Chapter 168 At such a young age, he's quite adept at manipulating people.
"Hmm, what do you mean?" Lin Zaoyi pouted. "At least give some response."
He breathed closer, "When it comes to liking you, never compare the degree to mine."
Her heart pounded, captivated by his every word. Overwhelmed by emotion, she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed his lips. "This is a reward for you."
The man's Adam's apple bobbed, and his eyes darkened. "Since it's a reward, you'll have to work hard tonight."
Lin Zaoyi was stunned for half a second, then her face flushed. "Tan Zhaojing, can't you be a little more restrained?"
Tan Zhaojing chuckled, but his tone was serious, "Be careful in the future. You have to be understanding during this period, after all, you've been single for two years."
Lin Zaoyi said she had nothing to say, and unconsciously tugged at his cufflinks with her fingers. She finally decided to change them, and this pair seemed to be new to her.
"This looks nice, is it the brand I bought?"
He lifted her chin rudely. "So, you let someone else choose?"
She realized, "No way, I bought too much at once, and I wasn't in a good mood to remember it."
After making amends, he snuggled into her arms again, saying, "I'll remember this from now on, Tan Zhaojing. Don't worry, I promise to be a good suitor."
Tan Zhaojing moved his finger bone to the soft flesh on the back of his neck and gently rubbed it. "At such a young age, you're quite good at manipulating people."
Lin Zaoyi chuckled softly, and before the smile on her face had faded, footsteps approached.
More than one, they're all heading this way.
Duan Lin put one hand in his pocket, glanced at the two of them indifferently, and then looked at that beast Meng Henian. Everyone else is in love, but he's still single, which makes him itch with envy.
He glanced at the little chili pepper unconsciously, and the next second, the chili pepper turned her gaze over, her slightly upturned lips instantly flattened, and she glared at him before rolling her eyes.
"..."
It's not just spicy, it's also pungent. How come I never noticed that before?
Tonight, a voice whispers in my ear, "You made up pretty quickly."
He couldn't help but interject, "It's obvious that Zaoyi was annoyed by Tan Zhaojing's persistent pleading, which is why she had no choice but to agree."
Tan Zhaojing was in a good mood at the moment and didn't care.
But Lin Zaoyi wouldn't stand for it; she had to protect her boyfriend's pride. "President Duan, you've got it wrong. I'm the one who coaxed Tan Zhaojing, and I'm still pursuing him."
Duan Lin and Meng Henian were surprised, but Meng Jinxi was not. She understood perfectly; she wanted that subtle, intimate fun too.
Duan Lin almost thought he had misheard, "No... Tan Zhaojing, you still need to chase after him?"
Tan Zhaojing had heard similar words from her father, but they still sounded jarring to her ears. She glared at him and said, "So there's a reason you're single."
Duan Lin: "..."
“Absolutely,” Tan Jiani immediately chimed in, “So unromantic, no wonder she’s single.”
Duan Lin again: "..."
This brother and sister are taking turns making personal attacks; that's unacceptable.
Meng Henian keenly sensed that his little darling's aura had changed, and pulled her aside, asking, "What's wrong?"
Xi Xi remained silent, staring intently at him, making his eyelids twitch involuntarily. "Speak."
The girl curved her lips into a smile that looked utterly fake. "I wanted to ask you how it feels to be pursued by me?"
The old grievances were brought up unexpectedly.
Meng Henian did not try to deny it, stating the facts: "It felt good, but also painful. I couldn't respond. By the time I wanted to do anything, you had already decided to leave me."
After that, he begged her for half a year before she finally turned back.
Meng Jinxi's temper flared up quickly, and she pouted, "Let's go play mahjong."
Duan Lin is destined to lose tonight. Even if he looks at the cards carefully, it won't help. Not only are those two bastards standing behind him giving him instructions, but his third aunt is also feeding each other cards.
Whatever, I'm not going to lose money or risk my life.
We didn't stay out for too long; around 8 PM, everyone went home.
Lin Zaoyi was really scared, so she started to act coquettishly in the car. Her whining and whining not only failed to achieve the desired effect, but also aroused his desire.
He parked the car in the garage and locked the doors.
A flush spread through her ears, and Lin Zaoyi's face turned red. "Tan Zhaojing, this is in the car!"
He hummed in agreement. "How about giving it a try?"
It sounded like a discussion, but his behavior was domineering and tyrannical. He leaned over and unbuckled her seatbelt, pushing the seat all the way to the back, forcing her to fall backward with the inertia.
She struggled with both hands and feet, but she never won a single time in terms of strength; he easily pinned her down.
The streetlights outside the car shone in, and with that dim light, Tan Zhaojing noticed that her cheeks were flushed, and her eyes were filled with a mixture of shyness and anger.
The girl pouted and glared at him, "Tan Zhaojing, you've gone too far!"
He kissed her and readily agreed with a "yes," saying, "That's too much."
Lin Zaoyi trembled as her fingertips lingered on the water.
He's so good at it.
no.
One must be rational; "No way..."
"Ready."
He opened the armrest box and took something out. "I put a box in there at noon."
Lin Zaoyi: "..."
That won't work either.
He licked his dry lips. "Don't you think it's cramped?"
He said, "It's not as crowded as you."
Her head spun for a moment, "What? No me...?"
He immediately realized what she meant and his face flushed instantly, "Tan Zhaojing!"
He chuckled softly, his breath brushing against her ear. "I'm here."
"go home!"
"Okay, I'll go home in a bit."
The space was cramped, and in a short while, a thin layer of condensation formed on the car windows, which later became even thicker.
...
The next day, Lin Zaoyi woke up in Tan Zhaojing's arms. It was rare for him to lie down with her until 7 a.m. "How did you sleep?"
Tan Zhaojing lowered his head and kissed her forehead. "Very good."
She smiled gently, saying that everything would be fine from now on.
After getting up, washing up, and having breakfast, the two of them went out one after the other.
The two cars were parked together. Lin Zaoyi took out her car keys from her bag, but before she could get close, Tan Zhaojing pulled her back, saying, "I'll give you a ride."
"I need a car for my field work."
"The driver will take the car there."
Lin Zaoyi: "...Isn't this troublesome?"
Tan Zhaojing opened the passenger door and pushed her inside, saying, "No trouble at all."
All right.
If the big boss says it's no trouble, then it's no trouble.
Perfect timing, she was too lazy to drive anyway.
At 8:40, the car drove into the main station parking lot. Because Tan Zhaojing deliberately slowed down, the driver arrived at the parking lot at almost the same time. After taking the keys to the electric car, Lin Zaoyi waved to someone.
He didn't respond, but stared at her.
I understand.
She climbed into the car and planted a kiss on his cheek. "See you tonight."
Tan Zhaojing slightly raised the corner of her lips, "I'll pick you up after get off work."
As if knowing what she was going to say, he said, "No trouble at all."
"...good."
As she climbed out of the car and closed the door, her colleague called out to her, "Zaoyi."
She turned around and saw not only her eldest sister, but also Xu Yang.
As the car window slid all the way down, Xu Yang's gaze met the scrutinizing look coming from inside the car. Although the look wasn't as oppressive as before, it was definitely not friendly.
He couldn't bear to see the other person being so petty, so he took the initiative to greet them, "Brother, are you taking your wife to work?"
Tan Zhaojing: "..."
Lin Zaoyi: ? ? ?
