Doomsday: I Can Get a Hint-Chapter 423 - 262: Hexagonal Warrior

"You like me?"

Wang Hao was a bit confused.

"If I didn’t like you, do you think I would just let you bully me?"

Chen Lingxue said calmly.

But the blush on her face betrayed her.

Even for her, making such a confession was quite embarrassing.

"Uh... why do you like me? Besides my looks, I seem to have nothing else going for me?"

Wang Hao was still a bit confused.

Chen Lingxue couldn’t help but roll her eyes.

Sure, you’re handsome, but don’t you find it awkward to say that?

"Because I’ve felt a rare sincerity from you. Initially, I thought you were just good at pretending.

But after spending more time with you, I realized you really weren’t after my money."

"I bet a lot of people like you, right? You’re so pretty and outstanding, there must be plenty who are drawn just to your looks, no?"

Wang Hao expressed his disbelief.

"There are those who don’t care about my money, but they lack your courage and ability to get close to me.

And of course, none of them are as easy on the eyes as you."

Chen Lingxue said lightly.

Wang Hao: ....

It’s like when Su Jing was named the city of highest happiness index, first in happiness level.

A hexagonal city, not particularly outstanding in any way, but very strong overall.

Your economy is better, but your environment is not as good; your environment’s better, yet your economy falls short.

And let’s not forget education, culture, health, and so forth.

Those after Chen Lingxue’s money aren’t as sincere as Wang Hao; those who aren’t after her money can’t get close, and those who can get close aren’t as handsome as he is.

If you’re more handsome than him, maybe you won’t get along.

That’s why Chen Lingxue has developed some feelings for Wang Hao.

Sincerity might mean nothing to gold diggers, but for someone like her—constantly coveted as a super-rich girl—it’s incredibly precious.

Wang Hao suddenly appeared in front of her, with one hand propped on the back of the sofa and the other lifting her chin, a charming smile on his face:

"Since you like me and I like you, why don’t we make my previous words come true and have a little baby?"

Chen Lingxue looked up at Wang Hao, also with a smile on her face:

"What’s this? The apocalypse has come, and suddenly you’re a lot bolder! Weren’t you the kind who’d only dare steal a kiss and then run off, like a little trashy coward after some drinks?"

Oh, come on!

Having his past thrown back at him, Wang Hao was a bit irritated.

He leaned in and kissed Chen Lingxue on her lips.

Hmm...

Soft, with a slight sweetness.

This reminded Wang Hao of a kiss from before.

But it was different now, as Chen Lingxue’s lips felt a bit cold.

Just as Wang Hao was about to deepen the kiss, Chen Lingxue suddenly pushed him away forcefully.

"You’ve been watching too many dramas? Trying to play the domineering CEO with me? I’m not some naive schoolgirl fresh out of the campus."

Chen Lingxue tried her best to appear calm, but her heaving chest and the blush on her face betrayed her.

After all, she was just kissed!

Even some worldly-wise fools would have a physiological response, perhaps even feel moved.

Let alone her.

Wang Hao conveniently sat beside her.

"Want to grab dinner together? This refuge must have a restaurant, right?"

Gee, Wang Hao was quick to change the topic.

Not feeling awkward at all.

"You go eat by yourself; things are pretty chaotic now. Tonight, I’ll probably have to face questions from my family."

Chen Lingxue said, a bit helpless.

Wang Hao nodded.

He didn’t expect to win over Chen Lingxue right now.

Such things only happen in novels.

Between the two of them, it was just youthful attraction, mutual attraction.

If it were back then, on that night...

If Wang Hao wanted to, under the influence of alcohol, he might have had a chance with Chen Lingxue.

But after being apart for so long, and with Chen Lingxue having grown up and entered society, has she not met countless people?

How could she just end up with him out of the blue?

"Then I’ll explore on my own; this place is really nice. I don’t even want to leave."

Wang Hao casually put his arm around Chen Lingxue’s shoulder, breathing in her unique scent:

"Lingxue, you don’t seem very happy here."

"Someone like me, what’s there to be happy about?"

A wry smile appeared on Chen Lingxue’s face.

She didn’t resist Wang Hao’s embrace.

This was the first, and only man so far, who had entered her heart.

Being by Wang Hao’s side brought her an inexplicable sense of safety.

"Times have changed; it’s the end of the world now. Why are you still so stressed?"

Wang Hao found it hard to understand.

Why do these people, who could easily relax, choose to strive and take risks?

Chen Lingxue fell silent, a flash of confusion in her eyes.

What Wang Hao said, she hadn’t really considered before.

In truth, she could have controlled this entire refuge.

If only she hadn’t informed those relatives, or after informing them, kept them under control.

After all, she had fortuitously gained the Ice Phoenix superpower, which could have allowed her to take power by force.

She didn’t need to be constrained by relatives or even her father.

But she didn’t do that.

This was deeply rooted family thinking, or perhaps bloodline compulsion.

"You go ahead; I’m going to take a nap, and later, I’ll take Yueyue out for a walk."

Wang Hao stood up, heading to the room, and halfway there, seemed to remember something, turning to ask:
