Chapter 1120: Lin Qingruo Confesses to Xu Chen! Xu Chen

At that moment, Xu Chen and Lin Qingruo pinky-swore, saying they wouldn't change for a hundred years.

After the pinky-swear, Xu Chen nodded.

Lin Qingruo had a little girl's personality; this pinky-swear was equivalent to a promise.

At that moment, Lin Qingruo exclaimed excitedly: "Can I play with the animals inside now?"

Xu Chen nodded: "Yes, but be careful."

Lin Qingruo said cheerfully: "Don't worry, I know."

Saying this, Lin Qingruo dashed off and entered the zoo directly.

Soon, she began playing with the little spirit beasts.

Not long after, she had already bonded with them completely.

Xu Chen chuckled softly—perfect, everything was going exactly as planned.

He even sensed Lin Youxin, Lin Moran, and others lurking in the shadows.

But it didn't matter—he couldn't be bothered to pay attention.

After all, he was gradually deepening his bond with Lin Qingruo through subtle, everyday actions.

No one else could notice.

As expected, Lin Moran and the others were utterly baffled.

Lin Moran said directly: "I still can't tell what Xu Chen is up to."

Lin Youxin also said helplessly: "I can't tell either."

Lin Xianling covered her mouth and giggled: "Relax, Xu Lang has no ill intentions."

The other three women were speechless—how had Xian Ling been so easily swayed?

Lin Qingxian's eyes flickered slightly, as if she had thought of something.

But in the end, she said nothing.

She whispered: "Let's wait and see. In a month, something will surely become clear."

The other three women nodded—this made sense.

By the end of the month, all his goals should be plainly revealed.

Just as the four women had expected.

Over the course of that month, Xu Chen taught Lin Qingruo daily how to raise spirit beasts.

He rose early and stayed up late; Lin Qingruo put in tremendous effort.

Sometimes Xu Chen made Lin Qingruo cry, sometimes he wiped away her sweat.

Sometimes he cooked for her, sometimes he helped her solve cultivation problems.

Even, Xu Chen occasionally created moments of intimate contact.

Like holding hands, or accidentally kissing her.

In a short time, Xu Chen and Lin Qingruo's relationship skyrocketed.

Soon, under Xu Chen's manipulation, they had become inseparable confidants.

After all, how could spending every day together not deepen their bond?

Especially since Xu Chen understood so much and shared her love for animals.

Lin Qingruo's little heart had already begun pounding.

Of course, neither had declared their relationship.

Xu Chen also wouldn't declare it yet.

He would wait until the final day—then everything would flow as easily as a boat carried by the current.

Soon, the month passed swiftly.

As agreed, it was time for Xu Chen to leave.

He mused to himself—now was the right moment to confess.

Then, as planned, after Lin Qingruo accepted, he would reject her harshly.

That way, Lin Qingruo would suffer a massive shock.

Wouldn't that restore her memories?

Having thought this, Xu Chen was about to speak.

"... Xu Chen, let's be together."

But unexpectedly, Lin Qingruo's confession came first.

Xu Chen: "......"
