He swore that he was just following what she said. It was a serious, genuine question without any impure intentions hidden behind it.
But did that matter? No!!
Chen Jinyao: “…”
Chen Jinyao: “???”
She dropped his hand, her face reverting back to its expressionless state. The ambiguity that had rose between them completely dissipated.

Be open and honest, and everything will go smoothly in a good direction.
This was something both Yan Cheng and Chen Jinyao believed in.
But who would’ve thought that because of this incident, Chen Jinyao would end up changing her mind before the day was even over?
The pair soon arrived at the Huaijing River, where signs of spring were already beginning to sprout from the surrounding banks. It wouldn’t be long before the scenery became one of thriving green grass and flying warbles.
It was eight o’clock. At this time, the riverside was a world of lovers. Part of the reason was probably due to it being the weekend, since people were more likely to go out with their loved ones when they weren’t busy working or studying.
Although it would be an exaggeration to call it a crowd, the number of people at the river was enough to dissuade anyone from continuing down the path.
This included Yan Cheng and Chen Jinyao, who turned around and headed down a different path.
The street lamps were old-fashioned but classical, illuminating the night ever so slightly with their dim glow.
There were less pedestrians walking along this path. A gust of wind drew a trail of leaves around their feet. Walking under the moon like this was, in a way, more romantic than watching the tide of the river.
Yan Cheng walked in front with Chen Jinyao behind him. She took off her scarf and asked him to bend down, playing the role of a considerate wife as she wrapped it around his neck. He lifted an eyebrow and reached out to rub her head. Then, just as he opened his mouth to praise her, she tightened the scarf.
This scarf was good. She could hold onto him while he walked in front of her.
“Are you walking a dog?” Yan Cheng had no expression on his face.
Hearing this, Chen Jinyao suppressed her smile and deliberately teased him, “Tsk. I can’t help it if that’s what you think.”
“…” He suddenly felt stifled.
For the sake of keeping their marriage harmonious, he proposed that they forbid this exasperating sentence, “I can’t help it if that’s what you think,” from being uttered again.
