Chapter 1073: Chapter 1074: If You Want… I’m Ga
ng Zhuqing didn’t even think before saying, “Then don’t wake up.”
Tobanya was stunned, seemingly not expecting ng Zhuqing to say such a thing. After a mont, she smiled.
Although the smile was very slight, not big at all, it made her face even more breathtakingly beautiful.
“You…” He stared dumbly at her smile in the moonlight, dazzled by her beauty. At the sa ti, he didn’t know what her smile ant.
“Don’t you want to marry ? I agree to it.”
“Really?!” ng Zhuqing couldn’t believe it.
Tobanya’s smile grew a little wider, “Do I look like I’m joking?”
ng Zhuqing had never seen Tobanya smile at him like this before. He was stunned again for a mont, then he spoke softly, “It seems a bit like that, but still, I believe you.”
After a pause, his voice dropped even lower, “Only because I want to marry you.”
Tobanya stopped smiling imdiately.
ng Zhuqing imdiately grew anxious, urgently asking, “What’s wrong? Did I say sothing wrong?”
Tobanya shook her head.
ng Zhuqing let out a sigh of relief, then asked with confusion, “Then what is this…?”
“I feel sorry for you,” she said. Tobanya was no longer sitting with her knees hugged to her chest on the bed. Instead, she faced ng Zhuqing, kneeling on the bed with a straight back, her gaze level with his.
Her hand involuntarily reached for the silver mask on his face.
ng Zhuqing subconsciously dodged, then stopped dodging and just stood there, letting her hand touch his face, letting her hand touch the mask, letting her hand slowly take off the mask from his face.
“If I said that I wasn’t truly fond of you, but that it was out of gratitude… would you believe ?” she asked in a cool, soft voice while her hand caressed the scar on his face.
Without second thoughts, ng Zhuqing gave her two words, “I don’t.”
“Heh,” Tobanya laughed, “I truly am grateful to you.”
“Are you trying to hurt , or are you trying to hurt yourself?”
“I don’t know, I just wanted to say it.”
ng Zhuqing didn’t let her touch the scar on his face any longer and grasped the hand that was touching his face tightly, his gaze still locked with hers, “Our past has been too fraught with difficulty. If you want our path to continue being difficult, I’m with you. But is that really what you want?”
Tobanya was clearly smiling, but upon hearing ng Zhuqing’s words, tears instantly welled up and spilled from her eyes. She cried, “I don’t want you to marry and not have children…”
ng Zhuqing dabbed at her tears, saying, “If we have no children, then we have no children. If you really want children, when the ti cos we can adopt one, or we can go to the orphanage and adopt one as well.”
Tobanya smiled through her tears, “Did your family’s lady teach you to say that?”
ng Zhuqing coughed dryly, but honestly admitted, “I had the sa idea, I just didn’t know how to tell you. The lady taught , she said it to save from being a bachelor for life.”
“You’re so good, you won’t be a bachelor for life.”
“If I am that good, would you not want ?”
After this conversation, both fell silent.
After a while, Tobanya withdrew her hand from ng Zhuqing’s, then lay down on the bed, pulled the covers up, and closed her eyes, ready to sleep.
“I’m going to sleep, you should go back,” Tobanya said with her eyes closed, once again adopting that cold deanor.
ng Zhuqing didn’t leave but simply asked, “Will you regret what you said tonight, tomorrow?”
