Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Shen Wan thought to herself, “There’s nothing more soothing than dessert after a meal.” She even considered ignoring the free air conditioner next to her (she was referring to Quan Hanting).
“Wan Wan, please wait a moment. I’ll settle the bill first,” He Huai said as he got up.
Chu Yujian cleared his throat. “Um… I’ll go to the garage to get the car.”
Once the two of them left, only Quan Hanting remained sitting next to Shen Wan. One had a piercing gaze, tinged with a hint of wickedness, while the other looked out of the window with a quiet and somewhat cold demeanor.
“Are you not acquainted with me?” Shen Wan detected a hidden danger in his words.
A slight smile played on her lips as she replied, “Your identity is unique, and ordinary people wouldn’t dare to approach you.”
“Are you an ordinary person?”
“Of course.”
“But why do I feel that you are bolder than most?” He leaned in, emphasizing each word.
“Is Sixth Uncle complimenting me?” Shen Wan met his gaze without flinching, her smile unwavering.
“Do you think I am?” He lowered his head, reducing the distance between them.
Shen Wan felt the growing intensity of the atmosphere, making the air seem thinner around her.
Meanwhile, Quan Hanting caught a whiff of a fragrance emanating from her, a blend of sweetness like peaches, a hint of bitterness like grapefruit, and a subtle touch of bergamot, more enticing than any perfume he had encountered, urging him to lean in closer.
Suddenly, there was resistance against his chest. Quan Hanting’s eyes shifted down, and he saw her slender hand pushing against his chest, creating distance.
“This is a public place.”
“And?”
“Mind your manners.”
“Ah, haven’t 1 done anything wrong? Is it a problem if I get a little closer?” He smirked, his eyes filled with mischief.
Shen Wan remained unperturbed and calmly stated, “If a dog has bitten you before, would you let it continue licking you recklessly?”
Quan Hanting’s face darkened, and he grasped her delicate wrist. With a slight increase in pressure, the sound of fragile bones breaking could be heard. “Women should be gentle. Being too sharp can lead to injuries.”
Shen Wan laughed lightly, unfazed.
Quan Hanting tightened his grip, determined to teach her a lesson.
“Sixth Uncle, your actions might give me the wrong impression.”
His forehead creased. “Wrong impression about what?”
“Misleading me into thinking you like me, so you’re trying to attract my attention by any means necessary.”
“Absurd!” He scolded her sternly, his gaze heavy.
“Then what is this?” She moved her wrist slightly. “1 said we’re not close, and you should be happy to distance yourself. Why did you get so angry and even lay hands on a woman?” 𝘦𝑎.𝒸ℴ
Quan Hanting’s movements froze for a moment, then he released her wrist. “Don’t overthink it.”
“Rest assured, as long as you don’t cause trouble, I’ll behave myself.”
Their eyes locked, and sparks flew between them.
Fortunately, the tense atmosphere didn’t last long because He Huai returned.
“Sixth Uncle, let me take Wan Wan with me first. Will you be okay?”
Quan Hanting stood up abruptly. He was half a head taller than He Huai, exuding an imposing aura. He wore a stern expression, coldly scrutinizing He Huai. His gaze then shifted to Shen Wan’s face, as if asking, “You actually like someone like him?”
Shen Wan chuckled. “In any case, it has nothing to do with you.”
Quan Hanting was filled with frustration and felt like he was about to explode. The first thought that popped into his mind was incredibly unexpected—what did this brat have that I don’t?!
When he realized he was having such thoughts, he couldn’t help but freeze, unable to regain his composure for a while.
This kind of emotion was so unfamiliar to him that Quan Hanting couldn’t accurately describe his feelings at that moment. 𝑖𝘦.𝑐ℴ𝘮
Only when he calmed down did he have to admit that he was feeling unsettled..
