Chapter 595 - It Can Work. Your Reply

"Ow…" Qin Yirou fell hard. Her eyes were clamped shut in anticipation of the painful thud that would come after her heavy fall. It came unexpectedly when she did not even feel a throb the moment she landed. It was like she fell on a fleshy cushion.
A fleshy cushion? Where did it come from?
Behind her, Ge Junjian's grunt and groan were heard.
Qin Yirou picked herself up quickly. Just as she turned, she saw Ge Junjian being sprawled on the floor as her human cushion. Blinking, she stood up in a hurry and turned around.
"Officer Ge, what… what are you doing?" Overwhelmed, Qin Yirou helped the man up.
"Hah, I'm fine. I'm strong! It's no big deal!" Ge Junjian tried before he patted his back that Qin Yirou had fallen on and asked her, "Are you alright? Did you get hurt anywhere?"
"I-I'm okay," Qin Yirou turned as she said.
If Ge Junjian watched carefully, he would have seen the tears brimming the woman's eyes.
Qin Yirou was moved. Her children were filial but they would never be around her all the time. Ge Junjian was not her family but he would rather be injured and make sure she was fine. Qin Yirou was moved beyond words.
She even thought that if Yun Gang had been only 10% as nice as Ge Junjian was to her, she might actually spend the rest of her life with him just like that.
"You—Don't cry. What's wrong?" Ge Junjian was helpless when he realized that Qin Yirou was tearing up with her back against him.
"It-it's nothing, Officer Ge. I just thought of my ex-husband. If he were one-tenth as nice as you are, I'd have spent the rest of my life with him." Qin Yirou's tears fell incessantly.
"Am I that nice? I'm nothing like you said. If I were this great, my ex-wife wouldn't have asked for a divorce." Ge Junjian was surprised but a hint of sorrow crept in after he heard what Qin Yirou said.
"Officer Ge, don't be too hard on yourself. To us women, you're the best kind to end up with. Your ex-wife wasn't foresighted, else she wouldn't have divorced someone as competent as you are. If it were me, I wouldn't leave you regardless." As they chatted, Qin Yirou talked freely.
"Then, why don't the both of us get married?" Ge Junjian's suggestion shocked Qin Yirou.
She was frozen for three seconds before she stuttered, "Off-officer Ge, don't joke about matters like this."
Ge Junjian took the chance to hold her hands, telling Qin Yirou, "I'm not joking. We aren't getting younger and our children are growing up. If you'd like, let's get married and spend the rest of our days together. If you don't want that, I, Ge Junjian, will never push for it!"
Qin Yirou hesitated to look at Ge Junjian's sincere gaze.
"Alright, I won't push it. Yirou, give it some thought." Ge Junjian chuckled before turning serious. "I'm serious about this though. We've been through this, even though we don't know each other for long. I'll wait for your reply."
Ge Junjian dried the spilled water on the floor for Qin Yirou and tidied things up before he took his leave while Qin Yirou went into deep thoughts.
To be honest, it was not like she had no feelings for Ge Junjian. She did not know him for long but the familiar feeling and bond when they talked came by unusually easy. Some people did not have to get close to each other but they felt like decades of old friends. Qin Yirou and Ge Junjian… She thought that if Xiao Jian and Xiao Yi agreed to them, it could work out.
