However, the distance between them was too vast, and Shen Qingcong had always suppressed his inner feelings.
She didn't dare to hope and kept telling herself that she should treat him like her big brother.
But now, Xiao Chifeng's kiss had broke open her defenses in an instant.
He gave her the chance to fantasize, uncontrollably making her wonder, could it be...Brother Xiao also liked her?
Seeing her standing there dumbfounded, staring blankly at him, Xiao Chifeng couldn't help but kiss her again, "Little silly, how long were you going to stand there staring?"
Only then did Shen Qingcong come back to her senses, looking up to meet his smiling eyes. Her cheeks flushed in an instant, and she complained with a playful smile, "Who said I was watching you?"
It was the first time for Xiao Chifeng to see Shen Qingcong looking upset yet laughing, so charming, so moving, so captivating.
Looking at her bright eyes seeming as if they were talking, Xiao Chifeng could feel his heart gradually being captivated.
As if dazzled by her, he couldn't help holding her head, targeting her lips, and planting a deep kiss on them.
Shen Qingcong stiffened, taking a long time to recover.
She could hardly believe how quickly her fantasized things were happening!
She blissfully closed her eyes, feeling him, sensing his feelings for her, and the deep love hidden under his indifference.
How wonderful it would be if time could stay still at this moment!
Shen Qingcong's eyes welled up with tears of happiness.
Xiao Chifeng, intoxicated in her sweetness and beauty, stopped abruptly when he tasted her salty tears. He slowly let go of her.
He had thought that she was crying because she resented his frivolousness.
When he saw the happy smile on her tear-streaked face, Xiao Chifeng immediately understood her. Yet, he couldn't help but feel sympathy for her!
What a silly girl!
He sighed lightly, holding her tightly in his arms, gently expressing his commitment to her, "Little Congcong, I won't let you down!"
He had taken care of her for three years and observed her silently in secret during the same time.
Her cold, hard heart was unknowingly melted by her.
She was too young before, and he was waiting for the day she grows up.
Today, it's her eighteenth birthday, she's finally grown up!
He didn't want to wait anymore!
He wanted her to know his feelings, to let her know that he was willing to take care of her for life, cater for her, start a family with her, and stay with her forever.
Moved, Shen Qingcong lightly responded, "Hmm," and hugged him back.
She was very clear in her heart about the distance between her and Xiao Chifeng was too far apart.
She was far from a worthy match for him.
But she loved him, admired him, considered him her idol. As long as she could be with him, even for just a day or a moment, she would feel happy and content.
As for the future...
She didn't care what the future would be like, she only cherished the present and wanted to be with him.
Xiao Chifeng stretched out his hand to gently rub her head, "Let's go! We should head down!"
He got out of the car first, then walked around to the front, opened the car door for Qingcong, carefully shielding her head with his hand as she got out of the car, then tightly held her hand, leading her into the most top-level private clubhouse in Sea City – the Imperial Court.
It is said that the Imperial Court private clubhouse has been established for ten years and has a great reputation in Sea City. It is also the most famous and serves only those in the very top echelon for dining, resting, entertainment, parties and other social activities.
As Xiao Chifeng lead Shen Qingcong into the Imperial Court clubhouse, a charismatic businessman strode towards them and joked, "Xiao, your presence really graces our club!"
Xiao Chifeng gave him a glare, "Cut the crap, have you prepared everything I asked for?"
The man laughed out loud, "Xiao gave the command, who dares not to obey? Everything's already set up to your satisfaction. Oh man, Xiao, aren't you going to introduce? This beautiful lady must be my sister-in-law, right?"
