It seemed that he was really drunk.
Li Yinian was a bit relieved. She had started to regret her impulsiveness, but since he was drunk, he shouldnât remember that she had been here.
Knowing that Ji Shiting wasnât a nosy person, she reckoned that he should probably help her keep it a secret.
Li Yinian closed the door and walked to the bed, sizing him up.
The manâs eyes were closed, covering his peach-blossom-shaped eyes. He looked more mature, and his handsome face looked more unapproachable.
Perhaps because he was uncomfortable from being drunk, but his breathing was unstable, and his eyebrows were furrowed. However, he didnât look tipsy. It only smelled like alcohol when he was close.
Li Yinian sat down on the edge of the bed and leaned closer. Her long hair fell and scratched his face, but the man didnât notice it.
She couldnât help sliding her fingers from his forehead to the bridge of his nose and then to his lips.
âQiao Yanze, arenât you silly?â She suddenly sighed. âCanât we part peacefully? Why must you be so stubborn? Donât you know that I approached you premeditated?â
She lowered her voice, but the man seemed to hear it. His eyelids twitched.
Li Yinian said, âWhen I first saw you, you were surrounded by many young girls. You had a gentle and frivolous face, and you were saying sweet nothings, but there was no fire in your eyes. I thought at that time that this man was really interesting. This is the reason that I got close to you. However, my parents donât approve of me dating you. They think youâre the youngest in the Qiao family and have always been idle. Youâre destined to have nothing to do with the identity of the head of the Qiao family. They raised me to get excellent returns. How can they bear to bet on you?â
âBut I donât want to hear it. Iâve been restrained for twenty years, and being with you is probably the most rebellious thing Iâve ever done, so they had to compromise later.â Li Yinian smiled. âBut I didnât expect⦠Anyway, promise me not to waste time on
me.â
Someone grabbed her wrist at this point.
Li Yinian was shocked, and then she saw the manâs dark eyes. His eyes were still watery, but they were clear, which meant⦠he wasnât drunk at all.
âWhat didnât you think of?â Qiao Yanze said.
Li Yinian pursed her lips and said calmly, âI didnât expect my passion to subside so quickly, and your feelings have become a burden to me, so I ran away.â
Qiao Yanze smirked ambiguously.
âI donât believe you havenât regained your passion in the past three years.â His voice was deep and hoarse.
âNo,â Li Yinian said without hesitation, staring at him with her clear eyes.
âThen, why did you come here so late at night? You should know that the two kids must be asleep at this time. You wonât be able to see them even if you come. Or perhaps youâre here for Shiting.â
Li Yinian blushed and couldnât help but rebut, âHow could I be here for Mr. Ji?â
âHuh? Does that mean youâre here for me?â The man smiled.
