She wished she could disappear into a crack in the ground right now!
Lu Qianhan, who had initially maintained a somewhat scrutinizing and indifferent demeanor, was visibly taken aback upon hearing this earth-shattering line.
Immediately, his shoulders trembled as he suppressed his laughter, and the corners of his pale lips involuntarily turned upwards, eventually turning into a soft laugh that resonated in his chest.
The laughter rose in volume, sounding exceptionally clear in the corridor, filled with undisguised joy.
Lu Qianhan lowered her head, her gaze falling on the back of the head of the person who stood stiffly like a statue, whose ears were red and who dared not look up. The frost in her eyes turned into a playful and amused expression.
"Oh……"
"Miss Su seems so aloof and unapproachable on the outside, but it turns out... she secretly enjoys listening to this kind of... domineering CEO romance novels?"
He chuckled softly again.
"Woman, you have successfully caught my attention."
Then, deliberately mimicking the tone of the male voice in the earphone, he slowed down his speech, speaking in a lazy and deep magnetic voice to the back of the head in his arms.
He paused deliberately, emphasizing the words "my attention," and looked at my ears, which were so red they looked like they were about to bleed, with a broad smile.
Zi Xi felt a surge of heat rush to her head, and her toes curled up awkwardly inside her shoes, almost digging out a three-bedroom, one-living-room structure!
She'd never been this crazy in her entire life!
She suddenly crouched down, almost grabbing the phone and the culprit's earphone, frantically trying to turn off the phone's speakerphone.
The more flustered he became, the more his fingers would disobey him, and that damned phone was still playing the domineering CEO's heartfelt monologue on speakerphone: "Baby, I want the whole world to know that this mountain is yours!"
Lu Qianhan's smile deepened as he looked at her flustered and helpless appearance, as if he were looking at a frightened rabbit.
This was a stark contrast to his usual calm, composed, and even somewhat indifferent demeanor, which made him find...somewhat endearing?
He suddenly had a mischievous urge to tease him.
Just as Zi Xi was about to calm down and stop the embarrassing noise, Lu Qianhan had already squatted down and silently approached her.
A split second before she pressed the mute button, he suddenly reached out and precisely grabbed her wrist, the one holding the phone.
Zi Xi trembled and turned her head sharply, only to bump into a pair of phoenix eyes that were smiling and clearly teasing.
They were so close that she could even smell the medicinal scent emanating from his inner pocket sachet, mixed with a faint masculine aroma.
"Let me go."
She tried to break free, her voice trembling slightly with embarrassment and annoyance.
The grip on Zi Xi's wrist did not loosen in the slightest, as if it were shackles.
Lu Qianhan not only did not let go, but instead moved even closer to her in that position.
"Woman, don't you want to take responsibility for putting out the fire you started?"
He leaned close to her ear and, in that imitated, low and ambiguous tone, deliberately lowered his voice, urging Zixi to continue her suicide attempt, word by word.
"..."
Zi Xi was completely petrified. She felt everything go black and the whole world was spinning.
Her only thought was, "This damn cheap Bluetooth headset!"
And... this man is so utterly despicable!
"What...what nonsense are you spouting! And you even mentioned starting a fire! Don't you understand what a marriage of convenience is?!"
Zi Xi turned her head sharply and glared at the nasty man.
"Whether I'm lying or not, Miss Su, don't you know?"
"After all, the bold statement about contracting the fishpond was made very clear."
Lu Qianhan raised an eyebrow and continued in that lazy tone, as if teasing its prey.
