Chapter 215 I like you!
The helicopter circled over the sea for ten minutes without seeing Lin Yifan and An Qi surface, believing they had died, so it left.
As soon as it left, Lin Yifan immediately pulled An Qi up to the surface.
At this time, An Qi loudly questioned, "You big pervert! Why did you kiss me? Do you like me?"
That was the only question in her eyes, completely ignoring the fact that she was currently in the vast and dangerous sea.
"Uh... Well... I saw you were about to give out, so I had to resort to that," Lin Yifan answered evasively.
This female CEO was quite fiery, if he replied that he liked her, then he would be doomed.
"So you're saying you didn't kiss me because you like me?" An Qi asked, somewhat sadly.
Just a moment ago, she was immersed in joy, but as soon as they surfaced, things took a different turn.
"Uh... Boss An, you're my boss. How could I dare to overstep my boundaries?" Lin Yifan answered seriously.
"What if I weren't your boss? Would you like me then?" An Qi stared into Lin Yifan's eyes, questioning him word by word.
This question was very important, she had to get it clear.
Looking at An Qi at this moment, Lin Yifan felt that he could see a rich affection emanating from her eyes, and thought to himself, "She couldn't possibly have fallen for me just because of a kiss, right?"
After pondering for a long while, he answered with a mischievous smile, "If you weren't my boss, perhaps, possibly, maybe, I would like you."
"You... jerk! Do I look that embarrassing to you?" An Qi was angered, utterly annoyed.
"Boss An! You're graceful and sexy, how could you be embarrassing? It's just that your temper is a bit..." Lin Yifan continued to tease.
He wanted to see what kind of reaction this beautiful boss of his, who usually scolded and hit him, would give.
"Then do you like me when I'm like this?" After saying that, An Qi put on a gentle demeanor and said, "Yifan! You're so handsome today!"
"Ugh!"
Lin Yifan felt an urge to throw up; her words gave him the chills all over, making him extremely uncomfortable.
The changed An Qi was terrifying; he couldn't accept it, and found the usual An Qi better.
"What do you mean? Are you saying that you won't like me no matter what I do?" An Qi challenged him.
She had tried so hard to change, only to be met with such a reaction, which truly saddened her.
"No, no, Boss An, I still think you're more charming when you're fiery; it suits you better," Lin Yifan hurriedly replied.
Each person has their own personality, and trying to change it against the grain can backfire; he still preferred the original An Qi.
"Really? So you're saying that you like me?" An Qi was instantly happy again.
"Uh... Boss An, you keep asking if I like you; I also want to ask you, do you like me?" Lin Yifan asked seriously.
"I do! From the moment you saved me again, I started to like you," An Qi couldn't hold back any longer and confessed the love she had hidden in her heart for a long time.
Only, she never imagined she'd be confessing her feelings to Lin Yifan while adrift at sea.
"Uh..." Lin Yifan broke into a sweat on his forehead, not expecting this explosive-tempered boss who usually hit and scolded him to have fallen for him so early; how did he not notice at all?
Then he uncertainly asked, "Boss An! Are you sure it was since that time in the restaurant alley that you liked me?"
"Yes! Since that time, I've started to gradually like you," An Qi replied without any concealment.
Since she had confessed, there was nothing left to hide.
"..." Lin Yifan was speechless, at a loss for words.
Now, he had Zhou Jiajia, Su Qingqing, and Li Xiangmei; accepting An Qi at this moment would clearly be inappropriate.
Seeing Lin Yifan's prolonged silence, An Qi, with tears in her eyes, asked, "Big pervert! Don't you like me?"
Feeling rejected after a confession was truly unpleasant; she used to reject others before, and she never expected the tables to turn on her. How the wheel of fortune spins!
"It's not that I don't like you, it's just that I already have a girlfriend," Lin Yifan replied with some weight in his voice.
"You have a girlfriend and you kissed me! Scoundrel!" After saying that, An Qi slapped Lin Yifan's face. Then tears poured down, falling into the vast sea.
She had always thought that with her charm, she could surely win over Lin Yifan, unaware that he had no feelings for her whatsoever.
"I was saving you!" Lin Yifan protested, covering his stinging face.
The feeling at this moment was as sharp and biting as when they first met.
"You might as well have let me die! Wahh!" An Qi sobbed inconsolably, nothing could be more painful than being rejected by the one she loved.
"An Qi! Life is precious, don't waste your youth because of me. The world is so big, there are many better than me. Don't be sad, you will eventually meet someone who will cherish you, love you, protect you, and accept all of you," Lin Yifan consoled her instead of blaming her like the first time.
Because the biggest difference this time was that An Qi liked him.
"I have already met that person, and that person is you," An Qi replied with tears in her eyes.
In this lifetime, she didn't like anyone else, just Lin Yifan.
"Me? How could that be?" Lin Yifan found it a bit laughable, he had never felt anything romantic towards An Qi, so where was this talk of cherishing and protecting coming from?
"You've always been cherishing me, loving me, protecting me, tolerating all my princess faults, haven't you?" An Qi countered.
"Well... Isn't that the duty of a bodyguard?" Lin Yifan sweated profusely, feeling that she was reading too much into it.
"I don't care, you kissed me, took away my first kiss, you have to take responsibility," An Qi said petulantly, throwing a tantrum.
Now, she would do anything to get Lin Yifan.
"But... I already have a girlfriend," Lin Yifan said with difficulty.
However, An Qi's reply shocked him: "Dump her."
"Pfft!"
Lin Yifan couldn't help but laugh, never anticipating that the female CEO would actually think of such a way to be with him.
But speaking seriously, he absolutely couldn't break up with Zhou Jiajia, because she was the woman he loved most right now; hence, he replied, "I'm sorry, I can't do that!"
"You... You jerk! Stinking bastard! You just know how to take advantage without any responsibility, don't you?" An Qi got angry once more, scolding furiously.
"I want to take responsibility too! But I also have to be responsible for my girlfriend! Do you like someone who is unrighteous, treacherous, and unfaithful?" Lin Yifan challenged.
"I don't care! I don't care! I want to be with you! Wahh!" An Qi continued to pound on Lin Yifan's chest, venting the frustration in her heart.
