221 A Friendly Reminder
Le Wan couldnât help but swallow her saliva. âWell⦠Do you feel very uncomfortable?â
âTo be honest, Iâm starting to regret coming to see you tonight.â Zhai Jing sighed and shook his head.
Le Wan frowned and was about to ask him what he meant when she heard Zhai Jing say with a bitter smile,
âHow am I supposed to sleep tonight if you keep acting like this?â
He had underestimated Le Wanâs influence on him, and he had overestimated his self-control.
He was afraid that tonight, or many more nights in the future, he would dream of Le Wanâs innocent yet charming appearance.
Le Wan understood what he meant and looked at him working so hard. She bit her lower lip and asked hesitantly,
âYou⦠Do you need my help?â
Zhai Jing did not deny that he was tempted for a moment, but he still shook his head. They were outdoors and he couldnât let Le Wan do these things for him.
If he hadnât been unable to control his emotions just now and couldnât help hugging and kissing her, the two of them would have been a little too close.
After all, this was Le Wanâs residence. There might be people who knew her in the surroundings. If someone saw her and spread the news, Le Wan would be embarrassed.
After thinking it through, Zhai Jing let go of her unwillingly. He walked to the side quietly and adjusted his breathing.
âGive me a little more time. Iâll be able to calm down very soon.â
âAlright,â he said. Le Wan spread her hands, but she felt warm in her heart for Zhai Jingâs respect for her.
Thus, one of them faced the lake and tried to calm the surging emotions in his body. The other opened the bag of cakes and ate them with great pleasure. As she ate, she sighed.
âIâve already brushed my teeth, but you brought cakes to seduce me again.â
If Mama le knew about this, she would nag at her for eating too many desserts. After that, she picked up another large piece of cake and stuffed it into her mouth.
Zhai Jing, who had calmed down a lot, turned around and saw her gluttonous look. He couldnât help chuckling.
âI tasted it just now. It has a faint strawberry minty taste.â
âIt smells good, doesnât it?â Le Wan shook her head proudly. âI chose the toothpaste on my own.â
Zhai Jing, who didnât really like the sweet taste, nodded.
âYes, it smells really good.â The good smell made him dizzy, and he wanted to taste it again anytime and anywhere.
It was late, so the two of them chatted for a while and parted ways after Le Wan finished the cake.
Zhai Jing wrapped the cake in paper and threw it into the trash can. Then, he held Le Wanâs hand.
âLetâs go. Iâll walk you back.â
âWe didnât even have time to say two words.â Le Wan was a little upset.
Zhai Jing was also very reluctant.
âWeâll have time soon. Where do you want to go then?â
âIâm fine with it.â Le Wan thought for a moment and said sweetly, âI can go anywhere as long as Iâm with you.â
Zhai Jing knew that her little mouth was the best at coaxing people, but he still felt very happy when he heard these words.
He couldnât help but ask her,
âCan we really go anywhere? Arenât you afraid that Iâll sell you out?â
Le Wan pretended to be troubled and frowned.
âAlthough there are some places I donât really want to goâ¦â Then, she looked up at Zhai Jing and said,
âBut I think as long as itâs a place you like, Iâll definitely be willing to go. As for whether or not youâll sell me, I think someone else might want to buy you more than me.â
Zhai Jing laughed.
âYou are a little fox.â He wasnât willing to suffer any losses.
After Zhai Jing left, Le Wan took the flowers and opened the door to enter the house quietly. She was about to go upstairs.
âYouâre back so early?â Papa Leâs voice suddenly came from the living room.
Le Wan was startled. She then realized that her father was sitting on the sofa in his pajamas, flipping through the newspaper.
âDad, itâs almost 11 O âclock. What are you doing here?â Le Wan hurriedly hid the flower in her hand behind her.
âAlright, stop hiding. I saw everything.â
Papa Le put the newspaper away and slammed it on the table. He stood up and laughed when he saw the nervous look on Le Wanâs face.
âIâm not going to scold you, why are you so nervous?â
Just as Le Wan heaved a sigh of relief, she heard Papa le say,
âIâm sitting here to remind you that Iâm not that old yet. I donât think Iâll be a grandfather so soon, so remember to take protective measures.â
Le Wan held back her anger.
âCough, cough, cough!â
