Chapter 236: Chapter 16 Difficult Demand

Xiao Xiao looked at Young Master Quan’s unhappy face, and lay at Gu Xiaoxi’s bedroom door, also looking disinterested.

"Let’s go! I’ll give you some meat to eat," Young Master Quan beckoned to Xiao Xiao, who immediately stood up happily and followed Young Master Quan.

Gu Xiaoxi listened to the sounds fading away outside her door, and felt she needed to make a phone call, to share her sudden personal situation with someone.

She opened the contacts on her phone and realized that this matter wasn’t right to share with anyone.

In the end, she fell asleep with mixed feelings.

She woke up the next day.

Gu Xiaoxi sat up and looked at the first light of dawn at the edge of the sky, feeling a sense of melancholy in her heart.

Ah! Anyway, she thought marrying Quan Shaoqing wouldn’t be too bad.

It was just that there should be a process to it, right?

After she finished washing up and dressing, she opened the door to her room.

She was greeted with a rich fragrance of roses; only then did she notice the red roses arranged on the floor in front of her, their vibrant blossoms open and emitting an intoxicating scent.

Gu Xiaoxi was stunned. What was this?

A confession? Or a formal marriage proposal?

Just at that moment, she saw Quan Shaoqing’s door open as well.

He held a delicate box in his hand and walked toward her with a smile.

Like a prince from a fairy tale, his tall and majestic stature stood before her like a mountain, exuding an overwhelming presence.

With his arrival, it was as if a wave had been brought along, instantly disturbing her heart’s lake, causing countless ripples to scatter across its surface.

"I have a gift for you, as a token of my feelings. We have a long time ahead of us, and I don’t want this to affect our relationship," Quan Shaoqing said, opening the gift box he was holding. Inside was a sparkling diamond necklace.

The heart-shaped pendant was engraved with the small word ’love,’ and the diamond was large and eye-catching. The unique craftsmanship was exquisite and superb, and his intentions were fully expressed through the necklace.

Gu Xiaoxi pursed her lips, her heart fluttering, a trace of blush spread across her cheeks. Standing there, she didn’t know where to put her hands for a moment.

What should she do?

Accept it or not?

Seeing Gu Xiaoxi standing there dumbfounded, Quan Shaoqing took out the necklace from the box, stepped forward, and put it around her neck for her.

His hands circled her neck, and at such a close distance, Gu Xiaoxi could smell only the fragrance from his body, feeling as if she had been transported to a world filled with the songs of birds and fragrant flowers.

To say she didn’t like it would be untrue; he made her feel like a breath of fresh air, and bathing in his presence felt so warm.

In front of him, she could be capricious and unreasonable, and he would tolerate her, indulge her, protect her.

Gu Xiaoxi thought that she probably couldn’t find another person in the world who would be so good to her.

"Once you accept the gift, you’ll be mine. I will protect you and won’t let anyone bully you," Quan Shaoqing said gently, lifting her delicate chin and then lowering his head to lightly peck her blushing lips.

His cool lips touched hers briefly, carrying an intoxicating sweetness.

Gu Xiaoxi’s cheeks flushed instantly, her eyes shyly squinting. That adorable look caught in Young Master Quan’s eyes set his heart ablaze, and his blood began to heat up fiercely.

Fearing he might lose his composure, he quickly turned his head away to suppress the beating of his heart.

Suddenly, he felt a twinge of pain in his chest accompanied by pounding, making his breath catch.

Gu Xiaoxi clearly sensed a change in his breathing rhythm, and for a moment, he seemed rigid.

But then he was fine again, as if what she had seen the instant before was merely an illusion.

"Let’s go! I’ll drive you back," Quan Shaoqing said, taking Gu Xiaoxi’s hand and leading her through the living room, crossing the sea of vibrant rose blossoms that filled the house.

His broad hands were warm. Gu Xiaoxi quietly clasped them, feeling an unprecedented peace in her heart.

She had accepted him just like that, without any superfluous words.

Their relationship instantly became ambiguous, and he boldly kissed her.

And she didn’t reject him; in fact, she even liked his scent a bit.

This wasn’t what she imagined love to be like. It was tranquil, with a subtle sweetness, like a cup of honey water—the sweetness was faint, yet it had its own unique flavor.

After going downstairs, Quan Shaoqing ushered her into the car.

Then he drove smoothly towards the Sixth Unit.

Gu Xiaoxi leaned against the car window, watching the sunrise. The golden sunlight spread across the land, reflecting on her handsome and rosy cheeks.

Gu Xiaoxi felt that the journey went by quickly. In the blink of an eye, they arrived at the Sixth Unit.

After the car stopped, she got out, walked over to Quan Shaoqing, placed the military cap on her head, and saluted him.

Looking at his handsome profile, she lowered her hand and smiled slightly, "Zookeeper, I don’t have many requirements for you, but you must be loyal to me."

Her demand for loyalty wasn’t about work but about emotions.

She was a bit twisted about her significant other’s requirements, not tolerating the slightest flaw.

"I’ll listen to everything you say," Quan Shaoqing said with a smile, reaching out to pinch her lovely cheek.

His smile made his face seem especially innocent. His dark eyes were full of doting love.

Gu Xiaoxi understood, then her lips curled up, her eyes squinting as she spoke nonchalantly, "Well then, I really liked the roses you gave me today. So take good care of them. I don’t want the roses to wither and lose their scent."

As soon as Gu Xiaoxi finished speaking, Quan Shaoqing clearly saw a flash of mischief pass through her eyes.

Ga ga ga ga~

Youth Master Quan was petrified, staring at Gu Xiaoxi’s innocent face, finding her long eyelashes cute no matter how he looked.

But this demand...

Wasn’t it a bit difficult for him?

He had bought 9,999 roses. If he had to preserve all of them... he didn’t dare think about it, let alone know how to.

He believed that no one could make rose blossoms smell sweet forever...

After Gu Xiaoxi finished speaking, she beamed a bright smile at Quan Shaoqing, innocent and naive, then turned and walked away briskly with the obedient Xiao Xiao.

This was a test for him, to see if his word was his bond.

In that moment, as she walked away with flair, only Quan Shaoqing remained sitting alone in the car amidst the chaos of his thoughts.

His wife didn’t give him any benefits and even posed a problem that was hard on him...
