Chapter 1098: Finally, Together

Ning Chen didn't know how to describe his current feelings: emotion, having his wish granted, and a touch of bitterness.

All of it ultimately turned into a single light sigh.

To Gu Yanqi's ears, this sigh sounded like a rejection in disguise; she bit her lip, not knowing what to do, unable to move her legs, and could only stand there dazed.

Seeing Gu Yanqi's expression, Ning Chen knew what the girl was overthinking again.

Whether it was Si Shiya in the past or Gu Yanqi now, he could read what she was thinking from her face; truly... she hadn't changed at all.

She was still her, his beloved.

Ning Chen reached out, pulling Gu Yanqi into his embrace; smelling the familiar fragrance, Ning Chen felt a sense of fulfillment unlike anything before.

Holding her was like holding the whole world.

Held in Ning Chen's arms, Gu Yanqi's entire body stiffened; she blinked, suddenly thinking of something.

Brother Ning is... accepting her?!

The sorrow hadn't even dissipated before it was replaced by overwhelming joy.

It was at this very moment that Gu Yanqi realized that such intense joy could truly exist.

Whether she was a substitute or not, she accepted it.

From this angle, Gu Yanqi could see Ning Chen's jet-black, beautiful hair; though he was a boy, his hair looked smoother than a girl's.

Unable to hold back, Gu Yanqi raised her hand and patted Ning Chen's head; sure enough, just as she had imagined, the texture was excellent.

Ning Chen, being patted on the head, felt no aversion; instead, he took Gu Yanqi's hand, which had touched and immediately withdrawn, and placed it back on his head.

He was like a dog waiting to be petted.

If Ning Chen were a big dog, Gu Yanqi would probably see a tail wagging constantly behind him at this moment.

While they were embracing over here, the three people on the other side were all spectating.
