Chapter 498: Chapter 498 I want to hear what’s on your mind

Rong Shaoze was stunned, his eyes suddenly darkened, "Don’t you like me?"

He looked very desolate, like a pitiful child who had been abandoned, stirring up feelings of pity in one’s heart.

Lin Xinlan stopped joking, sighed, and caressed his face, countering with, "What about you? How do you feel about me?"

Even though he had spoken of love, he had never formally confessed to her.

She also wanted to hear what was in his heart...

The man grabbed her hand, his dark eyes gazing at her, unable to penetrate her thoughts.

"If I seriously tell you my feelings, will you seriously tell me yours? I don’t want anything half-hearted, no ambiguous answers, I want to hear what’s in your heart."

Both were afraid of getting hurt, neither daring to easily confess their love...

Lin Xinlan thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

If they really loved each other, she too hoped that they could understand each other’s feelings without suspicion, insecurity, or misunderstanding.

If they loved, then they should seize the opportunity to love properly, not wasting time, nor miss out on this relationship.

Receiving her agreement, Rong Shaoze’s face lit up with joy, and holding her hand, he said very seriously, "Xinlan, I love you, you are the first woman I have loved, and also the last. In this life, I will only love you. Please believe me, my sincerity does not have a trace of falsehood. Do you like me even a little?"

He would be content with just a little, fearing that she might still hate him, not liking him at all.

Lin Xinlan’s eyes flickered slightly, having heard his confession, she felt very moved and very fortunate.

"Is it enough for you that I like you just a little?" she asked softly.

Rong Shaoze thought for a moment and nodded, "If you need to take a hundred steps to fall in love with me, I hope you can take the first step, and I will complete the remaining ninety-nine. Right now, it’s enough for me that you like me just a bit, and then I will work hard, to make you fall completely in love with me."

He wasn’t afraid of working hard, but he needed her response.

As long as she gave even a slight response, he would have great motivation and confidence, and he would persevere with her for a lifetime.

After hearing his words, Lin Xinlan had only one thought, "He really is a fool."

The man was still looking forward to her answer, but she propped herself up, cradled his face, and kissed his lips.

This was her first time initiating a kiss with him, and a flash of surprise appeared in Rong Shaoze’s eyes.

"Xinlan... you haven’t answered me yet..." Although he was enjoying her initiative, he still wanted to hear her response.

Lin Xinlan covered his lips again, imitating his manner, kissing him dominantly, tenderly...

The man trembled all over, suddenly holding her tight, his breathing becoming unsteady.

He quickly switched from passive to active, kissing her intensely, and it took him a long time to reluctantly end the kiss.

"Hurry and tell me, what are your feelings for me?" A dark fire gleamed in his eyes as he asked in a strained, hoarse voice, holding back his patience.

Lin Xinlan couldn’t help laughing, "I thought I made myself quite clear."

Rong Shaoze’s gaze faltered slightly, already guessing her answer.

He suddenly tightened his hold on her shoulders, his dark eyes deep and breathless, he asked in a deep voice, "I want you to say it!"

Lin Xinlan reined in the smile on her lips, stretched out her hand to loop around his neck, and spoke with equal seriousness, "I like you too, perhaps not as deeply as you love me, but I know, I do love you..."

To say "I love you," those two words, made her feel much lighter...

The man’s pupils deepened, he wasn’t as overjoyed as one might expect.
