His magnetic voice immediately rang in her ears. “Was what you said just now true?”
She looked back at him. For a moment, she was still a little confused. “What did you say?”
His face suddenly drew closer to hers. That perfect outline was simply mesmerizing.
“I miss you. Does that count?”
She felt her face burning up. It was boiling hot.
She turned her face away. She did not truly mean what she said. “Of course it’s not true.”
But he still smiled charmingly. “Then why did you suddenly come here?”
Her eyes were filled with guilt. Suddenly, an answer flashed across her mind!
She blurted out. “To check on you!”
He smiled, pleased, and hugged her in his arms. His low, seductive voice rang in her ears. “In that case, come check on me every day from this day onwards.”
She met his clear, deep eyes. Then, looked away and said embarrassedly, “Seeing how today went, I guess I’ll have to!”
His smile deepened and he hugged her even tighter. “Be my guest.”
…
At 5:35 pm, the employees of the majestic Di Zun Group were leaving for home.
On the top floor, Zuo Weiyi had been sitting on the sofa the whole time. The boredom tired her out, so she leaned back on the sofa. When Shi Yuting was done with his work, he looked up and saw her sleeping face.
He got up and walked over, watching her sleep.
Then, he bent down and gently picked her up.
His movements were extremely gentle, but Zuo Weiyi was still startled and woke up when he touched her.
She saw his exquisite and flawless face. When she came back to her senses, she realized that she was in his arms.
She turned her head to look out of the window—the sky had already darkened
It turned out that he had already gotten off work.
“I’ll go by myself.” She struggled for a while and got out of his arms.
“Are you hungry?” He looked at her and asked.
Zuo Weiyi shook her head. “I’m fine.”
He smiled, then held her hand and walked toward the office door. “Let’s go home.”
When they left Di Zun, the bustling metropolis was already brightly and colorfully lit.
Zuo Weiyi looked out at the night view of the city flashing past the window from the passenger seat.
After a long time, she turned to look at Shi Yuting’s beautiful side profile in the driver’s seat.
“Shall we go out for dinner tonight?”
This was the first time since the incident that she had taken the initiative to speak to him with such a positive tone. Shi Yuting was slightly surprised before he smiled faintly. “Sure. What do you want to eat?”
“Big wantons.”
He glanced at her. He knew that big wantons were her favorite.
“Okay.”
Ten minutes later, the two of them found a wanton store.
However, it was extremely difficult to find a parking spot in the bustling metropolis during peak hour.
In the end, Shi Yuting had no choice but to park his car in the underground parking lot of a large shopping mall not far away and walk to the wanton store.
The two of them walked together under the dim streetlights.
He held her hand out of habit. As the cold wind blew past, her hand felt a little cold.
“Cold?”
He turned his head and spoke very softly.
Zuo Weiyi shook her head. “No.”
“Your hand is cold though.”
“That’s normal. My body temperature is like this. Whenever winter comes and I leave the heating, my hand will be especially cold.”
When she was young, whenever winter came, her mother would always ask her to wear more clothes because of this. However, even though she wrapped herself up like a dumpling, her hand would still be cold when she goes out.
