Chapter 222 Winning Her Heart

Zhong Lingxi's voice was as soft as a mosquito's buzz, but Ji Yubai still heard every single word clearly.

He stood ramrod straight, his mind blank, unsure of the correct response.

At the end of the journey, there was an unexpected surprise: through his own efforts, he finally got to sleep in Lingxi's bed.

Zhong Ling was pleased to see that he hadn't moved yet, so she let go of the hand that was holding his clothes.

"You... I was just thinking that sleeping on the floor is too hard, and I might stiffen my shoulders and get a headache. That's not what I meant."

Ji Yubai felt unwell in the afternoon, mostly because he had been sleeping on a mat on the floor. Uncomfortable sleeping and lack of rest naturally led to a headache.

Upon hearing this, Ji Yubai was overjoyed; Lingxi was now showing concern for him.

He quickly crawled into Zhong Lingxi's bed, afraid that if he was too slow, Lingxi would change her mind and not allow him to sleep in the bed.

"I know what you mean. I'm already very content to be able to sleep next to you." Ji Yubai's voice was filled with barely suppressed excitement.

Zhong Ling said with a smile, "The way you're saying that makes it sound like I'm abusing you."

"No, I'm doing this willingly. The distance between us is already very close. I've said before that I have plenty of time and patience to wait for you to discover my good qualities and fall in love with me."

Zhong Lingxi bit her lip; she had never told Ji Yubai about her love for him.

Today, she witnessed a couple who were very good at expressing their love and were inseparable.

In private, Camille's dependence on and affection for her boyfriend is nothing like that of a decisive and capable career woman.

While she was deeply moved, she gained a deeper understanding of love.

Because we like someone, we want to express it. Love is both language and action.

Therefore, she also wanted to tell Ji Yubai her true feelings.

Actually, I've already fallen in love with you.

"What?" Ji Yubai excitedly rolled over, facing Zhong Lingxi as she lay down. "You said you love me? When did this start?"

"The day you suddenly left, I felt empty inside, as if something was missing. I thought to myself, I can't lose someone as wonderful as you. I need to wash away all the dirt and become a fragrant person."

"So, you just took a shower all night." Bringing up the old story still hurt Ji Yubai deeply. "Are you stupid?!"

He wanted to hold her in his arms, but he was afraid that Ling might not like it, so he silently clenched his fists, not letting the impulsive thought go.

"It wasn't even one night, was it?" Zhong Lingxi puffed out her cheeks, feeling guilty.

"Lingxi, you must remember, I love you, and I like the feeling of being with you."

Ji Yubai was eager to express his feelings for Zhong Lingxi, and incoherent words came out of his mouth.

“I hate the person who hurt you, not you. What did you do wrong? You were also deceived. Don’t put pressure on yourself.”

"I don't know how to prove to you that what I care about has never been that membrane. That thing is unimportant. I only care whether you love me as much as I do, and whether you feel happy and content when you are with me?"

Zhong Lingxi, who had been enjoying the journey, suddenly burst into tears. Her soft sobs struck Ji Yubai's heart.

He was at a loss and panicked. "Did I say something wrong again? Don't cry. If you don't like it, I'll take it all back. Please, don't cry, it hurts me."

Ji Yubai pulled up his sleeve and gently wiped away her tears, repeatedly apologizing and begging her to stop crying.

Even Zhong Lingxi's strong will melted into tenderness in Ji Yubai's anxious yet gentle words.

She sobbed, "I'm not angry, and I don't dislike it. I'm just too happy, too happy to be crying, you know?"

Ji Yubai was stunned, then burst into tears of joy.

He learned more about Zhong Lingxi; she would cry when she was happy.

"Okay, I understand. Go ahead and cry, I'll wipe your tears."

"Pfft..." Zhong Lingxi couldn't help but laugh. "You know that people are crying because they are happy, yet you still make them cry. Do you think the more they cry, the happier you are? You are so funny."

"I only try to make you happy, not everyone is funny." His cautiousness and clumsiness only appeared when he was with Zhong Lingxi.

Zhong Lingxi said coquettishly, "I know."

After being coaxed for a while, Zhong Lingxi fell asleep with Ji Yubai patting her under the covers.

Because of Zhong Lingxi's words "I love you," Ji Yubai fell asleep sweetly, as if he were holding a honey pot.

The next day, Zhong Lingxi and Ji Yubai acted as if they hadn't heard anything, and after having breakfast with Camille, they said goodbye and left.

Zhong Lingxi expressed her gratitude to Camille in the French she had just learned, "Camille, thank you for your hospitality."

Camille beamed and gently embraced Zhong Lingxi. There was a secret, thankfully Zhong Lingxi didn't understand French, otherwise it wouldn't have been able to be kept from her.

She is the one who should thank Zhong Lingxi.

If it weren't for Zhong Lingxi, why would Ji Yubai have agreed to let her walk the runway at next winter's new product launch?

It turns out that during our chat last night...

Ji Yubai made a spur-of-the-moment decision: since he was already in France, he decided to run into Camille on a romantic street.

This is a great opportunity.

The two of them, speaking in French which Zhong Lingxi couldn't understand, talked about the wedding dress and suit they would wear when they got married, right in front of Zhong Lingxi.

Camille hadn't designed anything herself for many years, but Ji Yubai had a request. In exchange, if Ji Yubai walked the runway for Camille's new collection, she would design a complete set of wedding dresses, gowns, and jewelry for Ji Yubai and Zhong Lingxi.

People who appreciate beauty are often fond of romance.

She was naturally willing to pick up her paintbrush again to design their wedding.

Ji Yubai and Zhong Lingxi got into the car and waved goodbye to Camille.

As the car drove smoothly along the road, Zhong Lingxi couldn't help but ask Ji Yubai,

"Didn't you notice that Camille looked at me strangely this morning?"

"What's wrong?"

"Her eyes were shining, just like my colleague was excited after winning a case. It was completely different from how she looked at me yesterday."

As a lawyer, she was naturally more perceptive than the average person. However, her lack of experience left her completely baffled by this discovery.

Ji Yubai remained expressionless. "She kept praising you last night, saying you're smart, have a good personality, and even ate all the food she made. I think it's probably because your uniqueness inspired her design, which is why she was so interested in you."

"Really?" The muse of inspiration, she was a little proud.

"Otherwise, I can't explain why her attitude changed. For a designer like her, inspiration is everything."

“Mm.” Zhong Lingxi nodded. She couldn’t think of any other reason, so she believed Ji Yubai’s words. “I didn’t expect to be able to have such a pleasant conversation with someone I don’t know well.”

Ji Yubai's smile deepened, and her charming and innocent side was finally revealed to him.

She lowered her guard, accepted him, and relied on him.

Her heart belonged only to him.
