Bai Qingqing and Curtis were the only ones left in the tree hole now. Curtis held her in his embrace and ran his fingers through her mildly wavy hair, slowly combing through it, a joyous expression on his face.

Bai Qingqing also held his hair strands in her hands and toyed with it. She asked casually, “Are you in a good mood?”

“Mm,” Curtis responded in a bland tone.

“Eh?” Bai Qingqing was shocked to hear that he had moments like this where he was happy for no reason.

“What joyous thing happened on your trip for you to be so happy?” Bai Qingqing asked with keen interest.

Curtis’s blood-red lips curled in a happy arc, and he responded, “Mm.”

Even more shocked now, Bai Qingqing shook his arms and asked urgently, “Quick, tell me!”

Curtis merely revealed a faint smile.

Dying of curiosity, Bai Qingqing rode on his body and pleaded. “I beg of you to tell me. Since you deliberately sent Parker away to be alone with me, does this have something to do with me?”

Curtis raised a brow and replied the same thing, “Mm.”

“Really?” Though surprised, she couldn’t pry open his mouth to speak, so she despicably deployed the honey trap.

With a big belly separating the two of them, Bai Qingqing edged her face closer to Curtis’s face and used the same tactic he frequently used to seduce her—blowing air at him.

“Pffft!”

The moment she blew that puff of air, Bai Qingqing couldn’t help sputtering with laughter.

Rendered helpless, she gazed at Curtis with an aggrieved look, her large eyes that were slightly drooping at the sides appearing as pure and bright as that of a baby animal’s.

“Please, please tell me.”

Under the stare of such a pair of eyes, regardless of how cold Curtis’s heart was, he succumbed to her. He said defeatedly, “I saw you.”
