Love Gambit: The Untouchable Tycoon is So Dangerous-Chapter 323 - 324: From now on, I have you by my side

Though she said he didn’t have to answer, deep down Xiangsi really wanted to hear Xing Chen’s response.

Did he genuinely not care about those things, or was it that... he just especially tolerated her?

The answer to this question was incredibly important.

Xing Chen didn’t think much, just propped his arm back, gazing at the undulating surface of the water ahead, his dark eyes slightly somber.

"As the heir of the Wilson family, the only thing I can disregard is my own freedom."

To Xing Chen, this answer was truly fitting.

On the contrary, there were too many things he had to care about...

Listening to him, Ran Xiangsi suddenly realized she could actually feel the sorrow in Xing Chen’s words.

Maybe it’s because she was in such deep sorrow herself right now?

Understanding someone else’s sadness and pain didn’t seem so difficult anymore.

"I heard from your mother that you lived alone from a young age, and you’ve been living alone all these years. Your world, it must be quite lonely, right?"

For some reason, Ran Xiangsi always felt that she and Xing Chen were the same kind of person.

Whether lively and cute on the outside, or glamorous, or cold and arrogant... there was a lonely place in each of their hearts.

Perhaps, this was the reason they were drawn to each other initially?

Just one look into each other’s eyes, and they could feel the things hidden deep in the other’s soul.

Xing Chen did not expect his mother would tell Ran Xiangsi these things.

He turned to look at her, his gaze much clearer, "From now on, with you by my side, I will never be lonely again."

Such a simple sentence, he said it so lightly, almost like a joke.

But to Ran Xiangsi’s ears, it felt as heavy as a thousand pounds.

Did he mean to imply that she should stay by his side for a lifetime?

This person, really... Such an important vow, he said it as if it was nothing.

Ran Xiangsi sniffled, turned her head to secretly wipe away her tears, really wanting to scold him.

Idiot... why do you always say such touching words?

She was no longer worthy of him! What on earth is going on in his mind?!

As Ran Xiangsi turned her head, Xing Chen also turned to look at her exquisite side profile.

He didn’t know she was wiping away her tears, thinking she was just looking at the scenery on the side...

What Xiangsi didn’t know was that Xing Chen wasn’t foolish, he just knew very well what he wanted in life.

He wanted Ran Xiangsi’s companionship, so he could disregard those unimportant things.

In this lifetime, the most important thing is to realize what you truly want and what kind of life you wish to live...

Xing Chen was a rare transparent person, he understood his aspirations, he knew everything he wanted.

What he wanted... was the girl beside him who always stirred his heart.

The wind by the sea picked up.

It blew her loose hair, swirling around, brushing past the girl’s slender, fair neck.

At that moment, Xing Chen suddenly felt her beauty was so pure, so moving...

Without much thought, he leaned in and kissed her on the side of her face.

The cool kiss landed on her skin, startling Ran Xiangsi.

She instinctively turned her head, even forgetting to wipe away the tear stains at the corner of her eyes.

As they locked eyes, Xing Chen suddenly frowned deeply.

He brushed away the tear on her cheek with his thumb and asked, "Why are you crying?"
