Sheng Jianan’s tone rose at the end, making him seem even more frivolous. Just as Tang Yanqi hadn’t regained her composure, Sheng Jianan’s lips had already clearly captured hers. It wasn’t the fleeting touch from the previous accidental encounter, nor was it as forceful and domineering as not long ago. Sheng Jianan brushed over Tang Yanqi’s teeth, bit by bit, as if invading, but every time he was about to invade, he would pull back, inch by inch, as if playing hide and seek.
But such small actions made Tang Yanqi’s whole body go weak, she could feel that Sheng Jianan was teasing her, yet such teasing was too provocative, making it impossible to resist.
Tang Yanqi felt her face burning hot. When Sheng Jianan finished the kiss and moved away, Tang Yanqi was already as red as a monkey’s butt. She was shy, but more so puzzled — if the previous kiss was driven by male hormones, then what was this kiss about?
Tang Yanqi quickly found the answer. When she looked up at the instigator, she found Sheng Jianan’s gaze resting outside the car window. Following his gaze, Tang Yanqi saw a car not far behind them; coming from that direction, it could only be the Sheng family’s car.
Tang Yanqi instantly understood. No wonder he said the act had to be fully performed; it was meant for others to see.
Indeed, if it wasn’t to show others, why would Sheng Jianan kiss her? Tang Yanqi understood all of this, yet her heart still couldn’t help but feel a bit sour. This feeling was really unpleasant.
Sheng Jianan restarted the car, driving smoothly. The corners of his mouth slightly lifted, which in Tang Yanqi’s eyes was still his usual mocking smile, but in reality, Sheng Jianan was genuinely smiling.
He hadn’t even noticed he was smiling, feeling inexplicably good.
During the time at the Sheng family’s place, when his own grandfather made that suggestion, Sheng Jianan knew it was a trap waiting for Tang Yanqi to fall into. With his ability, it wasn’t difficult to block his grandfather’s trap, but for some reason, on a whim, he didn’t speak up.
When Tang Yanqi cast him a gaze as if seeking help, not only did Sheng Jianan not find his grandfather’s suggestion unpleasant, but he also found it somewhat interesting. Isn’t it nice that this woman finally showed a bit of a different expression?
When he kissed her, he could clearly feel that uniquely feminine shyness. She didn’t resist, but she didn’t embrace it either, even one might say she was clumsy.
This woman always maintained a cold demeanor, so eager to draw a line between them, but Sheng Jianan also noticed that a slight intimate contact would completely expose her innocence.
Her indifference made Sheng Jianan feel that his proud ego was being challenged, while her shyness, her blushing cheeks, her eyes brimming with tears, and her vaguely vulnerable look when seeking help, all made Sheng Jianan feel incredibly pleased. He just liked this feeling, liked it very much.
That’s why there was just the kiss. Sheng Jianan knew they were being followed, but that wasn’t his main reason for kissing her. He kissed her because he wanted to, and also because she had quickly reverted to her cold demeanor as soon as they left the Sheng family, which displeased him greatly.
The car drove smoothly back to Lake Bay Villa. As they got out of the car, the vehicle behind them also stopped. A woman in her forties got out, and Tang Yanqi recognized her as someone from the old residence, surnamed Zhang.
