Chapter 45: Chapter 45: Keep Up the Good Work and Bare One’s Heart

Wang Pandi drank several sips of water and felt better in her throat before she put down the porcelain mug, then looked up at Yang Zhigang sitting across from her.

Her eyes collided with a pair of dark eyes, “You, what are you going to do…” Wang Pandi was startled by his eyes and stammered as she spoke.

Yang Zhigang’s eyes flashed with deep affection, looking at her tenderly, he smiled innocently and said, “What could I do, I just want to look at you, never get tired of watching. Since I watched your back leaving that day, I’ve regretted it…”

“Ah?” Wang Pandi’s body involuntarily tensed, her palms clenched, her eyes unblinking at him, her breathing slowed significantly.

Yang Zhigang didn’t make her wait long and gave an answer, “I regret not sending you directly home, directly proposing to your aunt and uncle, directly setting things in stone, confirming our relationship, letting you become my wife rightfully.”

“What nonsense are you talking about? We’ve only known each other for one day, only met once.” Wang Pandi, blushing and with a racing heart, softly refuted.

“Once is enough, you’ve already moved into my heart.” Yang Zhigang spoke sweetly, appearing relaxed, though his hand on his knee was already sweaty.

He was actually very nervous and had practiced these words countless times in his mind.

“I don’t believe it.” Wang Pandi pouted unhappily, “You lied to me then…”

Here it comes, sigh…

Yang Zhigang said innocently, “Did I? What did I lie to you about?”

“You lied to me… lied to me…” Wang Pandi was momentarily speechless. Yes, what did he lie about… it was she who had startled herself and then denied his identity, even divulged her own secrets to him willingly… sigh, it really infuriated her.

Wang Pandi, deflated, stubbornly argued, “You lied to me about many things and didn’t proactively admit your mistakes.”

“I was wrong.” Yang Zhigang immediately admitted, “It was all my fault.”

“Then tell me, what were you wrong about?” Wang Pandi saw how easily he admitted his mistakes, and couldn’t resist arrogantly pressing him.

Yang Zhigang sighed, annoyed, “I was wrong that when I heard you wanted to date me, I should have seized the opportunity and immediately admitted that I wanted you, determining you as my wife.”

“Yang Zhigang!” Wang Pandi abruptly stood up and turned to leave, “I don’t want to talk to you anymore…”

What is there to talk about, shameless.

“Pandi, don’t go…” Yang Zhigang stood up immediately upon seeing this and grabbed her hand, imploring.

His slightly rough hand held tightly onto her delicate wrist, their skin touching, both involuntarily trembled.

Wang Pandi halted, her thoughts entirely consumed by the sensation on her wrist, feeling the hot burn at her wrist, she panicked, “Let go, what are you doing.”

“I won’t let go, hit me if you’re angry.” Yang Zhigang pulled her hand towards his chest to slap, although the force wasn’t much; he was afraid his hard body would hurt her hand.

Her small hand lightly hit his chest, and through the thin fabric, Wang Pandi felt his burning chest muscles.

Instinctively, she retracted her hand slightly, embarrassed and angry, “Enough, are you tickling me? Let go of my hand.”

“Then… you hit me yourself; I’ll find you a ruler. I’m afraid of hurting your hand.” As he spoke, he reluctantly let go of her hand, went to the desk, and literally found a ruler to hand to her.

At this moment, Wang Pandi felt indescribably complex; she took the ruler from him but just looked down, uncertain of her thoughts.

Yang Zhigang watched her expression intently; seeing she didn’t strike, he tentatively spoke, “If you don’t hit, I’ll take it as you forgiving me, then… from today on, you’re my girlfriend, my fiancée, my wife.”

Wang Pandi, hearing this, glared at him fiercely, “Wishful thinking.” With uncontrolled emotions, she swung the ruler and hit his arm… “snap”

“Ah…” Yang Zhigang cried out in surprise, frowning in pain, yet stubbornly said, “Go ahead, hit hard, once you’re done, you’ll have to acknowledge it. You’re my wife!”

Originally, seeing his cry, Wang Pandi’s heart wavered, silently wondering if she’d really hit too hard and hurt him. But upon hearing his rogue words, she was so angry she wished she could beat him to death…

She waved the ruler menacingly, threateningly, “Say one more word, and I’ll beat you to death.”

However, Yang Zhigang only looked at her with a smile, eyes full of indulgence, and gestured for her to hit, inviting her to…

Wang Pandi was truly driven to tears by him, throwing away the ruler, squatting down and crying.

Yang Zhigang immediately panicked, “Pandi, what’s wrong? Pandi… I’m sorry…” He anxiously moved in to hold her…

Wang Pandi twisted her body to avoid it, but how could a woman outmatch a man. She acted impulsively, squatted down, and sobbed twice, already regretting it, but alas, it was hard to step back…

Not wanting him to see her expression, she conveniently buried herself in his chest, fake crying and accusing, “You bullied me… boo hoo…”

“I didn’t, I dare not, I’m sorry…” Yang Zhigang kept apologizing, his expression slightly contorted, both distressed and delighted…

The warmth and fragrance in his arms, he embraced the little girl.

Through the thin layer of clothing, he felt the unique softness and scent of a girl, his iron arms wanting to squeeze her into himself, yet he had to restrain his heart not to offend her. It was torturous…

Having skin-to-skin contact, she was truly his wife now, his heart especially satisfied, his face unconsciously revealing a silly grin.

Fortunately, Wang Pandi buried in his chest didn’t see his expression, or else she’d be jumping mad.

“You did bully me; I don’t have the face to see anyone…” Wang Pandi was most regretful for confessing her feelings to him, feeling ashamed and unable to face him.

With today’s actions, both his vows and behavior decidedly demonstrated his attitude; he liked her, wanted to build a family with her, and live together for a lifetime.

In truth, she too gradually accepted him in her heart, only needing a step back…

“It’s my fault, wife, I won’t bully you anymore; you’ll bully me from now on.” Yang Zhigang emitted bubbles of joy, sensing her softened attitude.

Wang Pandi murmured, “Really?”

“Really.” Yang Zhigang answered adamantly.

“Hmm…”

That day, nearing evening, Yang Zhigang finally walked Wang Pandi home, carrying a small basket of cherries, a bag of walnut pastries, and two bottles of wine, stepping into the Wang Family’s door.

Wang Pandi followed behind him, looking shy, and as soon as she got home, she ran into the kitchen to hide.

Wang Miaomiao felt a pang in her heart, her sister was about to be taken by a wolf.

Liu Yulan had already explained everything to Wang Baoxing. Seeing the state of the two, it was clear that the marriage proposal succeeded.
