Lexi flipped over to sit astride Chen Yu, gazing at him intently.
She had first been drawn to Chen Yu for his politeness and gentlemanly nature. But she truly fell in love with him—enough to want to marry him—because of his integrity and resilience.
Despite his terrible family background, Chen Yu hadn't let it drag him down. He had gotten this far on his own effort, saddled with hundreds of thousands of dollars in loans. It was something most people couldn't have managed.
It was precisely this shared understanding of his struggle that made her fall for Chen Yu without a second thought.
"Don't talk. Kiss me."
Lexi took a deep breath and pressed down on him again.
Her hands gripped Chen Yu's back tightly. Amidst her ragged breaths, Lexi suddenly asked, "Chen, will you marry me?"
"Huh?"
Chen Yu stopped abruptly and gave Lexi an exasperated look.
'Seriously? You have to ask me that right now?'
"Would you even believe anything I say right now?"
"I would."
Lexi nodded.
