Chapter 135: A Promise, a Vow
"Next... I'm hungry." Sheng Yuan said leisurely, "Let's eat first."
"You..." Lin Mingmo was speechless for a moment, frowning and looking at Sheng Yuan angrily.
After causing such a big mess, he only thought about eating.
She felt what Old Lady Sheng was feeling just now, and was really angry to the point of liver aching.
Sheng Yuan looked at Lin Mingmo's angry expression and sighed: So cute.
"Well, it's already happened, and there's no turning back." Sheng Yuan said with a smile, "The old lady has so many people with her...if we stay, we'll just be an eyesore to her."
What he said...seems to be right.
The two people that Old Lady Sheng least wants to see right now are probably these two.
Once you walk out that door, there's no turning back.
The already shaky relationship between Sheng Yuan and the Sheng family has become even worse. What should he do?
But... looking at Sheng Yuan's smiling face...
"Why do I feel like... you're a little happy?" Lin Mingmo asked with dissatisfaction, frowning.
She almost couldn't handle the scene just now.
I didn't expect Sheng Yuan to be so stubborn.
"Of course I'm happy." Sheng Yuan admitted frankly, "Because... someone said that we are in love."
He looked into Lin Mingmo's eyes, which had a faint light flowing in them, and the curve of her lips was just right.
Having crossed the line of defense that Lin Mingmo had always been afraid to cross, she should also dare to face her own heart.
So... Sheng Yuan continued to stare at Lin Mingmo.
"Eh? I..." Lin Mingmo's face flushed, and she was caught off guard by the teasing. She stammered, "That was... that was to agree with you... You said it first..."
This person... is so unpredictable.
However, Lin Mingmo's heavy mood was eased a lot by Sheng Yuan's jokes.
She sighed and followed Sheng Yuan's footsteps obediently.
Occasionally, I couldn't help but look up at his profile, which was still incomparably exquisite and handsome.
He seemed to care about nothing, but also seemed to have something very important in his heart.
When I walked out of the hospital building, I found that it was dark outside.
The cool breeze on a winter night is quite lethal. When it blew gently, Lin Mingmo couldn't help but shiver.
The next second, a coat with Sheng Yuan's body temperature and scent was draped over her shoulders.
"Sheng Yuan, Sheng Yuan..." Lin Mingmo called softly.
"What's wrong?" His voice sounded even more charming in the night.
"Can you...let go..." Lin Mingmo laughed dryly, "You've been holding on for too long."
The clenched hands became hot, and a layer of sweat appeared on the palms, sticking together and feeling uncomfortable.
"Then..." Sheng Yuan stretched out his other hand and spread it in front of Lin Mingmo, "Switch it."
He raised his eyebrows, his eyes slightly sharp, but with a hint of expectation in them.
It was like spreading a test question in front of Lin Mingmo.
Lin Mingmo's heart tightened and she swallowed subconsciously.
She vaguely knew that her choice was very important to Sheng Yuan and might determine the direction of her relationship with Sheng Yuan.
This is not just holding hands, but a promise, a vow.
Lin Mingmo looked into Sheng Yuan's eyes and asked softly, "Are you scared?"
"Not afraid."
"The Sheng family won't accept me..."
"Not afraid."
"I don't like you being in contact with other women... like last time..."
"Not again." Sheng Yuan's expression was serious and focused. "Last time, I was naive. I wanted to know if I was your first choice. But then I reflected on it. Under those circumstances, it was normal for you to be angry with me."
Lin Mingmo's pupils dilated.
"And... in these two years, you are my only woman..." Sheng Yuan continued with a sincere look.
Lin Mingmo frowned and pursed her lips, obviously not believing it.
How is it possible... I've clearly met him many times in those extravagant and decadent places...
Sheng Yuan smiled and said, "Do you think I'm lying to you?"
Lin Mingmo opened her lips slightly and looked at Sheng Yuan's eyes in confusion. He seemed very sincere, with his eyebrows slightly raised, and his eyes were sparkling with the reflection of the street lights.
I already have the answer in my heart, but I won't let it go when I say it.
"Who knows..." Lin Mingmo muttered, "Haven't you heard that? The more handsome a man is, the more likely he is to lie."
The smile in Sheng Yuan's eyes grew thicker. "Would that beautiful woman lie?"
"of course."
"Oh, I see." Sheng Yuan seemed to want to hear this answer. "So what you said before about not liking me, not wanting to be with me, not wanting to meet me, and keeping your distance... these words were all lies."
"So actually, you like me, want to be close to me, want to see me every day..."
"Hey, you..." Lin Mingmo reacted and realized how she had been fooled by Sheng Yuan again.
"You can't calculate it that way!" Lin Mingmo retorted.
"That's not what you said? Huh?"
Unable to refute...
Lin Mingmo was angry and annoyed. She raised her hand and slapped Sheng Yuan's palm hard.
The soft palm made a crisp "slap" sound, and the pain instantly spread from the palm of the hand to the whole body, and the arm was slightly numb from the shock.
But Sheng Yuan was not angry. With a faint smile on his face, he took her hand and held it in his palm.
Then, apply gentle force and pull.
Lin Mingmo was pulled into his arms and bumped into his chest.
Perhaps it hit a sore spot, Sheng Yuan let out a muffled groan.
"Sheng Yuan..."
She called out his name softly, and the moment she looked up, Sheng Yuan's face pressed down on hers, his cool lips covering hers, and his hot and moist breath blowing against hers.
It was as if an electric current passed through her whole body, Lin Mingmo's eyes became moist and her eyelashes trembled.
After her breathing stopped for a few seconds, Lin Mingmo slowly closed her eyes.
In the hospital parking lot, under the cover of night, Lin Mingmo suppressed the anxiety caused by her pounding heart and boldly responded to the kiss.
So be it.
She couldn't guarantee what her fickle mind would think the next second.
But at this moment, all she wanted was to drown in the same ocean with him.
With their fingers tightly clasped together, Lin Mingmo deepened the kiss.
Sheng Yuan felt it, raised his eyebrows slightly, opened his eyes and looked at her.
This kiss without too much desire did not last long. They had kissed many times before, but none of them was as touching as this one.
"Sheng Yuan..." Lin Mingmo called softly, her heart beating fast.
"Ok?"
Sheng Yuan held Lin Mingmo's face in his hands and looked at her eyes, which were sparkling with moisture. "What do you want to say?"
As their eyes met, their body temperature rose.
"I seem... seem..." Lin Mingmo hummed hesitantly.
"Like what?" he demanded.
For some reason, those words were stuck in Lin Mingmo's throat and she couldn't say them.
After a long moment, Lin Mingmo shyly turned her face away and asked, "Aren't you hungry? What do you want to eat?"
"Heh." Sheng Yuan laughed out loud.
He ruffled her hair and said softly, "Let's go."
