CHAPTER 848: CHAPTER 850: TENDER MOMENTS

Feeling the soft warmth of her body tightly pressed against his firm chest, he couldn’t help but sigh lightly. His heart felt settled at this moment, no longer adrift and homeless.

"I missed you so much. We haven’t seen each other for months. Didn’t you miss me?"

Sheng Yan’s cool voice carried a hint of grievance.

Jinxia patted his back and stuck out her tongue: "Be good. I missed you too. I was even planning to surprise you by barging into your company!"

Thinking of something, Sheng Yan chuckled and raised his voice, asking, "And then coincidentally see if there’s any woman blind enough to cling to me?"

Jinxia immediately changed her patting to thumping and stomped her foot. "What are you saying? Am I that petty and stingy?"

Sheng Yan pretended to be deeply wounded and coughed: "That was my bad. Pat lighter. If you hurt your hand, it’ll be me who feels sorry."

Jinxia rolled her eyes at him and pushed him away: "Smooth talker, I’m done playing with you!"

She turned and walked away, ignoring Sheng Yan.

Sheng Yan followed closely behind her, still looking indifferent, and his tone felt chilly. Yet, he had this knack for making people angry with his serious demeanor!

"It’s okay if you don’t want to play with me, just being with me is enough."

Jinxia: ...

"Don’t ignore me, or I’ll get mad."

Jinxia: ...

"If you keep ignoring me, I won’t tell you some really big good news."

Jinxia glanced at him, feeling slightly piqued, mumbled, "Why are you so childish."

Sheng Yan’s cool eyes softened into a gentle smile, still seriously speaking romantic words: "When you meet the right person, even the most mature man will turn into a big boy."

Jinxia’s words were stuck in her throat, her head slightly lowered. If you looked closely, you’d see her face blushing lightly, like she’d put on rouge, intoxicatingly beautiful.

Sheng Yan openly took her hand and led her to another exit.

Feeling a bit nervous, Jinxia looked around and only relaxed after seeing no one paying attention to them. She tried to break free a few times, but couldn’t, and whispered, "Stop it, there’s a lot of people around!"

Sheng Yan said casually, "Don’t worry, they won’t recognize us."

Jinxia: "What if they do?"

Sheng Yan naturally said, "Then let’s go public."

Jinxia was taken aback.

Sheng Yan held her hand tighter, glancing at her from the corner of his eye: "Are you scared?"

Jinxia lowered her head, quickly shaking it, feeling her palm getting a bit clammy, perhaps from the sweat caused by a racing heartbeat.

"No, I just feel a bit nervous, like we’re about to do something really big, uncertain about what the future holds."

Sheng Yan’s hand was slightly sweaty too, holding her hand tightly, "There’s nothing to be nervous about. Marrying, getting married, having kids, it’s that simple. I’ll take good care of you."

Feeling the strength of his grip, Jinxia looked up and saw his whole face taut, which made her burst into laughter, "Mr. Sheng, why do I feel like you’re more nervous than me?"

A world-renowned superstar, in front of her, seemed a bit flustered.

Sheng Yan, keeping his rogue demeanor, coolly said non-cool words, "I’m always nervous in front of you."

Jinxia held his hand tightly, turning her head aside, whispered, "Don’t think you can just gloss over it and omit the proposal scene. I won’t accept it."

Sheng Yan’s heart relaxed, a slight smile on his lips: "If I make the proposal grand, would you say yes?"

Jinxia coughed a few times, straightening her expression, eyes evasive: "Then I’ll consider it properly."

A sweet and warm atmosphere enveloped them, even without speaking, they felt their hearts drawing closer, mutually attracting.

Soon, they walked out of the airport. Sheng Yan drove over, a chauffeur specially assigned to them, Jinxia sat in the car, curiously asked, "Where are we going, back to Dongting Lake Garden?"

In the car, the proximity seemed to become narrow all of a sudden. Jinxia suddenly felt a bit nervous; this ride with Mr. Sheng felt different from previous ones.

It was likely because... Could it really be time to discuss marriage?

Sheng Yan shook his head, "No, we’re heading to the cinema."

Jinxia curiously asked, "What are we doing at the cinema? Watching a movie?"

Sheng Yan: "Yes, we’re going on a date."

Jinxia looked at Sheng Yan with novelty: "It’s rare to hear the word ’date’ from you. Finally taking me somewhere other than your company?"

Sheng Yan smiled but said nothing.

Returning to the topic, she cautiously asked, "Will there be a lot of people in the cinema? Will there be paparazzi following us? Will we be recognized?"

As public figures, they must always be cautious.

Sheng Yan pinched her cheek, "Don’t worry, leave it all to me."

Hearing this, Jinxia stopped thinking about anything else, enjoying the date with Mr. Sheng after returning to Huaxia.

Having been on the island too long, seeing towering buildings rather than vast trees, endless green jungles, or sinister caves, she felt a bit of freshness.

Arriving at the cinema, when Jinxia got off the car, she noticed the cinema was bustling with people, many lining up to buy tickets.

"Sigh, the tickets I got were for four days later!"

"Don’t even mention it, I just went to buy, and the tickets for four days later are almost sold out. Unless it’s the midnight show, but I can’t go at midnight, so I bought for five days later."

"Hurry up and buy, the fifth-day tickets will soon be sold out too. I see scalpers online selling tickets for three hundred bucks each, though the seats are pretty good!"

"’Special Action’ is really hot. Everyone says it’s really good. I came here just for this movie!"

"Yes, I came to watch this movie too. I adore the lead actor in this, so manly, totally a fresh young meat, and Jinxia’s performance surpasses any role she’s played before!"

Jinxia’s steps halted, suddenly hearing others talking about her made her feelings a bit complex.

She looked up at Sheng Yan, who wore a mask and sunglasses, covering his face thoroughly, yet somehow she felt he was smiling.

Jinxia couldn’t help but thump him lightly and dragged him aside to whisper, "Is ’Special Action’ out?"

Sheng Yan nodded, "Just released today."
