It was as if he feared the hug would crush her if it was any tighter.
"Sorry..." She heard his voice in her ears. "Yiran, can you... let me hold you like this for a while?" he murmured. There was a slight sob to his voice, and it sounded like he was begging her.
At this moment, he sounded almost inferior.
He was the high and mighty crown prince of the entertainment industry. When had he ever begged someone like this?
Ling Yiran felt as though something was blocking her heart. She did not move and stayed quietly in Gu Lichen's arms.
He held her carefully as if he was holding a beautiful dream. She could smell his scent and hear his heartbeat.
After some time, he finally pulled away.
Gu Lichen apologized for the second time and said, "Sorry, I was a little impulsive... just now and mistook you... for someone in my imagination."
"It's alright," muttered Ling Yiran, knowing who he was referring to.
"It won't happen again." His phoenix eyes stared at her, and his voice said firmly, "I won't mistake you for someone else again. You're Ling Yiran, the one and only Ling Yiran in this world."
'You're also the only one I love!'
She stared blankly at him and saw her face reflected in his dark pupils!
It was as if he only had eyes for her!
"Thank you," said Ling Yiran.
"I'm glad to help you out. This way, I can see you one more time and talk to you a little more. Many a little makes a mickle. Maybe one day, you'll fall in love with me too," he murmured.
"You..." She looked at him in shock. She realized for the first time that perhaps his feelings for her were deeper than she expected!
Just then, Ling Yiran was interrupted by a familiar voice. "Yiran!"
Ling Yiran looked back and saw Qin Lianyi walking her way with her hand hooked around Bai Tingxin's arm!
"Lianyi, what are you doing here?" Ling Yiran looked at her best friend in surprise.
