CHAPTER 38: CHAPTER 34: BAO YE, CAN I ASK YOU A QUESTION?

"Scared now, are we?"

"Weren’t you just swaying confidently?"

Staring at her, Bao Ye’s dark eyes were full of mischief, his voice low and husky, exceptionally magnetic, paired with that devilishly handsome face, incredibly seductive.

"I thought you were braver."

"Chickening out already?"

"Who’s chickening out?" Jiang Ruan’s cheeks were flushed. She bit her lip, glared at him with a hint of annoyance, and said, "I wasn’t swaying. I was being coy with you!"

She was quite self-righteous about it.

Bao Ye’s thin lips carried a faint smile, his eyes calm and unwavering, drawling, "Oh~"

"Being coy, huh."

With an ambiguous look in his eyes, he gave a soft "tsk" and drawled, "If you hadn’t said, I’d have thought you were..."

He stopped there.

Intentionally keeping her in suspense.

As expected, she took the bait.

"Thought I was what?" Jiang Ruan cut him off.

Her cheeks were rosy, her heart racing, she stared at him, her kitten-like eyes warning him.

Not to say something inappropriate.

But who is Bao Ye? Would he not say it just because she forbade it?

Bao Ye was in a very good mood now.

How could he possibly hold back now?

So, the man leaned down close to her ear, his breath warm as he whispered, "You were seducing me, flirting with me."

Those words slipped into Jiang Ruan’s ears.

Her cheeks flushed instantly, and she bit her teeth, "Bao Ye!"

She called his name angrily.

Her voice was much louder than usual.

In the man’s deep, unreadable eyes, she looked like a little agitated bunny.

Quite cute.

Bao Ye’s eyes held a smile, very calm, "What is it?"

"Did I say something wrong?"

Jiang Ruan: "..."

Both angry and annoyed, yet unable to refute.

She pulled away his arm to sit up, her little face puffed with anger, impossibly cute.

But Bao Ye held her down, "Where are you going?"

"Getting up!" Jiang Ruan said, "I’m not sleeping anymore!"

She tugged at his arm, but couldn’t move it at all.

Jiang Ruan grew even angrier.

Bao Ye watched her, like looking at a bristled cat.

His eyes held amusement.

Letting her do whatever.

She tugged for ages but didn’t budge him a bit.

The man’s arms were all muscle. Bao Ye had been hitting the gym regularly for years, his body full of strength, there was no way she could easily move him.

Jiang Ruan was fuming, "If you don’t let go, I’ll bite you!"

She threatened, holding his arm with both hands, face close, pretending she was about to bite.

Bao Ye finally reacted a bit, reaching out to pinch her chin, lowering his head and chuckling, "Where did this little wild cat come from?"

"Still knows how to bite, huh?"

The husky magnetic male voice came at such a close distance, his breath blowing on her cheek, making Jiang Ruan’s face even hotter.

Her heart was thumping loudly.

Jiang Ruan huffed with a red face, "You deserved it for not letting go."

"Deserved to be bitten..."

Hearing her mutter these words, Bao Ye couldn’t help but pause slightly.

Only then did he realize what they were just doing.

They were behaving like any other couple, playfully bickering upon waking up in the morning.

Like now, she was lying in his arms, her warm tender body against his chest, and he could clearly feel her emotions changing,

and they were having such an honest conversation.

For Bao Ye, this was a rare experience.

It made him feel a subtle and intriguing sensation in his heart.

But he had to admit, teasing her, watching her get angry, really lifted his spirits.

It felt like the comforts of everyday life.

This feeling was pretty nice.

Except...

Bao Ye’s dark eyes were complex.

Neither of them spoke, and the bedroom suddenly grew quiet.

Bao Ye closed his eyes to rest.

Suddenly, the person in his arms climbed up, resting her chin on his chest, "Bao Ye, can I ask you a question?"
