“Do we need to explain everything to him?” Lu Si fixed his gaze on her with a displeased look, his lips pressed straight, showing his current unhappiness.

Mei Shu furrowed her brow. “Ah Si, why did you suddenly appear at the bar tonight?”

Lu Si averted his gaze uneasily. “It’s just a coincidence. I wanted to take you home first.”

“A-Si, are you pursuing me?” Mei Shu wasn’t a naive girl, and she wasn’t narcissistic. She just found his behavior earlier very strange, and aside from this possibility, she couldn’t think of any other reason to explain his actions.

“Do you want to lay everything out in the open?”

Lu Si took a deep breath, his hand resting on the back of her chair, leaning toward her, and said, “If that’s what you want.”

“What?”

Mei Shu’s words were cut off before she could finish them.

In response, Lu Si sealed her lips with a trembling and affectionate kiss.

His chest rose and fell violently, emanating an irresistible masculine allure.

Lu Si’s trembling teeth accidentally bit Mei Shu’s lips, bringing her back to her senses. She pushed him away forcefully, slapping him across the face.

“We agreed to just be friends,” Mei Shu glared at him fiercely, as if accusing him with her eyes for his improper actions.

But she didn’t know how pitiful she looked at that moment.

Lu Si felt a tightness in his chest, and the pain in his cheeks was nothing compared to the pain in his heart.

He was so nervous that his fingertips felt stiff and cold.

He pursed his lips and struggled to say, “I’m sorry.”

Mei Shu wiped her lips forcefully, then got up and left without looking back.

Lu Si was still worried about her, so he quickly caught up with her and said, “Let me take you home. It’s not safe at night. If you don’t want to see me, you can let Jiang He take you.”

“No need,” Mei Shu coldly refused.

Anyone who was suddenly kissed forcibly by a man who had always been seen as a good friend wouldn’t be in a good mood.

However, Lu Si refused to compromise and directly grabbed her wrist, pulling her in front of him. “Shu’er, I just wanted you to understand my feelings. I was impulsive just now. If you let me take you home and don’t want to see me afterward, I won’t appear before you again.”

Mei Shu stared at him coldly, her eyes filled with a trace of frost. “Lu Si, I thought you were a gentleman, but it seems I was mistaken. Men are unreliable.”

Lu Si’s heart ached as he lowered his gaze. His heart felt as if it had been squeezed tightly. “What do you want me to do to make you forgive me? Do you want to sever our friendship?”

“Ending a friendship is something only children do.” What she wanted to do was to take revenge on this man who had taken liberties with her.

Lu Si forced a self-deprecating smile and reluctantly released her hand. “Alright, do whatever you want to make yourself feel better.”

Mei Shu regained her freedom and snorted coldly before walking away.

Lu Si followed her from a distance until he saw her get into a taxi.

Jiang He stopped the car and tentatively asked, “Lord Si, should we continue to follow?”

“Follow her, and make sure you see her enter her house. I have something else to do.”

Lu Si gave these instructions without specifying what he was going to do.

Mei Shu was sulking all the way home.

Although she didn’t know why she was so angry.

When the car stopped outside the villa area, her emotions gradually stabilized, but her heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

Her fingertips subconsciously touched her still-warm lips, and Mei Shu looked somewhat absentmindedly at the dark path in front of her. All she could think about was Lu Si’s pitiful expression.

“Miss Mei!”

A distant shout from behind brought her back to reality, and she quickly withdrew her hand as if she had been electrocuted. Her face regained its cold demeanor.

After getting out of the car, Jiang He hurriedly caught up and said, “Miss Mei, something’s not right. The police just called and said that Mr. Si suddenly had an onset. They want us to go and pick him up.”

“That’s for you to do, not for both of us,” Mei Shu said with an expressionless face as she turned to leave.

Jiang He quickly blocked her path and said, “Miss Mei, I don’t know what happened between you and Mr. Si to make you so angry at him. But when he falls ill, only you can calm him down. Please, consider the fact that he’s in a vulnerable state right now. Don’t hold a grudge against him.”

Mei Shu increased her pace without showing any intention of stopping, her face clearly displaying her refusal.

Jiang He persisted, “Miss Mei, no matter what Mr. Si has done, it was his primary personality’s actions. You shouldn’t blame his secondary personality. Right now, he’s just a five-year-old child.”

Mei Shu was about to burst into laughter!

Are you morally manipulating or something?

Seeing her stop, Jiang He felt a glimmer of hope. “Miss Mei, let’s hurry over. Master Si has promised to pay you well, and he won’t skimp on it. It’s quite dangerous for him to be out there alone right now. If he doesn’t see you, tonight could turn into a complete mess..”
