An hour later.

Jinyu Huacheng, rooftop, within the terrace garden.

The charming Su Xiaonuan hugged her arms tightly and said to Shen Qiang, "I'm a bit cold."

Shen Qiang embraced her and said, "Then let's go inside."

Su Xiaonuan's cheeks turned red as she said in a voice as faint as a mosquito's, "It's too late, I should go back."

Smelling her alluring scent and feeling the warmth emanating from her body, Shen Qiang not only held her tighter but also whispered in her ear, "Let's sit on the second floor for a while, and I'll take you back later."

"Really?" Su Xiaonuan was somewhat hesitant.

Shen Qiang smiled, "Will you come or not?"

Su Xiaonuan pursed her lips and smiled, "Then you mustn't play any tricks."

Shen Qiang, smiling, raised both hands, "All right, I'm a gentleman."

Su Xiaonuan's voice was as faint as a mosquito as she softly said, "Shen Qiang, everyone says that if a woman is too forward, she will be looked down upon by men."

"Will you think the same way?" Su Xiaonuan asked, her face red as she looked up.

Her enchanting face radiated a charming crimson under the light.

Staring at her feigned composure, yet unable to hide the nervousness and shyness in her eyes, Shen Qiang softly said, "Being too reserved is hypocrisy. I like you, that's all there is to it. Not just because you're pretty, but also for your straightforwardness."

Su Xiaonuan bit her lip and smiled, her eyes playfully saying, "Really? Do you say this to everyone?"

Shen Qiang took a deep breath, his hand on Su Xiaonuan's slender waist, turning her to face him, and softly laughed, "Are you not confident in yourself?"

Su Xiaonuan didn't speak, just looked at Shen Qiang with a cunning gleam in her eyes.

Shen Qiang laughed, looking into Su Xiaonuan's sly eyes, and softly said, "Su Xiaonuan, what do you think of me as a person?"

After a moment of silence, Su Xiaonuan said softly, "You have a bit of a temper, usually very low-key, know how to be patient, you're quite magnanimous unless driven to urgency."

"But once you're pushed to the limit, you become very very assertive, a bit arrogant, a bit violent."

"Yet at the same time, you're very considerate toward friends and classmates. You have money, but you never look down on others because of it, nor do you despise those classmates less skilled than you because of your Medical Skill."

"So..." Looking at Shen Qiang, Su Xiaonuan said with bright eyes, "I think you have good character."

Shen Qiang smiled, his hand gently caressing Su Xiaonuan's beautiful face, "Then do you think I would be someone who loves and leaves?"

Su Xiaonuan's face turned bright red, and after hesitating for a moment, she spoke softly, "Back at Dadi Feige, when I heard that woman's crying, I thought you were a heartless man."

"But later, when I heard you tell her that the man could give her the life she wanted, I knew, even though you couldn't forgive her betrayal, you were a man truly capable of love and loyalty."

"Because you gave her another path!"

Shen Qiang sighed with a somewhat somber expression, "Then are you willing to be with me?"

Seeing Shen Qiang's somber look, Su Xiaonuan's heart ached unexpectedly, and she couldn't help but step forward and embrace Shen Qiang tightly, whispering, "Shen Qiang, I like you."
