All of a sudden, Yi Jinli's eyes turned red. Was he too nervous, or was he so looking forward to it that his body even started trembling slightly? His lips were quivering too.
"You love me... Really?" he murmured with a shaky voice.
Ling Yiran said, "Yes. Could it be fake? Jin, I love you. I thought it might take a long time for me to love you again, but... love doesn't seem to be affected by time."
There was no earth-shattering incident nor any special opportunity. She just naturally confirmed her feelings for him.
It was probably because she loved him.
Yi Jinli suddenly held Ling Yiran in his arms again. "You said you love me. You can't go back on it!"
"Yes, I won't go back on my word," she said, hearing the lump in his voice. "Jin, are you crying?"
He did not answer her but buried his face deeper into her shoulder, taking in her scent as if to imprint everything about her into his heart.
Ling Yiran could only feel the wetness on her shoulder.
...
When Ling Yiran and Yi Jinli slowly walked out of the cemetery, Gao Congming, who was waiting outside, was surprised when he saw his boss with red eyes.
On the other hand, Ling Yiran seemed to be in good spirits with a faint smile on her face.
Somehow, Gao Congming thought that the scene should be of a man bullying a little lady so her eyes reddened with tears of grievance while the man was jolly!
'Young Master Yi really... cried?
'Well... What did Young Madam say that made Young Master Yi cry?'
"You have to tell me even if my eyes are swollen. You can't keep it to yourself!" said Yi Jinli. Did she know how much it meant to him when she said she loved him?
"Okay, okay!" she said. She seemed to be pacifying a child, raising her hand to pet his head as if she were petting a puppy.
Gao Congming stayed petrified!
Only Young Madam could do something like that to Young Master Yi. If it were someone else, their hand would have been chopped off!
