Chapter 1096 Chapter 1097 The Meaning of Family

"The meaning of family..."

Bai Qi had never heard such words before, and he was suddenly shocked.

"Xiaobai, I understand your situation better than anyone else. If I was afraid of being dealt with by Yun Huai, I could have pretended not to know you! But the fact is - I chose the easiest way to expose my identity, came to your side, and openly told everyone that I love you!" Ji Ye's voice became more and more gentle: "In order to be with you, I don't know how much preparation I have made...

Xiaobai, the Ji family and I have never been a burden to you, but your family and your help! If you want to face Yun Huai head-on, let us be your backing. If he wants to hurt the Ji family, you have to protect us; similarly, if he wants to hurt you, we also want to protect you!

There is no need to let the Ji family hide behind you, it has enough strength to stand up and support the sky. Xiaobai... let me go with you to face him... okay?"

"Ji Ye..." Bai Qi's eyes flowed with an imperceptible heat.

She was speechless!

These years of fighting alone have made Bai Qi accustomed to facing everything alone. Even after having Ji Ye, she only added Ji Ye and the Ji family to the list of how to ensure the safety of the people around her in her daily thinking!

But she never thought... to let him fight side by side with her.

Together?

Such a strange and unreachable word was the first one to be passed in her education from childhood to adulthood.

Both her father and Yun Huai had deeply instilled a concept in her mind: Don't trust anyone except yourself!

Her fragile back cannot be handed over to others, even the most trusted person! Otherwise, being stabbed from behind by them would be the most fatal.

Therefore, all along, Bai Qi's thoughts and concerns were how to arrange everyone around him and then go to the battle alone.

But now...

Ji Ye stared at the starry sky and said affectionately: "Xiao Bai, when I mentioned this to you last time, I hadn't proposed to you yet. I'm afraid that telling you that the Ji family will be your backing will make you more worried. But now, you have already regarded us as family, so... we should share the joys and sorrows and advance and retreat together, right?"

Bai Qi's eyes were hot: "I..."

"You don't have to take everything on your own." Ji Ye said gently, "No matter what happens, I'm here."

This sentence made Bai Qi dazed for a moment.

The night wind blew, lifting the broken hair by the ear. The face that was so beautiful that it didn't seem like the human world, with a dull expression, froze in place, like a painting. Bai Qi's right hand always kept the posture of holding the phone, as if he was in a trance. He never moved a bit.

Ji Ye knew that she was thinking, and leaned quietly on the railing, only occasionally a slight breathing sound came out of the phone, proving that he was always there.

For a long time...

It seemed like a century had passed.

Bai Qi finally spoke, his voice was a little muffled, but very firm: "Okay."

Ji Ye's heart was relieved, he smiled lightly: "Then I'll let mom arrange the cocktail party, how about it next weekend?"

Bai Qi held back the bitterness in his eyes and smiled: "All right."

Ji Ye breathed a sigh of relief: "I'll be back after training tomorrow. Then, I'll accompany you to send my sister and grandma to the old man's house."

Bai Qi thought about it and agreed: "Yeah."
