Fog Returns to the Capital

Chapter 129 We'll get married, right?

……

The night was still and deep, the moon casting a hazy shadow.

When Li Wu returned, it was almost one o'clock in the morning.

It was Yan Xuting who brought her back again.

Although Yan Xuting's expression didn't change much, Li Wu could tell that Yan Xuting was in a good mood on the way back.

Even after getting out of the car, Yan Xuting was already thinking about getting married.

"Lili," Yan Xuting's voice was unusually gentle despite the biting cold wind, "For our future wedding, would you like it to be Western-style or Chinese-style?"

The words fell.

Li Wu's heart trembled slightly for no apparent reason.

But before she could answer, Yan Xuting continued, "Western or Chinese style is fine. If you like, we can even hold two events. What do you think?"

As he spoke, Yan Xuting turned to look at Li Wu beside him.

Under the streetlights, a rich, warm light shone on Yan Xuting's gentle and refined face. His eyes, usually dark and deep with very little movement, now held a faint smile.

The banquet pavilion signifies joy.

He was happier than any successful surgery he had ever performed.

When she looked into Yan Xuting's dark, deep eyes, it seemed as if only her eyes could be seen.

Li Wu's heart shrank slightly.

But the next second, Li Wu turned her head to look elsewhere, not daring to look directly at him.

"I also can."

A few seconds later, Li Wu spoke softly.

Whether it's Chinese or Western style, she can do it.

But then Li Wu added, "I've arrived. You can go back now. Be careful on your way back."

Yan Xuting glanced at Li Wu's expression, his gaze pausing almost imperceptibly. But he quickly added gently, "I'll take you back."

"I'm already downstairs, I'll just take the elevator home."

Li Wu looked at Yan Xuting with her clear black and white eyes, a smile appearing on her beautiful and delicate face. "You don't need to see me up anymore."

It quieted down.

Yan Xuting finally agreed, "Okay."

Upon hearing this, Li Wu smiled and said goodbye to him, "Send me a message when you get home."

This time, Yan Xuting did not agree immediately.

In the moment Li Wu turned to leave, in the hazy light and shadow, I watched her profile as it was about to disappear.

Yan Xuting's mind stirred, and he suddenly reached out and grabbed Li Wu.

"Li Li..."

Yan Xuting called her softly.

"Hmm?" Li Wu turned to look at him, thinking he had something else to say. "What's wrong?"

Yan Xuting lowered his head, his dark, deep eyes fixed on her. The ink in his eyes was thick and heavy, seemingly concealing extremely deep emotions. It was like deep affection, or perhaps, a kind of deep affection.

"We'll get married, right?"

Yan Xuting asked her in a low voice.

Deep and slow, each syllable was clear. Yet, due to uncertainty, the final syllable carried an uncontrollable, subtle tremor, as if pleading.

Li Wu's heart skipped a beat; she had never heard Yan Xuting speak in such a tone before.

He was very close to her, his deep black eyes fixed on her, filled with an indescribable tenderness.

It felt like I was about to kiss her any second.

So is the truth.

Yan Xuting gazed intently into her eyes, and as he slowly lowered his head, Li Wu's hands, which were hanging at her sides, clenched tightly. A clean and cool aura gradually enveloped her, like the pure tranquility of a breeze rustling through the treetops, unconsciously calming the mind and spirit.

The air between them suddenly moved very slowly and became very thick.

Li Wu's heart began to beat faster involuntarily, her breath seemed to freeze in her lungs, and her hands, hanging at her sides, clenched tighter and tighter.

Their breaths clashed and collided within a fraction of a millimeter, then almost merged.

Li Wu's heartbeat reached its limit at that moment, almost stopping.

She kept her eyes open, neither pushing him away nor closing them in embarrassment. She simply watched him slowly approach, her entire body stiffening, her hands clenched tightly at her sides.

She almost forced herself to accept it.

however.

Just as Yan Xuting lowered his head to kiss her, the string in Li Wu's heart seemed to snap suddenly, unable to bear the pressure.

At the last second, Li Wu turned her head away.

Yan Xuting's kiss landed unexpectedly on her cheek.

"Sorry……"

Li Wu barely dared to look at Yan Xuting's expression. After subconsciously apologizing, she hurriedly turned around and went upstairs, almost fleeing in panic.

Under the cold, hazy light and shadow.

As Yan Xuting watched Li Wu's flustered departure, the darkness in his eyes deepened. For a moment, he couldn't quite describe the feeling in his heart.

He was the only one standing there.

The cold light and shadows made his figure appear exceptionally long and rendered him exceptionally lonely.

……

After going upstairs.

Outside.

When Li Wu pressed her finger on the fingerprint lock, her fair and slender fingers were even trembling slightly, and she failed to recognize the fingerprint after several attempts.

A long, strong hand suddenly reached out from the side and grasped her wrist.

"what--"

Li Wu was so frightened that her mind went blank, and she screamed instantly.
