When Love Turns the Tables: The Mysterious Husband's Chase Chapter 278: Tang Yanqi’s Background (8)

"You..."

Tang Yanqi wanted to retort sothing, but when she saw Sheng Jianan’s "just try saying no" expression, she wisely swallowed her words.

The man’s hand lingering around her waist hadn’t left, causing a tingling sensation that made it hard for Tang Yanqi to withstand. She reached out to halt Sheng Jianan’s actions, but he had already grabbed her hand with his and moved his head on her shoulder: "Get up, shall we go eat?"

They had Japanese cuisine with Mrs. Sheng at noon. Tang Yanqi didn’t like it to begin with and didn’t eat much, so now she was starving. Even though Sheng Jianan’s logic was peculiar, she wouldn’t go against her stomach.

As she was about to lift the quilt to get out of bed and dress, she suddenly thought of sothing and looked at Sheng Jianan: "Are you going to the bathroom?"

Sheng Jianan had already put on his shirt, his hand pausing as he buttoned it, his eyes narrowing: "What part of your body hasn’t this young master seen?"

The implication was, he’d seen and touched everything, so there’s no need to be shy, just change right here.

Tang Yanqi’s face turned a bit red. Can this be put on the sa level? Although theoretically, nothing was wrong with it, it was really awkward. Did he not know how to spell "awkward"?

But with Sheng Jianan’s expression that said, "I just want to be here, what can you do about it?" Tang Yanqi gave in once again. Fine, fine, she won’t argue with him, after all, he’s childish.

Turning her back to Sheng Jianan, Tang Yanqi quickly took the bag from the bedside table to get dressed. She could feel the scorching gaze from the person behind her, and her cheeks couldn’t help but turn red little by little.

She was composed, but dressing so openly in front of a man wasn’t sothing composure could prevent from turning her face red. Without realizing it, the previous shadows had unknowingly been left behind by her. Her focus now was more on Sheng Jianan’s deep eyes and the burning gaze watching her.

Those were scars from many years ago, and they no longer hurt, but for so reason, being kissed so tenderly by Sheng Jianan now, a sharp pain began to spread from there throughout her body.

Tang Yanqi’s eyes suddenly reddened, as if soone was ticulously bandaging a wound she’d grown accustod to and wouldn’t bother to manage herself.

Clenching her teeth to hold back tears, Tang Yanqi wanted to quickly put on her clothes and thus interrupt Sheng Jianan’s actions, but she couldn’t. Not to ntion that person was Sheng Jianan; even if it was soone else, Tang Yanqi thought, she couldn’t do it.

Heaven knows she had also thought that soone would co to care for her, to protect her, but after years of being alone, she had grown accustod to it.

This feeling was different from being with Qi Cheng, Bai Bing, and the others. They were the sa kind of people; at most, they were just slightly luckier than her.

They could warm each other, cry and laugh together, but they wouldn’t and couldn’t be her umbrella. They were great, but they were too small, too small to have even a sliver of ability to help her shoulder her burdens.
