Chapter 30 - Why So Clingy? (2/2)

“The food is here. Let’s eat, Senior.” She was thankful, even happy that someone cared enough to look out for her, but his good intentions were just putting her in a spot. She finished her food in a few bites and left after saying goodbye, without waiting to hear what Ning Mufan had to say.

Ning Mufan watched her figure grow smaller in the distance and clenched his fist in frustration. If he had just told her about how he felt earlier, she might not be married to that man. Even now, a part of him refused to take this lying down.

Deeply satisfied, Jiang Shaocheng inquired, “Why so clingy all of a sudden, Qiu?”

Tang Qiu nearly choked. “I thought you told me I had to show you how sincere I was.”

“Sure. And who was it that kept fondling me while sleepwalking, trying to take off my clothes and touch me?”

Tang Qiu buried her face in her hands, trying to conceal her embarrassment. “I was sleepwalking, That doesn’t count!”

He smiled, hooked her by the waist, and kissed her again..
