Chapter 45

Duan Shiyan’s gaze was as hot as fire.

It seemed to be surging with some kind of intense and passionate emotion, looking directly into her eyes.

A strange ambiguous atmosphere melted with the quiet surroundings, drawing a line between them, silently stirring up ripples of destiny.

Jinwu’s breath caught in her throat.

Her attention was as if falling into his deep and burning eyes, as if there was some kind of attraction, drawing her to think—

If Duan Shiyan really would be in love, then who would he be in love with?

Realizing that her thoughts were gradually drifting away, Jinwu’s eyelashes trembled slightly, she quickly steadied her slightly disordered mind.

“Just pretend that you really would be in love with someone, but don’t forget that scumbag Fu Yucheng, who we left behind.”

His gaze remained hot and scorching.

Jinwu couldn’t help but shift her gaze slightly, but she still felt the heat radiating from the place he was staring at, “Even though that scumbag is a thing of the past, but don’t they say that your kind of tycoons have very thorough background checks? What if they investigate this and ask about it?”

Oh right.

There’s also the ex-husband.

“What’s so difficult about that?”

Duan Shiyan kept looking straight at her, his lazy, low, magnetic tone concealed a burning passion, “Then tell them that I’ve been unilaterally in love with you since high school, you’ve always been the white moonlight I’ve been thinking about, I’d rather become a bald monk than not have you, finally, I finally waited until you broke up with your lousy ex-boyfriend, I took advantage of the situation, successfully took over, my ten-year unrequited love finally came to fruition.”

Jinwu: ?

I told you to be more rigorous and rewrite it, I didn’t tell you to make it even more outrageous!

He even added the plot of taking advantage of the situation and waiting for ten years of unrequited love, which is completely inconsistent with his arrogant and flamboyant personality!

Would anyone believe that?

“Let’s just go with that.”

Duan Shiyan’s lips curled up, he reached out and tapped Jinwu’s slightly furrowed brow, his smiling eyes focused and burning as he looked at her, “Besides, didn’t I tell you before that my family has been urging me to go on blind dates, and I just wouldn’t? Well, this reason explains why I was so resistant, because—”

His eyes narrowed slightly, his deep pupils once again carried a burning and straightforward gaze, like a blazing fire, staring straight at her.

“I’ve been waiting for the moon to fall for me.”

At that moment.

Jinwu felt as if her whole heart was struck by something, it suddenly beat uncontrollably faster.

She met his burning gaze, suddenly feeling a little dazed.

Did Duan Shiyan always look at her like this?

Is it this kind of gaze, the kind that can draw a line, make your body unconsciously heat up, and your heart beat uncontrollably?

If so.

Why didn’t she notice it before?

Just as Jinwu was a little dazed, she heard him chuckle softly.

“Mrs. Duan.”

Duan Shiyan’s lips curled up, he reached out and gently scraped her nose, his low magnetic voice had a sticky quality, “Do you think what I said just now was very reasonable? Hmm?”

It’s not a story.

It’s not a fabrication.

It feels like being rubbed by a warm dog’s head.

Jinwu’s ears couldn’t help but itch, her heart, which was beating a little too fast, made her will start to waver.

“It seems pretty reasonable…no!”

As someone who has been at the top of the academic rankings since childhood, the youngest chief surgeon at the Capital Affiliated Hospital, even in a state of emotional agitation, she can quickly spot the problem.

“If I was really your white moonlight, you should know me very well.”

Catching a logical point, Jinwu immediately sat up straight, her beautiful white face showed a serious expression, “Let’s check each other’s information now, just in case they ask and we get caught.”

Duan Shiyan looked down at her serious expression, the smile in his eyes deepened.

His wife’s serious look is so cute.

It’s absolutely adorable!

Adorable to the point where he wants to kiss her.

He also wants to… do it.

Just as Jinwu cleared her throat, ready to introduce herself like a student at the beginning of a new school year, she was about to say some of her likes and habits.

She heard the man beside her say slowly and unhurriedly.

“Jinwu, 25 years old, attended Beijing No. 1 High School for junior and senior high, majored in medicine at Peking University, currently working as a chief surgeon in the Department of Surgery at Peking University Affiliated Hospital, 168 cm tall, weighs about 47 kg, birthday is on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Aquarius, favorite color is blue, followed by purple, likes sweets, dislikes onions and ginger, also dislikes fish and overly sour food, when she eats something delicious, her legs will shake under the table, when she eats something bad, her nose will wrinkle…”

As if he were hosting a large-scale, multi-billion dollar project meeting.

Duan Shiyan leaned back lazily, his long legs crossed, his speech was even and slow, clearly stating everything about her that was already etched in his bones.

Jinwu was completely stunned.

Not only was all the information he said correct, he even knew her better than she did herself…

It was as if, as he said, he had been secretly in love with her for a very, very long time…

Jinwu’s breathing slowed.

She suddenly heard in her ears what Duan Shiyan had said to her just now—

“Jinwu, what if I tell you, I really would be unilaterally in love with someone?”

It was as if a small stone had been thrown into a calm lake, instantly causing ripples.

Jinwu’s eyelashes trembled, she quickly suppressed her racing heart.

Calm down.

Calm down!

Maybe he had investigated her beforehand, so he knew so much about her likes and habits.

Yes, that must be it.

He can’t just randomly find an old classmate and get married, he must have done some background checks beforehand.

Even though her reason told her that.

But as Jinwu met Duan Shiyan’s still burning gaze, she couldn’t help but ask, “Duan Shiyan, how do you know so much about my likes and habits?”

“Because I like you.”

As soon as she finished speaking, this straight ball, like a confession, came unexpectedly.

Instantly making Jinwu’s breath catch, her heart beating erratically.

“What?”

Jinwu’s eyes widened, looking at him in even more shock and bewilderment.

Duan Shiyan likes… her?

It can’t be.

How could he like her, someone so ordinary and average, with a bad family background, quiet and introverted?

As if sensing the doubt in her heart, Duan Shiyan lifted his chin, “Didn’t I seriously tell you that night, what you saw before wasn’t real, I never disliked you.”

“The intelligent Dr. Jin must know what the opposite of dislike is?”

He stared intently at her eyes, slowly uttering three words, “It’s like.”

Jinwu’s heart beat even faster.

Some of the emotions she had buried deep in her heart because of betrayal.

Were subtly shaken by him, as if they were awakened again.

She couldn’t help but wonder, the kind of liking Duan Shiyan was talking about…

Was it the kind of liking between lovers, or the kind of pure admiration between classmates?

Jinwu’s mind was a mess, she couldn’t think calmly as usual.

She pursed her lips, which were inexplicably dry, and changed the subject, “It’s your turn, tell me about your likes and habits, I’ll write them down now.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Jinwu felt a little annoyed.

She didn’t know Duan Shiyan at all, did she?

They had interacted in high school for three years, but she didn’t know him at all.

Just as Jinwu was about to say something else.

The man who had just thrown a powerful straight ball suddenly changed his personality, “I won’t tell you.”

Duan Shiyan raised his eyebrows playfully, his tone lazy, “I want you to find out yourself.”

“Jinwu.”

“We agreed that you would watch me carefully.”

He looked straight at her, meeting her eyes.

“Then you can’t break your promise, you have to watch me carefully, don’t get distracted and look at other people.”

“See what I do, what my birthday is, what my zodiac sign is, what my favorite color is, what I like to eat, what I dislike eating, and…”

Duan Shiyan’s tall figure leaned closer to her, his deep brow bone under his deep eyes burned as he looked at her, revealing an endless surge of passion.

“And see if what I said just now about being unilaterally in love with someone is true.”
