Leng Linli still didn't let go, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his lips: "Let's leave it at that, so you don't have to come back again later."
"Let go, I won't... Ah..." Yan Zhi had barely finished speaking when the driver made a sharp turn, and Yan Zhi's face was buried in Leng Linli's belly again.
"Is this what you mean by 'can't'? Hmm?" There was a hint of amusement in his cold, stern tone.
Yan Zhi was annoyed... Did the driver have to be so disrespectful?
The driver glanced at the rearview mirror, a maternal smile appearing on his lips. The next moment, he thoughtfully pulled down the back seat partition to block out the sound and view from the back seat.
Bai Lian was furious when she saw that the view was blocked by the back seat, and glared at the driver the whole way.
“Mrs. Leng, your words don’t seem to carry much weight,” Leng Linli said with a leisurely smile.
Yan Zhi lay on her side on Leng Linli's belly, turned her head again to reveal her face, and there were some emotions in her eyes that she didn't usually have.
Leng Linli lowered his eyes to look at the person in his womb. Because she was restrained by him and her posture was inappropriate, a blush appeared on her face that she never saw before, and her bangs were a little messy.
Her eyes were dark and bright, and the gentle flow of tears softened the hardest part of his heart.
Leng Linli felt an urge to kiss her.
But he held back.
Leng Linli couldn't help but reach out and stroke Yan Zhi's head, his voice soft and gentle: "Does it hurt?"
He gently tucked the strands of hair that had fallen across her cheek behind her ear. Yan Zhi was stunned, not knowing why Leng Linli was acting this way all of a sudden. For a moment, she didn't react. Just like before they had fallen out, she subconsciously replied, "It doesn't hurt."
As soon as the words left her mouth, Yan Zhi realized that she had once again been blinded by lust.
Don't let love make you lose your mind!
One lesson learned is not enough?
After belatedly realizing what was happening, Yan Zhi said distantly, "President Leng, Bai Lian is ahead."
"Hmm..." Leng Linli responded indifferently, as if what she said was unimportant. His warm fingertips caressed her forehead for a moment, wanting to kiss her, but he ultimately restrained himself from doing so.
He was afraid that once the kiss landed, he would lose control and do something out of control.
Leng Linli withdrew his hand and simply held Yan Zhi in his arms without saying a word.
Yan Zhi looked at Leng Linli with a puzzled look in her eyes. She didn't understand what Leng Linli meant by this moment of tenderness.
Regardless of Leng Linli's meaning, Yan Zhi said again, "Could you... let me go first?"
"No." Leng Linli answered decisively, his voice carrying a hint of childishness, unlike his usual calm and mature self.
Yan Zhi sighed helplessly and called him by his full name: "Leng Linli!"
“Hmm…” Leng Linli responded simply as always.
Yan Zhi: "......"
Leng Linli looked at the person in his arms, and seeing her embarrassed and angry face, he felt a strange sense of satisfaction. He couldn't help but tease her again: "You took the initiative to throw yourself into my arms, and now you're at my mercy. What can you do if I don't let go?"
It was only at times like this that she wouldn't distance herself from him.
As Leng Linli spoke, he moved even closer to Yan Zhi.
His crisp breath went straight into Yan Zhi's nostrils, and the pleasant woody scent made Yan Zhi's head suddenly feel a little dizzy and out of control.
Leng Linli was too close to her, so close that Yan Zhi instinctively leaned back to escape, but she was controlled by him and could not escape. She could only try to avoid his presence and his breath, but the more she tried to avoid him, the closer Leng Linli got, and his presence became stronger and stronger.
Yan Zhi felt as if he was stealing her breath, leaving her with almost no room to catch her breath.
His cool, refreshing scent continuously assaulted her five senses.
Leng Linli smiled faintly: "Why are you hiding?"
Yan Zhi stubbornly insisted, "I didn't dodge."
Yan Zhi herself probably didn't realize that her voice had a coquettish tone, like she was being affectionate.
Leng Linli listened, feeling quite pleased.
This is at least the best moment in my mood in the past month.
Leng Linli even felt a pang of greed; how wonderful it would be if he and Yan Zhi could continue like this forever.
Past events are past and should not be held against us.
Seeing her like this, Leng Linli was in a great mood and stopped teasing her. He helped Yan Zhi sit up and put an arm around her waist.
"Let go of me, I'll sit down myself."
Yan Zhi was about to refuse, trying to pry open Leng Linli's hand that was on her waist, but Leng Linli didn't budge. Instead, he tightened his grip, staring straight at her with a gentle smile on his lips: "And then you'll use the same trick again later?"
Using the same old tricks again?
Nothing about a person is inherent, except... self-righteousness.
Yan Zhi smiled, gave up struggling, and said casually, "If President Leng isn't afraid of Bai Lian getting jealous, then so be it."
"You..." She put on that nonchalant, aloof look at him again, and Leng Linli's face instantly turned ugly.
Leng Linli stared at Yan Zhi for a long time, and realizing that Yan Zhi was serious, he barely suppressed his irritation and slowly released her.
Regaining her freedom, Yan Zhi breathed a sigh of relief and eagerly moved closer to the car window.
Leng Linli stared at his empty hand, unable to move for a long time, while Yan Zhi's escape pierced his heart. His gaze fell on the seat between the two of them, where there was enough space for two more people to sit.
Does she hate him that much?
Is she so eager to get rid of him?
I wish I could stay as far away from him as possible.
His thin, cold lips were pressed tightly together, and his chest felt tight.
But what can he do? He can't let her go.
If she knew what he was thinking, would she hate him even more?
Even...hate him?
Even though she hated him, he didn't want to let her go!
She was like a poppy; once you were hooked, you couldn't quit. She slowly eroded his heart and his reason.
Even though he knew she hated him and didn't love him, he still couldn't bear to let her go.
His cold, sharp eyes stared intently at Yan Zhi's face. Her gaze remained fixed on the car window, occasionally lowering her head, seemingly unaware of his burning gaze.
His cold, sharp eyes darkened. He didn't know why Yan Zhi could always so easily touch the deepest, most hidden corners of his heart. She was clearly very ordinary; she didn't even possess stunning beauty, nor was she the most outstanding woman by his side. Yet, he still couldn't help but be attracted to her and couldn't resist her.
In his heart, he had only one thought: he would never let her go again.
Hate if you want.
It's better than having neither love nor hate.
Yan Zhi kept her head down, and after a while her neck started to ache. She occasionally looked up, but her gaze met Gu Linli's deep, dark eyes.
Yan Zhi's heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously avoided Leng Linli's gaze. Just now... she seemed to have seen something unusual in Leng Linli's eyes.
Is it a hallucination?
Yan Zhi smiled, her lips curving upwards.
It's just an illusion.
How could Leng Linli possibly show her that kind of expression?
...The self-deprecating smile deepened.
Leng Linli looked at Yan Zhi's gentle and nonchalant face and felt a slight pang in his heart.
Does she hate him that much?
She didn't want to see him even for a second, so she quickly looked away.
