Chapter 71: Lin Qingzhi Wants a Family

“Wang Haoran, you’re not thinking of refusing, are you?”

Hearing Lin Qingzhi’s words, Wang Haoran was genuinely shocked, unable to find words.

Seeing Wang Haoran not making further excuses, Lin Qingzhi’s courage grew. She boldly sat sideways on Wang Haoran’s lap.

“Don’t be scared. You’re rich and gentle. It’s normal for me to fall for you and stick to you!”

“And honestly, girls can be very lustful too. You’re so handsome; I’m attracted to your face!”

“That’s really all the reasons. Just agree already!”

Feeling Lin Qingzhi’s cheeks rubbing against him, Wang Haoran sensed something was off. Why did her mental strength suddenly drop from 200 to 170 with “confused” added?

Strange, really strange.

“Qingzhi, I know that’s not what you really think. Tell me the real reason, okay?”

“…”

“Qingzhi?”

Hearing Wang Haoran’s words, Lin Qingzhi froze, biting her lip and lowering her head, her hands twining together, but she didn’t speak.

Wang Haoran waited.

After an eerie ten minutes of silence in the car, Lin Qingzhi finally spoke softly.

“It’s all your fault…”

“It’s all because of you… Every time, you appeared so timely…”

“By the time I realized you were bad news, it was too late…”

“Why did you have to be the first person I saw!”

“Do you know, when I woke up in the hospital bed and saw your face, I understood—”

“From then on, I couldn’t live without you! My future choices were only you!”

As Lin Qingzhi spoke, tears started to fall.

“It’s all your fault!”

“You made me think of my parents, made me feel the warmth of family again! I managed on my own for so long!”

“The moment you appeared, I became incapable again!”

With red eyes, Lin Qingzhi tightly gripped Wang Haoran’s wrists.

“You made me a child again, so you have to take responsibility!”

“You must always, always coax and accompany me! Even if you lie, it’s okay! Just stay by my side!”

“But, you damn bastard, why, why did you suddenly turn cold, suddenly stop lying to me!”

“You should keep lying! I could pretend not to know!”

Venting to this point, Lin Qingzhi dropped all restraint, looking at Wang Haoran angrily like a child.

“Do you know how much I miss you?”

“At the hotel, you were gone for just a few hours, but I felt miserable and lonely, only able to stare at your moments to pass the time.”

“Seeing you return made me so happy I almost jumped! But what did you do? You didn’t hold my hand or whisper sweet nothings in my ear!”

“You just want to keep your distance!”

Lin Qingzhi wrapped her arms around Wang Haoran and the driver’s seat tightly.

“I don’t care, you’re not getting out unless you agree!”

Seeing Lin Qingzhi pressing against him stubbornly, Wang Haoran gently tried to move her arms.

But she clung even tighter.

Wang Haoran whispered in her ear, “Qingzhi, let go first, I can feel you getting squished. You’re already small, any more and you’ll be flat!”

With Wang Haoran’s words, Lin Qingzhi let out a “ya!” and instinctively loosened her grip, her face turning red.

Wang Haoran seized the moment to grab her shoulders.

Realizing, Lin Qingzhi tried to move again, but she wasn’t strong enough. Struggling, she finally gave up.

Her expression turning sorrowful, she pleaded softly.

“Haoran, are you worried your girlfriends won’t like it? Then… I can hide, just tell me, and I’ll help you deceive them…”

Hearing no response from Wang Haoran, Lin Qingzhi grew more distressed.

“Then… treat me as a little sister. I won’t take your money or love, just, just occasionally visit and leave me a memory…”

The more Lin Qingzhi spoke, the more tears fell.

The hours of lonely waiting had made her anxious. Noticing Wang Haoran’s subtle distance when he returned made her more panicked.

On the way home, her anxiety grew, and she finally couldn’t hold it in at the door.

She didn’t mind being seen as a gold-digger or a weak, manipulative white lotus.

As long as he stayed by her side.

She didn’t want to lose her only family again.

But it seemed her wishful thinking wasn’t enough. If Wang Haoran didn’t want it, she had no choice, wiping tears and stubbornly sitting on his lap.

Seeing her pitiful plea, Wang Haoran sighed.

Though a righteous young man, he had a soft spot.

He could only turn the tables.

“Sigh, Qingzhi, you’re leaving me no choice!”

He gently patted her head.

“But, for you, I’m willing!”

“I’ll take it as you accepting my confession, becoming my girlfriend!”

“Tomorrow, I’ll cancel everything and spend the day with you!”

“Really?!” Lin Qingzhi looked up.

“Really! If you don’t believe, I’ll let you mark it now!”

“Muah—” Lin Qingzhi kissed him, pulling away quickly, only to be held by the waist.

“Come, let me teach you!”

“Haoran, wait—mm~”

The naive girl lost her first kiss.
