The Schoolgirl Secret Agent

Chapter 595 - It Can Work. Your Reply

”Ow…” Qin Yirou fell hard. Her eyes were clamped shut in anticipation of the painful thud that would come after her heavy fall. It came unexpectedly when she did not even feel a throb the moment she landed. It was like she fell on a fleshy cushion.

A fleshy cushion? Where did it come from?

Behind her, Ge Junjianʼs grunt and groan were heard.

Qin Yirou picked herself up quickly. Just as she turned, she saw Ge Junjian being sprawled on the floor as her human cushion. Blinking, she stood up in a hurry and turned around.

”Officer Ge, what… what are you doing?” Overwhelmed, Qin Yirou helped the man up.

”Hah, Iʼm fine. Iʼm strong! Itʼs no big deal!” Ge Junjian tried before he patted his back that Qin Yirou had fallen on and asked her, ”Are you alright? Did you get hurt anywhere?”

”I-Iʼm okay,” Qin Yirou turned as she said.

If Ge Junjian watched carefully, he would have seen the tears brimming the womanʼs eyes.

Qin Yirou was moved. Her children were filial but they would never be around her all the time. Ge Junjian was not her family but he would rather be injured and make sure she was fine. Qin Yirou was moved beyond words.

She even thought that if Yun Gang had been only 10% as nice as Ge Junjian was to her, she might actually spend the rest of her life with him just like that.

”You—Donʼt cry. Whatʼs wrong?” Ge Junjian was helpless when he realized that Qin Yirou was tearing up with her back against him.

”It-itʼs nothing, Officer Ge. I just thought of my ex-husband. If he were one-tenth as nice as you are, Iʼd have spent the rest of my life with him.” Qin Yirouʼs tears fell incessantly.

”Am I that nice? Iʼm nothing like you said. If I were this great, my ex-wife wouldnʼt have asked for a divorce.” Ge Junjian was surprised but a hint of sorrow crept in after he heard what Qin Yirou said.

”Officer Ge, donʼt be too hard on yourself. To us women, youʼre the best kind to end up with. Your ex-wife wasnʼt foresighted, else she wouldnʼt have divorced someone as competent as you are. If it were me, I wouldnʼt leave you regardless.” As they chatted, Qin Yirou talked freely.

”Then, why donʼt the both of us get married?” Ge Junjianʼs suggestion shocked Qin Yirou.

She was frozen for three seconds before she stuttered, ”Off-officer Ge, donʼt joke about matters like this.”

Ge Junjian took the chance to hold her hands, telling Qin Yirou, ”Iʼm not joking. We arenʼt getting younger and our children are growing up. If youʼd like, letʼs get married and spend the rest of our days together. If you donʼt want that, I, Ge Junjian, will never push for it!”

Qin Yirou hesitated to look at Ge Junjianʼs sincere gaze.

”Alright, I wonʼt push it. Yirou, give it some thought.” Ge Junjian chuckled before turning serious. ”Iʼm serious about this though. Weʼve been through this, even though we donʼt know each other for long. Iʼll wait for your reply.”

Ge Junjian dried the spilled water on the floor for Qin Yirou and tidied things up before he took his leave while Qin Yirou went into deep thoughts.

To be honest, it was not like she had no feelings for Ge Junjian. She did not know him for long but the familiar feeling and bond when they talked came by unusually easy. Some people did not have to get close to each other but they felt like decades of old friends. Qin Yirou and Ge Junjian… She thought that if Xiao Jian and Xiao Yi agreed to them, it could work out.
