Even After My Death

Chapter 720: Chapter 618: Define the Relationship

Qi Xingzhou wasn’t hungry at first, but seeing Jiang Ning eat, he sat down and ate a bit too.

The little stools in the countryside were all small and short, made from pure wood by hand.

Even though Qi Xingzhou wasn’t bulky, he was quite tall.

Watching Qi Xingzhou choose not to sit on the tall stools but sit on a small stool to eat with her instead, Jiang

Ning looked at the scene and, for sreason, suddenly found him kind of cute.

If the system knew Jiang Ning’s thoughts, it would surely critique her sharply again: Host, you're done for, this is

beauty in the eyes of the beholder.

After finishing their meal, the wife's secretary urged Jiang Ning to go to sleep.

Jiang Ning wasn’t actually sleepy, after all, she had already had a good rest last night with Shi Xiaohua in the

cave.

But seeing Qi Xingzhou'’s eager eyes, Jiang Ning had a thought and led him into the house with her.

Qi Xingzhou initially thought that if Jiang Ning was going to sleep, he'd just wait outside the room, but to his

surprise, Jiang Ning brought him inside too.

Qi Xingzhou was a bit happy, as his thoughts were still quite innocent at the moment, even when sharing a small

space with Jiang Ning, he had no other ideas, even taking the initiative to say, “Jiang Ning, you go ahead and

sleep, I'll keep watch beside you.”

“I'm not sleepy.” Jiang Ning pulled him in, not for sleeping anyway.

“Thank you for taking the risk to cup the mountain to findtoday.” Jiang Ning held his hand tightly: “I

want to give you a gift as thanks, do you want it?”

When Qi Xingzhou first heard Jiang Ning thank him, he was a little unhappy.

But then he heard Jiang Ning say she wanted to give him a gift, and Qi Xingzhou felt a bit tempted.

Jiang Ning rarely took the initiative to give him gifts.

Ever since they met, Jiang Ning had given him stuff, and he treasured them like priceless items.

The first small night lamp she gave him was in his hotel suitcase, and the pendant she gave him last twas

still on him.

He kind of wanted Jiang Ning’s gift, but he also felt that he didn’t go to find Jiang Ning just to receive her thanks.

Qi Xingzhou pursed his lips, feeling a bit conflicted.

When he was with Jiang Ning, he felt completely different from when he was outside.

To outsiders, he appeared cold and solemn, looking like a young master who seldom smiled and maintained a

high and cold demeanor.

In reality, this was just his facade, in front of Jiang Ning, he was completely unguarded, a very sincere person.

Which allowed Jiang Ning to always see through his thoughts at a glance.

“If you don’t say anything, I'll consider it as assent. Just listen to what I'm gifting you first,” Jiang Ning decided

for him, “If you don’t like it and don’t want it, you can refuse.”

“It’s not that | don’t want it, nor that | don’t like it.” Qi Xingzhou immediately replied, even though he had no

idea what Jiang Ning was going to give him.

Jiang Ning couldn’t help but smile with her eyes: “Okay, then listen to what | have to say, alright?”

Qi Xingzhou quieted down, perking up his ears to listen carefully.

Jiang Ning was also a bit nervous, she organized her words and said softly, “Do you remember when you tried to

give your assets tobefore?”

At these words, Qi Xingzhou's eyes suddenly changed, staring fixedly at Jiang Ning.

“Back then, | always thought you were a bit naive like a child, not really understanding what your words and

actions truly represented.”

“Even when you said several times before that you likedand wanted to be with me, | thought it was just a

joke, not to be taken seriously. Even when my attitude softened later, I still told you to wait until you're back to

normal, know what you're doing, and truly understand whether you really likebefore I'd reconsider this.”

Qi Xingzhou'’s expression suddenly becanxious, though he was still very polite and restrained himself, not

interrupting Jiang Ning rashly.

And luckily he didn’t speak out rashly because next, Qi Xingzhou heard the words he wished he could record and

play a thousand times each day:

“But now, I’m going back on my word. Let's just say I'm taking advantage of the situation; | want to claim you

before anyone else discovers your treasure. Qi Xingzhou, givea chance to pursue you, please?”

As the words fell, Qi Xingzhou could hardly believe what he heard.

He didn’t even dare to blink, afraid that what Jiang Ning just said was an illusion.

Jiang Ning’s cheeks were burning.

In reality, she was very nervous inside but didn’t want Qi Xingzhou to see it.

She had been thinking about this the whole way down the mountain.

Originally, she planned to wait until the variety show ended, and after they returned to the Capital City, she'd

find the right moment to speak to him.

But her plan changed immediately when she saw Qi Xingzhou sitting on the small stool eating.

Qi Xingzhou was really like an undiscovered treasure; the more she got to know him, the more she realized his

inner sparkle and countless good qualities.

What if, during the tbetween filming the show and returning to the Capital City, someone else noticed how

great Qi Xingzhou was?

No way.

She couldn't wait.

She had to settle it immediately.

She admitted to being selfish.

Jiang Ning finished speaking, but there was no response from Qi Xingzhou.

Normally, she would have looked up to check his expression, but now she didn’t dare to.

She looked down, tugging at Qi

Xingzhou's clothes with her hand,

“...ahem, if you need tto consider,” I'll give you ten seconds to think.

Before she could finish speaking, Qi Xingzhou suddenly raised his arm, wrapping it around Jiang Ning, pulling her

into his arms.

Their bodies closely pressed together, and the warmth passed through the thin fabric to each other.

“Ning Ning...”

Qi Xingzhou finally spoke.

His voice trembled a little.

This enormous surprise landed on him suddenly.

For the first time, Young Master Qi, who had never wanted for anything, felt the thrill and joy of hitting the

jackpot.

“I like you, | like you.”

He rested his head on Jiang Ning’s shoulder, so excited he was practically incoherent.

He took a deep breath to slightly

calm his excitement, then reRliedn

eagerly, Ng, Reed Eokyol to pursue

mie; Pil pursue you... No! Let's be

together, and then I'll pursue you!”

He didn’t even know what he was saying anymore.

Qi Xingzhou buried his head, rubbing against Jiang Ning’s shoulder like a puppy.

Showing his joy and excitement with actions.

Jiang Ning's initially tense heart

relaxed instantly, sensing A om

Uncbhnsciously, she revealed a big

While being held by Qi Xingzhou, she inhaled his clean scent and followed her heart, raising her arms to hug him

back.
