“I…” Ji Liunian wanted to say the name of the Yu family and that she would become Ling Yichuan’s cousin-in-law in the future, but she could not bring herself to say it!

She must never expose her relationship with the Yu family! If he really went and confronted Yu Yichen, the engagement would be annulled. Then, the Ji family would be done for!

“So, now that you know better, be a good girl.” Ling Yichuan narrowed his eyes and was satisfied to see her hesitant expression. He thought that she had run out of excuses for rebuttals and was at a loss of words. Only then did he put on a calm expression. His lips gently pressed against her soft lips and kissed her again and again. He mumbled during the kiss, “Don’t worry. As long as you’re a good girl, I won’t treat you badly. I…”

It was just a gentle kiss, but heat surged through his entire body. He only wanted to hug her tighter!

He wanted to go further, but Ji Liunian put up a strong resistance. She pressed her fingers against his chest forcefully and pushed him away. Ling Yichuan frowned. Didn’t we already settle it just now? What’s she doing now?

For a woman… A little pretentiousness could be seen as coyness . However, overdoing it would be really hypocritical.

Ji Liunian said calmly, “Mr. Ling, I think you’re mistaken about one thing. Even if I don’t have a fiancé or a boyfriend, I won’t agree to it.”

Ling Yichuan frowned even more. Ji Liunian continued, “Because I don’t like you at all. I’ve never wanted to be with you, and I don’t intend to have anything to do with you. You’ve got it all wrong!”

“I admit that you’re handsome, charming, and have a high net worth. However, these qualities of yours have nothing to do with me. I’m not interested in seducing you.” Ji Liunian tried her best to remain calm. “Furthermore, Mr. Ling… You don’t lack beautiful women for company. Why waste time on me?”

The more Ji Liunian spoke, the darker Ling Yichuan’s expression became. His anger was palpable.

“You mean that you’ve never had any designs on me and you were serious about everything you said before? All of this is just wishful thinking on my part?!”

Ji Liunian nodded without hesitation. Ling Yichuan took a deep breath. A fluctuation of intense emotions surged through him. Then, he gave an eerie smile.

He had thought that Ji Liunian was manipulative and scheming.

Never did he expect that she really did not care for him at all right from the beginning!

“I’ll be frank… About what happened that night… I was set up. That night, someone got me drunk and I was so hammered that I didn’t know what was going on at all… If I caused any misunderstanding, I apologize. Besides, you didn’t suffer a loss, right? You said it yourself. We’re both adults. It’s consensual…”
