As he got to the end, his breathing trembled a little.

He got really scared today; he was afraid that he would never get another chance.

He was afraid that Gu Youchen really liked Ning Qingqing, and that Ning Qingqing was really moved by Gu Youchen.

He was afraid that the longer he waited, the closer he was to losing everything!

“Qingqing, we—”

However, before Shen Zhiqian finished speaking, there was a sound of tires rubbing against the ground, and immediately after that, Gu Youchen quickly got out of the driver’s seat and strode over.

“Qingqing, are you okay?” Gu Youchen looked at Ning Qingqing.

Ning Qingqing shook her head, “It’s okay.”

She had just received a lot of information suddenly, and she still couldn’t emotionally process for the time being.

Seeing her like this, Gu Youchen froze, he didn’t know if Ning Qingqing was shaken.

But he couldn’t let go.

He stretched out his hand to hold Ning Qingqing’s hand, and said softly, “Let’s go home.”

Only the heavens knew that his heart was shaking, he was afraid that she would refuse.

“En, let’s go home.” In the next second, Ning Qingqing held Gu Youchen’s hand and washed away all his insecurities!

Shen Zhiqian could only watch Ning Qingqing and Gu Youchen leave.

He felt his breathing become painful, the corners of his eyes turned red, and there was obvious fragility at the bottom of his eyes: “Qingqing.”

After hearing his words, Ning Qingqing realized something.

She stopped in her tracks and said to Gu Youchen beside her, “Youchen, wait for me.”

The hand Gu Youchen used to hold hers tightened. For the first time, he revealed his emotions, “Qingqing, don’t talk to him, okay?”

Ning Qingqing nodded, so didn’t continue to go over, and said from five meters away, “Mr. Shen, I sympathize with what you have shared, but I’m sorry, I don’t accept your proposal; I won’t leave him.”

Shen Zhiqian’s hands hanging by his sides tightened, and he stared blankly at Ning Qingqing and Gu Youchen getting into the car while holding hands.

It was dark, and their car disappeared from his sight.

Inside the car, Ning Qingqing’s hand was still being held by Gu Youchen and he did not let go.

She glanced at the man beside her. It seemed that he was still the same as usual, but she clearly felt that he revealed a trace of fragility just now.

“Youchen, he just told me some things about his mother and the Gu family.” Ning Qingqing took the initiative to confess, “He explained that he didn’t consider getting married because of family reasons.”

Gu Youchen nodded, “En, Qingqing, I believe you.”

He was just lacking confidence in himself.

The him who appeared in front of her years ago was just a vague shadow in her memory. If she hadn’t seen that photo, she might have never remembered that moment in her life.

But for him, she had been on his mind for ten years.

No matter how confident and calm he was in the business field, whenever he met her, his pride disappeared and he became anxious because he was always afraid that everything was just his wishful dream, and that one day everything would return to its original state!

Ning Qingqing carefully looked at the man beside her. They had been together for a week now, and she gradually got to know him better.

At this moment, Ning Qingqing clearly felt that Gu Youchen felt a little distressed.

She then explained, “My relationship with him is already in the past. Learning of this matter today just unties a knot in my heart. It makes me feel that I am not actually that bad. It was not because I was not good that he didn’t want to marry me, but his own issues.”

Just as she spoke up to here, the man beside her interrupted her: “Qingqing, I have already told you that you are really good.”

Ning Qingqing raised her eyes, her eyes filled with disbelief.

Gu Youchen’s fingers passed through hers, “Genuinely really good, that’s why after getting married, I’m afraid of losing you.”

The atmosphere seemed to suddenly quiet down, and Ning Qingqing heard her heart beat a little faster.

She looked at Gu Youchen, her lips moved, but she didn’t know what to say.

As if aware of the sudden stillness in the air, Gu Youchen chuckled softly, “Qingqing, there is no need to feel pressure, everyone around me knows that we are together, I am serious, of course, I am afraid of being dumped by you.”

His tone became relaxed, and Ning Qingqing also heaved a sigh of relief.

She nodded and assured him earnestly, “I will also work hard to manage our marriage and will not give up easily.”

Unless there were some fundamental issues…

But Ning Qingqing glanced at Gu Youchen and had a feeling that he was not the type to make ethical errors.

Sure enough, in the next second, Gu Youchen said, “Don’t worry, Qingqing, I will not violate my principles. If there are any small mistakes, please tell me as soon as possible, and I will correct them.”

The atmosphere relaxed. Gu Youchen asked about the situation with Ning Qingqing’s colleagues and talked about what would happen after she returned to work, and soon they arrived at Gu Youchen’s apartment.

The two parked the car and went up together. Ning Qingqing was walking in front and pressed the fingerprint sensor first.

However, she didn’t know what happened with the fingerprint register today because she failed to unlock the door after pressing it twice.

She was just about to enter the password when the man behind her had already reached out and put his fingerprint on the sensor.

Ning Qingqing felt his warm and firm body suddenly pressing against her back; she was still in front of the emergency exit when Gu Youchen leaned over her, she was almost half-embraced by him from behind!

“Ding–“

There was a sound of the machine opening the lock, but it took a push to open the door.

Ning Qingqing still couldn’t react to the sudden ambiguity, and Gu Youchen behind her didn’t make a move either.

The atmosphere suddenly began to heat up, and an inexplicable feeling began to brew.

Ning Qingqing heard Gu Youchen calling her from behind: “Qingqing.” His voice was deeper than usual.

She turned her head subconsciously.

And just at this moment, the motion sensor light outside suddenly went out, and her vision went completely dark.

Time suddenly slowed down, and Ning Qingqing felt a presence getting closer.

In the next second, there was a warm touch on the side of her face.

Supple and slightly moist.

Accompanied by the cold pine fragrance she was already familiar with; it invaded her senses.

Ning Qingqing couldn’t help but hold her breath, and clenched her fingers tightly.

Gu Youchen kissed her face, and whispered in her ear, “Qingqing, the one you gave me at the club was not quite up to standard, it disappeared before I could even feel it.”
