“Xiaotao, I’m already very lucky to have met you.” Feng Jing looked at the girl sitting opposite him. He couldn’t seem to take his eyes off her.
Yin Tao was dumbfounded by Feng Jing’s sudden words. What Fu Wen said to her the day before came to her mind again, and Yin Tao began to suspect if Feng Jing had really fallen for her.
“Brother Feng, I’m not as good as you make me out to be. You’re overstating it.”
Feng Jing paused for a few seconds and seemed to have made a decision. He said to Yin Tao sincerely, “I know that the time and place might not be suitable, but I like you as much as the others.”
Yin Tao’s mind was racing. She tried to understand Feng Jing’s words, but she was still not sure if Feng Jing was confessing to her.
“Xiaotao, I like you. I don’t know when it started, but 1 look forward to every meeting with you and cherish every second I spend with you.”
Yin Tao felt her pupils shrink a little. No matter how slow she was, she could tell that Feng Jing was confessing to her.
“Brother Feng, I actually…”
“There’s no hurry to give me an answer. I like you and 1 want to pursue you.” Feng Jing interrupted Yin Tao when he saw her frown.
In Feng Jing’s opinion, it was indeed not the time to fall in love. However, if he left Yin Tao alone, Feng Jing was worried that he would really let her slip. That kind of regret seemed to be something he couldn’t bear.
Yin Tao had wanted to say that she didn’t have any intention of falling in love, but after Feng Jing said this, she couldn’t reject him anymore.
“Brother Feng, haven’t you always said that you aren’t looking to start a relationship?”
Yin Tao didn’t understand what went wrong. Feng Jing should have been focused on solving his brother’s case, and nothing should have distracted him. But the way he was looking at her now was quite the opposite.
“I hate being matchmade, and 1 also don’t like being tied down.” Feng Jing paused for a moment before looking at Yin Tao and continuing, “But after meeting you, I have slowly changed my thinking.”
If not for the fact that there were no supernatural incidents in the original novel, Yin Tao would have suspected that the Feng Jing in front of her was a ghost. She would never have imagined that Feng Jing would say such straightforward words one day.
“I understand, Brother Feng. I’ll think about it carefully.”
Yin Tao didn’t know how to answer Feng Jing without affecting their relationship in the future. However, it helped that Feng Jing had very sensibly given her some time to consider. Otherwise, Yin Tao really didn’t know how to face him.
The atmosphere over the meal was extremely awkward. Yin Tao didn’t know if it was her imagination, but after Feng Jing confessed to her, even the way he looked at her seemed to have become more fervent.
Yin Tao was already feeling uneasy in her heart. Now that Feng Jing was staring at her, she was so nervous that she couldn’t even hold her chopsticks properly.
“What’s wrong, Xiaotao? Is the food not to your liking?” Feng Jing noticed that Yin Tao’s didn’t look too good and asked her with concern.
“No, it’s fine. I’m fine.” Yin Tao glanced at Feng Jing sadly. Didn’t he know what was wrong with her?
“Xiaotao, you don’t have to feel pressured. If my love has burdened you, you can tell me directly. I’m not the kind of person who will pester you. You don’t have to be afraid.”
Feng Jing’s tone was low and calm, causing Yin Tao to actually detect a trace of desolation. She hurriedly waved her hand and explained, “No, Brother Feng, don’t misunderstand. I’m just not used to it for a moment. I really don’t mean anything else.”
“If someone you disliked confesses to you, it will indeed cause a burden in your heart. 1 know this feeling the best.” Feng Jing lowered his eyes and looked a little innocent, as if he was waiting for Yin Tao’s judgment.
“Brother Feng, I really don’t dislike you!” Yin Tao blurted out without thinking. Only when she saw the smile in Feng Jing’s eyes did she realize the awkwardness of her situation.
Yin Tao lowered her head and continued eating. She felt that she had been schemed against. Although Feng Jing looked taciturn, his intelligence and schemes were not inferior to hers.
Yin Tao felt deflated when they returned to the Feng family. Feng Jing, on the other hand, was in a rare good mood. However, he immediately pulled a long face when he saw the few uninvited guests at home.
“All Jing, come and let me take a look at you. It has been a long time since I last saw you.” An old man in a black Chinese tunic suit greeted Feng Jing with a smile. He didn’t cast his eyes on Yin Tao at all..
