"I'm glad that the chaos that night brought us a connection to our life trajectory, and I'm even more glad that the chaos that night brought us a constant connection. Manlin, you are a good woman, I will try to be a good man and match you."

His face was serious and gentle as never before. The deep and narrow Danfeng eyes were flashing with warmth, emitting a faint and fanatical light, which was better than the swaying and brilliant candlelight in front of him; the corner of his handsome mouth was filled with just the right smile, with doting and affection, combining it into the most moving expression.

Chen Manlin, who has always been clever and decisive, looked at this scene and his words echoed in his mind. He was stunned for a moment, completely forgot how to react.

I never thought that there would be moments in this life when a man confessed like this, such as gorgeous flowers, candlelight dinners, touching love words, and all the beauty is unreal, making her feel like she is in a dream.

Seeing that she was silent, her beautiful bright eyes flashed with a twinkle luster. The man smiled and continued, "Don't you think I'm joking again, right? Manlin, I'm serious. From the day you promised me to try out marriage, I've wanted to say these words to you, but I'm afraid of you..."

But I was afraid that she would not believe it, and he was a little embarrassed, so he has been buried until now.

"I have indeed said love words to many women in my life, but they are all acts and have no sincerity. I also know that it is precisely because of the past that you disdain and sneer at me. But how did I know that I would meet a woman named Chen Manlin in my future life? If I could see the future, I would definitely be clean and keep my body as jade, and use my life's love luck to exchange for meeting and knowing you. Manlin, this is the last time I said such words to a woman from the heart. I hope you believe me." I am a master of love. This sensational confession can be thought of even if ordinary men rack their brains, but Huo Tianlei can do it at will.

The low and slow tone hits in my heart like a drumstick, and the afterglow is not clear. Chen Manlin's mind is empty, but these words are echoing, and she forgets to distinguish the true and false. She just kept thinking that Huo Tianlei was confessing to her, and Huo Tianlei was confessing to her...

"Manlin..."

"Manlin?"

"Yeah!" With a sudden blink of an eye, she looked up at the handsome and handsome man opposite, took a breath and suppressed her pounding heart, opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Huo Tianlei looked at her with a rare moment of speechlessness, smiled, and was not in a hurry, waiting for her to sort out her thoughts.

She picked up the juice and took a sip. The cold and sweet feeling made her calmer, and then looked up at him again, "What do you mean by that... do you like me?"

He curled his lips and smiled slightly, shaking the goblet in his hand gracefully and leisurely, "Or...it is more appropriate to use the word love."

"Love..." She murmured, "Do you love me?"

"Didn't I say clearly enough?"

"No--" The heartbeat moved again. She put down her hand and stroked her bulging abdomen, and her cheeks became unconsciously hot. "I just felt... too suddenly."

"Suddenly? I seem to express my intention to do something real with you more than once. I mean that you always refuse and sarcastically mock me."

She pursed her lips, feeling guilty - it was indeed so.

"Manlin, you are not so disgusted with me, right?" Huo Tianlei saw that she stopped talking, and guided her in a tempting manner. "I can see that you are very happy with me. Although we are always bickering, we are all happy. This time I encountered a crisis, and you are also worried about me, anxious about me, and even willing to compete with those old stubborns for me - no woman has ever been willing to give like this for me. Manlin, you actually care about me, right?"

In Huo Tianlei's eyes, women are almost useless except for serving men as foils, but Chen Manlin made him change this view. He had told Lu Junhao before that this woman is different, and at this moment, he understood where this difference is manifested.

This is a woman who can fight side by side with him. She is not a woman who is weak and only knows how to seek the protection and love of men. Such a woman is so rare, and what is even more difficult is that she is met by him, and she has this inextricable relationship.

He can't miss this opportunity.

However, he didn't want her to fight side by side with him in the future and be his woman, just be pampered and cared for by him. If she likes to be a queen, then she will be his lifelong queen and his own queen.

Chen Manlin's thoughts have long been unable to be covered. However, when the man pointed it out in this way, she was still a little embarrassed and said with disagreement: "It's just about business. Helping Huo is not unhelpful to Wanlian."

"Is it because of this?" he sighed and complained, "You are good at everything, but this temper needs to be changed. The one who is stubborn is talking about you."

"Hey! What are you saying?" The woman was described as a dead duck. "I just told the truth. Besides, we are still a husband-wife relationship after all. If I don't save you, what will the outside world say!"

He nodded and glanced at her, "It's okay if you don't admit it, why are you angry and embarrassed... But my intentions have been expressed. I will pursue you openly in the future. It doesn't matter if you don't admit it for the moment. I have confidence--you will eventually fall in love with me!"

She pursed her lips and lowered her eyes, not looking at him at all, but the buzzing sound in her heart like a drum reveals her true emotions.

"Okay, have a meal, don't starve the little guy in your stomach!"

Even though I didn't hear what I wanted to hear, Huo Tianlei was still in a good mood. The meal started in a harmonious and warm atmosphere until it ended.

Thinking that she had worked hard these days, Huo Tianlei did not arrange too many programs. After dinner, he took her to the riverside and drove home.

When Chen's mother saw the flowers in her daughter's arms and her son-in-law's face was full of spring breeze, she knew that the couple had escaped danger and their relationship had further improved. She smiled happily and was very happy.

Chen Manlin was absent-minded that night, and when she got home, she couldn't wait to hide in the room to calm down her chaotic thoughts. Huo Tianlei talked with his elders for a while, mostly in the company. Then, seeing that it was getting late, he said goodbye to his elders and went upstairs to find a woman who had been abnormal all night.

When he opened the door, he saw that she had washed up and leaned against the head of the bed, holding the baby book in his hand and reading it. He smiled, but he didn't say anything, and took the clothes and went to wash.
