Help! The Seductive Villain Chases Me Everyday to Expose My Other Identities!-Chapter 161 - Aren’t You Going to Take Responsibility For Me?

161 Aren’t You Going to Take Responsibility For Me?

At night.

Chu Jinchen and Shi Ran met at an open-air restaurant.

Shi Ran, under the guidance of the waiter, passed through the long corridor and walked forward where the fragrance of flowers wafted into their noses.

Two waiters stood on both sides on the white embossed doors.

!!

When Shi Ran stepped in, the fragrance of the flowers grew even stronger.

Their table was situated on the terrace that was decorated with flowers at the edges and vines on the walls.

Looking up, the stars flickered.

There were more stars tonight than before, and the starry sky was romantic.

The corners of Shi Ran’s mouth slowly curled up under the mask.

She did not sit down directly. Instead, she walked to the edge and looked at the delicate flowers, her eyes unconsciously softening.

“Hum—”

The drone ahead sounded.

Shi Ran looked up and saw the drone hovering in front of her.

There was a long box hanging on it.

She raised her eyebrows.

She reached out and took down the box

The drone then flew away.

At that moment, Shi Ran was looking around and did not see Chu Jinchen.

What was he doing?

Shi Ran was puzzled.

She opened the box and saw a silver-white necklace lying inside. The pendant was a small and cute whale, and the diamonds on it were dazzling.

There was a conspicuous piece of paper under the lid of the box.

She picked it up and read it.

Congratulations on your successful filming.

Her lips curled up.

She originally thought that the flowers from last night were already a congratulatory gift. She did not expect Chu Jinchen to prepare this.

Then, a melodious tune slowly sounded.

Shi Ran turned around.

Chu Jinchen was wearing a khaki V-neck shirt and black pants. He stood opposite her with his hands behind his back.

Shi Ran’s eyes curved when she met Chu Jinchen’s deep black eyes.

Chu Jinchen strolled forward with slow steps.

When he stood in front of her, his gaze landed on the necklace in her hand. “Do you like it?”

“Yes.” She nodded.

“May I help you put it on?” Chu Jinchen asked in a low voice.

“Sure.”

“Then help me hold this first.”

“Huh?” She looked up.

Their eyes met.

In the next second, Chu Jinchen stretched out his hand behind his back and a handful of red roses came into view. They were even dotted with transparent water droplets.

Shi Ran lowered her eyes, which were instantly filled with red.

“Is this also a congratulatory gift?” she asked with a smile in her eyes.

“Yesterday’s was,” Chu Jinchen said softly.

“Then what about today’s?”

“Today…” Chu Jinchen paused.

His originally casual eyes gradually became serious, tainted with a hint of gentleness.

“It’s a special day for me,” he began.

Shi Ran listened quietly and did not interrupt him.

“Actually, before I met you, I always thought that I wouldn’t get married. Many people pursue passionate love and sincere feelings, but I’ve never felt that way.

To me, the so-called love and marriage are not as satisfying as racing. I can’t even understand why people are ok with being tied down by feelings.

But after meeting you, I suddenly understood. It turns out that liking someone will really affect one’s thoughts. Emotions and rationality can’t coexist and there will only be one person in your eyes and heart.

In my life, work has occupied a large part of my life. I enjoy the feeling of strategizing on the business field and defeating my opponents.

But after meeting you, I realized that no matter how big the contract I negotiated is and how strong my opponents were, none of them satisfied me as much as seeing you.”

Chu Jinchen’s voice was gentle, like the evening breeze.

Meeting Shi Ran’s slightly stunned eyes, Chu Jinchen chuckled. “I said that I would only confess after settling everything. I couldn’t wait, so I took an extreme approach.

...

My engagement with Wen Yufei has been annulled so the current me has the right to say those words to you.”

Shi Ran’s long eyelashes fluttered.

Was Chu Jinchen… confessing?

“But I don’t want to force you, and I don’t want you to be troubled, so…”

Shi Ran looked up.

Chu Jinchen’s thin lips parted slightly. “Do you want me to continue?”

Shi Ran originally thought that Chu Jinchen would confess next, but she did not expect him to leave the choice to her.

Indeed, she was not completely prepared.

She originally thought that tonight was just an ordinary dinner.

However, until now, with the appearance of the drone, everything Chu Jinchen said had exceeded her expectations.

She looked at Chu Jinchen, her heart surging.

...

She was a little slow on emotions, but she knew her heart well.

Did she like Chu Jinchen?

Their past interactions flashed through her mind.

Everything felt like yesterday.

Chu Jinchen protected her without any reason and approached her again and again.

Her long eyelashes drooped, casting a shadow under her eyes.

Chu Jinchen did not say anything to disturb her thoughts.

Actually, he was not confident.

However, he was already prepared.

No matter what answer she was going to give, it would not affect his feelings.

He would never give up on Shi Ran.

Seconds ticked by.

Shi Ran took a deep breath, her eyes even brighter than the stars in the sky.

She took off her mask and tilted her head with a smile. “I’m quite curious about what you want to say next.”

Chu Jinchen’s eyes were filled with smiles.

He said in a low voice, “I like you.”

Shi Ran’s heart throbbed.

“I can’t tell when it started. I only approached you in the beginning to take revenge on you. You know that I’ve always been a petty person.

But before I could do anything, I became curious about you.”

He chuckled. “Other people say that curiosity is the beginning of a fall. In the past, I thought it was nonsense, but now, I’ve been slapped in the face by reality.

Do you remember the first time we met?” he asked.

The scene of the two of them meeting for the first time flashed across her mind.

It sure was intense.

“So…” Chu Jinchen’s voice was low and hoarse, “Aren’t you going to be responsible for me?”

Shi Ran suddenly looked up and narrowed her eyes. “I remember that you too had seen everything the first time we met.”

The two of them were at most even.

“Then I’ll be responsible for you,” Chu Jinchen teased.

“We’re equal now since we’ve seen each other.”

“Then we’ll be responsible for each other,” Chu Jinchen said seriously.

She was amused by his shamelessness. “Has anyone ever said that you’re shameless?”

Chu Jinchen thought about it carefully for a while with a serious expression. “You’re the first.”

“Is that so?” Shi Ran raised her eyebrows.

She raised her red lips and said in a seductive voice, “Then will I be your first girlfriend too?”

“Of course,” Chu Jinchen replied without hesitation.

In the next second, he froze.

His face that was originally pretending to be calm suddenly changed.

“You… you mean?” he asked uncertainly. 𝘧𝔯𝑒𝒆𝓌𝘦𝘣𝓷𝘰ѵ𝑒𝘭. 𝐜oｍ

A cool breeze blew, and soothing music was still playing.

However, it could not hide his chaotic heartbeat.

Although he was nervous when he confessed, he was not flustered.

But at this moment…

“If we get together, will people say that I’ve found a sugar daddy?” Shi Ran asked with a smile.

“No, because you’ll be a sugar mummy too.”

“It seems to be a good proposal.” Shi Ran pretended to think.

“What’s mine is yours, and I’m also yours, so aren’t you going to consider it, Miss Shi?” Chu Jinchen’s hands tightened at his sides, and his expression returned to its original calmness.

“My answer is already very obvious.” Shi Ran took a step forward and tiptoed, her red lips landing on Chu Jinchen’s.

Just like that, their lips touched, and their hearts pounded deafeningly.
