Chapter 0037
Ingridâs heart was beating loudly. She took a deep breath before following Hansel inside.
She already knew the mansion was huge and bright, but this was still her first time inside after all.
The architecture was very modern, and the color scheme mostly consisted of neutrals. It looked lowâkey, but the finer details gave away how luxurious it was.
Ingrid had taken a class on art appreciation in her sophomore year. She recognized the painting on the wall as one of Alessandro Verdiâs renowned works. The decorations all over the mansion werenât cheap, either. Even the inconspicuous trash can in the corner had the âLVâ logo.
Crossing the living room, she saw a delicately maintained indoor garden. Next to it were a home theater and a gym. A set of golf clubs lay in the corner.
Apparently, this mansion came with its own golf course.
She pinched herself. Before sheâd met Hansel, the most expensive thing sheâd seen was one of her classmatesâ limited edition Hermès crocodile leather Kelly bag that cost six figures on the second hand market. T
hat was enough to buy a threeâbedroom home in her hometown!
Meanwhile, the âHâ logo that was out of her reach was plastered everywhere here. It was on keychains, poker cards, and lightersâ¦
If she could stay with Hansel forever, get married to him and have his children, would she be able to have all of this? A huge mansion, luxury bags, a personal driver, as well
as household staffâ¦
Hansel didnât notice that Ingrid was distracted.
The pumpkin soup was too thick. He only had a taste of it before setting his spoon
down.
Ingrid blinked in puzzlement. âWhy did you stop eating? Is it bad?â
âI ate after getting off work, so Iâm not really hungry right now. Iâll have more later,â Hansel replied.
âAlright. If youâd told me it tasted bad, I wouldâve been so sad.â Ingrid cupped her cheeks, her eyes shining. âItâs my first time cooking, so please bear with me.â
Hansel caressed her head affectionately. âDidnât you have class today? Where did you find the time to make the soup?â

Brâs rearing the end all the seriester, es i dont have many classes anymore. Not to marian, 1 plan on taking the postgraduate admission exams, so I spent the entire day e1udying in the library. I only had it to see you in the afternoon.â
She thought about her encounter with Miranda earlier, and her gaze flickered.
She changed the subject by saying âAccording to the news, there have been meteor showers recently. Why donât we go see one together?â
Hansel hummed noncommittally. He didnât look impatient, but his irritation showed in the way he unconsciously loosened his tie Thereâs a lot of fake news floating around these days Letâs talk about it another time.â
Ingrid knew better than to bring it up again.
itâs getting late. Hansel stood. âTil take you back to the college.â
Ingrid bit her lip. Thinking about how sheâd purposely gone back to the dorm to change into a lowâcut dress this afternoon, she held onto Hanselâs arm and brushed her breasts
against it.
âAre you in such a hurry to see me go?â she said lightly.
Her teasing tone, coupled with her innocent smile, made her seem as delectable as a piece of candy. Even the air seemed to carry a hint of sweetness.
Hansel smiled slightly. âI have poor selfâcontrol. I wouldnât dare keep you.â owns all © content.
âIs there anything else you wouldnât dare to do?â Ingrid gazed up at him, innocence and seduction synergizing perfectly within her.
âOf course.â Hansel smiled tightly.
âHans, actually, I- She wanted to say that she didnât have class the next day and could stay behind to keep him company.
However, Hansel didnât let her finish. He picked up his car keys and said, âLetâs go. Itâs getting late. The resident assistant is going to give you a hard time again.
Ingrid stuck out her tongue and followed him.
At the door, she suddenly stopped. âHans, you say there are things you wouldnât dare to do. Let me ask you againâwould you or wouldnât you dare do it?â
