“Can’t you sit facing me, treasure?” he asked, his voice low and husky, leaning in to whisper by her ear.
The intimacy of his tone made the girl’s cheeks flush instantly. He seemed to genuinely enjoy her straddling him.
“Why?” Her earlier assertiveness vanished as she lowered her head, trying to suppress her pounding heart, and asked softly.
“Doesn’t treasure want to know why I like you?”
Su Yue looked up at him, surprised. Although his actions had clearly indicated his affection, this was the first time he had spoken it aloud.
“Then… why?” She naturally wanted to know, her eyes filled with confusion as she spoke gently.
“Sit properly, and I’ll tell you, treasure,” he said, his gaze seductive.
*No, I can’t always be led around by him like this,* she thought.
But her body betrayed her, moving as he wished. She swung one leg over his, turned to face him, and sat down obediently.
“Tell me,” she said, looking up at him with innocent eyes, waiting for his answer.
Instead, he pulled her into his arms and began to kiss her.
“Chen Ziming! You tricked me!” She pulled away, glaring at him incredulously.
“Couldn’t help myself,” he chuckled.
His chest vibrated, and the sensation sent a shiver through her, throwing her heart into disarray.
“Has anyone ever told you, treasure, that you’re incredibly focused and serious when you compete?” he asked, his tone becoming more earnest as his large hand gently stroked the back of her head.
Many people had said that. But was it related to the topic they were discussing?
She nodded dazedly, waiting for him to continue.
“But you’re completely different in private… especially, in front of me.” He looked at her with smiling eyes and continued, “And treasure, you’re also incredibly beautiful.”
“What exactly are you trying to say?” she couldn’t help but interrupt. What did all this have to do with why he liked her?
The man’s smile widened, revealing perfect teeth, and the dimple in his cheek became much more pronounced. Su Yue’s thoughts were suddenly interrupted as she gazed at him, mesmerized.
“The day I brought you home, I had watched a debate competition that afternoon and found you incredibly smart and rational. But during dinner that evening, you were so… innocent and cute.”
“You looked like a seasoned player in the dating game, but treasure, you were actually a novice.”
“You pounced on me with all your might, only to get scared before we even kissed.”
“People say you’re a pampered girl, but they don’t know treasure has career ambitions…”
“Stop talking!!!”
Su Yue covered his mouth directly. Her beautiful cheeks were flushed crimson, and her bright eyes were wide with a clear expression of enraged embarrassment.
*What kind of reasons for liking someone are these?! Can’t he just praise my good qualities like a normal person?!*
The man reached out and removed her hand, his large palm enveloping her small one. His eyes full of affection, he continued, “Treasure, you’re beautiful and interesting, smart and driven, and… you’re also incredibly comfortable to sleep with, very, very comfortable.”
*!!!*
This was clearly his answer to her wild guess about why he had been so nice to her when they went out for dinner, responding to something she had said randomly.
*Can’t he just praise me properly, completely, and sincerely?! I’m really going to get angry!*
Su Yue didn’t want to waste any more time with him. She shot him a fierce glare and prepared to get off him.
But he held her tightly, pulling her into his embrace.
“What, leaving after hearing that?” he lowered his head, the smile fading from his face, leaving only a trace in his eyes.
“I surrender, Officer Chen. From now on, I’ll definitely keep a hundred more eyes open around you.”
So, he had seen through her completely. She had expected a heartfelt confession, but what was this?! A waste of her time; she could have finished half an episode of a drama in this time.
“A hundred might not be enough.” His hand had already slipped under her shirt, caressing her tender, smooth skin. The next second, he kissed her again.
