113: Chapter 113 The Disabled CEO's Benefactor 10

Lu Zhan froze completely, his mind going blank for a moment as his eyes widened slightly.

Looking at Fu Jinghan, whose fingers were interlaced with his, a look of astonishment appeared on his face. Deep in his heart, ripples spread like a stone being thrown into a lake.

His fingers moved slightly out of instinct. Although they were still interlaced with Fu Jinghan's, for a moment, he didn't know how to respond.

Lu Zhan's silence caused Fu Jinghan's heart to tighten.

His heart was filled with both anticipation and fear.

He wondered if he had been too impulsive and if he would scare A-Zhan away because of it.

But he had finally made up his mind and no longer wanted to suppress his emotions; he longed for Lu Zhan to understand his feelings.

Lu Zhan's mind was in a whirl. On one hand, he had long admired and liked Fu Jinghan, a sentiment that was almost like looking up to an idol.

On the other hand, he knew clearly that this wasn't love.

He felt a bit flustered, not knowing how to face this situation. He didn't want to hurt Fu Jinghan, yet he didn't know how to define their relationship.

"Brother Han... I..."

Lu Zhan opened his mouth, only to find that speaking had become so difficult.

Conflict and confusion flickered in his eyes, and his expression became somewhat complex.

Lu Zhan kept asking himself in his heart: was this fondness really love? If not, how should he face Fu Jinghan's deep affection?

He felt as if he were trapped in a maze, unable to find an exit.

Fu Jinghan's hand tightened unconsciously. He really hoped A-Zhan would give him an affirmative answer.

"A-Zhan, I know this is sudden, but I really can't control my feelings anymore. A-Zhan, how do you actually feel about me?"

Lu Zhan bit his lip, his brow furrowing deeply.

"Brother Han, I do have feelings for you, but... I'm not sure if it's love. You saying this so suddenly makes me feel really overwhelmed.

Although I always joke with you and occasionally tease you on purpose, I've always seen you as my role model. I admire you greatly and am grateful for your kindness toward me.

But love... I really don't know how to define it right now."

Lu Zhan's voice grew lower and lower, his heart full of contradiction and struggle. He didn't know how to interact with Fu Jinghan next, nor where their relationship would lead.

Fu Jinghan's eyes dimmed for a moment, but his gaze soon turned firm again. He took Lu Zhan's right hand, kissed it lightly, and spoke softly.

"A-Zhan, I understand what you mean, but you don't dislike my affection, do you? Besides, didn't you say that I'm your standard for a partner?

Why don't you give me a chance, A-Zhan? Let's try and figure out this emotion together.

A-Zhan, please, don't reject me, okay?"

After saying this, Fu Jinghan looked at Lu Zhan nervously, forcing a faint smile onto his face while his heart was filled with trepidation.

Seeing Fu Jinghan's current state, a sense of pity welled up in Lu Zhan's heart, and he could no longer bring himself to say words of rejection.

After a moment of silence, as if he had finally made up his mind, Lu Zhan leaned slightly against Fu Jinghan's shoulder and spoke softly.

"Brother Han, I won't hide it from you. When someone as outstanding as you confesses to me, I do feel a bit moved.

But I'm really not sure if this is love, nor am I sure if I can truly walk this path with you forever.

But I'm willing to try with you. Like you said, I don't dislike any of this. Brother Han is very good to me and very charming!"

Fu Jinghan was stunned at first, as if he couldn't believe his ears. Then, a brilliant smile instantly bloomed on his face, filled with surprise and disbelief.

His eyes shone like bright stars, flickering with the light of excitement. His left hand trembled slightly as he gripped Lu Zhan's hand tightly, as if fearing Lu Zhan would regret it the moment he let go.

Fu Jinghan's lips trembled slightly as if he wanted to say something, but he was too excited to find the words.

Only after a long while did he murmur.

"A-Zhan, I... I'm truly so happy. You were silent for so long just now, I thought... I thought you were going to refuse."

Fu Jinghan's eyes reddened slightly, tears of joy welling up in them.

He gently pulled Lu Zhan into his arms, his movements as tender as if he were protecting a rare treasure.

Due to excessive excitement and exhilaration, Fu Jinghan's chest heaved violently like a surging sea, his heart beating as fast as a startled rabbit.

In this instant, he felt as if the whole world were a magnificent painting. It was as if all the sunlight were sprinkled over him like gold leaf, and the surrounding cold and darkness were dispelled by this warmth!

"Brother Han is so happy; do you really like me that much?"

Lu Zhan smiled, his gaze soft as he looked at Fu Jinghan, raising his arms to wrap them around the other's back.

"A-Zhan, it's more than just liking you. I love you very much. I can't live without you.

So no matter what happens in the future, please, don't leave me behind. I can do anything for you; I'll listen to you in everything."

Within those firm yet humble words, there was a faint hint of unease and fear.

Lu Zhan was touched. Such sincere and intense feelings deserved to be treated with kindness. He raised his hand to the back of the other's neck, stroking it gently to offer comfort.

"Brother Han, don't overthink it, and don't worry. You are so good to me; I will never leave you behind."

The soft words, like a vow, fell upon his ear. Most of the unease in Fu Jinghan's heart was dispelled, and a single tear unconsciously slid from the corner of his eye.

"A-Zhan, I'm taking the words you said seriously."

Lu Zhan pulled the man a bit tighter, leaning into Fu Jinghan's ear and giving a low hum of affirmation.

The heat from Lu Zhan's breath fell on his ear, and their upper bodies were pressed tightly together without a gap. All of this made Fu Jinghan very shy.

Both his ears were like ripe cherries, vivid and red, and his face was like a blooming peach blossom, tinged with patches of rosy clouds.

But his hands held Lu Zhan tightly, a satisfied smile gracing his face, his heart full of yearning and anticipation for the future.

After a moment, the two of them slowly separated.

Uncle Li had just come over with the servants to deliver the meal. Having accidentally caught sight of the two embracing, he immediately had the sense to lead everyone to wait outside the door.

After waiting for a while, seeing that the situation inside the room had returned to normal, he finally led the servants inside.

The servants performed their respective duties, setting out the sumptuous dinner before withdrawing.

Uncle Li walked to the side of the sofa, looking at the two whose magnetic field was clearly different, his eyes filled with happy tears.

He was happy for his young master; the young master had finally taken this step, and it seemed the result was good.

"Young Master, Young Master Lu, dinner is served."

Seeing Uncle Li's expression, Lu Zhan understood clearly. He said no more, just nodded, and stood up to head toward the dining table.
