She had no other choice but to give up struggling and leaned against his chest, "You say you love me, then if I ask you for something, will you give it to me?"
Huo Jingting nodded, "You tell me."
Gu Nanqiao lifted her gaze, meeting his eyes, and said seriously, "I want Jinjue."
At first, she thought he left her for the company, and now, she doubted that "thought" and needed to prove it somehow.
If he was unwilling, then whatever the so-called truth was, she felt there was no need to know it anymore.
Huo Jingting paused, not answering immediately.
Gu Nanqiao's heartbeat involuntarily quickened. At that moment, she couldn't even be clear about whether she hoped he would refuse or agree.
Seeing his prolonged silence, she spoke again, her tone laced with a touch of sarcasm, "What, can't bear to part with it?"
"No," the man shook his head in denial, his hands crossing over her waist, "I'm just a bit surprised; I didn't expect you to ask for this."
