A second chance with my billionaire husband-Chapter 1514 - 292: Stars Surrounding the Moon, Surfacing

Five minutes ago.

In the back garden.

"Senior, actually I... I..." Tao Yuzhu mustered the courage to confess.

Under the gentle gaze of the man above her, Tao Yuzhu’s small hands clenched into fists; it was do or die...

"Senior, can I be your girlfriend?" She had already found out that, although many girls confessed to him every day, including the most beautiful girls in the department and class, he had never accepted any of them.

And he never got too close with any girls, proving he kept himself untainted.

As soon as she spoke, she looked cautiously and full of expectation at the man in front of her.

The man’s face appeared even more handsome under the moonlight, and she gazed at him, mesmerized.

"No." The man directly refused, his cool voice containing a detached aloofness.

Tao Yuzhu’s face stiffened, the expectation in her eyes slowly dissipating into hopelessness.

She had failed again, and might not even be able to say a word to him in the future. Why was she so impulsive? At this moment, she was so frustrated she wished she could slap herself.

"A confession should be made by the man." In the night, the gentle voice flowed slowly, yet it was the most beautiful sound she’d ever heard.

She suspected she had heard wrong, incredulously raising her eyes, only to instantly meet the deep, dark gaze of the man. That gaze, like gentle spring water, slowly surrounded her.

"Senior, what... what did you just say?"

The man pressed his lips together, seeming somewhat embarrassed, a blush slowly creeping up his ears.

Tao Yuzhu suddenly grabbed his arm with excitement and eagerly asked, "You actually like me too, don’t you? Senior, say something. I’ll count to three, if you don’t answer, that’s a tacit admission."

"One, two, three." She said in one breath without pausing and then suddenly smiled like a blooming flower, "Senior, admit it, you do like me too, don’t you? It’s nothing to be ashamed of, I won’t laugh at you."

The man’s ears grew even redder, his gaze turning elsewhere, not daring to meet her eyes.

Tao Yuzhu didn’t mind, taking his arm with a cheerful smile, "Senior, I know you’re thin-skinned, it’s hard to say some things, so let me say it, okay?"

Lau Yixuan glanced at her, his throat bobbing slightly, just about to say something when a hurried female voice called out.

"Yuzhu? Are you there?"

Tao Yuzhu instantly responded with a cheerful smile, "It’s Yun Ya, she came to find me."

Tao Yuzhu bounced up and waved, "I’m over here."

Lau Yixuan then saw a young woman approaching, wearing a nude-colored long dress with a men’s jacket over it. The woman’s figure was graceful, her features elegant, her temperament noble and refined. The moonlight spilled over her brows and hair, and she walked with an otherworldly beauty, untouched by earthly concerns.

Lau Yixuan was not someone who judged by appearances, but at this moment, he was deeply captivated by her beauty.

But soon, he returned to his usual self.

Seeing Tao Yuzhu was fine, Ji Yunya let out a sigh of relief, "I was really scared just now, I ran into Shanshan, and she said you were eaten by a ghost. That’s truly ridiculous. How could there be a ghost?"

Tao Yuzhu frowned slightly, "What is Shanshan up to?"

Just then, a strange noise suddenly came from the side. In the night, it was chilling to hear. Tao Yuzhu screamed, instinctively shrinking into Lau Yixuan’s arms. Lau Yixuan held her, when suddenly a strong wind blew over, causing Yun Ya’s body to sway, and she nearly fell towards Lau Yixuan. Seeing the terrified look on the girl’s face, Lau Yixuan instinctively reached out to catch her, ignoring Tao Yuzhu in his arms, who then fell away.

She looked incredulously at the man, who was gazing at the girl he had caught with a softness she’d never seen.

Her heart throbbed with unstoppable pain. Could everything just now have been a mere dream?

Ji Yunya quickly pushed herself away, stepping back, "Thank you."

The softness of the girl’s body lingered at his fingertips, a faint fragrance of the girl wafting to his nose, more intoxicating than the night itself.

He was momentarily stunned.

Ji Yunya quickly bent down to help Tao Yuzhu.

"Don’t touch me."

Tao Yuzhu shrieked, suddenly pushing Yun Ya away.

Ji Yunya pressed her lips together, "Yuzhu, what’s wrong with you?"

Tao Yuzhu also asked herself what was wrong. Yun Ya hadn’t done anything wrong. Perhaps she was overthinking it. Lau Yixuan liked her, and he was just being polite to Yun Ya...

But looking at the beautiful, graceful girl in front of her, and the stark contrast to her current disheveled self, she could no longer deceive herself. An intense sense of inferiority suddenly rose in her heart. She asked herself honestly, if she and Ji Yunya stood together, whom would Lau Yixuan choose?
