Chapter 987: Chapter 987: Do you like me? Chapter 987: Chapter 987: Do you like me? His eyes darkened, “Even if you don’t understand me, how could you so easily give up your career for me? Hai Lan, your agreement to marry me… was it out of helplessness?”

Asking this question, Wen Jingheng immediately felt very oppressed.

He was worried that Hai Lan had agreed to marry him on a whim. He was afraid that her consent was merely because she had just experienced a betrayal, perhaps with a deeply wounded heart, having lost trust in men. And because he happened to appear, she casually agreed to him.

If that was the case, it would mean she didn’t like him and felt no security with him.

Hai Lan’s eyes flickered; she naturally understood the implicit meaning in Wen Jingheng’s words.

“No…” she said softly in explanation, “I’ve never thought about giving up my career for anyone, acting is optional for me. I used to act to earn money to pay off debts, so it doesn’t matter to me whether I can act in the future or not. If I marry you and am no longer suited to acting, then I’ll just quit and do something else. Because I know that in anything, there are always trade-offs; weighed between you and acting, I find you more important.”

Wen Jingheng was stunned, “I’m more important?”

Hai Lan smiled and nodded, “Yes, I can have many careers, but a husband like you, there’s only one. Of course, you’re more important than acting!”

The gloom that had been in Wen Jingheng’s heart just moments before instantly turned to the sunshine of spring, so brilliant!

The laughter also seeped into his bright, dark eyes, “So you didn’t agree to marry me out of desperation?”

Hai Lan laughed, “If I didn’t want to marry you, no one could force me!”

“Do you like me?” Wen Jingheng slightly pursed his lips, asking in a husky voice. He had never asked this question before; he didn’t dare, he was afraid…

He feared a negative answer from Hai Lan as well as her silence.

Hai Lan thought seriously for a moment, “At first I didn’t like you, but gradually I developed a fondness for you, and anyway, I felt you were a very good person, and now…”

Under Wen Jingheng’s expectant gaze, Hai Lan playfully smiled, “Of course, I like you, I wouldn’t have agreed to marry you otherwise.”

Wen Jingheng immediately smiled broadly.

He hugged Hai Lan tight, his forehead against hers, his eyes brilliantly blazing with warmth.

“Hai Lan, I like you too, very much…” he murmured tenderly and affectionately as he lowered his gaze to kiss her lips, lightly savoring the gentle kiss…

Hai Lan instinctively struggled, “Be careful, we might be seen.”

“No one’s here…” As Wen Jingheng was about to deepen the kiss, suddenly the sound of footsteps approached.

Startled, Hai Lan pushed him away quickly, feigning nonchalance.

Yet it seemed the newcomer had already seen their intimate interaction and stood frozen on the spot, staring at them dumbfounded.

Wen Jingheng looked towards the person, and he too was taken aback!

The reactions of both didn’t escape Hai Lan’s notice, and she looked curiously at the person standing opposite them.

It was a tall woman, also about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old.

She wore a white woolen coat, her long hair softly draped, her slightly seductive, big eyes flashing with complex emotions as she looked at Wen Jingheng.

Wen Jingheng also looked at her with complicated eyes, but soon, his gaze became cold, serene, and undisturbed.

“Jingheng, long time no see.” The woman suddenly spoke up to greet him, her smile strained, “Is this your girlfriend?”
