XG 197 - This could be considered as a breakthrough

Wong Xue Guo had sent a message to her Godbrother about what she was about to do and surprisingly get full permission to use the backyard, where she had seen people carrying suspicious long bags in the middle of the night. There were many questions in her mind about why she could not do it at a greener or even at a lab where someone would take notes.

But it was indeed safer to accidentally absorb energy from the greens than living people if anything goes wrong.

After making an appointment to do it after midnight with fewer survivors awake at that time, Nana quickly finished her meal and leave after seeing that Wong Xue Guo was half distracted. Not long after, Chen Yibo knocked on her door.

She did not expect that as soon as she opened the door, Chen Yibo immediately presented her with a bouquet with more greens than flowers. The choice of flowers was clumsily selected, not that there were many choices to pick from nearby their base.

"Will you be my girlfriend, with the intention of marriage?"

The sudden confession blew away any thoughts in her mind, but her hands automatically reached out to take the flowers. "Are you serious?"

Of all things he could have talked about tonight, she had not expected straight forward confession, especially so with flowers! But it does tickle her romantic heart until it twists around like a shy maiden.

"I don't joke about something this serious. Instead of accepting your confession, it is more proper for a man to do the confession."

"What about Yoon Binna?" Wong Xue Guo carelessly slipped out when her mind was still not working properly and allowed her heart to step up to the front.

Like many moments where a person's heart blurted out the deepest thoughts they wanted to hide, she was hit by the storm of mortification.

"You know about Yoon Binna?"

Wong Xue Guo's expression turned sour. Yoon Binna had already made her move, or else Chen Yibo's question would be different.

"Why? Did she confess to you? Are you going to consider her?"

Having the need to constantly guard any bees around her boyfriend was not attractive at all. If her boyfriend does not do the job himself, could she still trust him not to be robbed away? Even if Chen Yibo was a rare diamond, if he does not have any self-protection, she would be the one exhausted at the end of the day after dealing with the thieves.

She would then rather give up this diamond than harm herself just to keep it.

Chen Yibo smiled wryly. "You are the one I'm confessing to. I had also properly rejected her."

Wong Xue Guo finally regained her rationality with a strong flush of shame. Of course, he would have rejected Yoon Binna or else how would he dare to come over and do a confession?

The apartment hallway was empty, as most occupants had jobs to do even at odd hours, but Wong Xue Guo still felt awkward to have their private business exposed to the public eye.

"Come in first."

"If I come in, does that mean you are accepting me?"

"If I reject you, I'm a scum that tosses you away after having a bite of you."
