Lu Jiayuan was momentarily startled and followed the arm to glance aside, indeed seeing Yu Zexiao’s long arms encircling her slender waist, imperiously seated on the sofa. Jian Anning was completely nestled into his embrace!
For a moment, flames seemed to dance in his eyes. He wasn’t dull; although Yu Zexiao often reprimanded Jian Anning, and the two of them bickered quite a lot, he had to admit—during the TV program recording and other occasions—Yu Zexiao’s relationship with her was truly exceptional!
The others in the room fell silent. Even though Yu Zexiao had just aided her, many still felt that Jian Anning was definitely in for it! Yu Zexiao, who hates having others too close to him, and now with her barging into his arms, wouldn’t she be scolded to death by him?
Amidst everyone’s silence, Jian Anning lifted her head from Yu Zexiao’s embrace. Yu Zexiao slightly looked down, only to see the layers of waves in the depth of her eyes, framed by the long eyeliner, lifting from his embrace, and like ripples in water, they instantly spread out, sending a jolt through his heart!
This was Jian Anning, yet, not like the Jian Anning he knew! Just one glance seemed to contain a soul-entrancing charm! Yet, paradoxically, her expression remained innocent, her brows still furrowed tightly!
This seductive charm that shook one’s soul, paired with an innocent and pure glisten, yet irresistibly enchanting gaze! And those soft, red corners of her lips... they could make someone wish they could melt into her!
Yu Zexiao’s Adam’s apple bobbed with difficulty. He didn’t know why, holding her in an embrace, with her whole person in a posture of throwing herself into his arms by his side, he suddenly had a bizarre misconception! It was as if she was the woman who had flung herself on him during that restless and blurry night!
At this thought, Yu Zexiao was startled. How could he think of that unfortunate night? That was the most annoying memory of his life! Although he didn’t know who that woman was, he’d never forget that the woman dressed in "bao-lu" had acted so brazenly!
Because of that damned memory, his brows furrowed slightly, and his voice unintentionally became somewhat irritable, "Be careful, don’t you look where you’re going?"
This obvious complaint instantly diluted the slight amorous emotions the two of them had just experienced. Ling Yinuo, fearing she might be embarrassed, chuckled to smooth things over, "Xingxing, can’t you be a bit more gentlemanly? Anning is a girl after all, you shouldn’t be treating her !"
Yu Zexiao furrowed his brows, remaining silent, but Jian Anning escaped from his embrace incredibly swiftly, fixing her hair before immediately seating herself a few buttocks away from him.
This estranged behavior displeased Yu Zexiao. Bowing his head, he picked up a cup from the table and took a sip of alcohol, the liquid churning inside like it was about to ignite.
Once everyone settled, the restless Ling Yichuan glanced at Leng Yunlin and Qin Xian, and the group quickly nodded in agreement. Leng Yunlin spoke up, "Since everyone is here, why don’t we play a game?"
Yu Zexiao was the first to shake his head, "I’m not participating."
"You don’t have to if you don’t want to; you’re just going to cause trouble anyway."
