"You want to get married." Zi Ruoxi's tone revealed a hint of unease.
"You're very smart." Qiao Junlie smiled.
"Marry me, what's wrong with marrying me? Marry me... you'll have everything. Including me. My dear wife..." Qiao Junlie spoke warmly and playfully, his words seductive and alluring.
Zi Ruoxi's heart skipped a beat. She had just come to terms with her feelings; she didn't want any more pressure.
"…I don't want to get married now." Zi Ruoxi said truthfully.
Qiao Junlie's gaze flickered slightly. His hand movements suddenly stopped, resting quietly on her.
"Alright. Let's not discuss this topic now." Qiao Junlie said calmly, then slowly ran his long fingers through her hair.
He gently wrapped her hair around his fingers, playfully and deliberately teasing her by brushing her hair against her ear, causing Zi Ruoxi to itch and shake her head repeatedly. His voice drifted into her ear, "But, don't make me wait too long! I can't run a marathon for that long."
Marathon?
