a fever?"
She reached out and touched her mommy's forehead. "You're not hot. Mommy, where do you feel unwell?"
Du Ruoxin whimpered, "My head hurts, I'm dizzy, and I have no strength in my whole body."
Rong Doudou became even more anxious. "Is Mommy seriously ill? No, I need to ask for leave from school and stay home to take care of Mommy."
