Elder Xi knew when to step back, so he nodded . "Alright, this should be your decision anyway . Grandfather believes in both of you . "
"Thank you . " Mubai replied with a smile, appreciative of his grandfather's understanding . Xinghe looked at Mubai, her eyes seemed to speak of her appreciation as well . She appreciated his understanding of her refusal, without demanding a reason from her .
Mubai grabbed her hand and leaned in and whispered in her ear, "I'm not that generous, you'll have to explain everything to me when we get home later, okay?"
Without a valid explanation, he would not relent so easily . Staring at Xinghe, Mubai purposely gave a wicked and dangerous grin .
Xinghe merely nodded in return with a smile . She felt like she did owe him an explanation .
AdvertisementWhen they reached the Hills Residence, Mubai pulled Xinghe to the bedroom .
"Tell me, why don't you want to get married? What did you discuss with Miss Xie today?" Mubai stared at her and asked directly . He was not dumb, he knew this probably had something to do with Xie Xiaoxi . Xinghe must have found out something from her . Xinghe nodded and explained everything to him .
Mubai's face was drawn . "You really believe this doomsday talk?"
"Initially, I didn't much of it, but now, I don't think I can brush it off so easily . Ye Shen mentioned it and now Xie Xiaoxi has mentioned it, therefore, this deserves a more in-depth looking into . "
"I agree, since it seems to be related to the energy crystal which does require a lot more research," Mubai concurred .
Xinghe continued, "Therefore, I need to get to the bottom of this as soon as possible, or else I'm afraid something seriously bad might happen . It'll be too late to do anything against it then . Furthermore, I also wish to locate my mother . "
"Okay, I will help you do all that!" Mubai promised without a shred of hesitation, even though he himself hadn't completely bought into the sci-fi talk . However, if this was something she wanted to do, he would support her fully .
Xinghe was thankful of his trust and support . She hugged him and said, "When this is over, we will get married . "
Mubai shivered all over . This was the first time Xinghe actively brought up the idea of marriage .
He grabbed her shoulders, pushed her back slightly and gazed into her eyes . "You're not kidding, are you?"
Xinghe nodded . "Of course, I'm not kidding . "
"Since you've promised that, you can only marry me as long as you may live, no backsies!" Mubai demanded both childishly and proprietarily .
Xinghe couldn't help but laugh a little . "I will not, as long as you won't regret this decision . "
Mubai's face split into a broad smile . "Why would I regret the greatest decision I've ever made in my life?"
Then, he pulled her back into the hug and kissed her deeply . Earlier, his heart was crowded with fear and anxiety, but now, that had all dissipated .
He believed Xinghe to be a woman of her word . Since she had promised to marry him, then she wouldn't take it back .
Finally, he felt a heavy stone being lifted from his heart because she was finally his, he could feel his heart settle into a pool of happiness .
The more he thought about it, the more excited he got and the deeper he kissed . He wished to kiss every inch of her body, but right at that moment, Xinghe's phone rang!
