Chapter 1252: 1252

Ou Ming hand lingered on Yu Lili’s waist . His eyes never left hers .

Yu Lili sensed that Ou Ming was testing the waters . She placed her hand over his and pressed down, huffing, “You can just hurt for all I care! You’re always so frivolous!”

“Not at all . I’m so innocent . Every time I tell a lie, my face will redden and my heartbeat will race . Touch it if you don’t believe me . ” As he spoke, he took Yu Lili’s hand and laid it on top of his chest . “It’s beating as per normal . That means I’m telling the truth . ”

Yu Lili was tickled by his shameless words and burst out laughing . She patted him and remarked, “Your face will redden and your heartbeat will race? Whom are you trying to tease?”

Ou Ming saw that she was finally smiling . His face couldn’t resist breaking out in a smile of his own .

“Other than you, I have no one else to tease . ” He reached his hand out and hugged her tightly . “I don’t know what kind of person I am in your heart, but my feelings for you are true and sincere . Yu Lili, I want to marry you . I want to be with you forever . ”

His voice was low when he made the declaration . It made Yu Lili’s heart skip a beat . She looked up at him .

In the dark, his eyes were especially bright . Even if the eyes couldn’t see what was in front, Yu Lili could still sense the heat of his gaze . It was scorching .

“Do you know… I really envy Second Brother, Li Sicheng,” Ou Ming said . “He faked his death for many years . When he returned, his family was still there . His wife was still there . She had even given birth to a set of twins for him . His wife had seemed useless and incompetent . In the four years that Li Sicheng was gone, she had single-handedly managed the children and the huge company…”

Yu Lili lowered her eyes and nodded her head . “Qianci is indeed formidable . ”

She had always been .

Su Qianci looked weak and delicate . On the inside, she was tougher than anyone else . She envied her . She had always envied her .

“Their whole family is formidable . ” Ou Ming stoked Yu Lili’s head and lowered his voice . “The reason why Li Sicheng dared to do that was because he knew that he could return anytime . Both his family and his wife would always be waiting for him . ”

Yu Lili reached out and held on to his waist . “There are three brothers in their family while you are the only offspring of yours . Don’t do what he did . It’s too dangerous . ”

“Yeah . Even if I wanted to do that, I’d need to start a family first,” Ou Ming said .

Start a family . Yu Lili heard it clearly and locked it in her heart . Deep inside, she was still feeling a little empty .

She closed her eyes and burrowed into Ou Ming’s embrace . With a pat on his back, she said, “Let’s go to sleep . ”

It was rare that Ou Ming didn’t get frisky . Instead, he held on to her and closed his eyes .

It was a night without dreams .

When Yu Lili awoke, the first sight that greeted her was that of Ou Ming’s bare chest . She gently lifted his hand away and tiptoed quietly to the bathroom .

By the time she had finished washing up, Ou Ming was awake .

“Good morning . ” He seemed to be in an especially good mood . His smile was shining as brightly as the sun .

Yu Lili glanced at him and made a sound of acknowledgement . She brought his slippers over to him and said, “I’ve squeezed out the toothpaste for you . Your razor and aftershave have also been prepared . Go ahead . ”

Ou Ming was particularly obedient . He compliantly went to the bathroom to brush his teeth and wash his face .

After the both of them had changed their clothes, they made their way to the hotel Shen Zhilie was at . They retrieved their luggage and met up with Shen Zhilie and Old Mrs . Shen .

When Old Mrs . Shen saw Yu Lili standing with Ou Ming, she blinked her eyes and immediately called out while waving animatedly, “Hi, Lili!”
