Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart-Chapter 656 - 655: Off to Whisper Sweet Nothings

Duan Yunfei said, "Master has so many tricks up his sleeve to win a girl’s heart, I’ve only learned this one trick."

Shen Qinglan squinted slightly, "You seem regretful?"

"Indeed, quite regretful," Duan Yunfei chuckled, "If I’d known back then that I would meet you in the future, I would surely have learned more tricks from Master to win your heart."

"Smooth talker," Shen Qinglan turned away, avoiding his somewhat intense gaze.

Duan Yunfei pursed his thin lips, stepped forward again to face her, his gaze affectionate as he whispered, "In this lifetime, you’re the only one I speak sweetly to, do you believe it?"

Shen Qinglan nodded without hesitation, "I believe it!"

Duan Yunfei laughed at her words, reached out to cup her face, the sudden cool touch made Shen Qinglan’s breath catch, she could only stare blankly as he lowered his head and placed a gentle kiss on her small face.

"For you, everything I’ve said and done has never been just idle words," Duan Yunfei looked directly at her, his tone as gentle as ever, "I’m serious, serious about wanting to marry you, to grow old with you and spend the rest of our lives together."

His gaze, under the moonlight and the glow of lanterns, seemed imbued with a light of reverence, focused and deep.

Shen Qinglan only felt her throat clogging up, her eyes slightly warm.

She blinked a few times, gathering the warmth away, then softly said, "I’m not good with romantic words, but I think I can’t live the rest of my life without you."

Her waist tightened, and the person opposite had already pulled her tightly into his embrace.

Duan Yunfei buried his head lightly in her hair, muffled, "You actually don’t need to say anything, I already know you’re thinking of me."

When it comes to feelings, Shen Qinglan is actually somewhat slow. Back then, if he hadn’t taken the initiative, she would likely not have noticed him.

"Enough!" Shen Qinglan gently pushed him away, "Appropriate is enough, too much would be overbearing."

Duan Yunfei laughed happily, hugged her waist lightly, and said, "I’m not usually an impatient person, but with you, I can’t help but want to tell you everything in my heart."

Shen Qinglan gazed at him, half-expecting, pursed her lips into a smile, and looked at the drifting lanterns on the lake, remaining silent for a long time.

The two of them admired the lanterns by the lakeside for an unknown amount of time until a cold wind arose, and they snapped out of it, realizing it was late.

Duan Yunfei adjusted her cloak, "The wind’s picked up; let’s head back."

Shen Qinglan nodded slightly, and then they walked through the grass and slowly stepped out of the small dilapidated temple.

When they returned to the street, the lights were still bright, but the pedestrians were few and far between. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

The once bustling street now lay in disarray, with many broken and flattened lanterns scattered on the ground.

And the lake shore where the large paintings boat had docked earlier was now left in desolation.

Duan Yunfei said with a laugh, "It seems we don’t need to look for our cousin and the others, let’s just head back to Luo Mansion."

Shen Qinglan nodded, and as they were about to turn, suddenly, several figures sprang out from the side.

Duan Yunfei said without turning his head, "In the dead of night, hiding in the flowers, aren’t you afraid of getting your clothes wet from the dew?"

Luo Zilin chuckled, "I knew our cousin would surely find us. Brother Le Zhao didn’t believe it."

Le Zhao strode forward, looked at the two of them, and said, "Where did you two run off to? We had a hard time finding you."

"Naturally, we went to talk about love," Duan Yunfei raised his brows, "Or did you think we got lost?"
