GTGV Chapter 64.4

Xie Jinqiu paused, slowly turned to face her, and asked gently, “Is there something wrong?”

Ning Chuchu blinked her bright peach eyes and asked with a smile, “Have you ever lied?”

Xie Jinqiu frowned slightly, obviously thinking seriously about Ning Chuchu’s question.

After a while, he slowly shook his head, “No.”

“Never lied once?” Ning Chuchu pressed unwillingly.

Xie Jinqiu nodded gently, “Yeah.”

Looking at Ning Chuchu’s beautiful face, Xie Jinqiu took the initiative to explain, “The reason why I don’t lie is that I haven’t encountered a situation where I need to lie.”

“But…”

He coughed uncomfortably and said, “For some people, they are just forced by the difficult environment and forced to say something that is not in line with their original intention.”

“Lying is not wrong; it all depends on the heart of the person.”

Xie Jinqiu’s expression was calm, but his tone was particularly solemn.

Ning Chuchu was slightly taken aback by this and couldn’t help but look at Xie Jinqiu deeply.

Xie Jinqiu deliberately said such words in front of her… Maybe he was comforting her, wasn’t he?

Ning Chuchu had never told anyone about her suffering in the past few years. It was hard for Xie Jinqiu to see through it all.

He was not only a smart man, but also a very considerate one.

Ning Chuchu felt a little warm in her heart. She chuckled softly as she nodded.

“You’re right.”

Xie Jinqiu raised his lips slightly and gave her a gentle smile in return.

As they stared at each other, the atmosphere was unprecedentedly harmonious and peaceful, a sense of ease among friends.

Ning Chuchu secretly said to the system in her heart: “No wonder Xie Jinqiu can become the empress.”

System: […?]

“She is so considerate and speaks so nicely. Which emperor doesn’t like this kind of queen?”

System: […Before, you said righteously that you are not an emperor and don’t have a harem. But I see you acted quite naturally when you assumed the role of emperor. :)]

Ning Chuchu and Xie Jinqiu were chatting happily, but soon, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse.

Ning Chuchu blinked and suddenly asked: “Um… Have you ever been in love?”

Xie Jinqiu’s body froze. He had a blank expression on his face and looked very calm, but his red ears completely exposed his uncomfortable heart.

Xie Jinqiu’s eyes flickered for a moment. Then he calmly met Ning Chuchu’s inquiring gaze and said in a deep voice, “No.”

As if afraid that Ning Chuchu would not believe it, Xie Jinqiu deliberately explained a few more words, “Before I got engaged to you, my mind was focused on work.”

“After the engagement, it is even more impossible for me to develop any romantic relationship.”

“But…”

Xie Jinqiu’s lips curved slightly, and his always cold and hard face instantly melted like ice and snow, and a little softness emerged.

The sudden display of true feelings made Ning Chuchu look sideways in surprise. She couldn’t believe that this was her stone-cold fiancé.

Xie Jinqiu said softly: “I am still looking forward to having a relationship now.”

“Of course, the object can only be you.”

Ning Chuchu: “…”

Good guy, since she and Xie Jinqiu broke the window paper, has this guy stimulated some hidden attributes?

How did he change from his previous expressionless, cold, and unromantic nature to become so… so ‘unrestrained’?

It was really hard for her to cope with it for a while.

Ning Chuchu deliberately asked Xie Jinqiu if he had ever been in a relationship. She meant to be a joke, but she didn’t expect that Xie Jinqiu would make her not know how to respond.

Ning Chuchu laughed awkwardly and quickly changed the subject.

Xie Jinqiu saw her evasive attitude clearly, but he didn’t feel disappointed.

He just smiled slightly and followed Ning Chuchu to change the subject.

When he faced Ning Chuchu, he never had the sharpness and oppression he had when facing business competitors, but only tolerance and peace like water.

But under his calmness and gentleness, there was a firm determination that only he knew.
