Chapter 9 Just want to be with him_1
But, the distance between them was too vast and Shen Qingcong had always suppressed the feelings in her heart.
She dared not hope, always telling herself, just treat him as a brother.
However, now, Xiao Chifeng's kiss had instantly broken through her defenses.
He gave her the chance to fantasize, leading her uncontrollably to wonder in her heart, could it be... that Big Brother Xiao also liked her?
Seeing her standing there dumbfounded, simply staring at him, Xiao Chifeng couldn't help but kiss her once more, "Silly girl, how long are you planning to stare?"
Shen Qingcong then snapped back to reality, meeting his smiling eyes, her cheeks instantly flushed red as she playfully chided with a smile, "Who's looking at you?"
It was the first time Xiao Chifeng saw Shen Qingcong's complaining yet smiling expression, so enchanting, so moving, captivating his very soul.
Looking at her eyes, sparkling as if they could speak, Xiao Chifeng felt himself becoming hopelessly infatuated.
As if bewitched by her, he could not control himself and cradled her head, leaning toward her lips, and kissed her deeply.
Shen Qingcong stiffened, unable to come back to her senses for a long time.
She could hardly believe that the wonderful thing she had fantasized about was happening so quickly!
Happily, she closed her eyes, savoring him, feeling his affection for her, feeling the deep love he hid beneath his aloof exterior.
If only... time could stop at this moment, how wonderful that would be!
From the corner of Shen Qingcong's eyes, tears of happiness slid down.
Xiao Chifeng, who was indulging in her sweetness and happiness, froze the moment he tasted her salty tears, slowly letting go of her.
He had initially thought she was crying because she hated his indiscretion towards her.
However, upon seeing her tears, yet with a smile of happiness on her face, Xiao Chifeng instantly understood her, and yet again, his heart ached for her!
This silly girl was truly clueless.
He sighed softly, holding her tightly in his embrace, and gently uttered his promise to her, "Little Congcong, I won't let you down."
He had taken care of her for three years and watched over her silently during that time.
His once cold heart had long been melted by her, without his noticing.
But as she had been too young before, he had been waiting, waiting for the day she grew up.
Today, on her eighteenth birthday, she had finally become an adult!
He didn't want to wait any longer!
He wanted her to know how he felt, to let her know that he was willing to take care of her for a lifetime, care for her, have children with her, and stay by her side forever.
Moved, Shen Qingcong replied with a soft "mm" and wrapped her arms tightly around him.
She knew very well that the gap between her and Xiao Chifeng was unthinkable.
The current her was far from worthy of him.
But she loved him, admired him, regarded him as the god of her heart; just being with him, even if only for a day, even if just for a moment, made her feel blissful and content.
In the future...
She didn't care what the future would hold, she only cherished the present, wanting to be with him.
Xiao Chifeng gently ruffled her hair and said, "Let's go! Let's head downstairs."
He got out of the car first, then walked around to her side, opening the door for Qingcong with care, shielding her head as she got out, and then took her hand tightly, leading her into the most elite private clubhouse in Sea City—Imperial Court.
It was said that the Imperial Court Clubhouse had been established for ten years and had an excellent reputation in Sea City. It was famous for being the exclusive venue for Sea City's top-level circle to dine, rest, play, and socialize.
As Xiao Chifeng led Shen Qingcong into the Imperial Court Clubhouse, they were greeted by a suave elite male striding towards them. He teased with a smile, "What an honor for us to have Young Master Xiao grace us with his presence. Truly gracing our humble establishment!"
Xiao Chifeng glared at him, "Cut the chatter. Have you prepared everything I asked for?"
The man laughed heartily, "With Young Master Xiao's orders, how could I not obey? Everything has been prepared; I guarantee your satisfaction. Oh, Young Master Xiao, aren't you going to introduce me? This beauty must be the little sister-in-law, right?"
