Chapter 374 - 287: Ji Qianlan’s Exclusive Training
Lin Lang jumped out of the Cultivation Space.
He returned to Xina’s bedroom, ready to rest.
As soon as he got into bed.
Xina’s body unknowingly snuggled over, murmuring Lin Lang’s name as if she were a little girl missing a sense of security.
Lin Lang then held her in his arms.
Xina finally slept peacefully.
...
The next morning!
The morning light gently streamed through the thin curtains, casting softly over the bed.
Lin Lang gradually woke up, his drowsy eyes slowly focusing, and saw Xina lying on her side, gazing intently at him.
Xina’s hair casually scattered on the pillow, with a few stray strands lying beside her fair cheek, like a serene and lovely painting.
Her deep blue eyes were filled with love and longing. Seeing Lin Lang awake, there was a barely discernible trace of sadness in her eyes.
Lin Lang’s mouth unconsciously curved into a faint smile, with a touch of morning laziness and hoarseness, he asked softly:
"What are you looking at?"
Xina gently bit her lower lip and said:
"Lin Lang, I have to say, I regret it..."
Her voice was like a gentle sigh, yet in this quiet morning, it seemed particularly clear.
Curiosity stirred in Lin Lang’s heart, his previously sleepy eyes slightly widened.
He propped himself up, resting his head on one hand, looking at Xina with tender eyes, and asked:
"What do you regret?"
Could she regret becoming his woman?
This was rare—
Because Lin Lang believed, in these days they’ve been together, he hadn’t wronged her in any way!
And Xina took a deep breath, as if gathering all her strength.
Her eyes held both expectation and tension as she looked directly into Lin Lang’s eyes and said:
"If I say, now I want you to take responsibility... can you marry me?"
After saying this, her cheeks turned instantly hot, as dazzlingly red as the brilliant sunset in the sky.
Her hands unconsciously gripped the corner of the quilt tightly, nervously waiting for Lin Lang’s response—
She was originally a carefree and uninhibited Western woman.
Perhaps even she hadn’t thought!
That there would be a day she would propose to an Eastern man!
Lin Lang, hearing her words, wasn’t surprised, and his smile grew warmer.
He reached out, gently cupping Xina’s face, his thumb tenderly caressing her flushed cheek and said softly:
"You’re already in my heart, isn’t that enough?"
His eyes were full of deep emotion, and his brief words were filled with endless tenderness and promise.
It wasn’t a direct answer.
However!
For such a clever reply, Xina was not disappointed.
Because she herself knew—
How could a man like Lin Lang possibly marry him as his only lifelong partner?
She asked merely for a psychological comfort!
But!
After hearing Lin Lang’s response, her previously tense expression instantly relaxed—
That’s good!
At least Lin Lang didn’t say impractical words to deceive her!
This way is best, everyone is relaxed!
So her lips curved into a happy smile.
Then she reached out, gently tapping Lin Lang’s chest, playfully teased:
"Your mouth is so sweet, I wonder how many girls you’ve charmed?"
"This needs a detailed explanation."
Lin Lang laughed, grabbing her hand and pulling her into his embrace, and they cuddled on the bed once again.
The room echoed with their laughter, filled with warmth and sweetness, as if the entire world was immersed in this beautiful moment.
...
Soon.
Lin Lang and Xina got out of bed, tidied their clothes, and walked out of the bedroom, faces full of satisfied smiles.
At this moment.
The living room was bathed in the gentle morning light, painting the whole space in soft colors.
Little Mermaid Zhi Xi was already awake, sitting on the sofa.
One hand held the imported cookies Lin Lang gave her, crunching them in her mouth.
The other hand tightly clutched her phone, staring at the screen with focus!
The phone screen brightly displayed!
She was searching—
[A Few Tricks to Make a Man Fall for You!]
Zhi Xi was immersed in her own world, completely unaware that Lin Lang and Xina had come out.
Until Lin Lang’s slightly amused voice came:
"Zhi Xi, what are you looking at?"
Only then did she snap out of it, like a startled fawn, hurriedly closing her phone.
Her face immediately turned crimson, her eyes flickered, with a guilty expression.
Lin Lang saw Zhi Xi’s reaction and thought it was a bit strange, and asked her again:
"Why up so early?"
Zhi Xi shyly lowered her head as if it was about to touch her chest, her voice small like a mosquito’s buzz:
"Couldn’t sleep..."
Once she finished speaking, she seemed to have oil under her feet and dashed to the bathtub, with a splash plunged into the water, creating small rippling waves, as if this could hide her earlier embarrassment.
Xina watched Zhi Xi’s amusing appearance and couldn’t help but laugh:
"Did Little Fish do something bad?"
"I did not!"
Little Mermaid’s voice came from the bathtub.
Lin Lang also laughed.
...
Lin Lang took out a lavish breakfast from the Space.
On the dining table, there were exquisite bread, aromatic coffee, and fresh fruit, all emitting a tempting fragrance.
He and Xina sat across from each other, enjoying breakfast while softly chatting.
Occasionally, they exchanged smiles, and the air was suffused with a sweet and delightful atmosphere.
After breakfast.
Xina stood up, tidied her clothes, and gave Lin Lang a gentle kiss on the cheek, tenderly saying:
