"Huh?" An Ran pointed at her seatbelt, "But... I can really do it myself."
"When I say 'take care,' it's not just about that." Jiang Yinuo's gaze was very gentle, "It's about taking care of everything about you. Protecting you, cherishing you, is that okay?"
An Ran looked at Jiang Yinuo in shock.
Even if she were a bit dense, she could hear the implication in Jiang Yinuo's words.
Was he... indirectly confessing?
An Ran had no experience in rejecting people and didn't understand how to be subtle. She moved her lips and said, "Mr. Jiang, I can't agree to that right now. Because I don't like you at all, it wouldn't be fair to you..."
Jiang Yinuo had thought that An Ran might reject him.
But he didn't expect her to bluntly say, "I don't like you."
Even though he was mentally prepared, the light in his eyes dimmed a bit.
Then he smiled faintly, "It's okay, as long as you don't outright reject me. Let's start by being friends, okay?"
Friends.
