Jiang Jianian’s tone was cold and heavy, but Ye Zhiwei could hear many other emotions in it, such as suppressed patience and a little bit of barely perceptible tension.
Shocking.
Ye Zhiwei was indeed shocked.
She knew Jiang Jianian too well. He wouldn't have been so patient, nor could he possibly have been. But he stopped in time, going from a complete breakdown to a sudden halt.
"I didn't know you were pursuing me before," Ye Zhiwei said after a long while.
He was so handsome and arrogant, yet he lowered his head before her and said gently, "So now you know?"
He spoke so bluntly, how could Ye Zhiwei not understand? She nodded.
"You said last time that as long as a girl is willing to be pursued, it's a signal, which is basically a sign that you're going to be together. Were you lying to me?" Jiang Jianian asked again.
Ye Zhiwei: She said that? She said that? She's lied to him so many times, she remembers everything!
Jiang Jianian looked at her.
Ye Zhiwei also looked at Jiang Jianian.
She was so speechless that she couldn't utter a single word.
Since Jiang Jianian said she had said it, then she must have said it. What did she say back then? She just wanted to subtly teach Jiang Jianian how to win over the "green tea" girl.
Ye Zhiwei's silence made Jiang Jianian's gaze turn cold. He slowly asked, "So, you're lying to me?"
"No, no, why would I lie to you!" Ye Zhiwei immediately denied.
Jiang Jianian then chuckled very softly.
His gaze had been so heavy and oppressive just now, but now it was clear and bright, like the clouds had parted. His mood had gone from being depressed and suffocating to being relieved and he was noticeably happier.
The change of expression was so rapid that Ye Zhiwei was dumbfounded.
She found it hard to believe. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she really wouldn't have believed that Jiang Jianian was so easy to coax, as if a fierce and violent lion or tiger had lowered its head and was as easy to manipulate as a kitten.
But Jiang Jianian was still Jiang Jianian; he wasn't as easily fooled as a kitten. As if remembering something, he narrowed his eyes and looked at Ye Zhiwei, continuing to ask, "That Yu Shishu—"
This time, without Jiang Jianian having to say anything more, Ye Zhiwei readily explained, "Yu Shishu? Is he the director of Yingying's film? He and I are completely innocent, truly innocent. I don't know how I ended up trending on social media. He just kept trying to get me to act in one of his films, but I refused. He seemed unwilling to give up and was very persistent. Coincidentally, one of my favorite dessert hotels belongs to them, and I ran into him there. I don't know why I was secretly photographed."
A very conscientious and responsible explanation.
Jiang Jianian knew that Yu Shishu was no longer a threat, so he stopped mentioning him and subtly changed the subject, "What dessert hotel?"
“It’s a main course hotel that specializes in desserts,” Ye Zhiwei explained. “I often eat their cakes. Their cakes are delicious and beautifully made. I even have photos on my phone.”
Her attention was diverted; she looked down, reached for her phone, and began searching through it.
She has a natural swan neck. She has never practiced dance, but her neck is very beautiful. Even when she lowers her head, it is very graceful. Some of her fine, black hair falls on it. Jiang Jianian reaches out to touch it.
When Ye Zhiwei looked up, she saw Jiang Jianian carefully tucking her stray hairs behind her ears.
After she learned of Jiang Jianian's intentions, even the burning gaze he gave her as he tidied her stray hair made Ye Zhiwei's heart tremble. "Jiang, Jiang Jianian, are you... seducing me?"
Jiang Jianian paused, his clean and beautiful hand moving from behind Ye Zhiwei's ear to her lips, then gently rubbing them with his thumb. His gaze was even more intense than before, yet he still restrained himself, carefully watching his fingers trace the outline of Ye Zhiwei's lips.
Then, the boy withdrew his hand and kissed the spot where his fingers had just touched Ye Zhiwei's lips, but his gaze remained fixed on Ye Zhiwei.
Even though nothing substantial had been done, Ye Zhiwei's face still flushed red instantly.
Jiang Jianian then approached her and whispered in her ear in a hoarse voice, "This isn't seduction, it's just that I can't control myself."
