GTGV Chapter 72.2

Xie Jinqiu pressed in a serious tone, “What else?”

“What else?”

Xie Jinqiu frowned slightly and said, “Regarding our relationship… How should we clarify it?”

Xie Jinqiu was a little surprised. Besides the issue that Xiao Tong was Ning Chuchu’s son, their relationship had also been misunderstood by the public, a matter that also needed clarification.

How could Chuchu have overlooked such an important matter?

Ning Chuchu was silent for a moment and then calmly asked, “What do you think?”

Her tone was profound, with an indefinable meaning.

Xie Jinqiu felt a little uneasy, but he subconsciously began to list various clarifications: “Say we were just friends having dinner together? Or were we meeting for work?”

Ning Chuchu gave an ambiguous laugh, but didn’t answer.

Her voice was soft, gentle, and incredibly beautiful. When it reached Xie Jinqiu’s ears, a flash of light flashed through his mind, a trance-like feeling as if he had just woken from a dream.

Chuchu’s attitude…?

Xie Jinqiu’s fingers gripped the phone, his Adam’s apple twitching twice, his nerves visibly rising.

Perhaps it was the growing rapport and ambiguity between them, or perhaps it was Ning Chuchu’s slightly subtle attitude at that moment, but an idea suddenly struck Xie Jinqiu.

He asked, “Chuchu, are you willing to be with me?”

The words he had been brewing for so long were suddenly spoken.

Xie Jinqiu was stunned for a moment, then fell into a long period of tension, his heart pounding.

Ning Chuchu hummed, a faint smile playing across her face.

This guy wasn’t that stupid.

Ning Chuchu felt that Xie Jinqiu’s nervous and cautious attitude was really cute, so she couldn’t help teasing him.

She asked in a deliberately serious tone, “Xie Jinqiu, am I your ideal type?”

Ideal type?

Xie Jinqiu was stunned.

Wasn’t this the question the director asked him during the heart rate monitor segment during the previous recording of “My Brothers and Sisters”?

At that moment, something vague finally cleared up. Xie Jinqiu’s heart strangely settled and then surged with an intense throbbing.

Xie Jinqiu took a deep breath and said slowly and firmly, “I don’t have an ideal type. I only have feelings for you.”

“So, Chuchu, can you be with me?”

Ning Chuchu’s smile widened, and her peach-shaped eyes sparkled.

Hmm… Although his confession wasn’t sweet, it still sounded quite pleasing.

So…

“Okay.” Ning Chuchu agreed readily, without hesitation.

A long silence fell on the other end of the line, with only Xie Jinqiu’s slightly heavy breathing to be heard.

Xie Jinqiu froze in his place, feeling overwhelmed by a huge surprise. He felt completely dizzy.

It was the height of summer. Xie Jinqiu had carefully planned many romantic confession schemes. He had even considered having a candlelit dinner with Ning Chuchu on a midsummer night, then renting out the entire Firefly River to confess his love to her amidst the blazing fireflies.

But now, facing Ning Chuchu’s sudden approval, Xie Jinqiu felt a bit dreamy and dazed.

Chuchu had agreed to him just like that?

He and Chuchu were finally together?

No formal confession, no romantic ceremony, not even a face-to-face conversation… just a phone call confirming their relationship?

Xie Jinqiu was thrilled, yet also incredulous. But he quickly calmed down.

Given Chuchu’s outspoken personality and unforgiving tongue, if he had actually made a grand ‘romantic confession’, she would probably have criticized him…

The long period of silent companionship had finally culminated in this day’s fruition. Xie Jinqiu was thrilled and eager to rush over to see his girlfriend.

However, Ning Chuchu was quite heartless.

“Okay, hurry up and post the announcement. I’m going to go make dinner for Xiao Tong. We’ll chat later.”

With that, Ning Chuchu abruptly hung up the phone, showing no sign of nostalgia for her new boyfriend.

Xie Jinqiu: “…”

Why did it feel like they skipped the honeymoon phase and jumped straight into the realm of an old married couple? Did that make sense?

Despite feeling a little awkward, Xie Jinqiu still obediently went about doing what Ning Chuchu… no, his girlfriend had asked him to do.

He didn’t even let his subordinates handle the matter. Instead, he typed away at his computer, revising it over and over again, personally writing a post that was ‘claimed as a clarification, but in reality, an official announcement’.
