She tried to defend herself, but when she recalled what she had said when they entered the apartment earlier and thought about what she was preparing to say now she couldn’t bring herself to look at him. “I had a dream.”
The man frowned. “Dream?”
“Yeah.” She nodded, coughed, and whispered softly, “A dream about you living happily ever after with someone else.”
Yan Cheng: “…”
After about two seconds: “Chen Jinyao, is your brain actually broken?”
He was looking at her like she was an idiot, and in response she placed her hand on her chest in an offended gesture.
However, she was relieved.
She reached out and pulled his head down toward her and kissed the corner of his mouth. “Answer honestly. Do you think I’m being unreasonable?”
Truthfully, she knew that the answer was yes, but she still wanted to ask.
She didn’t blink as she stared into his dark eyes.
“It’s okay.” There were no fluctuations in his gaze. He probably thought that she was just talking nonsense and didn’t take it seriously. Smiling, he said, “You’ve just become more stupid, that’s all. Can’t even tell between your dreams and reality anymore.”
Suddenly, she wanted to kick him out of the bed.

This was really a strange yet normal conversation. They seemed to have derailed from the original topic, but at the same time, they didn’t. It was like an extension instead.
Yan Cheng organized his thoughts and summarized their exchange. “You said that the process of us developing feelings for each other is moving too slow.”
“And you feel insecure.”
“Plus, your dream about me falling in love with someone else or whatever is more proof… that our emotional foundation is too weak.”
Chen Jinyao’s hands were roaming around his naked abdomen when he said this. She looked up as he continued, “Chen Jinyao, I think we should start from the beginning and do this love thing properly.”
After a moment of silence, he smirked. “It’s still the same sentence. My wife is fair and beautiful with long legs and shouldn’t ever doubt herself.”
Yan Cheng: “I am charmed by how good-looking you are.”
Yan Cheng: “Thus, I will now start officially pursuing you.”
Chen Jinyao was so surprised that she didn’t know how to react.
The chest felt tight, as if her heart had been caught by something and hung in midair, beating rapidly with each gentle puff of wind. The feeling of joy that followed made her a little dizzy.
Crazy, she was going crazy.
She never thought she would be overwhelmed by such honeyed words, and when he stared at her so intensely, she wanted to surrender immediately.
