Chapter 165 Misunderstanding Cleared Up
Suddenly, He Mingning felt a violent roar in her head. With a loud "buzz," it was as if a powerful thunderbolt had struck her head without warning! In an instant, she was as if she had been electrocuted, and she stood frozen in place, unable to move an inch.
At that heart-stopping moment, the once bustling and chaotic world around her seemed to suddenly press the pause button, and everything fell into an eerie silence. Time seemed to freeze, and even the air that was usually light and flowing seemed to solidify into heavy blocks of lead, pressing heavily on her chest, making it difficult for her to breathe, and almost suffocating her.
Her beautiful eyes widened in disbelief, fixed on Fan Junyu not far ahead. Her lips trembled uncontrollably, as if desperately trying to break the terrifying silence, but she was horrified to find that her throat was gripped tightly by an invisible, enormous hand! No matter how hard she struggled, all she could utter was a faint, almost imperceptible whisper. The sound was as light as the buzzing of a tiny mosquito on a summer night, tinged with undisguised trembling and shock, so helpless and pitiful: "You… what did you say?"
At that moment, He Mingning froze completely, her eyes wide, her face filled with disbelief. She couldn't help but doubt herself. Was there something wrong with her ears? Or was it a terrifying hallucination caused by excessive tension or fatigue? Otherwise, how could she have heard such unbelievable words?
Meanwhile, Fan Junyu, standing opposite her, wore a faint smile, a smile like a gentle spring breeze lightly brushing across a calm, mirror-like lake, creating delicate ripples. He slowly bent down, his movements so elegant that time seemed to slow down. As he drew closer to He Mingning, a uniquely masculine scent wafted over her. Finally, his sensual lips gently touched He Mingning's delicate earlobe, and in an extremely soft voice, like a lover's whisper, he whispered again, "I said, the girl I love... is you!"
Although the sentence was short, it struck He Mingning like a heavy hammer blow to her heart. In an instant, she felt a jolt in her heart, and her body trembled uncontrollably. It was as if an electric current had instantly coursed through her body, leaving her completely unable to control her limbs. Then, instinctively, like a frightened fawn, she suddenly burst forth with tremendous strength and abruptly broke free from Fan Junyu's warm and broad embrace.
Her body staggered backward several steps as if she had been pushed away by an invisible force. Each step seemed somewhat flustered until she finally regained her balance and stopped after creating a small distance between herself and Fan Junyu.
At this moment, He Mingning's originally fair and snow-white cheeks were now flushed with a vibrant blush, as alluring as a ripe apple. Her beautiful and captivating eyes were filled with suspicion, as if she found the words she had just heard unbelievable.
He Mingning tilted her head slightly, her gaze fixed on Fan Junyu standing not far away. Her eyes were filled with uncertainty and deep doubt. Her lips parted slightly, and she asked softly yet firmly, "Really? The person you love... is really me?"
Fan Junyu gazed quietly at the adorable little girl before him, a surge of tenderness welling up in his heart. Her large, watery eyes blinked rapidly, like twinkling stars in the night sky, or two sparkling gems, radiating a captivating light that made one want to hold her in their hands and cherish her.
At that moment, Fan Junyu felt a warm and gentle current flowing and surging deep within her heart. This current started as a trickle, but as time went by, it gradually gathered into a wide river, rushing forward continuously.
The warmth from that current gradually spread throughout Fan Junyu's body, penetrating from his limbs to the depths of his soul. It made him feel as if he were bathed in the warm spring sun, surrounded by an indescribable cozy atmosphere. This feeling was so wonderful that he was almost intoxicated by it.
In the quiet passage of time, Fan Junyu seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, and involuntarily reached out his long and powerful hand. The hand gently supported the girl's slightly thin and pitiful shoulder, as if a breeze were brushing across a lake.
Almost at the same instant, Fan Junyu's other hand also rose slightly, as if summoned by some mysterious force. His movements were as light as a butterfly fluttering, as he carefully and gently brushed against the little girl's delicate nose, which was as exquisite as a finely carved porcelain piece.
After completing this series of affectionate gestures, Fan Junyu's lips involuntarily curved upwards, like a flower touched by a spring breeze, blossoming into a gentle, indulgent smile. That smile was like the warm winter sun, warming everything around it; and like the dazzling stars of a summer night, so captivating that one could not tear oneself away.
Then, he lowered his head slightly, close to the little girl's ear. Then, in a deep and magnetic voice, he said softly, "Of course it's true, my silly girl. If it weren't for you, this lovely little sprite, entering my world, how could I be so close to you as I am right now? You are such a silly little thing, but you are the most precious treasure in my heart."
After listening quietly to what the other person had to say, He Mingning's already charming and endearing face instantly transformed into a spring flower blooming joyfully in the warm spring sun, dazzling and vibrant, blossoming into an incomparably radiant and captivating smile. At that moment, her heart was pounding like a herd of joyful deer, her happiness overflowing, and she couldn't help but blurt out, "So, you definitely won't break off the engagement with me, right?" Her bright, star-like eyes sparkled with anticipation and hope as she stared intently at the person before her, seemingly trying to find the answer she longed for on their face.
However, just as He Mingning was eagerly awaiting a response, Fan Junyu, standing opposite her, was completely amused by her innocent, playful, and adorable appearance. He paused slightly for a moment, then could no longer suppress his overwhelming laughter and burst out laughing. Immediately afterward, while laughing unrestrainedly, he shook his head and replied, "Oh, my dear girl! When did I ever say I wanted to break off the engagement with you? You really are overthinking things!"
Hearing Fan Junyu's straightforward denial, He Mingning's previously upturned lips immediately drooped slightly, and her delicate pink face puffed up with a hint of dissatisfaction and grievance, resembling an angry little pufferfish. She couldn't help but pout her cherry-like lips, muttering a soft complaint, "Hmph, you clearly said something similar just now, and now you still won't admit it..." Although she was complaining like this, her beautiful eyes remained fixed on Fan Junyu, revealing a hint of reproach in them.
Looking at the little girl before him, Fan Junyu couldn't help but smile wryly. He slowly raised his hand, his movements gentle yet resolute, and gently reached out to the petite and lovely girl. As his arm drew closer, he finally managed to pull her into his warm and generous embrace.
As he felt her soft, delicate body pressed tightly against his, an indescribable feeling of pleasure surged through him like a tidal wave. This pleasure came not only from physical contact, but also from a deep longing and cherishing of this intimate relationship.
At this moment, the little girl seemed to have given up struggling, curling up obediently in Fan Junyu's arms like an incredibly docile little lamb. She was so quiet that you could hardly hear her breathing, and her well-behaved and adorable appearance couldn't help but evoke feelings of pity and tenderness.
At that moment, Fan Junyu felt his heart overflowing with boundless satisfaction. It was as if he truly possessed the whole world, and nothing could compare to the happiness and peace he felt at that moment.
He lowered his head slightly, gazing affectionately at He Mingning in his arms, and then said in an extremely gentle voice, "I was worried that the reason you refused to marry me was because you already had someone else you loved. Now that I see you sitting quietly in my arms, my heart can finally be at ease."
Upon hearing this, He Mingning's heart jolted, as if a lightning bolt had struck her mind, and she instantly understood the reason. So, he had actually had such an absurd misunderstanding! Thinking of this, she couldn't help but give a bitter smile to herself.
She took a deep breath, lifted her head slightly, and her beautiful and refined face was fully revealed to everyone. Especially her bright, star-like eyes, which were now staring straight at Fan Junyu without flinching, her gaze as intense and focused as a burning torch, as if trying to see through his very soul.
Immediately afterwards, He Mingning parted her lips slightly, her voice clear and melodious yet trembling slightly: "So, the reason you want to break off our engagement isn't because you love someone else, but because you mistakenly believe I have no feelings for you whatsoever, is that right?"
Upon hearing this, Fan Junyu's face initially showed a hint of surprise, but he quickly regained his composure. He gazed silently at He Mingning, his deep eyes as unfathomable as a still lake. After a moment, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, revealing a faint smile, and then he nodded gently, indicating his agreement with what she said.
Seeing Fan Junyu's response, He Mingning's previously anxious heart finally settled. In an instant, all the tension and worry receded like a tide, replaced by overwhelming joy and elation. A radiant smile bloomed on her beautiful face, dazzling like a vibrant flower in spring, beautiful and full of vitality. This smile seemed to possess a magical power, able to infect everyone around her and brighten the whole world.
Fan Junyu quietly observed the little girl before him, taking in every subtle change in her emotions. The little girl's eyes sparkled with a bright light, shining like the most dazzling stars in the night sky.
He slowly reached out and gently stroked He Mingning's smooth hair, as if cherishing a rare treasure. Then, in a deep and gentle voice, he said softly, "If anything happens in the future, never keep it to yourself, and never make baseless guesses. You must know that if it concerns me, you can come to me without hesitation and ask directly. Do you understand? If you remain silent and refuse to tell me, how can I understand the truth? If misunderstandings cause a rift between us, or even lead to a helpless separation like this time, how regrettable that would be!"
After hearing these words, He Mingning was slightly taken aback at first, then seemed to understand something, and nodded gently in acknowledgment. The movement was elegant and natural, like a light butterfly fluttering in the air. Then, she parted her lips slightly and softly replied, "Yes, I understand. If I have any questions in the future, I will definitely come to you directly for clarification." As soon as she finished speaking, a faint blush crept onto her fair cheeks, as delicate and beautiful as a peach blossom in spring.
At this moment, He Mingning's delicate face radiated a happy smile, like the shimmering light of the first rays of morning sun on a lake, dazzling and heartwarming. Especially her large, bright eyes, now curved into two crescent moons, sparkled with joy and contentment, instantly evoking feelings of tenderness and affection. Coupled with her petite figure and playful, adorable demeanor, she appeared even more charming, captivating, and endearing.
Fan Junyu gazed intently at the lively and adorable girl before him, her joy palpable. Seeing her so happy filled him with an indescribable pleasure. A gentle smile curved his lips, a tender, indulgent one, like the warm winter sun. Then, he said softly, "Yes, I hope you'll remember my words!" His tone was full of concern and expectation.
Upon hearing this, He Mingning nodded in agreement without hesitation, shaking his little head like a rattle drum, and cheerfully shouted, "Okay!" His answer was clear and loud, like a nightingale singing in a valley or silver bells jingling, echoing in the air for a long time, making people feel refreshed and happy.
