Gu Jingxin's deep, dark eyes carried a hint of inquiry. His voice was devout and sincere. It was the first time Lao Si of the Gu Family had ever used the word "please," and for a woman he had only met once. This was a groundbreaking moment—absolutely shocking, wasn't it!
But clearly, Gu Jingxin was completely unfazed by it,
until much later when he finally seemed to come back to his senses. His cheeks carried a trace of unnatural stiffness, even tinged with a slight, awkward blush.
The man uncomfortably pursed his lips, sat up straight to compose his towering frame, and made an effort to appear more natural.
On top of that, in the future, he certainly would have to "plead" for more time together. After all, his heart had room for only one woman—utterly devoted, wasn't he!
Gu Jingxin couldn't help but feel a twinge of helplessness as he explained this to himself internally. Anyway, isn't love just the fusion of these two aspects? There's no escaping either, right!
