Chasing His Ex: The Tycoon's Hidden Twins

Chapter 345: Chapter 214: Major Breakthrough in the Relationship! Actual Progress!

She stole a glance at Jiang Sifan, then quickly lowered her head.

Jiang Sifan noticed, and a sudden nervousness gripped him.

Finally, it was their turn.

The two of them entered the Ferris wheel cabin and sat down facing each other.

An attendant closed the door, and the Ferris wheel began its slow ascent.

The cabin wasn’t large, and it was just the two of them.

The windows were transparent, offering a view of the scenery outside.

As the Ferris wheel climbed higher, the view grew more and more expansive.

Wen Wan pressed her face against the window, her eyes full of wonder as she gazed at the scenery outside.

Everything in the amusement park shrank below them. The roller coaster tracks looked like a winding snake, the carousel a small, colorful disc, and the crowds a dense swarm of ants.

"Sifan, look! That’s the roller coaster we were just on," Wen Wan said excitedly, pointing down below.

Jiang Sifan followed her finger and smiled. "Yeah, I see it. It doesn’t look so scary from up here."

Hearing this, Wen Wan laughed too.

Jiang Sifan looked at her, and suddenly found he couldn’t look away.

The sunlight streamed through the glass, landing on her face and making her look beautiful.

Her eyelashes were long, her nose was straight and elegant, and her lips were pursed in a faint smile.

He stared, completely captivated.

Wen Wan suddenly turned her head, her gaze meeting his.

The two of them just looked at each other, neither one speaking.

The air seemed to freeze.

Wen Wan’s face slowly turned red, as red as a ripe apple.

She wanted to look away, but it was as if something held her in place, paralyzing her.

Jiang Sifan’s heart was also pounding—THUMP-THUMP-THUMP—startlingly clear in the quiet cabin.

He looked at Wen Wan’s sparkling eyes, at her faintly trembling eyelashes, and finally, his gaze fell upon her lips.

Her lips were small and delicate, a soft shade of pink, like two cherry blossom petals.

When slightly pursed, they held a hint of shyness, yet also a hint of allure.

The shape of her lips was beautiful. Her bottom lip was a little fuller, glistening with a dewy sheen in the light.

Jiang Sifan’s throat bobbed. He swallowed hard.

He was suddenly overcome with the desire to kiss her.

’But the last shred of my reason is telling me I can’t. I can’t take advantage of her.’

’She trusts me so much; I can’t take advantage of her vulnerability.’

Wen Wan blushed even deeper under his gaze, feeling as if her whole body was about to catch fire.

She lowered her head and bit her lip, her small teeth leaving a faint impression on the tender flesh.

She stammered softly, "Si... Sifan... Thank you. I had a really great time today."

Her voice was quiet and soft, like a feather tickling Jiang Sifan’s heart.

Jiang Sifan snapped back to his senses and said awkwardly, "I... me too."

Then, they both fell silent again.

The atmosphere grew increasingly intimate, and also increasingly awkward.

It was so quiet they could hear each other breathe.

Jiang Sifan’s heart was pounding.

He looked at Wen Wan’s hands, which were resting on her knees.

Her hands were small and fair, with long, slender fingers, like they were carved from jade.

Her nails were neatly trimmed, showing a faint pinkish hue and a healthy sheen in the light.

The faint blue veins on the back of her hands were just visible, adding a touch of fragile beauty.

’I should just take her hand and ask if she’ll be my girlfriend,’ he thought, trying to psych himself up.

But then, another thought surfaced in his mind.

’What about He Lingyi?’

’The girl who was going to confess to me after the college entrance exams, the girl who set her sights on Jinling Institute of Technology for my sake, the girl who had made my heart race just last night.’

’Am I just going to give up on her?’

Jiang Sifan hesitated.

’It was as if two little figures were fighting in his mind. One said that Wen Wan was so wonderful, he’d regret missing this chance for the rest of his life.’

’The other said that He Lingyi liked him so much, how could he bear to hurt her?’

He didn’t know which one to listen to.

In fact, Wen Wan was grappling with a similar dilemma.

She had been so happy, so blissful, spending the day with him.

’I wish every day could be like this—playing together, laughing together, doing happy things with Sifan.’

’I also want to ask Jiang Sifan if he has any feelings for me.’

But she didn’t dare.

’I’m afraid of not getting the answer I want, afraid that we wouldn’t even be able to be friends afterward.’

’I’m afraid that once I ask, this wonderful feeling we have now will disappear.’

Moreover, Jiang Sifan’s family was so wealthy.

’Uncle Lu lives in such a huge manor and employs so many chefs.’

Her family’s background and Jiang Sifan’s were worlds apart.

This huge disparity made her afraid to take a single step forward.

She was just a girl from an ordinary family. Her parents were simple farmers, and they didn’t have much money.

She had to think twice about buying an amusement park ticket, while Jiang Sifan’s home was a mansion with over twenty chefs.

’Am I worthy of him?’

The two of them sat there fidgeting awkwardly, neither one saying a word.

Outside the window, the scenery changed bit by bit as the Ferris wheel slowly rose to its peak and then began its descent.

The sunset visible from mid-air was brilliant.

But neither of them was in the mood to watch.

Not until the door opened and an attendant’s voice rang out, "Here you are. Please watch your step."

Only then did they realize that the entire ten-minute-plus Ferris wheel ride had been spent just like that.

The two of them walked out of the cabin, both in a bit of a daze.

With their minds so preoccupied, their steps felt unsteady.

Jiang Sifan stammered, "Um... we should head back."

Wen Wan nodded and replied, "Okay."

As they approached the amusement park’s exit, they saw that a huge number of people were leaving.

A long line had formed at the exit, a dense mass of bobbing heads packed so tightly it was impossible to get through.

Looking at the sea of people, an idea suddenly struck Jiang Sifan.

He turned his head and said to Wen Wan, "There are so many people. How about I hold your hand? I’m afraid we’ll get separated."

Wen Wan froze for a moment, then looked up at him.

Her gaze made Jiang Sifan feel a bit exposed, but he tried his best to stay calm, even as his heart pounded away.

Wen Wan’s face turned red again, all the way to the tips of her ears.

She lowered her head, silent for a few seconds, incessantly pursing her lips. It was clear she was nervous.

Then, she slowly held out her small hand.

It was small and fair, her fingers slightly curled.

A wave of elation washed over Jiang Sifan. He reached out and gently took her hand.

In that instant, a thrill shot through him, making his whole body feel weak.

Wen Wan’s hand was so soft, so small.

Holding it felt like holding a ball of cotton—light and plush.

Her skin was smooth like the finest silk, and warm with her body heat.

Her fingertips were a little cool, probably from nervousness.

He could feel a slight dampness in her palm, unsure if it was from nerves or the heat.

The faint beads of sweat made her skin feel even smoother.

The sensation traveled from his palm to his heart—a pleasant, tingling numbness, like a gentle electric shock. It made him feel weightless, as if he were walking on clouds.

He gently caressed the back of her hand with his thumb, and the delicate texture made his heart beat even faster.

With her hand in his, Wen Wan’s entire body went rigid.

She kept her head down, not daring to look at him. Her face was as hot as if she had a fever, and even her ears were red.

But she didn’t pull her hand back. She just let him hold it.

She could feel the warmth of his palm, large and comforting as it enveloped her own.

His fingers were long and strong, with thin calluses on the pads that tickled as they brushed against the back of her hand, making her own heart flutter.

And so, the two of them walked forward slowly, hand in hand.

Neither of them spoke a word.
