Chapter 239: Don't You Want Me to Stay?_2

"But..."

Meng Wanning hesitated for a moment, but still voiced the doubt in her heart, "Did you really just come to talk business? Why come to Kaiyang, and why show up here?"

Chen Cheng looked at Meng Wanning, his eyes twinkling with amusement as he countered, "What do you hope I came here to do?"

His tone was teasing, yet it quickened Meng Wanning's heartbeat.

She didn't know how to respond, only lowering her head and whispering softly, "I don't know..."

"Do you believe in fate?" Chen Cheng asked.

Meng Wanning looked up, nodded, then shook her head, and nodded again.

"I wasn't a believer at first," Chen Cheng paused, "until I met you here."

Meng Wanning's heart skipped a beat.

What did he mean by that? Was he implying something?

Meng Wanning dared not think deeper; she feared she might be reading too much into it.

"I..." She opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.
