The moment Zhao Xuerou turned around, Jiang Cheng buried his head in the gap of the sofa on the other side and took a long breath, as if he had completely expelled the stale air from his chest, which also relaxed his tense body a lot.
Fortunately, he didn't make "the mistake that every man makes".
Jiang Cheng rubbed his hands together, still shaken, and composed himself, smiling slightly as if nothing had happened. He removed the disposable cake plate and handed a small plastic knife to Zhao Xuerou: "Shall we cut the cake?"
