Lin Yan blinked in confusion when she saw how shocked Pei Yucheng looked. “What’s wrong?”
Pei Yucheng shook his head and replied, “Nothing. I just regret it.”
“Regret? What do you regret?” Lin Yan was confused.
Pei Yucheng replied, “I regret not telling you earlier.”
When Lin Yan understood what Pei Yucheng was trying to say, her cheeks turned crimson. She snorted coldly and hissed, “You finally admit that you hid it from me?”
Pei Yucheng coughed softly. “Sorry.”
Lin Yan couldn’t get angry when she saw his frail expression. She stretched her hand to cover his cup. “Rest well. I’ll be sleeping on the couch. If you need anything, just call.”
Pei Yucheng replied, “I need something now.”
“Huh? What do you need? Do you need water? Are you hungry? Let me get something for you, okay?” asked Lin Yan anxiously.
Pei Yucheng asked, “Can you not sleep on the couch?”
Lin Yan was speechless…
If she didn’t sleep on the couch… where would she sleep?
This time, Lin Yan understood what Pei Yucheng meant.
Pei Yucheng had always been restrained and courteous ever since they had started dating. This was the first time he had made such a request. Lin Yan froze on the spot.
Besides, the other party had made such a weak request that it was really hard to reject him…
Lin Yan snapped back to her senses after some time. With difficulty, she said, “Ahem, I don’t sleep well. I would disturb you.”
“I was just joking. You should get some rest, Miss Lin. I caused you so much trouble today.”
The man’s eyes dimmed slightly, and the suppressed anger in his eyes returned to normal. He opened his mouth naturally as though this was a casual joke.
Lin Yan frowned when she saw his expression.
After some hesitation, she blurted out, “Pei Yucheng, can I ask you a question?”
Pei Yucheng was startled when Lin Yan called him by his name. “Ask me.”
Lin Yan asked sternly, “Why… do I feel that… you have always been very careful and cautious around me?”
Logically speaking, how could a man like Pei Yucheng be wary of anyone?
However, Lin Yan felt that Pei Yucheng could be considered a gentleman based on the way he was treating her. He was so gentle that his every step was meticulous.
What kind of boyfriend would be so careful when seducing his girlfriend?
Pei Yucheng’s eyes flickered briefly before he replied casually, “Miss Lin, why do you say that?”
Lin Yan looked at his gentle expression and felt a little annoyed. “Even I can’t help but call you by your name when I am angry. However, Mr. Pei, you’ve always been polite to me.”
The man clenched his fists unconsciously. “You don’t like it?”
Lin Yan scratched her head. “No… I don’t really like it… I just feel that… I can’t say it…”
Lin Yan’s mind was a mess, and she was at a loss for words.
Pei Yucheng seemed to be very concerned about this. “Then… Do you feel hate?”
Lin Yan realized that this question seemed important to Pei Yucheng, so she hastily replied, “No, how could I hate you? I didn’t expect you to be so approachable and nice to me. How could I hate you?”
