Lin Yanâs sorrow was like a river turning against the current. She used all her determination to resist the temptation and scrambled hastily to get back on her feet.
At the moment, she only had one thought. She had to flee before Pei Yucheng woke up!
Lin Yan straightened her back and got ready to sprint. However, a second later, a hand tightened its grip around her waist in a forcible, forceful manner.
She fell and collapsed once moreâŚ
Lin Yanâs head hit the manâs chest, and the top of her head hit the manâs chin.
Her body turned stiff immediately.
She could feel a soft, light sensation on her foreheadâŚ
The kiss was as light as a feather as it brushed against her forehead. The manâs deep, manly voice sounded seductive in her ears.
âGood afternoon, Miss Lin.â
âŚ
âŚ
Lin Yanâs brain exploded like fireworks with a terrific bang.
Perhaps she had been a racer for far too long. She had always been surrounded by men, machines and engines. She had grown numb to men as time went by and merely treated them as brothers.
She had never treated Wang Jingyang as a man either. Even Pei Nanxu was just a celebrity she revered and idolized.
Han Yixuan had frequently complained that she wasnât feminine enough and didnât know anything about romance.
All these years, she had met all kinds of good-looking men. However, this was the first time a man made her heart, which was as hard as steel, race like an 18-year-old young girlâs!
The man looked sleepy and relaxed, and his eyes reflected her blushing face.
Lin Yan felt as though a crack had appeared in her brain, revealing a strange, wonderful illusion.
This manâs smell⌠Why was it so familiar?
It felt really familiar⌠As though she had known this man⌠for a really⌠really long timeâŚ
Lin Yan entered a daze for quite some time before she realized that she was still leaning on the manâs body.
Pei Yucheng stayed in this position patiently as he supported her waist gently to prevent her from falling.
His hands, which were on her waist, were stroking her as though he was comforting a frightened little bunny. He gently caressed herâŚ
Lin Yan felt as though he was holding on to her softest, weakest part. However, she was perfectly willing. She had chosen to rely on him entirely.
Lin Yan jerked her head violently in a bid to wake herself up.
She twisted her body with force and slipped and fell to the floor. Then, she brushed off her bum and scrambled to her feet swiftly.
She immediately knelt down on the couch to seek his forgiveness. âPresident Pei, Sorry⌠Iâm sorryâŚâ
What excuse should she come up with today?
Lin Yanâs mind whirred rapidlyâŚ
âActually, this happened becauseâŚâ
âItâs because⌠becauseâŚâ
âOh yeah! Because of Pei Yutang!â
âHe asked me to look for him! He said that he was here and gave me the password to enter!â Lin Yan began to pick up momentum as she spun the lie. âIn the end⌠I accidentally tripped and I fell on you. I am sorry for disrupting your rest!â
Pei Yucheng sat up slowly, looking rather impressed. âYouâve improved.â
Lin Yan blinked. âHuh? Iâve improved?â
âYour explanation was well-constructed and logical this time,â Pei Yucheng remarked.
Lin Yan was speechlessâŚ
Indeed, he still didnât believe her!
He didnât believe the truth or the lie!
She was in a predicamentâŚ
