Shen Zhiyi suddenly turned her head!

My gaze swept past the crowd and landed on the dark sofa in that booth.

Sure enough, I saw that familiar tall figure.

Li Yunqian sat back with his long legs crossed, his sharp features dancing under the bar's colorful lights, making him appear even more profound and captivating.

When she met his deep, dark gaze, her heart skipped a beat.

It’s over…

She slowly got up and reluctantly moved over.

"Hehehe..." she chuckled awkwardly, "What are you doing here..."

Before she could finish speaking, her wrist was grabbed by a warm, dry hand, and she was gently pulled down onto his lap.

"Li Yunqian!" Shen Zhiyi exclaimed softly, instinctively hooking her arm around his neck, and said awkwardly, "My friend is still there."

"So, I can't hug you?" Li Yunqian raised his eyelashes and looked at the booth not far away.

Inside, men and women were gathered, creating a lively atmosphere.

Several unfamiliar men were craning their necks and looking at them.

When Li Yunqian met their gaze, his aura suddenly turned cold. He wrapped his arm around Shen Zhiyi's waist and pulled her even closer to his chest.

With his other hand, he pinched her chin, forcing her to tilt her head back and look only at him.

"Little Darling, are you going to take back the promise you made to me?"

She said it was okay to hug and kiss.

Now, in front of her so-called "friends," she can't?

Jealousy burns in my pores.

His face was dimly lit, his expression unreadable, yet it held a dangerous undercurrent like the night.

"That's not what I meant..." Shen Zhiyi squirmed in his arms, her attempt to break free was immediately extinguished by him. He tightened his grip and even leaned down to press his lips against hers.

"Don't hide." His voice was low and hoarse, ringing in my ears. "Little Darling, you mean chatting all night in a place like this?"

"With those men of dubious origin?"

He pressed his nose against hers, the dark eddies in his eyes like a deep sea about to capsize, locking her in completely.

The hot breath brushed against her lips, and Shen Zhiyi dared not move again, pouting guiltily.

He muttered to himself, "I didn't know there would be so many people."

Her best friend is a very enthusiastic social butterfly. They hadn't been sitting for long when several people they knew came up to chat with them.

She didn't know that the other person stayed after only a couple of sentences.

It wouldn't be right to kick them out, would it?

That's incredibly rude.

"Besides, you haven't even told me how you ended up here?" Shen Zhiyi snorted twice, suddenly gaining confidence, and moved the hand that was grabbing his collar upwards, patting his face.

“Now that I’m the client, you should be reporting your whereabouts to me, not constantly asking me.”

“I came with you.” A soft pat came across Li Yunqian’s face, and his heart felt like it had been scratched by a kitten. His Adam’s apple bobbed, and he said in a hoarse voice, “I’ve been following you ever since you left the film crew.”

"You were following me?" Shen Zhiyi's eyes widened, and she slapped him again. "And you even called me on purpose to scare me?"

"Scare you?" Li Yunqian chuckled softly, but there was no smile in his eyes. His gaze swept over her fair and delicate face like a hook, and he gave a self-deprecating smile. "Does my little darling really care?"

"She was dancing and drinking with strange men behind my back, and she was smiling so beautifully."

"Where do you look like you're scared of me?"

Shen Zhiyi's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she lowered her gaze guiltily, whispering in defense, "What I drank wasn't alcohol... it had no alcohol content..."

"Besides, isn't it all your fault?"

"You won't let me do this, you won't let me do that."

"Otherwise, who would keep it from you..."

"So... Little Darling, did you have fun just now?" Li Yunqian's fingers caressed her chin, his gaze falling on her moist lips. Thinking of the men who had spoken to her earlier, using the excuse of not being able to hear her clearly, they sat closer and closer to her. His eyes darkened in an instant.

Has he been spoiling her too much lately?

Li Yunqian's dark pupils narrowed, and a chilling aura emanated from his body. Like a wild beast devoured by jealousy, he roared as he struggled to break free of his cage.

He grabbed her chin and kissed her without saying a word.

"Hmm..."

Shen Zhiyi placed her fingertips on his broad chest, pushing against him, "My friend is still here..."

Li Yunqian's eyes darkened, and he kissed her even more fiercely.

They even turned around so that the men in the booth opposite could see them kissing.

Shen Zhiyi's toes curled up.

He did not stick out his tongue.

But then, he grabbed her lips and began to bite, kiss, and lick them.

What she found even more unbearable was that...

The booth was dimly lit and filled with the aroma of alcohol.

She almost got drunk too.

"Little darling, would you like some wine?" Li Yunqian pressed his lips to hers, his gaze drifting to the wine glass beside him.

"The red wine I opened is from a very good vintage."

Shen Zhiyi leaned against him, panting heavily, "Where did you get the money..."

Li Yunqian lowered his cold, lustful eyes and said casually, "I showed the shop assistant the photos of us kissing, and they put it on your tab."

Shen Zhiyi: ...

She nestled against his shoulder and bit his neck hard. "Then give me some to drink..."

Since I used her money, I have to drink my fill.

Li Yunqian's breathing became heavier, and the knuckles of his fingers gripping her waist tightened.

He bent down, picked up the wine glass, but didn't hand it to her immediately. Instead, he held it in his hand and slowly twirled it a few times.

The bright red liquid clung to the glass, swirling and reflecting a dangerous yet alluring halo.

He lowered his head and brought the rim of the cup to her lips.

"Little darling, do you remember when I taught you how to appreciate wine?"

Shen Zhiyi nodded.

"First smell it, then hold a mouthful in your mouth and savor it slowly."
