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 Yaoyaos hands and looked intently into her eyes. Yaoyao, you Are you rejecting me?

Duan Yanhaos 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. Im not rejecting you, but this is too sudden. Im not prepared at all.

You dont have to prepare. Ive done everything for you, so you have nothing to worry about. Duan Yanhaos 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 hadnt thought about this new topic at all.

She also felt fragile and insecure. She didnt 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 didnt know if shell be able to survive in a large household and amidst all the petty fights.

Duan Yanhao noticed the vulnerability in Bai Yaoyaos eyes and tightened his grip on her hands. It was as though he was holding her tightly so that she wouldnt be able to leave him.

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

Bai Yaoyaos mind was blank, and her heart was confused. She didnt know what to do next. Yanhao, give me some time.

Duan Yanhao didnt want Bai Yaoyao to retreat anymore. He simply wanted to take her home and marry her now. He didnt 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 Yanhaos 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 wouldnt 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 didnt love him, she wouldnt be willing to risk her life for him.

Do you trust me?

Yes.

Then why are you hesitating?

Duan Yanhao didnt allow Bai Yaoyao any room to retreat and continued looking at her intently.

Yanhao, I

Yaoyao, tell me. Whats holding you back?

Bai Yaoyao finally answered, Yanhao, love involves two persons, but marriage involves two families. Your Duan family, I I dont know if theyre 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 wont need to bother with the rest. You can do whatever you want.
