ntioned her family. Warmth found it interesting to hear her talk about them, especially since she knew his aunt seemed to live in Rome. Warmth couldn't help but ask more questions, but Yè Fēi Mò didn...Lin Ning was very happy, she took out five hundred yuan bills from her purse, "Can I buy you a small bag of cherry tomatoes"

The little girl smiled ingenuously, "There are too many, I don't even have enough change for one."

"It's alright, the remaining brother will buy you snacks as a gift when we meet," Lin Ning smiled, "Little girl, your mouth is so sweet."

Cai Xia Jing rolled her eyes, and finally the little girl picked a full bag of plump, red tomatoes and gave them to Lin Ning. “Big brother, big sister, our tomatoes are delicious!”

Lin Ning didn't wash either, just wiped it and forgot about it, he took one out and put it to Cai Xiaojing's mouth. She shook her head, she didn't wash, it was too dirty. Lin Ning coaxed her to speak and forced it into her mouth.

"Lin Ning!" Cai Xiaojing tapped him on the arm, but the tomato was really sweet. It was her first time eating such a small tomato, and still raw. It was indeed quite sweet and delicious.

"Big brother, it seems your girlfriend doesn't like tomatoes," the little girl said with a sweet smile.

Cai Xiaojing paused for a moment, Girlfriend

She turned her head to look at Lin Ning, who smiled brightly. The sunlight seemed to coat his face with a beautiful sheen, and his gaze held a glimmer of affection. Cai Xiaocheng looked away, her face slightly flushed.

Two people and the little girl said goodbye. Lin Ning went to wash the tomatoes and repack them.

"I didn't lie to you, did I It's delicious, right" Looking at Cai Xiajing who couldn't put down the tomato she was holding and eating happily, Lin Ning laughed smugly. He knew she would like it; this thing is sweet and sour with lots of water, most girls love it.

"Not bad, not too bad," Cai Xiaojing said. The two of them reached the bridge and parked their bicycles to the side. Cai Xiaojing sat down on the bridge railing, a gentle breeze blowing through her long, smooth hair, making it dance in the air.

Lin Ning looked at Yi by the bridge railing and asked, "How is the scenery here"

"Quite beautiful."

Farmhouse life, carefree and relaxed.

These people who live in bustling cities seem to have entered another world.

Relaxed, natural, and stress-free.

Comfortable, refreshing, and unpretentious.

While eating tomatoes and enjoying the breeze, Cai Xiaoting unconsciously finished half a bag of tomatoes. Her recently restless heart seemed to be blown away by something, gradually calming down.

The sun slowly sank below the horizon.

A crimson sun slowly sank below the horizon, painting half of the river red. On the stone bridge, only the two of them stood, their shadows stretching long and thin, reflected on the bridge deck.

Sometimes laughing, sometimes playing around, it's quite pleasant.

"What did you think of what that young girl just said" Lin Ning suddenly asked, his tall figure standing in the setting sun, with a few drops of afterglow converging in his eyes, adding a hint of heart-stopping warmth.

Cai Xiaojing was telling him about a movie, and she spoke so fast he couldn't keep up. "What did she say"

"Girlfriend!" Lin Ning said, looking straight into Cai Xiaojing's eyes, his gaze intense.

Cai Xiaojing's heart skipped a beat. She stared blankly at Lin Ning, time seemed to reverse, taking her back to their high school days. He was still a young boy, and she was a blossoming girl. Under the wisteria tree, he had said those same words before, asking her to be his girlfriend.

Time is out of place, life is out of place. After so many years of twists and turns, I have passed thousands of sails, and I am entangled with him again.

She couldn't tell true from false, right from wrong.

This is a placeholder.

When I was young, I liked someone deeply. It was a selfless love, full of giving without any ulterior motives or overthinking. I just wanted to burn brightly in my youth, offering him the best of myself, without considering the future.

When you grow up and mature, liking someone is no longer as pure as it was when you were young. You won't blindly believe everything and won't ignore the true intentions behind their actions. This is the world of adults; they weigh the returns, the gains and losses, and the effort involved.

What's more, this man had deeply hurt her when she was first experiencing love.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Cai Xiaoting avoided Lin Ning’s gaze, looking at the rippling surface of the river. Her heart was also rippling with the waves, Lin Ning, Lin Ning…

Another game, how much heart does she have left to play with him

Though she wished to fight till the end, what if she couldn't extricate herself in time What if she returned bruised and battered, with no one to pity her

Cai Xiajing smiled, jumped over the bridge railing, and said nonchalantly, "Let's go, it's getting late."

Lin Ning suddenly grabbed her arm, turned her shoulder, and pressed her against the bridge railing. Her long hair slid through the air in a graceful arc, scattering fragrance and a hazy mist. Lin Ning wrapped his long arms around her waist, intimately pulling her into his embrace.

"Don't play dumb, Xiaocheng. You know what I mean, let's date." Lin Ning said.

Lin Ning was born into the illustrious Lin family. He possessed a distinguished lineage, exceptional beauty, and remarkable intelligence. From a young age, he stood out from others, charming and free-spirited. In his world of entertainment, everyone knew Director Lin's consistent cool and efficient demeanor.

When studying, his senior and junior sisters were smitten with him. When working, many aspiring actresses, even A-list celebrities desperate for fame, would vie for his attention. Lin Ning never lacked women.

He has the capital, he's generous, and women to him are not even as valuable as his clothes.

This was the first time he wanted to pursue someone. He had known her for years and had never really thought of her in a special way. He had even jokingly flirted with her, but his impression wasn't deep.

However, in recent half a year, he had been paying special attention to her.

Every move, every expression of joy, anger, sadness or happiness was closely observed. For the first time, I felt an urge to understand the inner world of a woman.

Lin Ning had always only looked at a woman's face and figure, paying little attention to anything else. Cai Xiaojing was special.

Lin Dao believed he had women figured out. Cai Xiaojing, however, was a puzzle to him. She would be warm and intimate one moment, then distant the next. This inconsistency left Lin Ning bewildered. He'd originally planned to take his time pursuing her.

However, Tang Shuwen got married. Ye Feimo emailed him that he and Wen Nuan were also getting married.

He was ten years older than them, had always been a bachelor, but now seeing his brothers pairing off, he too yearned for a woman by his side, to spend every day with.

So he decided not to waste any more time with Cai Xiaojing.

"Lin Ning, are you joking" Cai Xiaojing's heart pounded like a deer in the headlights. Reason and emotion seemed to be separated into two different realms. No matter how flustered she felt, reason always remained aloof, looking down at her chaotic emotions with a cool head, sending out a signal of calm as she met his gaze with an impassive face.

She knew she should agree to him, agree to him, and then dump him harshly afterward, just to get even.

Also let him know that women are not to be messed with, they're not something he can just pursue and discard as he pleases.

"I'm serious," Lin Ning said, the cold beauty was nervous. He had directed so many love films, for the first time he lost control, "What do you mean"during prime time are all about showering viewers with intimate scenes. Otherwise, there wouldn't be a market.” Lin Ning shook her head, severely disheartening Mo Xiaobai.Ye Fei mo narrowed his eyes,...
