However, at this moment, the little girl's bright, moist eyes were filled with shimmering autumn water, making this angry gaze completely intimidating, and instead giving her the adorable look of a kitten with its fur standing on end.
Gong Ning's attempt to provoke Yan Jingzhou backfired, and she ended up being taken advantage of instead. A surge of anger rose in her chest, accompanied by a sense of indescribable embarrassment and annoyance.
She suddenly turned her head away from him.
That person is awful!
Looking down, I realized that my phone had fallen to the corner of the sofa at some point. I reached out and retrieved it; the screen was still lit, showing that the recording was still in progress.
Realizing that all her sounds had been recorded, she blushed and quickly pressed the pause button.
She originally intended to record Yan Jingzhou apologizing to her, but unexpectedly she got herself involved.
Gong Ning lowered her eyes and hurriedly searched for the delete button.
"I had no idea that Miss Gong had such a strange hobby?" Yan Jingzhou glanced at her out of the corner of his eye and said with a hint of mockery.
Gong Ning was startled, her finger trembled as she tapped the screen, and she accidentally pressed the play button.
In a panic, I tried to pause, but then inadvertently swiped my finger and moved the progress bar to the very center.
Gong Ning: "......."
Suddenly, the office, which had been quiet except for the sounds of wind and breathing, was filled with some indescribable noises.
The man chuckled softly, a slight smile unconsciously playing on his lips.
Gong Ning's face, which had finally cooled down, suddenly heated up again, turning bright red in an instant.
In a flurry of activity, I turned off my phone.
With her head down, she stammered and explained in a low voice, "Listen to me, I, I just, just wanted to hear you say those two words, no, no other meaning, I, you, don't overthink it! I, I, don't have any special, special fetishes."
Yan Jingzhou had a gentle smile on his lips. The bright light shone on his resolute face, making it look gentle and warm. His usually dark and cold eyes gradually filled with soft warmth because of his rare good mood.
He stared intently at the little girl, who was now cowering in silence like a little quail.
His long, slender hand, with its well-defined bones, gently stroked her soft, black hair, and his clear, mellow voice said, "Yes, I know!"
Clearly sensing the barely concealed pleasure in the man's voice, Gong Ning shrank back a little, pursing her lips and remaining silent.
Seeing that the young girl was genuinely embarrassed, the man stopped teasing her, his smile fading as he handed her the chopsticks and said calmly, "Are you hungry? Let's eat, okay?"
"Um!"
For the rest of the time, Gong Ning quietly ate her rice, without picking up any side dishes, just shoveling white rice into her mouth.
Yan Jingzhou glanced at her a few times, and a hint of doting smile gradually appeared in his eyes.
She lowered her voice and calmly changed the subject, "Today I took my anger out on you without understanding what happened. I was too hasty. In the future, I don't expect you to be completely free of injury, I just hope you can protect yourself as much as possible. It will break my heart if you get hurt, okay?"
The man's last few words, along with the slightly upturned tone at the end, made Gong Ning, who was about to bury her head in the bowl, suddenly raise her head.
She stared at him expectantly, her eyes still holding a hint of uncertainty—uncertainty about the words she had just overheard...
Yan Jingzhou tapped her soft earlobe with his finger, his expression gentle. "Be good, hmm?"
Gong Ning's eyes lit up, and she nodded obediently. The corners of her mouth, hidden by the porcelain white rice bowl, curved happily, and she felt very pleased with herself.
In an instant, the frustration he felt from being bullied by Yan Jingzhou vanished without him even realizing it.
Upon seeing the tempting dishes on the table, his eyes lit up, and he subtly quickened his movements as he picked up food with his chopsticks.
Ah Lin silently grumbled from the corner:
