Chapter 323: "It's very pretty." (2)
“!”
Lu Shao’s words seemed to have found their way into Su Ran’s year with magical property.
Even though Su Ran had noticed some of Lu Shao’s “out of character” behavior from time to time as of late and had an inkling that he treated her differently than he was with others.
Nevertheless, guessing and sensing that was very different from the shock of actually hearing it with one’s own ears.
Besides, Su Ran could sense that the word “like” from Lu Shao was very different from the “I love you”, “I like you”, or the “romance in the rain” coming from a young lover.
The way that Lu Shao had said it was all too solemn.
So solemn that he wasn’t just professing about his feelings, he was also making some sort of a promise.
Even though Su Ran had been single since the day that she was born and had never been in a relationship or wanted to get married, that did not mean that she couldn’t recognize the signs.
Lu Shao was rich, powerful, has good personality, patient, responsible, and… handsome.
And a man like him had said what he did in front of her.
Su Ran did have a heart-replacement surgery so, naturally, she had some feelings toward that.
In fact, for a brief second there, she felt that her heart had skipped a beat.
“You……” Su Ran could almost hear the frenzy in her own voice.
“Was it when you came to the hotel in City N?” asked Su Ran.
It seemed that there was something that Lu Shao had wanted to say to her that day.
Su Ran recalled the change in his attitude when Lu Shao said to her, “No.”
“Before that.” He added after a short pause.
“Before that?” Su Ran was a bit surprised.
“Yes.” Pausing a little, Lu Shao went on to say, “I can’t exactly pinpoint when but it was very early in time.”
“Before I know that I have a child.” Lu Shao was very affirmative when he said that.
Su Ran’s eyes widened when she heard that.
Before Su Han?
Su Han had mentioned that he had first met Lu Shao at school, after the parent-teacher conference.
Before that?
Oh my lord!
She had only run into Lu Shao a few times before that!
Lu Shao wasn’t sure exactly when he was attracted to her. He did, however, know very well that when he ran into Su Ran picking Su Han up outside of the school and showed him the apartments that she was looking at, there was already a stirring inside of him. He wanted this woman.
Except that he thought at the time that Su Ran had a child, a husband, and perhaps was happily married.
Su Ran found Lu Shao’s words unbelievable but she also reflexively felt that Lu Shao would not lie about this.
“What about me?” Lu Shao asked all of a sudden as he looked at Su Ran. “Am I what you have expected?”
Lu Shao was way less calm than he looked when he said that.
That made Su Ran nervous all of a sudden as well.
With the exception of someone whose blind or braindead, who else would not find this man attractive?
Nevertheless, Su Ran had no idea what to say at this very moment.
Seemingly noticing Su Ran’s struggle, Lu Shao stopped his line of questioning.
“You don’t need to answer me right away,” said Lu Shao.
He only came to let her know of his feelings today.
As long Su Ran did not find him resentful and wanted to stay away from him, that would be sufficient.
“Get some rest.”
“Uh, alright.” Su Ran nodded in a daze.
Lu Shao didn’t leave until after he had locked up all of the windows for her. Su Ran’s head was still buzzing even after her was gone.
She was truly surprised by what Lu Shao had said to her today.
She had never given marriage a serious thought before today. Even this one time, she only agreed to marrying Lu Shao on paper for the sake of Su Han……
Regardless, Su Ran started giving what Lu Shao had said some serious thoughts in the days that followed.
