Chapter 59 Ah! Don’t rush me.

Shen Qingxuan: “???”

What was running through her head?

“I meant the drawing board in your hands!”

“Ah? Oh!”

“You should say so sooner!” Jiang Yubing handed the drawing board to Shen Qingxuan.

“Bingbing, no!”

The originally haughty Bai Youwei lost her momentum in an instant.

She wanted to rush over and snatch it, but she was already too late.

Shen Qingxuan took it and looked at the little drawing on it.

It actually looked rather unique.

Shen Qingxuan passed it to Zhao Ran and teased him.

“Your wife drew this for you, you two really played wild!”

When Zhao Ran saw the drawing, his face flushed red with anger.

“Hmph! Still want to run?” he snorted coldly.

He soon caught up with Bai Youwei.

“Gently… be gentle!”

A big hand grabbed Bai Youwei by the back of the neck of fate.

“Jiang Yubing, you betrayed me, I won’t let you off.”

She still cursed under her breath before leaving.

…

At nine that night, the darkness looked as deep as ink.

Shen Qingxuan unlocked his phone, and an “OK” emoji from Zhao Ran popped up on the screen.

His heart instantly filled with joy.

Time, place, and people all favored him.

The advantage was his; this round looked secure.

Jiang Yubing sat to the side.

She glanced over at him grinning at his phone, felt full of doubt, and could not help asking, “What makes you so happy?”

Shen Qingxuan quickly hid his unstoppable smile. “Nothing, Bingbing, let’s take a walk!”

On hearing this, Jiang Yubing’s confusion grew deeper.

“It’s so late, where do we walk?”

They had played the whole day.

Her body already felt tired, and she planned to rest.

Shen Qingxuan smiled, tugged her arm gently, and shook it. “Come, let’s just stroll around.”

Jiang Yubing froze for a moment.

She faced Shen Qingxuan’s invitation.

She could not bear to refuse him.

Besides, the idiot husband actually acted spoiled toward her.

Who could resist that!

Jiang Yubing’s heart softened into a puddle at once.

Helpless yet doting, she said, “All right!”

The two held hands and walked slowly along the winding mountain path.

In October in Jiangbei, the summer heat had already dispersed.

The night breeze brushed past and brought a hint of coolness.

Along the way, Shen Qingxuan occasionally told small jokes.

He made Jiang Yubing laugh nonstop, and her fatigue gradually faded.

They walked for an unknown amount of time.

They finally reached the summit of Baiyue Mountain.

Shen Qingxuan pulled Jiang Yubing over and found a rock to sit on.

They looked into the distance, and the city lights twinkled beneath their feet like a dream.

After chatting for a while, Shen Qingxuan let go of her hand and said with feigned helplessness, “Bingbing, I’m going to the restroom.”

Jiang Yubing’s cheeks reddened, and she chided softly, “Go ahead! Honestly.”

“Just wait here for me, don’t wander off!”

After speaking, Shen Qingxuan turned and walked in the direction Zhao Ran specified.

Jiang Yubing watched his departing figure.

She felt that he acted a bit strange tonight.

But she could not say exactly why.

Unable to think it through, she simply raised her head to look at the moon.

Zhao Ran saw Shen Qingxuan coming from afar and curved his lips in a knowing smile.

When Shen Qingxuan approached, he asked in a low voice, “Nervous?”

Shen Qingxuan drew a deep breath and nodded slowly.

It was impossible for him not to be nervous.

Because he feared that Jiang Yubing would not like him.

He took the flowers and a delicately wrapped gift box from Zhao Ran’s hands and was about to leave when Bai Youwei’s crisp voice sounded behind him, “Wait, this.”

Shen Qingxuan turned his head in confusion and asked, “What?”

He saw Bai Youwei holding a small exquisite box.

She opened it gently, and a pair of dazzling rings lay inside, flashing with enchanting light under the moon.

Bai Youwei chuckled softly, “Take it, you can use it.”

With the money Shen Qingxuan gave, it certainly could not be bought.

So she bought it with her own money.

Jiang Yubing was her best friend.

“This…” Shen Qingxuan looked at the rings and hesitated to speak.

Bai Youwei seemed to see through him and explained with a smile, “A free sponsorship, don’t worry.”

“Go on, good luck!”

Zhao Ran echoed beside her.

Shen Qingxuan did not hesitate; at this moment he indeed needed it.

As for the rings’ money, he would repay Bai Youwei later.

Shen Qingxuan thanked them and turned to leave.

When he neared Jiang Yubing, he hid the items behind his back.

A mysterious smile spread across his face, and he prepared to give Jiang Yubing a surprise.

“The moon tonight is so big and round!”

Shen Qingxuan sat beside her and spoke gently.

“Ah?” Jiang Yubing blinked in surprise.

When did the idiot husband come back?

She did not even notice.

Seeing the sorrow on her face, Shen Qingxuan asked softly, “What’s wrong? You don’t look happy.”

Jiang Yubing hesitated a little, then finally spoke softly, “I miss my parents a bit.”

“When I was little, Mother would watch the stars with me and said that in the future…”

Her voice gradually lowered, and sadness appeared in her eyes.

Shen Qingxuan listened quietly to her and said nothing.

“Do you think they are watching me from the sky now?”

Jiang Yubing raised her head and asked in a small voice.

Shen Qingxuan’s heart softened. “They probably are!”

“A family, no matter where, always cares about each other.”

Jiang Yubing nodded lightly and murmured, “A family…”

Shen Qingxuan continued, “Yes, we are a family too.”

Jiang Yubing’s heart trembled fiercely.

Did the idiot husband’s “family” mean what she expected?

Jiang Yubing subconsciously looked up at Shen Qingxuan and found his eyes full of tenderness.

Jiang Yubing froze.

Her mind went blank in an instant, and only her heart beat wildly out of control.

“Thump, thump, thump…”

While she remained dazed, Shen Qingxuan took out the bouquet of roses and the rings hidden behind his back.

“Bingbing, I like you. Will you be my girlfriend?”

His voice trembled slightly, carrying some nervousness and anticipation.

“Ah!”

Jiang Yubing opened her mouth wide in surprise.

She had never dated before.

Looking at Shen Qingxuan’s affectionate gaze, she felt at a loss for a moment.

An awkward atmosphere suddenly hung between them.

When Jiang Yubing made no reply, Shen Qingxuan held up the bouquet and felt uneasy.

It’s over, he might be rejected.

He thought that, if he had known, he would have waited longer; why was he so hasty?

He looked full of regret.

However, the arrow was on the string; it had to be released.

Shen Qingxuan took a deep breath, gathered his courage again, and called softly, “Bingbing?”

“Ah! Don’t rush me.”

Jiang Yubing seemed suddenly awakened and hurriedly said, “Let me calm down.”

As soon as she spoke, she feared disappointing Shen Qingxuan and quickly added, “I’m not rejecting you, I just…”

She was simply too surprised and too shocked.

She still did not know how to respond to this sudden confession.

Hearing this, Shen Qingxuan felt his dangling heart land at once, and a faint smile curled on his lips.

He thought he was about to be rejected.

It turned out that Bingbing was shy.

Looking at Jiang Yubing’s adorably flushed face, Shen Qingxuan felt as if his heart had been filled with honey, sweet and warm.

He could not help pulling out his phone and opening the camera.

“Click!” With a soft sound, the image froze.

He saved Jiang Yubing’s shy expression forever.

“You secretly photographed me.”

Jiang Yubing felt both shy and angry.

Her voice scolded him, yet it could not hide the traces of sweetness.
