Chapter 108: Mistakes Made, Let’s Date!

Upon hearing this, Airael stopped shaking her head.

Then she shot a frustrated glance at Axi and retorted, “What do you think?”

Axi moved his lips but couldn’t bring himself to say anything.

He had a feeling that the more he talked, the worse the situation would get.

But staying silent wasn’t making him feel any better either.

He was also puzzled about why he had lost control earlier. Even though he had feelings for Airael, he prided himself on his self-discipline and really shouldn’t have acted that way. Yet, here he was, having violated Airael’s space.

“I’m sorry!”

In the end, Axi could only apologize again.

Every wrong was his fault.

“Now that I’ve done this, I’ll take responsibility for it. Ailia, you can ask me to do anything.”

Saying that, Axi adopted an attitude of leaving it all to Airael.

Watching the seemingly sincere Axi, Airael was suddenly at a loss for words.

No matter how she looked at it, her reputation was already tarnished by Axi.

Except for the last few steps, everything else had either been kissed or touched by him.

She really did get the short end of the stick.

So, for a moment, she genuinely didn’t know how to deal with Axi.

No matter how lenient or strict she was, it felt inappropriate.

If she went easy on him, she couldn’t vent her frustrations, and if she went hard, it seemed a bit unfair to Axi.

She had her own share of guilt in this matter.

She had initially planned to take advantage of the situation.

And now, she almost ended up giving herself away entirely.

As she thought back to what had happened, especially that tempting feeling of crime…

Airael’s face flushed.

But it wasn’t from shyness; it was anger.

She was mad at herself.

Was she that desperate?

Why couldn’t she shake the images from earlier out of her head?

The room fell into silence once more.

Airael tried to push aside thoughts of what had just happened, while Axi was left waiting for Airael’s verdict on how he’d be handled.

At that moment, neither of them felt good.

Finally unable to forget, Airael decided to stop the pointless struggle and locked her gaze on Axi.

Axi, still with his head down, felt Airael’s stare and lifted his head to meet her gaze.

He had braced himself for punishment.

So he looked quite composed.

This casual demeanor of Axi stirred something in Airael’s heart.

A bold idea solidified in her mind.

She pondered a moment before asking, “Axi, tell me, do you like me?”

Axi was taken aback by such a question; his brain momentarily malfunctioned.

What was going on?

“I’m asking you! Didn’t you hear me?”

Seeing the dazed Axi, Airael’s frustration flared again.

Axi snapped back to reality and hurriedly replied, “I must like you.”

“What do you mean ‘must’?”

Airael was not satisfied with that response.

Axi looked awkward and didn’t know how to answer.

He was also afraid his answer would only serve to make Airael angrier.

There’s no helping it; women are truly hard to please!

Even while thinking this, Axi didn’t see Airael as a nuisance like before.

He refrained from giving her the cold shoulder and instead opted to communicate with her to resolve their situation.

“So, do you like me or not?”

Not getting a quick answer caused Airael to dig deeper.

“I do like you!”

Axi blurted out, sounding quite sure.

Just a moment ago, he had figured out some things.

He realized he felt differently about Airael.

If what he felt could be called liking, then it was indeed true.

And anyway, he had done something with Airael just now.

As a man, he had to take responsibility for that.

Seeing Axi’s newfound composure, Airael smiled.

Now that’s the kind of guy she liked!

With everything going on, there was no need to keep tiptoeing around, acting more feminine than women do.

As Airael suddenly beamed with joy, Axi found himself utterly confused.

“Axi, since you like me, let’s date!”

Next, Airael dropped a bombshell.

After much contemplation, she figured this approach was rather effective.

Besides, she was going to need a man as a tool for reproduction sooner or later.

And Axi wasn’t bad; he suited her taste.

Since she had already let Axi gain an advantage due to her mistake, tarnishing her reputation, why not let this mistake continue?

Though it might be unfair to Axi since she wasn’t fully sure if she liked him, she was merely considering factors after what had happened. But hey, he messed up her reputation, right?

As for her other suitors, let them keep pursuing her; she never planned to respond to them anyway.

“Ai… Ailia, what did you just say?”

Axi was momentarily shell-shocked.

“I said, let’s date.”

Airael stepped closer to Axi, facing him directly.

“Don’t you like me?”

Faced with Airael’s question, Axi nodded dazedly.

He still couldn’t fully grasp what was happening.

Seeing him like that, Airael couldn’t help but laugh.

She felt so much lighter.

It was like a heavy burden was finally lifted from her heart.

Coming back to reality, Axi looked at the charmingly smiling Airael right in front of him.

Overwhelmed, he pulled Airael into his embrace and pressed his lips against hers.

This time, Airael didn’t refuse.

In fact, she actively reciprocated Axi’s kiss.

That enticing feeling of criminality was something she couldn’t resist, especially after coming to terms with her feelings now.

Airael and Axi were utterly lost in each other.

…

Airael lay exhausted against Axi’s chest.

They were covered with a thin blanket.

Axi carefully held Airael close, feeling sorry for how he had worn her out.

But at that moment, Airael was too distracted by another issue.

She realized something strange was happening to her body.

It seemed she had undergone a breakthrough!
