But what was the use of her? As long as she had no money and no power, there was nothing she could do to help him! Could it be … Did he want her to devote her life to him …

Yin Yao was taken aback by her own thoughts. She raised her head to glance at Jiang Chen before retracting her gaze, finding her actions laughable.

Judging from Jiang Chen's demeanor, he must have seen plenty of beauties in the past. How could he dare to dream of such a thing? Even if it was true, it could still be counted as her reaching the top.

"No reason." Jiang Chen's magnetic voice rang out as he calmly glanced at Yin Yao, as if he had seen through her thoughts. He then added, "Don't think too much into it."

Yin Yao's face reddened, and she nodded. He was so smart, it was as if he was a mind-reader. She didn't even dare to have any random thoughts.

Jiang Chen walked forward, while Yin Yao followed beside him. The two of them walked side by side, and before them was a sea of people. Yet, they walked side by side, as if the beauty of the world had stopped at this moment.

Yin Yao's long hair flowed down to her waist, fluttering in the wind. Her appearance had always been exquisite, but now that she was meticulously dressed up, it shocked everyone. Quite a few people's eyes landed on her.

However, no one dared to go up and strike up a conversation because Jiang Chen, who was standing next to Yin Yao, exuded a domineering aura. Although his expression was indifferent, no one dared to offend him.

And when the two of them stood together, it really made people think of one word — golden couple.

Feeling everyone's gaze on her, Yin Yao felt a little uncomfortable. She unconsciously approached Jiang Chen, who held her hand.

Yin Yao shuddered as she looked at Jiang Chen holding her hand in disbelief. That hand was white and delicate, and she hesitated for a moment. Should she let him hold her hand or let him hold it?

Feeling the warmth radiating from the palm, Yin Yao felt her cheeks heat up. Even her steps were a blur, her mind a blank. She allowed Jiang Chen to lead her as she walked.

When she finally regained her senses, she noticed that Jiang Chen had brought her to the square. The square was very big and many people were walking around chatting. There were many pigeons in the center of the square, and some people were feeding her.

Jiang Chen led Yin Yao through the center of the square. The pigeons took off one after another. Yin Yao looked at them in surprise, feeling an unprecedented sense of relaxation.

She had not seen a flock of flying pigeons for a long time. The poverty of her family left her with no time to admire it.

The sudden death of her father and her mother's illness that night made her unable to recover from it. It was like a heavy boulder was pressing down on her tender shoulders.

Jiang Chen led her to a wooden chair and sat on it. Yin Yao sat beside him, listening to the singers' singing.

The artist was a bearded man with a voice that could not help but listen to a Yukri singing a moving love song.

Yin Yao couldn't help but listen to the song, not noticing Jiang Chen who was looking at her seriously. In Jiang Chen's eyes, Yin Yao was an inexperienced young lady with a simple and innocent personality.

At this moment, she was curiously looking at a person not far away. Her pair of black and white eyes were as clear as a lake, so clear that the bottom could be seen.

The corner of her lips curled up slightly in delight. Her freedom had captivated Jiang Chen's eyes, and he couldn't help but look at her without being able to shift his gaze away.

After looking for a long time, Yin Yao finally noticed Jiang Chen's handsome face almost touching hers when she turned her head to the side.

Yin Yao's face instantly turned red. She shyly turned her face to the right and lowered her head to look at her dress. Jiang Chen found her adorable and couldn't help but laugh.

"Am I ugly?" Jiang Chen quipped. Unexpectedly, Yin Yao took this to heart. She shook her head seriously. "No." She turned her head and saw Jiang Chen's smiling eyes and slightly curved lips. It was only then that she realized he was joking with her.

It made her so ashamed and angry that she could not help pouting and sulking without saying a word. Jiang Chen saw the furious Yin Yao. He reached out his hand and ruffled her hair.

Yin Yao's hair was black and silky smooth as she spoke through the gaps between Jiang Chen's fingers. Yin Yao felt Jiang Chen's movements and lowered her head even more. However, she could not deny her own heart palpitating.

For the first time, she realized that her heart was beating so fast, her breathing was so rapid, her face could be so hot, and the culprit who had caused all this was laughing at her!

"Don't be angry." Jiang Chen's voice was gentle, as comfortable as the spring sun. His tone sounded like he was trying to coax someone. Yin Yao wanted to get angry, but she couldn't.

"I'm not angry." Yin Yao's voice was soft and sweet like cotton candy.

"Yes." Jiang Chen nodded and retracted his hand. He leaned back in his chair, his posture natural and graceful.

The two fell silent for a moment before Jiang Chen finally broke the silence.

"Have you ever thought about getting married?" His expression was calm and unperturbed, not like someone who would ask such a question.

Yin Yao nodded honestly. "Of course. Every girl must have thought about it." Thinking of this, she couldn't help but bitterly smile. What was the point in wanting more? Her future husband still didn't know where he was.

"Then what was the wedding you were looking forward to?" Jiang Chen continued asking. This time, his eyes were filled with deep thought, and even his attitude had become a lot more serious.

Yin Yao didn't notice these subtle changes. Instead, she began to think about them. What would the wedding she was looking forward to look like?

She hoped that she could marry someone she loved in her wedding dress, and with her mother's blessing, they would step onto the red carpet together and answer the Don's question with certainty: "I will." Then he put the ring on his finger and married successfully.

She shared this thought with Jiang Chen. Jiang Chen was dazed for a moment. He had not expected her request to be so simple. He had expected her to say a grand wedding in Bali.

This was because he had heard many of his female companions talking about their wishes for the wedding, and even more insinuating. As for Yin Yao, all she needed was the blessings of her family, the witness of her godfather, a wedding dress and a ring.

He couldn't help but recall the first time he saw her. She was in a sorry state, but her stubborn little face caused his heart to ache with pity.

He had seen how cold the world was, yet when he saw a young girl try her best to be strong while being humiliated by others, he was emotionally moved.

"Who do you want your husband to be?" Jiang Chen continued asking.
