Quan Ranting replied, “You’ve got good taste.”
Shen Wan struggled to stifle her laughter. It seemed that vanity was a common trait, even among big shots.
“Seeing your sincerity, I’ll give you one more chance,” he continued. “So, do you want to offer yourself as gratitude?”
“No,” she replied decisively, without a hint of hesitation.
“Reason?” The man’s brows furrowed deeply, his emotions inscrutable.
“I don’t like you, why would 1 offer myself as gratitude?” Shen Wan stated bluntly. It was her straightforwardness that made it impossible to doubt her words.
But the truth often hit hard.
At least, at a certain moment, Quan Ranting felt that piercing and dense pain.
Don’t like him?
“Hey, how much longer are you planning to grab onto me?” Shen Wan furrowed her brow, trying to move her wrist away from his grasp.
“Eating so much and still not gaining weight,” he remarked. Her slender wrist seemed as if it could snap with a slight twist.
“Don’t you know that women envy those who can’t gain weight?”
“You’re wasting food.” .

On the way back, both of them fell into a quiet silence, not initiating any conversation.
Shen Wan was tired and on the verge of falling asleep. As for Quan Ranting, perhaps he was feeling somewhat uneasy?
Forty minutes later, the black Mercedes stopped in front of the Shen family’s gate.
Quan Ranting turned to look at her and burst into laughter the next moment.
The woman had already tilted her head to the side, asleep, her long hair in disarray. She looked lazily disarmed, making one unable to resist the temptation.
Quan Ranting himself was also curious about why he was so fixated on this little girl.
Yes, fixated.
From the hot spring resort to the anniversary party and then their encounter in Beihai, whenever she appeared, she could instantly capture his attention. That uncontrollable feeling, like being possessed or enchanted, was akin to being under a spell.
Quan Ranting also wanted to figure out what he truly felt about her, which was why he deliberately got closer to her time and time again.
The night sky was like a curtain, the moonlight pure and bright.
The warm yellow light inside the car carried a hint of temptation, and the woman’s subtle fragrance acted as a catalyst, intensifying the allure. Finally .
He leaned in, getting closer, and with a gentle touch, he kissed those enticing red lips.
At that moment, it felt like an electric current had surged through his body. Quan Ranting shuddered violently, and a trace of confusion and bewilderment flickered in his eyes.
He didn’t know what this kind of reaction meant, but one thing was clear
He didn’t reject this intimate touch, in fact, he wanted more!
“Um…” Shen Wan slowly woke up, subconsciously moistening her lips, feeling a bit itchy. “Are we there?”
“Yes.”
She sat up, casually tucking her hair behind her ear. “I’m sorry, I fell asleep.”
“It’s okay.”
“What happened to your face?”
iQii
Shen Wan adjusted the rearview mirror. “See for yourself.”
In the mirror, the man had a delicate face, and due to his fair complexion, the two blushes on his cheeks were even more prominent.
Quan Hanting’s gaze flickered with guilt for a moment.
But it was only a moment. In the blink of an eye, he returned to his cold and composed demeanor.
“It might be because it was too stuffy in the car, not well-ventilated.”
As he said that, Shen Wan did feel a bit warm. She unfastened her seatbelt, opened the door, and of course, didn’t forget to turn back and offer a somewhat friendly smile to Quan Ranting. “Dinner was delicious, and the driver was very responsible. Thank you, Sixth Uncle.”
With that, she made a move to leave.
“Wait—”
“Hmm? Is there something else?”
Quan Ranting sat in the driver’s seat, looking at the carefree woman outside through the lowered car window. His gaze suddenly deepened. “Aren’t you concerned?”
“Concerned about what?” Shen Wan looked puzzled.
“That night at the hot spring resort….”
