Chapter 788 - I Want You, Right Now (1)

Shen Yuechuan knew what Xiao Yunyun was talking about.

Instead of putting the ring on Xiao Yunyun’s finger, he put away the jewelry box.

With her hand being stiff, Xiao Yunyun looked like a little animal that had been suddenly pricked. She looked at Shen Yuechuan blankly with her almond-shaped eyes full of innocence.

Seeing that, Shen Yuechuan’s heart stung. He reached out to Xiao Yunyun and said, “Come here, fool.”

Xiao Yunyun thought for a while and still obediently snuggled into Shen Yuechuan’s arms.

“How could he not put the ring on her finger? I’ll listen to his explanation first before giving him a bite. Humph!”

Shen Yuechuan rubbed Xiao Yunyun’s hair and said, “Before you proposed to me, I had never considered marrying you—Yunyun, I don’t dare.”

Xiao Yunyun was stunned. She looked up at Shen Yuechuan’s handsome and charming face in confusion. “Why?”

“At first, it’s because I thought you were really my biological sister. Later, it was because of my illness.” Shen Yuechuan’s voice was low, and there was a trace of imperceptible sadness hidden in his helplessness. “Yunyun, I think I should be satisfied with being with you. If I go further, I am afraid that I will hurt you.”

What if he repeated his father’s fate and left this world before he was 30 years old? What qualifications did he have to own Xiao Yunyun completely?

He wanted Xiao Yunyun, wanted to marry her, and wanted to be with her legally. But if he died of illness, all this would eventually become harmful to Xiao Yunyun.

Xiao Yunyun was in the prime of her life, and he shouldn’t leave too deep marks in her life.

In this way, even if he finally had to leave, Xiao Yunyun could live a normal life in the future.

Only then did Xiao Yunyun realize that since she was with him, Shen Yuechuan had been careful and had been weighing how to minimize the harm to her.

However, she didn’t need him to be so thoughtful. He was fine now, and the worst thing might not happen!

She wanted Shen Yuechuan to be as unrestrained as she was!

Xiao Yunyun wrapped her arms around Shen Yuechuan’s waist, rested her face on his chest, and said, “I’m not afraid. Yuechuan, even if we’re really biological siblings, even if you’re seriously ill, I’m not afraid. So, you don’t have to consider so much for me.”

Shen Yuechuan knew that she was not afraid, but he couldn’t choose to be selfish just because Xiao Yunyun was not afraid.

“Fool.” Shen Yuechuan kissed the top of Xiao Yunyun’s head. “How did you come up with the idea of proposing to me?”

If she wanted to get married, she could give him a hint. He would definitely understand.

But why did she take the initiative to propose?

Xiao Yunyun would not tell him the real reason.

She rolled her eyes a few times and finally thought of a “Xiao Yunyun-style” reason, “Because… I wanted to! I can do whatever I want in my way. There’s no special reason!”

Her pause for half a second had already told Shen Yuechuan that the reason was not as simple as she said.

How could he lead the little girl to tell the truth?

Xiao Yunyun realized that she had revealed herself. She was afraid of being further questioned by Shen Yuechuan, so she took the initiative to ask, “What do you think? Was it a surprise?”

Shen Yuechuan sighed and said, “Actually, it’s shocking instead.”

Xiao Yunyun glared at Shen Yuechuan and almost jumped out of his arms.

She was a girl after all. Did Shen Yuechuan know how much courage she had gathered to propose to him in front of so many people?

How could he say that he was shocked with an innocent look?

Seeing that the little girl was about to blow up, Shen Yuechuan decisively kissed her on the lips first.

She was in his arms. He only needed to hold up her chin and lower his head before tasting her sweetness.

Every time he woke up after an attack of his illness, Shen Yuechuan’s brain seemed to have been emptied of memory. It would take a long time for him to regain his memory.

However, he probably would not forget Xiao Yunyun’s soft and sweet lips for the rest of his life.

Xiao Yunyun was a little confused. Wasn’t Shen Yuechuan shocked by her? Why did he kiss her?

“How can he pretend to be innocent when he has taken advantage of me?”

What’s more, she was so angry, but when Shen Yuechuan kissed her, she went soft and almost fell into his arms.

“Don’t I have the backbone?”

Xiao Yunyun was even angrier. She pushed Shen Yuechuan away and said, “Make it clear! Why wouldn’t you put the ring on my finger? Why did you say that you were shocked by me?”

Shen Yuechuan raised the corners of his mouth and leisurely changed the subject. “There was one more thing yesterday. I think you would be more likely to know it.”

As expected, Xiao Yunyun’s attention was largely diverted. She asked curiously, “What is it?”

“Yunyun, you were very beautiful yesterday.” Shen Yuechuan looked at Xiao Yunyun, and there was a touch of unconcealable obsession in his eyes. “In addition to being shocked by your proposal, I was more amazed by you.”

Xiao Yunyun never had any idea about her appearance. She was just good at identifying handsome men.

However, she had to admit that she was a little happy to amaze Shen Yuechuan.

But Xiao Yunyun didn’t show her happiness. She pouted and said, “Since you were amazed by me, why don’t you put the ring on my finger?”

“…” Shen Yuechuan still did not move.

Xiao Yunyun was really anxious and said incoherently, “You promised me yesterday, and I also promised you! Shen Yuechuan, you can’t go back on your word!”

She looked anxious and grieved and seemed to be about to cry at any time.

However, how could Shen Yuechuan bear to see her cry?

Shen Yuechuan put Xiao Yunyun’s hand in his palm and gently rubbed it.

After thinking for a while, he said, “Yunyun, I want to marry you. But I can’t marry you when I’m seriously ill. Yesterday, I was taken to the bar by Boyan. After hearing you say that you wanted to marry me, do you know what I thought?”

“I don’t know.” Xiao Yunyun honestly shook her head and then asked, “What were you thinking?”

Shen Yuechuan said, “As I said just now, I had a lot of concerns. But after seeing you in a formal dress, I couldn’t help imagining you wearing a wedding dress. I wanted to give it a try. Maybe I would get better soon, and you didn’t even need to know about my illness. With this fluke, I promised to marry you.”

“Also, after the incident with Lin Zhixia, I warned myself not to let you down and not to make you sad again.”

Xiao Yunyun blinked her eyes and didn’t know whether she should be happy or sad. “So, you agreed to my proposal because you didn’t want to let me down?”

“That’s just one of the reasons.” Shen Yuechuan raised his eyebrows and continued, “The most important reason is that I thought if I refused you, you would bite me on the spot.”

Xiao Yunyun stared at Shen Yuechuan for a second and abruptly grabbed his arm. “If you don’t tell me the truth now, I’ll really bite you!”

Shen Yuechuan smiled and held Xiao Yunyun in his arms. “The most important reason is that I love you and I also want to marry you. Yunyun, I wanted to gamble. I wanted to give you happiness. I didn’t expect that I would lose as soon as it started. When I collapsed, were you scared?”

After a long time, Xiao Yunyun gently replied with a sound “Hmm,” and then her eyes turned red.

The moment when Shen Yuechuan collapsed yesterday was simply a nightmare for her.

She was not afraid of anything, but she was afraid that Shen Yuechuan would leave this world and her.

When she was brought down by Shen Yuechuan, it was the first time she was so helpless and perplexed.

She imagined that there was no Shen Yuechuan in this world and found that she could not survive.

“I’m sorry.” Shen Yuechuan held Xiao Yunyun in his arms and kissed her apologetically. “Yunyun, I didn’t expect that I would drop the ball at such a critical moment.”

“I know you didn’t mean it.” Xiao Yunyun looked up at Shen Yuechuan. “But, I gave you a chance to make up for it just now. Why didn’t you put the ring on my finger?”

Shen Yuechuan didn’t expect the little girl to focus on this issue. He smiled and said, “What if I go back on my word?”

This time, Xiao Yunyun really jumped up.

Immediately, she pushed Shen Yuechuan away and glared at him. “It’s useless! You proposed to me yesterday, and I also agreed. According to the spirit of the contract, we are already engaged! If you don’t put the ring on my finger, I will wear it myself!”

After that, Xiao Yunyun reached out to grab the jewelry box, but Shen Yuechuan flexibly avoided her.

Xiao Yunyun looked at her empty hand, and a feeling of grievance welled up in her heart. She looked at Shen Yuechuan with red eyes and asked, “Do you really want to go back on your word?”

It seemed that as long as Shen Yuechuan nodded, her tears would drown the room immediately.

“Fool.” Shen Yuechuan got out of bed, walked up to Xiao Yunyun, and finally said the reason. “I’m not going back on my word. I just want to wait for me to recover and then propose to you again. Next time, I’ll make a plan to give you a surprise. Yunyun, don’t forget that you’re a girl.”

For a girl, the moment of being proposed by the man she liked was probably the most surprising moment in her life.

He wanted Xiao Yunyun to experience this kind of happiness and surprise.

Xiao Yunyun understood what Shen Yuechuan meant. She shook her head and said, “I don’t want it.”

Shen Yuechuan was surprised. “Hmm?”

Xiao Yunyun looked at him and said seriously, “I don’t want the feeling of being surprised and moved that other girls want. Shen Yuechuan, I only want you right now!”

The little girl was so resolute and bold, just like a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers. Her boldness was raw and childish, which made his heart sting.

Shen Yuechuan reminded her helplessly, “Yunyun, I’m ill. It’s not a good time for us to get married.”

“Even if you are ill, you are still you.” There was a look of determination in Xiao Yunyun’s clear almond-shaped eyes. “Yuechuan, I don’t know what will happen in the future, but I want you, whether you are ill or healthy! You appeared in my life first, so I can’t like anyone else; hence you must be responsible for me! Don’t use your body condition as a reason to refuse me. I will despise you!”

Shen Yuechuan touched Xiao Yunyun’s head. “Are you a fool?”

Xiao Yunyun snorted and poked Shen Yuechuan’s head. “A beautiful woman personally comes to you and wants to marry you, but you’re trying to refuse her. You’re the fool!”

Shen Yuechuan suddenly asked seriously, “Yunyun, are you really willing to marry me in such a situation?”

“Yes!” Xiao Yunyun replied without thinking about it. “I will always say yes even if you ask me ten thousand more times!”
