"So..."
Ruan Tang paused for a long time, unable to get the rest of her words out. Under the moonlight, Xu Lai saw her fidgeting with the hem of her clothes, her face gradually blushing a charming shade of red. She was so beautiful he wanted to kiss her right then and there.
The scene was set, and the atmosphere was perfect for romance.
Xu Lai's mind raced. He raised an eyebrow and ventured, "So... can our relationship take another step forward?"
"..."
That was indeed what she had in mind.
Through their recent interactions, she realized Xu Lai wasn't the scoundrel she had imagined him to be. On the contrary, he was a doting father who cared a great deal for their daughter, Yiyi, and for her.
But as the words reached her lips, the bashful Ruan Tang just couldn't say them aloud. She couldn't be the one to break the ice, could she?
Faced with Xu Lai's intense gaze, Ruan Tang stomped her foot. "Forget it! Let's just keep things weird."
