She glanced at him. when she realized that he wasn’t looking at her, she decided to pretend that she hadn’t heard anything.

They managed to quickly get a taxi.

Shen Zhilie placed Ye Qianqian inside and got in behind her.

Neither of them spoke. The entire journey home was quiet and peaceful.

Ye Qianqian tried to get out of the taxi with much difficulty. However, much to her surprise, she found Shen Zhilie already standing by the door waiting for her.

The moment he saw her emerge from the car, he offered his hand and helped pull her out while his other hand acted as a guard to protect her head against the roof of the car.

Upon closing the door, Shen Zhilie reached out again, ready to carry her in his arms.

Ye Qianqian stopped him. Feeling unsettled, she said, “I think... I’ll walk on my own.”

Shen Zhilie gave a hum of agreement. He held her hand as he walked slowly in front of her.

Ye Qianqian’s heart fell with disappointment at the fact that he hadn’t insisted.

However, she had to admit that being carried by him was a little awkward for both of them.

Since they did not share an intimate relationship, it wasn’t exactly appropriate for him to be carrying her around all the time.

Well...

Shen Zhilie pulled Ye Qianqian along. Because her steps were slow, she fell behind him.

She was suddenly jerked over by her arm.

Ye Qianqian was in shock. Her eyes widened as she looked at him.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Shen Zhilie enveloped her in his arms. He leaned forward to plant a kiss on her cheek.

It was light and gentle. Ye Qianqian felt as if a feather had brushed across her heart. It made her heart itch. Her whole body tensed in disbelief.

Following that, Shen Zhilie scooped her up in his arms the way a knight carried a princess and strode into the building.

Ye Qianqian was still dumbstruck. She had trouble regaining her wits, which had been scattered from the kiss.

She was stuck in her stupor until they reach the apartment. Just as Shen Zhilie was entering the passcode to open the door, Ye Qianqian slowly ventured, “What... What was the meaning of that?”

Shen Zhilie glanced at her and didn’t say a word. He opened the front door and carried her into her bedroom.

He gently placed Ye Qianqian on the bed, but he made no move to leave.

Instead, he sat by her bed. Looking at her earnestly, he said, “I’ll take responsibility for you.”

Ye Qianqian’s heart surprisingly skipped a beat.

It soon began to beat like crazy.

“What...”

“Although you’re flat-chested and the front of your body looks identical to your back, I did touch you after all. I’ve also seen everything. It’d be inexcusable of me if I didn’t take responsibility for you.”

Ye Qianqian suddenly felt as if she had been doused with a bucket of cold water. Her heart, which had been touched, felt like it had been bitten by a dog.

Tightening her jaw, Ye Qianqian clenched her fist and ground out between her teeth, “What... did... you... say?”

One look at her demeanor and Shen Zhilie knew he was in for a beating.

Ducking to a corner, Shen Zhilie waved his arms as he yelled in protest, “Calm down, Madam! I only spoke the truth!”

Ye Qianqian was incensed. She screamed and flung a pillow in his direction as she bellowed, “Get out!”

Shen Zhilie caught the pillow and hurled it back at her.

He threw his whole body atop hers, pinning her down on the bed.

Ye Qianqian’s heartbeat sped up.

All that lay between their bodies was a pillow, but they could see every expression on each other’s face.

Shen Zhilie’s eyes were earnest.

His smile revealed his white teeth, which affected her heart.

She was crazy! She had to be crazy!

Ye Qianqian had the urge to slap herself silly. This guy was merely jesting! Why was she allowing herself to take him seriously?

She was indeed an idiot!

Ye Qianqian kept warning herself to stay aloof, but she couldn’t bring herself to remove her eyes from his face.

Feeling uneasy, Ye Qianqian reached out to push him away and said, “You...”
