"Xueying, I have something to do. Let's talk about it tomorrow!" Hongli didn't want to stay here, not even for a second longer. He was afraid—afraid of himself like this, and afraid of Xueying like this. Her beauty was intoxicating, her beauty maddening…
Xueying seemed to have anticipated Hongli's reaction, so she acted first and threw herself into Hongli's arms.
"Hongli, it's me!" Xueying didn't want to miss the opportunity, so she hugged Hongli's waist tightly with both hands.
Shocked, K's entire body tensed as if facing a formidable enemy. The person in his arms pressed tightly against his tender chest, so frightened that he dared not move.
Hongli dared not lower his head. "Xueying, don't do this, I...I really..." Hongli's composure was broken, and he stammered.
"I deliberately got lost!" Xueying bit her lip and looked at Hongli.
Sure enough, Hongli looked down at her and asked, "Did you deliberately get lost? Why?"
“I saw everything you did to me, Hongli. You’re worried about me, aren’t you? You care about me! Whenever you’re anxious or worried, your left eyebrow involuntarily furrows.” Xueying looked up at Hongli’s chin.
Hongli had slender eyebrows, a high nose bridge, a pointed chin, and a pair of bright, diamond-like eyes that sometimes flashed with a disdainful look, making him look like an arrogant Persian cat. His beautiful pink lips were slightly upturned, carrying a hint of arrogance.
Looking at Hongli like this, Xueying couldn't help but feel her heart race. Although she had ulterior motives for approaching him, she still loved Hongli.
I'm afraid even the cunning Duke of England and his fourth wife hadn't considered this!
"Xueying, no matter what you do, I will not change my mind! I am engaged to Mingyu, what you are doing will not serve any purpose." Hongli said, trying to untie Xueying's restraints.
"Hongli, why don't you dare admit it? I thought you were a man of courage and integrity, but it turns out you're a coward! You say you don't like me, but your heart betrays you. Why is your heart beating so fast? This means you have feelings for me, doesn't it?" Xueying's imposing aura was a stark contrast to her weak and submissive image in front of Hongzhou.
“Xueying, Hongzhou has long regarded you as a treasure, you should…” Hongli said, closing his eyes. He was afraid that if he looked at this woman again, even his eyes would involuntarily betray him.
This was something Hongli absolutely could not allow; he wouldn't allow himself to lose control. Ulanara Xueying was indeed beautiful, even more so than Mingyu, but he was not a lecherous man who only cared about looks. He was already engaged to Mingyu; he absolutely could not truly fall for a woman from the Ulanara family.
“Hongzhou likes me, but I have never liked him,” Xueying persisted.
"Enough! Ulanara Xueying, you finally admit you don't like Hongzhou, but why do you keep giving him hope only to trample on it so easily? Where do you place Hongzhou?" Hongli asked sharply, then shoved Xueying out of his arms.
Bang……!!!
Xueying lost her balance and fell backward. Perhaps Hongli used too much force, or perhaps it was too sudden, but she fell backward right in front of Hongli.
Hongli suddenly rushed forward, grabbed Xueying's sleeve with one hand, and pulled her back into his arms.
However, because the commotion was so loud, neither of them noticed that the door was pushed open the moment Hongli pulled Xueying back into his arms.
