I never touched her

”Of course it's true. Why would I lie to you?” She smiled.

However, that smile, no matter how you looked at it, felt that something was wrong. He paused for a moment, then asked tentatively, ”Then, are you willing to return with me tomorrow?”

”There's no clause in the agreement.” She glanced at him. ”That's why I refused.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt the arm around his waist tighten. When he looked up, he saw his face was dark and his eyes were staring straight at him.

”What are you doing?” She frowned, wanting to break free from his embrace. However, she found that he was hugging her tightly, unable to move at all.

”You must come back with me.” he said in a low voice.

She smiled. ”Why?” She hesitated for a moment, knowing that she might regret missing out on herself for life, but she felt that she would not regret it if she refused, because she felt that she valued something else more than love.

He pursed his lips tightly, and a stern and unyielding line appeared on his chin. ”Because you are my woman.”

”Are you kidding? I'm not anyone's person, I'm my own person. ” She snappily looked at him. ”Seriously, is it really okay for you to talk to yourself like that?”

”Why didn't you come back with me? Tell me the reason.” He stared at her, refusing to let go.

She almost rolled her eyes. ”Didn't I say the reason just now? Because you are a mystery to me. I don't want to hand over the future to you. This is too risky.”

”You don't trust me.” he said in a low voice.

She shrugged. ”If you think so, yes.”

He was silent for a long time before he slowly spoke out: ”Ye Xuan and I were purely engaged in business, her family just so happened to have what I needed at that time, and she herself also needed my help, so we agreed on the spot, thus we only had friendship, no love, and even more so, no marriage.”

Was that an explanation? She looked at him strangely. ”Is that all?”

He nodded. ”There's some nonsense about it, but that's about it.” After saying that, he looked at her fixedly. ”Are you satisfied?”

”Then what about Ye Yun? ”You and her …” When she saw his expression change, she did not continue, ”It's fine if you don't want to say it, I'm not your person anyway.”

He shook his head. ”That's not what I meant. If I told you that I can't even remember what she looked like, you might not believe me.”

”How is this possible?” ”Do you take me for a three-year-old?”

”You see, I knew you would think that, so I never told you the truth.” He suddenly let out a rare sigh: ”Just like you saw it, she really likes me, but honestly speaking, I don't have any feelings for her, so she is merely Ye Xuan's little sister to me, but she obviously doesn't think this way. I know that she did what happened that night, so I wanted to find her and ask about your whereabouts.

She tensed up and stared at him with her eyes wide open. Even her voice had changed. ”What happened next?”

He looked at her with a faint smile. ”It seems like you're very nervous.”

She blushed. How could she not be nervous? This was related to her man's innocence.

”Nothing happened between her and me.” He fixed his gaze on her and said, ”I'm not that useless. Don't worry.”

”Hmph, what does it have to do with me whether you touch her or not?” Under his penetrating gaze, she turned her head away uncomfortably.

”That's not right!” She suddenly thought of a question and asked him, ”Didn't you say that she drugged you? Why don't you touch her? ”

If it was anyone else, she would have suspected that some of his functions were not perfect. However, she had personally experienced this before, so she naturally knew that it wasn't very reliable. After all, he had caused her to die many times.

Thus, there was still something suspicious about his words.

He paused, as if he hadn't expected her to ask such a question. ”Of course I have a way to resist. Do you think your man is that weak?”

”Is that so?” She looked at him suspiciously, staring intently, trying to see from his expression that he was lying a little.

When he saw her looking at him like that, he revealed an evil smile, ”If you continue to look at me like that, I'll take it as an invitation.”

Invitation? Invite what?

She instinctively froze for a moment before reacting. She covered her head from head to foot with the blanket and said, ”I'm going to sleep.”

He smiled at her blushing face, then pulled back the covers and slipped inside.

Her body stiffened, as if she wanted to push him away. But in the end, she chose to pretend that she didn't feel anything, and silently closed her eyes.

She only heard his arms around her as his warm breath gently blew at the back of her head, causing her heart to feel numb.

What did he want to do?

Although she had her eyes closed, her heart was in her chest and she didn't know what was going on.

After a while, he whispered in her ear, ”How are you doing? Is that why you agreed to come back with me?”

She was silent, as if she were sleeping.

After he asked this question, he let out a soft sigh and stopped moving.

It was unknown when the two of them fell asleep that night.

In any case, she only found out the second day that sunlight had already flooded the entire room and Si Lianye was completely gone. Looking at the time again, it was already almost noon.

She sat on the bed and looked around the room. Unexpectedly, a thought appeared in her mind, that was, Si Lianye was finally willing to let go?

Did he really leave?
