Chapter 45: Marry me.

When Chen Xiang came out, her mind was in chaos. “Coach, I… can’t go, I’m not…”

“Not what?” Liao Jun held her hand and slightly lowered his back to look at her.

His features were firm and rugged, with a stubble around his lips, exuding a strong masculine aura. When his eyes stared at someone, the pressure was even stronger. Chen Xiang unconsciously stepped back, her voice trembling, “I… don’t know.”

“What are you afraid of? Tell me.” Liao Jun patiently coaxed her, “You tell me, what are you afraid of?”

“I… I don’t know.” Chen Xiang’s eyes reddened, her body trembling, and she looked at him pitifully, “I… I can’t go.”

“If you don’t like my mom, you don’t have to see her in the future.” Liao Jun wiped away her tears with his fingertips, “Anyway, I don’t like her either.”

Chen Xiang froze, her thoughts suddenly diverted. “Why?”

Her parents had always been working outside since she was young. She always looked forward to Chinese New Year when her parents could come home. At that time, she was especially happy and satisfied.

Liao Jun originally looked down on the clothes at the stalls, but after browsing around with Chen Xiang, he found it quite enjoyable.

The ladies selling clothes praised him endlessly, saying how lucky Chen Xiang was to meet such a good man who treated her so well. He was handsome and tall, and oh, look at his figure, is he an athlete? Oh no, he’s a coach, even more amazing!

Chen Xiang watched in disbelief as Liao Jun bought bags full of clothes in no time, filling the trunk of the car. As they drove back home, Liao Jun seemed quite happy, saying, “Let’s come again next time.”

Chen Xiang was bewildered. She still remembered when she came here to buy clothes, the disdain on the man’s face and the scorn in his words, “Damn, who buys clothes that cost only a few bucks?”

As the car returned to the residential area where Liao Jun lived, Chen Xiang looked at the darkening sky outside and asked Liao Jun softly, “…can I go home today?”

Liao Jun glanced at Chen Xiang sideways. He had encountered many women who clung to him for his wealth, acting crazy, either wanting to buy this or that, flaunting in their social circles, afraid that others wouldn’t know they had a connection with him.

But Chen Xiang was different. No matter how many things he bought for her, she cautiously refused to accept them, as if she believed from the bottom of her heart that he was just playing around and would never be with her in the future.

“Chen Xiang.” Liao Jun stopped the car, unbuckled his seatbelt, and turned to look at her seriously. “I’m thirty this year, just a bit older than you. Although my temper is not good, I’ll try to change in the future.”

Chen Xiang didn’t understand why he was speaking so seriously, and his earnest expression startled her. She stared at him without moving, fingers tightly gripping the seatbelt.

“Give it a try with me,” Liao Jun took her hand, kissed it lightly, and said, “If you think I’m not bad, then marry me. What do you think?”
