Zhang Bin's heart began to pound, and he closed his eyes in anticipation. Liu Xin hooked her arm around his neck, stood on her tiptoes, and gently kissed him.
He could never have dreamed that Liu Xin would be so bold and proactive as to kiss him first. He instinctively wrapped his arms around her and began to respond with passion.
By the time the kiss ended, Zhang Bin was completely mesmerized and started to push his luck.
"I'm just grateful that you saved my mother-in-law. Don't get the wrong idea," Liu Xin said, catching Zhang Bin's hands with a shy blush on her face. Her expression was mixed with a bit of awkwardness.
Zhang Bin's face immediately fell, filled with disappointment and gloom.
"Xiao Bin, if I were to say yes... would you marry me?" Liu Xin whispered, not wanting to see him disappointed. Her voice was softer than a mosquito's buzz.
"Marry you?"
