Chapter 148 - A Kiss And A Handsome Man (1/2)
”So...That day, those taxis in front of the Ren Mansion...” Yu Mei paused while he continued stroking her hair, her head was still resting on his chest as she asked, ”Were they all here because of you?”
”Yes.”
”And I was allowed to stay in the dormitory. Moreover, my room was different from the rest. Was it also because of you?”
He looked at the woman in his arms, ”Yes.”
Noticing how intimate their position was, she held the hand that was stroking her hair before sitting straight.
He immediately intertwined their fingers before she could take her hand back.
She cleared her throat, ”I didn't like the cafeteria food before but now they serve me food which tastes as it landed straight from some five-star restaurant. Are you responsible for this?”
He nodded.
”And why does the owner of that place looks at me so gratefully all the time?”
”Because he likes money?” He raised an eyebrow.
She was speechless for a second, ”Tell me in detail. You won't lie or dodge the topic.”
Jun Zixuan pursed his lips, ”I had Steward Gu pay them thrice their annual salary per week for doing a proper job.”
”_” Rich people are so wilful!
No wonder they looked at her like she was a walking cash cow.
She bit her bottom lips, ”When we are on cold war, shouldn't you continue treating me coldly? Why bother caring so much for me?”
She was obviously not that stupid. From the very first day, she had a feeling that all of these were done by him but because of how angry she was, she chose not to believe it or subconsciously avoided thinking about it.
”Cold war apart...I can't bear to see my baby panda starving because of the bad food.”
The corner of her lips twitched. This man was surely looking for a fight. He should know that he shouldn't comment on a woman's weight, especially not when the woman is her who was rather sensitive about 'weight' topic after waking up in this body.
She tried to get her hand out of his grip but he held it tighter.
She sucked in a cold breath when his hand accidentally touched the spot where Yu Yan had pressed her heels.
Jun Zixuan's gaze darkened, ”How did this happen?”
He caressed the swollen area on the back of her palm.
”Nothing much. It was just an accident.”
He stood up from the couch and walked out of the room. She raised an eyebrow and followed after him.
Jun Zixuan walked straight inside the kitchen before taking out an ice pack from the refrigerator. Just as he turned around, she bumped straight into his chest.
The servants quickly left the kitchen to give the couple some privacy.
”Ow...” She rubbed her forehead.
He was speechless, ”Why would you run after me like that?” He grabbed her hand and pressed the ice pack on the swollen area.
She laughed and leaned back on the kitchen counter, ”When you act like this, I feel like...” She tilted her head to the side, looking at the man as he carefully applied the ice pack to her hand.
”Feel like what?” He asked, without lifting his gaze from her hand.
She leaned closer to his ear, ''I feel like you care about me more than you should.”
”I do,” He tilted his head and whispered beside her ear, ''I can care for you more and more.”
The woman who was up to tease him ended up being teased by him. ”After all, we are friends,” She said, distancing her face from his.
