When Bai Yaoyao heard his words, waves of emotions crashed through her heart. Her eyes widened in shock as she asked, “So soon?”

Duan Yanhao held Bai Yaoyao’s hands and looked intently into her eyes. “Yaoyao, you… Are you rejecting me?”

Duan Yanhao’s tone was full of uncertainty, and his voice even trembled.

He had always been fearless, but now, he was afraid to hear her reject him and even more scared to hear her mention Xirong Ziye.

Love makes one worry and afraid, and Duan Yanhao agreed fully with that saying.

Because he cared too much for her, he felt extremely nervous now as he carefully observed the changes in her expressions.

Bai Yaoyao could tell that Duan Yanhao was nervous. “I’m not rejecting you, but this is too sudden. I’m not prepared at all.”

“You don’t have to prepare. I’ve done everything for you, so you have nothing to worry about.” Duan Yanhao’s gaze was full of sincerity and solemnity.

“I know, but… But…” Bai Yaoyao felt confused deep down. She had constantly been fighting and merely thought about killing everyone off for Duan Yanhao.

She honestly hadn’t thought about this new topic at all.

She also felt fragile and insecure. She didn’t have a family and was an orphan. Although she was a soldier now, could she compare with his family?

Would his family be able to accept her?

These concerns bothered her. She didn’t know if she’ll be able to survive in a large household and amidst all the petty fights.

Duan Yanhao noticed the vulnerability in Bai Yaoyao’s eyes and tightened his grip on her hands. It was as though he was holding her tightly so that she wouldn’t be able to leave him.

“Yaoyao, you said that I saved you, but you also saved me too. Without you, I’ll just keep living in the past. You said that you trust me.”

Bai Yaoyao’s mind was blank, and her heart was confused. She didn’t know what to do next. “Yanhao, give me some time.”

Duan Yanhao didn’t want Bai Yaoyao to retreat anymore. He simply wanted to take her home and marry her now. He didn’t want her to vanish like the wind once again.

Duan Yanhao pulled Bai Yaoyao so that she faced him directly. “Yaoyao, look me in the eye.”

Bai Yaoyao heard Duan Yanhao’s sincere voice and raised her head obediently. His gaze was deep and mysterious, swaying her emotions.

“Yaoyao, answer me. Do you love me?”

Bai Yaoyao nodded. “Of course I do.” If it were in the past, she wouldn’t be sure. It was during the battle, when they were on the brink of life and death, that she confirmed her feelings for him. If she didn’t love him, she wouldn’t be willing to risk her life for him.”

“Do you trust me?”

“Yes.”

“Then why are you hesitating?”

Duan Yanhao didn’t allow Bai Yaoyao any room to retreat and continued looking at her intently.

“Yanhao, I…”

“Yaoyao, tell me. What’s holding you back?”

Bai Yaoyao finally answered, “Yanhao, love involves two persons, but marriage involves two families. Your Duan family, I… I don’t know if they’re able to accept me.”

Hearing those words, Duan Yanhao finally came to a realization and understood what she was thinking. “My grandfather and aunt are very fond of you. Besides the two of them, you won’t need to bother with the rest. You can do whatever you want.”
