I Want To Move In Next Door

Chapter 1138 - 1135: Pregnancy 3 (Free - )

Han Jingnian’s movements of unboxing the gift stopped, and he turned his head to look at Xia Wan’an.With a smile, Xia Wan’an nudged his arm: "Keep unboxing your gift..."

Han Jingnian moved his lips, said nothing, and once again set his gaze on the gift box before him.

"That year, I was 15, and I was very pretty. A lot of people in school were chasing after me, but... after I met you, no one else could catch my eye... The thoughts of a young girl, too embarrassing to let others know. So, I would beat around the bush every day to ask Han Zhijin about you... But Zhijin was naive enough, so many times when I asked him about the Han Family, he thought I was concerned about him... Hahaha..."

In Xia Wan’an’s monologue, Han Jingnian opened another gift box.

Inside was a set of designer pieces he had seen years before in a gallery while studying in America.

The name of this designer collection was "Years".

"An’an..." Han Jingnian looked again at Xia Wan’an, and before he could say the rest, Xia Wan’an handed him another gift box to open.

Han Jingnian struggled for a moment, but complied with Xia Wan’an’s wish and started to unbox the gift.

"I thought I would like you for half a year, a year, at most two to three years, then the feelings would fade. But unexpectedly, I continued liking you until I went to university... In my junior year, when I learned you took over the Han Family, I even mustered up the courage to go to the Han Family corporation intending to confess my feelings..."

Han Jingnian sounded puzzled: "Junior year? When you were 21?"

"Yes," Xia Wan’an knew what puzzled Han Jingnian, and the next second she answered his confusion: "It’s normal that you don’t know, because I never actually confessed to you. I saw you firing a female colleague who confessed to you, and I got scared, so I cowardly walked away..."

"That was the most upsetting time, wanting to confess but not daring to, truly torture. Fearing that once I said it, it would be a confession, yet not willing to let it go... I actually thought at one point that there might be no hope, and then later, the arranged marriage..."

"Han Jingnian, do you know? When I heard about the arranged marriage, I was so happy. I was afraid you wouldn’t agree, I even went to the company trying to persuade you, only... I might be too daft and awkward, after speaking a few words, you said you were busy with something and left me alone in the office..."

Xia Wan’an talked about the past, of which Han Jingnian only knew some from Song Youman, not as detailed as what Xia Wan’an had just disclosed, yet he remembered the last incident very clearly.

It was during an afternoon in summer when Zhang Cheng told him, "Miss Xia is here."

He blankly asked, "Who is Miss Xia?" Then Zhang Cheng informed him she was the bride his grandmother had chosen for him, and with a vague impression, he asked Zhang Cheng to let her in.

He remembered her on that day, approaching his desk very cautiously, possibly because he was busy with work and didn’t pay attention to her, she tentatively spoke: "I... I came to see you, I have something to tell you."

He treated her like any other socialite lady, not even lifting his eyes from the documents as he perfunctorily replied: "Go ahead."

After a long silence, so long that by the time he looked up at her, she said, "I... I want to say, I’m willing to marry you."

At that time, he firmly answered her with, "I don’t want to marry you."

But who could have thought, after all the twists and turns, in the end, she was the only one he wanted to marry.

The corners of Han Jingnian’s lips rose slightly, "I’m sorry..."

After a pause of two seconds, he spoke again: "I hadn’t expected... to end up loving you this much."

If I had thought of it then, I would have certainly, certainly beaten you to it and said: I want to say, I’m willing to marry you.

(That’s a little touching, isn’t it~)
