Chapter 2176: Shrinking Into a Shell to Protect Oneself

?    Shui Qianqian loves Rong Jin in her heart. This kind of gentle voice is something she had never thought of before.

She used to think that as long as Rong Jin was not so indifferent to her and his attitude was a little better, it would be fine. But she didn't expect that one day he would treat her so gently.

And he would say such nice words.

No, wait, he said in the future? "Rong Jin, you...what do you mean?"

"Qianqian, I am your fiancé, we already have an engagement, and I am not young anymore, almost thirty, will you marry me?"

Shui Qianqian was stunned for a while and couldn't react. No matter how she tried Rong Jin before, no matter how she asked him, he didn't agree.

But at this time, such a sentence suddenly popped up, which made Shui Qianqian think more.

"Rong Jin, we are responsible for emotional matters, but I hope that my future marriage will be mutually agreeable."

Rong Jin looked at Shui Qianqian with some sorrow, and said deeply: "Qianqian, don't you understand? Don't you understand my heart?"

Shui Qianqian was no longer sleepy at this time. She took a few deep breaths and sighed: "Rong Jin, you don't have to lie to me."

Shui Qianqian closed her eyes after saying that. She didn't want to see or hear. She was afraid that she would be confused and intoxicated for a while and lose her instinctive rational reaction.

Instinct told Shui Qianqian that Rong Jin was not normal at this time. If it was normal, he would never say such words.

And she didn't believe that Rong Jin would confide in her just because of their impulse this time.

She didn't believe it.

Because she had deceived herself for several years and didn't wait for Rong Jin's response, did she believe it now?

She had told herself long ago that she couldn't be too sentimental, so Shui Qianqian instinctively escaped at this time, just like a turtle, locked in her protective shell.

Rong Jin looked at Shui Qianqian and knew that she would not believe anything he said now.

He had a self-deprecating arc at the corner of his mouth. Who could he blame? He could only blame himself. He had treated her badly before, not given her enough sense of security, and not let her build trust in him.

Rong Jin looked at Shui Qianqian's tired look and did not dare to force her anymore. He knew that no matter what he said now, it might be useless. He could only hold her like this.

Rong Jin gently held Shui Qianqian,

and lay down, covering the two of them with a blanket.

He knew that Shui Qianqian was tired and needed a nap.

"Go to sleep, I'll accompany you."

Rong Jin said gently and kissed Shui Qianqian on the forehead. It felt very solid to hold her in his arms like this. As long as she didn't avoid him, he would definitely let her belong to him.

He would treat her well and make up for it. He would give her whatever she wanted and present the best things to her.

Make her happy and make her laugh.

At this time, Rong Jin just wanted to pamper Shui Qianqian.

Although he knew it was a little late, it was not too late for him to discover the truth of all this.

Thinking of everything in the past, Rong Jin covered his chest, feeling very painful, but fortunately Qianqian was still by his side, in his arms.

He dared not think of anything else. If she had been expelled from Country M that year, if she had just died in a foreign country, Rong Jin would not be able to bear it at all. Fortunately, she was still in his arms.

"Qianqian, I was wrong before, I will make you trust me."

Shui Qianqian felt very bitter when she heard these words. It would be a lie to say that she was not moved, but she had been sad too many times. Forgive her cowardice, she dared not do it anymore. She instinctively shrank into a shell to protect herself.
