Return To The Past: I Won’t Choose Humility This Time! - Chapter 974

974 You Are the Most Important

How could he not know Yun Yang’s intentions? He knew that this little fellow just didn’t want him to be all alone in the old estate for this period of time.

While the three of them were talking, Chen Li and Yun Xi brought the dishes to the table. When Yun Yang saw the table full of steaming hot food, he couldn’t help but jump up from the sofa in excitement and walk straight to the dining table.

“Auntie, actually, just a few simple dishes will do. I’ve really troubled you to make such a sumptuous meal,” Zhou Lin said.

“Just eat as much as you want. My mom is very happy to cook for you. We can also benefit from your glory!” Yun Xi said with a smile.

!!

After the meal, Yun Xi and Zhou Lin hurried back to the old mansion to pack up the old man’s ward items.

Zhou Lin drove the car while Yun Xi sat in the front passenger seat with a hesitant expression. Her thoughts were written all over her face. Although Zhou Lin did not turn to look at her, he seemed to have noticed that something was wrong with Yun Xi.

“What’s wrong, Xixi? are you feeling unwell? ” Zhou Lin asked with concern.

“There’s indeed something, but you should drive first. We’ll talk about it when we get to the old house.” Yun Xi did not want Zhou Lin to be distracted, so he spoke.

The car drove to the entrance of the community. Zhou Lin got out of the car and opened the door for Yun Xi. It was the hottest time in the afternoon and there was no parasol in the car. Zhou Lin took off his coat and covered Yun Xi with it.

“Hey, there’s no need. I’m not that delicate,” Yun Xi said.

“No, it’s too hot. Your skin is already fragile. What if you get hurt from the sun? ” Zhou Lin said with concern.

Seeing how much Zhou Lin cared about her, Yun Xi was even more determined about the idea she had in the car earlier. No matter what, she had to accompany Zhou Lin this time.

“Xixi, what did you want to tell me in the car?” Zhou Lin asked as he opened the door.

Yun Xi looked at Zhou Lin, her eyes filled with uncertainty. She did not know if Zhou Lin would agree to her doing this. Just a moment ago, she felt confident, but now, she was a little timid. Yun Xi thought about it for a while, but in the end, she still insisted on her original idea. Regardless of whether Zhou Lin agreed or not, she still had to try!

Zhou Lin opened the door and motioned for Yun Xi to go in first. His eyes were still looking forward to the answer to the question just now.

“Zhou Lin, I don’t want to go to work during this period of time. I want to take care of uncle with you until he recovers. Can I?” Yun Xi turned around and mustered up the courage to voice his thoughts.

When Zhou Lin heard Yun Xi’s words, he was stunned for a few seconds. Then, he looked at Yun Xi and said, “Xixi, you heard what the doctor said the other day. It’s impossible for my father to fully recover. You should have your own career. I don’t want to be a burden to you.”

Zhou Lin’s voice started to become choked. He felt that it was because he had not taken good care of the Old Master and that he had dragged Yun Xi down.

“Zhou Lin, I can put aside my work for now. The most important thing to me now is you. We’ll have plenty of time to work hard for our careers in the future, but I don’t want to be absent from your side when you’re at your most difficult time.” Yun Xi looked at Zhou Lin and said with a face full of sincerity.

“But … That was something you spent a long time to achieve, you can’t stop because of me!” Zhou Lin’s voice gradually lowered.

“Zhou Lin, none of this is as important as you. You’ve saved me from Gu Ting’s hands time and time again. You’ve also given me so much warmth and romance. Please give me a chance. Let me protect you and stay by your side!” Yun Xi’s eyes were filled with tears as she spoke, and her voice gradually became choked. She really wanted to beg him.

Zhou Lin looked at Yun Xi, his eyes filled with unspeakable love. He raised his hand and gently wiped away the tears on Yun Xi’s face. Yun Xi pulled Zhou Lin’s hand and placed it on her face. She begged Zhou Lin not to reject her from a thousand miles away.

“Zhou Lin!” Yun Xi called out to him. “Just promise me!”

Zhou Lin continued to wipe the tears off Yun Xi’s face. Looking at the girl with tears streaming down her face, he suddenly pulled her into his arms.

“Alright, I promise you. Yun Xi, I promise you!” As he spoke, Zhou Lin touched Yun Xi’s head gently, as if he was comforting her and also apologizing.

Hearing this, Yun Xi’s suspended heart finally settled down. This time, she was probably crying tears of joy. She buried her head in Zhou Lin’s neck and began to cry again.

The two of them hugged each other tightly, tears and joy intertwined.
