Chapter 378 - 357: First Update
Zheng Nianru looked at the youth, having encountered such situations more than a few times. Among the young men sent her way, some could and some couldn’t resist temptation, seeking fame, status, or, like fools, nothing at all.
Just like Yin He before her eyes.
"What am I willing to do?" Zheng Nianru knew what the youth meant, but still deliberately asked, tilting her head up, her chin and neck forming an elegant curve, her skin translucent and lit by candlelight.
The youth’s lips trembled, red as flames, bright and dripping.
"Are you willing to marry him?" The youth dared not ask anything else; this wasn’t what he wanted to ask, but he was afraid any other question wouldn’t yield the answer he sought.
The matter with Old Man Can wasn’t settled yet, and even if it were, he didn’t have much confidence.
"Does willingness make any difference? After all, this is not something I can decide on my own." Zheng Nianru’s tone was playful, yet she noticed a flash of light in the youth’s eyes, as if he had received a remarkable answer.
"So, you are unwilling, right?" That meant she didn’t like Zong Yunqian; how could he be so foolish, unable to see this for so many days?
Zheng Nianru watched the youth, much like one might amuse themselves with a hamster in a cage, enjoying the pleasure of control. She didn’t respond but continued to look at the youth with meaningful eyes.
Whether to keep the youth by her side, she wasn’t so adamant. It was like the casually placed treasures and antiques in the room, played with when in the mood, left quietly lying there otherwise.
The youth seemed to take her silence for affirmation; even his tone was hasty.
