The Heir is Here: Quiet Down, School Prince!

An Xiaxia stammered nervously at his sudden movement. “You... you’re too close...”

“Why shouldn’t I be?” Sheng Yize lowered his pitch deliberately. “Are you having... improper thoughts?”

“I’m not! I’m not an infatuated girl anymore!” An Xiaxia bellowed righteously. Sheng Yize smiled a little, took her lips in his mouth, and bit them tenderly.

The little woman went scarlet right away.

“You were saying?” Sheng Yize raised an eyebrow.

Covering her cheeks with her hands, An Xiaxia said in exasperation, “Sheng Yize, you’re getting more and more annoying!”

Sheng Yize smiled, took An Xiaxia’s hand, and put a ring on her finger.

“This...” An Xiaxia eyes were wide open as she stared at the ring on her finger.

If she remembered correctly, this was the ring Sheng Yize had prepared when he had proposed to her on the Ferris wheel.

It was unbelievably exquisite.

“Do you like it?” Sheng Yize smiled and rubbed her hair.

An Xiaxia nodded affirmatively, then counted the pink diamonds on it like a little miser. “Wow... this must be worth a fortune.”

Sheng Yize was nonplussed. “You’re not thinking of selling it, are you?”

“Teehee.” An Xiaxia giggled. “This is going to be our heirloom. I’ll give it to our children and they’ll give it to theirs!”

That pleased Sheng Yize greatly. He smiled wholeheartedly and went back to kissing An Xiaxia.

“Hey... we’re in a school! This is highly inappropriate!” An Xiaxia kept dodging, but Sheng Yize wouldn’t let her go. He pressed her down on the desk and kissed her until he was satisfied.

When they finally parted, An Xiaxia’s lips were red and swollen.

He sat her down on his lap and smoothed down her ruffled hair, saying casually, “If you could go back to seven years ago, what’s the first thing you’d want to do?”

An Xiaxia tugged at her clothes, looking conflicted.

“I – I don’t know...”

There were so many trivial things she wanted to do that she couldn’t decide what to pick.

“What about you? What would you do?” An Xiaxia looked at him curiously.

Sheng Yize went quiet for a moment before saying in a frustrated voice, “I’d make sure I never let you go!”

He wouldn’t have allowed them to be separated for so many years. He had had so many regrets in those seven years and if he was given another chance, he would never let go of her hand!

An Xiaxia shivered and bit her lip. Her eyes brimmed with tears and after a long moment, she said, “I’m sorry...”

She owed Sheng Yize that. She owed him an explanation; she owed him for those seven years.

An Xiaxia couldn’t even begin to imagine how he had lived through all that. He didn’t want to show his face, but he couldn’t get her off his mind either. He had been there just to keep her safe and wanted nothing more.

She couldn’t have done it if she had been in his place.

“Are you still not going to give me an explanation?” Sheng Yize’s deep voice had a mesmerizing quality to it. “Tell me, please?”

All was quiet. The only sound in the classroom was their breathing.

An Xiaxia hesitated, but decided to tell him at last. “The day you proposed to me, I got a phone call...”

“Hm?” Sheng Yize narrowed his eyes. “Was it from an unknown number?”

“How do you know that?” An Xiaxia got excited. “Sheng Yize, do you know who it was? Was it really your father?”

A very long moment passed before Sheng Yize shook his head. “It wasn’t him.”
