Chapter 29

The world seemed to fall silent.

Only the sound of his own heart pounding like a raging storm could be heard.

If there were a heart rate monitor present, his reading would probably be soaring to 130.

Duan Shiyan lowered his gaze, looking at Jinwu.

His long eyelashes fluttered, his Adam’s apple bobbed, and a faint blush seemed to linger at the corners of his eyes.

After a long moment, Duan Shiyan finally found his voice, “I’m your leading man?”

His voice was a bit hoarse and soft, as if afraid that this was just a dream he had imagined.

Jinwu raised her gaze, surprised by his reaction.

What was wrong with him?

He seemed to react strongly to that term, could it be that he didn’t like it?

“Didn’t you say I was your leading lady?”

Even though she knew this was just a partnership, Jinwu’s cheeks still flushed inexplicably, “So you’re my leading man now.”

Ten years.

He had never dared to dream that one day he would hear those words from her lips.

Even if for her, it was just a partnership, a formality.

But it was enough to make his heart pound, his eyes blush, and his lips curl up uncontrollably.

“Jinwu.”

Duan Shiyan looked at her deeply, as if transcending time and space, overlapping with the sixteen-year-old boy, his husky voice filled with countless obsessions and hopes, “I want to hear that sentence again.”

Such a strange request.

Jinwu met his burning gaze, her heart skipped a beat as if it had been scorched, and she couldn’t help but repeat softly, “You’re my leading man now.”

A gentle breeze blew through the dense treetops beside them, making a distinct rustling sound.

At that moment, Duan Shiyan’s heartbeat was deafening once again.

“So, it’s settled then.”

His throat bobbed, his voice hoarse, “I’ve memorized it for life, you can’t just take it back, otherwise…”

As if he didn’t know what to do with her, he finally surrendered, burying his head in her neck, grumbling, “Otherwise, I’ll just cry to you.”

This threat didn’t sound very intimidating.

It was even a little cute.

Jinwu couldn’t help but smile slightly.

Just as she was about to tease him for once,

She saw his eyes, tinged with a faint blush, sparkling brightly, his entire face brimming with a radiant, joyful smile.

“Jinwu, I’m really happy right now.”

“I’m so happy I’m about to go crazy.”

At this time, not only did Duan Shiyan’s Moments explode, but the entire Duan family was blown apart by a sharp blast.

Duan Shiyan actually got married without saying a word!?

Such a person, who never got close to women, was arrogant, unrestrained, and free-spirited, and he just got married like that!?

“Oh my god! Oh my god! Quick, someone save my phone! It’s malfunctioning O(≧口≦)Ｏ”

The old lady, wearing a trendy streetwear hoodie, was holding a plain chicken leg in her mouth and running out in a panic, holding her phone high, “Is it because I’m using it wrong? Otherwise, why would I see this bastard showing off his… love! Is this possible? Ah! This must be a new kind of scam!”

And what’s with this ID name?

What do you mean “Your Dear Husband”… Is this really the text that her annoying grandson would type?

The butler, who was chasing after her, looked helpless, “Madam, the doctor just said yesterday that you should eat less takeout, especially fried chicken…”

The old lady, who was so engrossed in the gossip that she forgot to hide her beloved plain chicken leg, felt guilty for a second, then stubbornly and confidently hummed, “Is fried chicken important now? No, the important thing is that my grandson, who has been single for a thousand years, secretly got married without telling us! We don’t even know who the other party is!”

Ever since Duan Shiyan made his announcement, the threshold of the Duan family’s home had been almost trampled down.

The large, exquisite living room was already crowded with people, all of them successfully blown up by his one Moments post.

Shen Que opened WeChat for the NNNth time, staring at the picture, his pupils trembling, his face full of disbelief, “This isn’t Photoshopped, is it? My brother, with his princess temperament, actually has a girl who likes him? Woah! Could he have tricked her?”

The second uncle calmly said, “I think it’s real. With Xiao Yan’s personality, do you think he could Photoshop this girl to look so good? He’d be lucky if he didn’t Photoshop her into an alien.”

Yu Sang, sitting next to him, commented with a click of her tongue, “Look at my nephew, he’s smiling with a heart full of spring, like a little girl in love. I’ve never seen him show all eight of his teeth… wait!”

Suddenly, she realized something.

She bounced up like a spring, snatching Shen Que’s phone, staring intently at the screen, her eyes almost glued to it.

Ssh!

She felt like she recognized this beauty…

Yu Sang: Staring—

Yu Sang: !!!

A memory suddenly flashed through her mind like an electric current, she took a deep breath, excitedly slapping her thigh, “Damn it!!! Isn’t this the angel?!”

Last month at the law firm’s gathering, she accidentally ate the wrong thing, which caused her to have a stomach ache.

As a result, there was a car accident nearby, and the emergency room at the hospital was bustling.

As she curled up in a chair, in pain and about to see her great-grandmother, a gentle female voice suddenly rang out, “Are you okay? Do you need help?”

Yu Sang weakly raised her head.

She saw a girl in a white coat, super beautiful, radiating an aura of trustworthiness and professionalism, reaching out to help her.

Yu Sang: (????????????????????)

At that moment.

It was like she saw a sacred white light shining down, countless white doves flapping their wings.

A beautiful angel with outstretched arms descended from heaven, and it was as if she could hear a chorus of male and female sopranos singing Hallelujah.

“It’s really Dr. Jin! The angel who saved my life!”

Yu Sang shook Shen Que’s phone, going crazy and howling, “Ahhhhh! Damn it! I haven’t even had a chance to make a move, and you, Duan Shiyan, you dare to marry my angel without a word? Ah!!!!!!!! I’m at war with you!!!!!!!!!”

Shen Que: “…”

Okay, another one went crazy.

“Oh As expected of my child, he truly has my style.”

Yu Jiu leaned lazily against the man beside her, her beautiful peach blossom eyes curving, “Perseverance, taking advantage of the situation, resisting deception, and…”

She looked at the girl in the photo, raising an eyebrow, a deep smile on her face, “And long-planned.”
