Gong Lingqian looked at An Xingchen dotingly and pinched the tip of his nose: "I'll keep the bowl in the kitchen. Tomorrow, a servant will come over to take care of it."

With that, Gong Lingqian unquestionably packed the tableware together and brought it into the kitchen.

"Let's go. Didn't we say to go and eat?" Let's go for a walk in the back garden. "

Just as Gong Lingqian finished speaking, the big palm carrying a burning hot temperature grabbed onto An Xingchen's small hand and pulled An Xingchen towards the garden.

The back garden occupied a huge area of land, and there was a winding pebble path on the ground. On both sides of the path, there were all sorts of luxuriant-purple flowers, to the point that An Xingchen couldn't even call for a variety of flowers.

Being surrounded by flowers was much more beautiful than being on the balcony.

In addition, the air in the garden was filled with the faint fragrance of flowers, making people feel extremely comfortable.

There was a large field of flowers, and the flowers were blooming and flourishing. The leaves were neatly trimmed and well tended. It was clear that there was someone in charge here.

There was a tree beside the flower garden that An Xingchen couldn't call out on every ten steps, there was even a chair placed under the shade of the tree.

The sky had completely darkened by now, and the warm orange light from the street lamps shone down, adding a sense of warmth to the whiteness.

The night was fine, the sky black with stars.

Everything was beautiful like a fairy tale.

Looking at the zigzagging cobblestone path in front of him, for a moment, An Xingchen even thought in her heart that it would be great if she could keep walking like this while holding onto Gong Lingqian's hand, all the way until their hair turned white.

Thinking about that, An Xingchen's heart trembled. The big hand that was holding Gong Lingqian subconsciously tightened a bit, and his ten fingers held tightly onto Gong Lingqian's slender fingers.

Gong Lingqian calmly looked down at An Xingchen's hands that were clasped tightly together with his, and the corner of his mouth bent slightly, but in an instant, Gong Lingqian guessed what An Xingchen was thinking, and a usually deep and pleasant voice that was filled with a trace of gentleness slowly spoke: "An Xingchen, do you know, once I hold your hand, I will not let go."

After saying that, Gong Lingqian's voice paused, then he glared at An Xingchen with an unquestionable gaze: "Also, no matter what happens, you are not allowed to let go of my hand, understand?"

's heart was filled with sweetness, his entire heart seemed to be submerged in comfortable warm water. Looking at the overbearing and arrogant yet delicate Gong Lingqian, the smile on An Xingchen's face grew even wider, and she nodded towards Gong Lingqian with utmost seriousness: "Mn, I won't ever let go of him again in this life."

The moment An Xingchen's words fell, under the pure white moonlight, Gong Lingqian lowered his head, grabbed An Xingchen's chin, and deeply kissed it.

A possessive kiss, as if swearing sovereignty, but also as if sealing this promise.

The kiss was so quick and fierce that An Xingchen and Gong Lingqian's breathing became a mess.

When An Xingchen was almost out of breath from kissing, Gong Lingqian smiled, and withdrew his red and swollen lips from being kissed with satisfaction.

Being stared at in such a manner by Gong Lingqian, An Xingchen's small face flushed red.

His legs were weak to the point that he could not even stand, if not for Gong Lingqian's strong and strong arms grabbing onto An Xingchen's waist, An Xingchen's legs would have probably fallen to the ground.

"Since you've overwritten your authority, you can't go back on your words!" Gong Lingqian's tone was extremely tyrannical, as if he was afraid that An Xingchen would go back on her words. He even pinched the tip of An Xingchen's nose and spoke word by word fiercely, "An Xingchen! From today onwards, you can only love Gong Lingqian alone! Do you understand? "

Seeing Gong Lingqian's mischievous look, the smile on An Xingchen's lips suddenly deepened.

Gong Lingqian was really childish and cute, but she really liked loving Gong Lingqian.

In An Xingchen's twenty-two years of life, she had never loved someone as deeply as she did now. This kind of love was too intense, and would only happen once in her entire life, never once in her life, and would probably never happen again.

Thinking of this, An Xingchen released the fingers that were tightly holding onto Gong Lingqian, opened his arms, and leaned into Gong Lingqian's warm embrace, tightly hugging Gong Lingqian's waist.

Due to his poor height, An Xingchen's ears were right next to Gong Lingqian's heart. She could clearly hear Gong Lingqian's heartbeat.

An Xingchen had always had a thin face, and would usually be embarrassed to say anything about love, but at this moment, An Xingchen suddenly had courage, holding onto Gong Lingqian tightly, she spoke with determination and seriousness: "Gong Lingqian, I love you, and I will always love you."

An Xingchen had never said such a thing before, but the moment she said it, even he felt a little embarrassed. Shamefully, she quickly buried her face in Gong Lingqian's chest.

Although An Xingchen's words just now were loud, in this silent night, each and every word clearly fell into Gong Lingqian's ears.

This was the first time Gong Lingqian had directly said that he loved him. It was to the extent that Gong Lingqian was like a fool who had just confessed to the girl he liked a long time ago.

An Xingchen, who had just finished his confession and was feeling embarrassed, did not receive a response from Gong Lingqian even after a long while.

A girl's mind was originally meticulous to begin with, and this small detail instantly caused An Xingchen to be unable to refrain from thinking about it …

Ugh … Was Gong Lingqian frightened by her confession just now?

Or could it be that Gong Lingqian was just joking with her, and didn't take her words to heart?

Thinking about this, An Xingchen's heart dropped, and she almost fell into the ice hole.

An Xingchen had also forgotten the shame from the confession earlier. She couldn't help but raise her face, wanting to see Gong Lingqian's expression now.

The result was that when he had just raised his head, he didn't even have time to clearly see Gong Lingqian's expression, when he saw his own body suddenly being tightly hugged by Gong Lingqian's powerful arm. In the next second, before An Xingchen could even react to what had happened, she felt her entire body become light.

The scenery in front of him began to spin.

"Ahh …" Both of his hands were tightly wrapped around Gong Lingqian's neck, only then did he realize that Gong Lingqian was holding her whole body, and was walking in circles on the spot.
