Jin Lingling struggled to suppress the excitement in her heart, quickly lowered her head, and couldn’t help but let her smile curl up.

She was too excited, too excited indeed!

She had thought that it would take a lot of effort to snatch this man from Jin Yuyu’s hands, but unexpectedly, she could get him so easily.

Her hands trembled with excitement, and she almost couldn’t contain herself from screaming.

However, even with her heart racing, she still put on a troubled and unattainable fa?ade.

"Cousin, the things you said, are they all true?"

Seeing Jin Lingling beginning to waver, Li Chengzhi seemed immensely encouraged, and he lifted his butt to sit next to her. It was a good thing they were in a teahouse, and they had an elegant room, otherwise, she would definitely not allow Li Chengzhi to sit so close to her.

Li Chengzhi seized both her hands and leaned in closely, greedily inhaling the unique, sweet fragrance of a woman that radiated from her. Although it wasn’t as enchanting as the scent of Lin Siyu, Jin Lingling had a unique youthful flavor.

His favorite thing was to control various types of women, of course, except for that wooden-like Jin Yuyu.

"Cousin, of course everything I said is true.

" Li Chengzhi placed her hands over his heart and vowed earnestly, "Feel it, my heart leaps joyfully at the thought of you!

Lingling, ever since I saw you at Jin Mansion, I have been distracted and restless, unable to sleep at night.

Whenever I close my eyes, I see your lively face and hear your bell-like laughter.

I often fantasize about holding you as we sleep, even just holding you gently would fill me with contentment. "

"Cousin, what are you talking about?" Hearing Li Chengzhi speaking about holding her as they slept made Jin Lingling’s cheeks flush with red, and she lowered her head in shy embarrassment.

Li Chengzhi adored this blossoming shyness of hers, like a bud waiting to bloom, making one unable to resist peel back the layers of petals to discover what was hidden within.

Just as he was about to make his next move and hold her in his embrace to taste her fragrance, Jin Lingling suddenly raised her head, her eyes shy and timid, "But, but you’re not just my cousin, you’re also my, my cousin by marriage, ah.

I’ve heard Grandmother say that she’s arranging for you to be betrothed to my cousin. "

Whenever Jin Yuyu was mentioned, Li Chengzhi’s passion cooled considerably, but to maintain his image as a refined gentleman, he sighed and said, "Lingling, actually the marriage with your cousin was never my wish. Ah, you know, in your aunt’s eyes, I’m merely an adopted son, with no right to speak for myself.

I, I can only follow her arrangements. In truth, the person I really like is you, haven’t you noticed?

I have never even looked at Jin Yuyu, I swear! "

"Cousin!" Seeing Li Chengzhi actually raising his right hand to swear, Jin Lingling hurriedly grabbed his hand, saying with concern, "Cousin, I believe you, I believe you. I know the aunt looks down on me because my dad isn’t Grandmother’s biological son, just a nephew. But, but I like you too, cousin."

The last sentence was forced out in a mosquito-like buzz by Jin Lingling, but Li Chengzhi heard her, clear and loud. He jumped up excitedly, his eyes gleaming, "Really? Lingling, you, you like me too?"

Jin Lingling was amused by his reaction, covered her mouth with a laugh, and nodded, "Yes, I like you too."

Li Chengzhi wanted to laugh out loud. He had long suspected that the young girl fancied him; he was just testing the waters, not expecting it to be true.

This was perfect; Jin Yuyu clearly had her own plans and marrying her would surely benefit Jin Mansion.

But Jin Lingling was different; she was so na?ve, so childish, that just a few words and glances were enough to easily seduce her.
