Chi Yanzhou had already let go of her other hand at some point, and before she could react, a velvet gift box appeared in his outstretched palm.
His voice, almost seductively gentle, rang in her ear, his breath brushing against her earlobe.
"So, Nan Nan, how about... being my girlfriend?"
Lu Nange's gaze fell on the gift box, then she looked up at Chi Yanzhou's eyes, which were reflecting only her image in the shimmering light.
A voice inside me screamed: Say yes! Say yes now!
But somehow, a mischievous thought popped into my head...
She tilted her head: "If I say I don't agree, then this gift... won't be given?"
Chi Yanzhou paused for a moment, then a helpless smile flashed across his eyes: "So, I... got rejected?"
Lu Nange looked into his eyes, which were so close to hers, and the corners of her mouth curved up.
"Chi Yanzhou, congratulations... you have a girlfriend."
The moment the words fell, she clearly saw that it was as if thousands of stars suddenly exploded in Chi Yanzhou's eyes, so dazzling that it was impossible to look directly at them.
The calm and composed shell that had always enveloped him seemed to shatter completely at this moment, revealing the pure and fervent joy beneath.
He almost immediately raised his other hand and gently pinched her chin.
This forced Lu Nange to tilt her head slightly, her voice filled with undisguised joy and eagerness.
"Nan Nan, your boyfriend asked for another kiss..."
"Wait!" Lu Nange reacted quickly, raising her hand and gently covering his lips with her palm.
With her other hand, she snatched the small velvet box from his palm with lightning speed and held it tightly in her hand.
Then, taking advantage of the moment when he was slightly stunned by her blocking him, she twisted her waist, slid out of his half-loose embrace, and ran away.
"Application rejected! Today's 'close contact' has already exceeded its quota! As for next time..."
She ran to a safe distance before turning around, her eyes crinkling with a bright, dazzling smile in the afterglow of the neon lights.
"As for next time...we'll talk about it next time! Boyfriend!"
After saying that, before Chi Yanzhou could react, she grabbed the gift box and ran briskly toward where Chi Yi had parked his car.
Chi Yanzhou stood there, watching her fleeing figure, the cool, soft touch of her palm still lingering on his lips.
He raised his hand and gently touched his lips with his fingertips, where her breath and warmth still seemed to linger.
After a long while, a low laugh reverberated from his chest.
Lu Nange rushed to the car, opened the door, and jumped inside, her heart still pounding wildly.
"Nan Nan, why are you driving so fast?" Chi Yi, in the driver's seat, looked at her in the rearview mirror, unable to suppress his smile: "Are you being chased by wolves?"
"Brother Chi, you've really gone too far. Please get your public image back, or you'll regret it when you start dating..."
"Dating?" Chi Yi quickly changed his mind: "Yes, young mistress!"
Lu Nange...
The other car door was opened, and Chi Yanzhou, accompanied by the night breeze, got in.
The car was spacious, but as soon as he arrived, the air suddenly became thin and scorching.
Chi Yi immediately switched to professional mode, keeping his eyes straight ahead: "Young Master, are we taking the Young Madam home?"
Chi Yanzhou seemed taken aback by his overly "sensible" form of address, and glanced at him with raised eyelids: "Hmm."
"Alright!" Chi Yi said, and very tactfully raised the soundproof partition between the front and back seats, leaving the space completely to the two of them.
The car glided into the night.
Lu Nange unconsciously picked at the edge of the velvet box with her fingers.
