The hand that had just let go came closer and grasped her hand again.
Wen Yixing didn't move, letting him lead her.
Anyway, he didn't do anything too outrageous.
After a while, Shen Jingshao picked up the bag next to him, opened it, and found all sorts of desserts and breads inside.
"The food here isn't very good. I guess you might not have eaten enough, so I had someone buy you some food."
Wen Yixing rarely stays up this late, and given her high activity level today, she was indeed quite hungry.
The bag contained a famous old-fashioned dessert from Beijing, which was available in limited quantities every day. It tasted great, but was very difficult to buy. Wen Yixing had eaten it a few times before.
Wen Yixing stared at it for a long time, but didn't take it.
Shen Jingshao looked at her.
Wen Yixing explained, "It's too late, I'll gain weight."
“Not fat,” Shen Jingshao said earnestly. “It’s good this way, really.”
Since Wen Yixing started exercising, she has lost a lot of weight and her figure has gradually recovered. She has a very thin face, and if you only look at her face, you might think she weighs only 90-something pounds. In fact, she weighs much more than 90 pounds.
Since she started dieting, she has rarely eaten desserts, even though she loves them.
The desserts in the evening were especially tempting. Wen Yixing hesitated for a while before reaching out and taking out a strawberry bread.
Upon opening the packaging, you can smell a faint strawberry scent.
Wen Yixing eats very slowly and politely.
Warm yellow lights shone through the car window, and from Shen Jingshao's angle, he could even see the fine downy hairs on her face.
Shen Jingshao tried to look away, but he couldn't; he couldn't help but look at her.
She was sitting in his car, very close to him; if he moved his hand just a little further, he could touch her.
This is a scene I've only ever dreamed of before.
"Is it delicious?" Shen Jingshao asked in a deep voice.
Wen Yixing paused slightly, handed him the dessert, and asked gently, "Would you like to try some?"
No sooner had she finished speaking than Wen Yixing felt his burning hand grasp her wrist.
Wen Yixing looked up and unexpectedly met those deep eyes.
She realized what was happening and instinctively tried to pull her hand back.
But his strength was ultimately much greater than hers, and Wen Yixing couldn't move.
After a long while, Shen Jingshao slowly released her wrist.
There were only the two of them in the car, and she didn't realize how alluring her natural movements were.
She didn't understand how much effort he had to suppress his selfish desires and evil thoughts.
Shen Jingshao withdrew his hand, and seeing that she remained motionless, he apologized softly, "I'm sorry."
"It's nothing." Wen Yixing's tone remained calm, her gentle eyes looking at Shen Jingshao. "Actually, I think we also need to talk."
We're all adults; it's always better to talk things out than to keep guessing.
“You should know my current situation. We’re really not a good match right now.” Wen Yixing paused. “At least until the lawsuit is over, it’s best if we don’t see each other.”
Shen Jingshao seemed to have completely missed the point. He asked, "When are we going to file a lawsuit?"
Wen Yixing: "It will be soon."
Shen Jingshao seemed lost in thought, and simply said, "Hmm."
“Shen Jingshao,” Wen Yixing said, “you are a very good person, and I don’t want your reputation to be damaged because of this.”
Hearing her give him the "friend zone" treatment, Shen Jingshao felt angry but also wanted to laugh. He looked at her and said calmly, "I don't mind."
Wen Yixing remained silent for a moment.
She didn't expect Shen Jingshao to be so unyielding.
Just as she was about to speak, Shen Jingshao turned his gaze to the outside of the car window.
It was noisy outside; a group of people were passing by on the nearby road.
Despite the darkness, Wen Yixing recognized Fang Shiyan, who was dressed in casual clothes, as the person in the middle of the crowd.
It was stuffy in the car earlier, and Shen Jingshao was worried she might be uncomfortable, so he opened the window to let in some fresh air.
But now that we're here, it's easy for people outside to see what's inside.
Without Shen Jingshao saying anything, Wen Yixing subconsciously moved closer to him.
She tried to get him to block her.
Shen Jingshao took her hand and said in a deep voice, "It's alright, he can't see it."

When Fang Shiyan's assistant noticed that Fang had suddenly stopped, the assistant also stopped and asked softly, "Mr. Fang, what's wrong?"
Fang Shiyan looked back and saw a black Maybach parked in a dark corner.
The license plate number looked familiar, but Fang Shiyan couldn't quite place where he had seen it before.
However, recalling the scene he had just witnessed, he seemed to vaguely see Shen Jingshao's profile.
There seemed to be a woman in Shen Jingshao's car.
He only glanced at it briefly and didn't see it clearly.
Perhaps it's all an illusion.
Fang Shiyan turned back and continued walking forward, saying, "It's nothing."
