Shen raised her head, her eyes slowly filling with deep affection.
"Xiao Bai, when we first met, I was wondering why you took that little cake with you."
"That's exactly why I became curious about you and wanted to see what kind of person you really are."
"At that time, I didn't know about the Shen family's plans, and I had some expectations for the person I was going to spend the rest of my life with."
"After getting to know you better, I suddenly realized that you seemed to be putting on an act in everything."
"Pretend to be happy, pretend to be omnipotent, pretend that nothing bothers you, pretend..."
"You like me very much."
As she said this, Shen Muyao's voice trembled slightly, all the coldness now swallowed up by her current personality.
What was exposed to Qin Bai was like an injured kitten.
The smile on Qin Bai's face slowly disappeared, and his words, like an arrow released from a bow, hit the bullseye.
Gently remove Shen Guaiguai's hand.
There was no arguing, no speaking, just quiet listening.
He thought Shen Muyao wouldn't think that much, nor would she understand him that much.
At the beginning, Shen Guaiguai was indeed a pawn in his eyes, a pawn that could bring Cheng Jing medical expenses.
But later...
He found his heart irresistibly drawn to the girl.
The sadness in Shen Muyao's eyes flashed by, then a bright smile appeared on her face.
"Xiaobai, I actually know that you fell in love with me later."
"But I'm curious, did you fall in love with me first, or did I fall in love with you first?"
"And also, do I like you more, or do you like me more?"
"These questions used to have answers, but now, for some reason, I feel that the answers have become ambiguous."
Qin Bai reached out and held her head to prevent her from falling off him.
With his other hand, he gently patted her back to soothe her somewhat agitated emotions.
"Before the day I appeared in the auditorium, I thought I had done a little more than you."
"But later I realized that I might have been wrong."
"You've been doing so much for me all along, you just didn't want me to know."
“Just like this collaboration with the Huang family, you should know in your heart that you were too hasty.”
"Given your personality, you like to be in control of everything."
"If you wait until you've developed your business for a while before cooperating with the Huang family, then perhaps the Shen family won't dare to make things difficult for you."
But now...
"The pressure you face will increase many times over."
"Xiaobai, you don't need to deny that everything you're doing now is to put my mind at ease."
"But I want to ask you, just for peace of mind, is it really worth doing this...?"
Is it worth it?
The candle wax dripped, forming irregular shapes on the table, layering and overlapping.
As the flames flickered, the girl's eyes shone brightly as she awaited a reply, her dark hair falling onto her delicate collarbone.
Their eyes met, creating ripples between them.
"It's worth it, very worth it."
"Actually, you already know..."
Shen Guaiguai suddenly stood up and pressed her lips to his.
He mumbled, "Xiaobai, that's enough."
The two embraced tightly, as if trying to merge into one another.
At this point, neither of them wanted to hide their feelings any longer, and they completely erupted.
Qin Bai secretly opened his eyes and met those clear, bright eyes.
The girl, like a startled little rabbit, quickly closed her eyes, and her legs, which were wrapped around him, tightened even more.
He suddenly realized something.
Could it be that Shen Guaiguai wasn't actually drunk, but was just using this opportunity to express her emotions?
That can't be right.
This adorable little thing wouldn't have so many ulterior motives.
After a long while.
Shen Guaiguai seemed to have become dizzy again.
Under the influence of alcohol, she didn't even have the strength to hug Qin Bai and collapsed limply onto the sofa.
Her fair V-line was visible beneath her disheveled clothes.
Qin Bai's eyes widened immediately.
I never expected that.
I never knew this girl had a habit of exercising.
The soft touch he had just felt made him somewhat distracted.
He quickly grabbed a blanket and covered up the alluring scenery.
Beneath her aloof exterior, the foxy girl is irresistible.
"Shen Guaiguai, Shen Guaiguai?"
"Hmm?" the girl mumbled in response, showing no intention of opening her eyes.
Okay.
I guess they were just tired from all the running around.
Qin Bai walked towards the bedroom.
The bed sheets and duvet covers in the guest room are probably dusty. Since Shen Guaiguai is a clean person, let's change them into a new set.
He pulled out a clean four-piece bedding set from the closet; it was one he had bought a long time ago, just in case something similar happened again.
When he bought them, Cheng Jing asked him why he was buying so many of these things.
Now it's coming in handy, it's better to be prepared than not, as rational as I am.
Qin Bai moved all the things off the bed and removed the original sheets and blankets.
"Phew~~~ This thing is more tiring than lifting weights. We should really invent a robot to change bed sheets in the future."
He was busy working, grumbling to himself, completely unaware that the little one lying on the bed had already rolled over and sat up on his own.
Shen Guaiguai looked at the guest room with clear eyes, showing no signs of being drunk as before.
She tiptoed towards the bathroom.
