Quick Transmigration: Hehe, the gluttonous girl is here!

The carriage fell silent.

Pei Shiheng's fingers suddenly tightened.

He did not answer immediately.

A subtle crack appeared in the gentle expression on that aloof and handsome face.

He could certainly say he was "responsible".

This is the safest way.

Saying he would take responsibility means that he only made that statement to her because of what happened last night.

Everything is reasonable, everything makes sense.

But if he says he likes it.

All his previous advances, all his tenderness, and all the coincidences of appearing "just" by her side were all for ulterior motives.

He is a complete and utterly despicable person.

He coveted his brother's girlfriend, secretly sabotaging their relationship, and even forcibly taking advantage of her while she was drunk.

All you need to do is say the word "I like you".

The clean and perfect shell he painstakingly built will shatter completely.

Pei Shiheng's Adam's apple bobbed rapidly, and his hands on the leather steering wheel tightened, his knuckles protruding high.

He dared not look Jiang Li in the eye, afraid that she would see through his dark and unspeakable thoughts.

However, he didn't want to lie to Jiang Li.

He could lie without any psychological pressure in front of anyone, but he couldn't do it in front of Jiang Li.

He didn't want to start their relationship with a lie.

Time passed second by second.

The silence inside the carriage was oppressive.

Just when Jiang Li thought he was going to continue using his impeccable excuse to get by,

Pei Shiheng suddenly raised his head.

The edges of those eyes were tinged with a faint red.

"I like it very much."

His voice lowered, becoming soft and solemn.

I liked you from the first time we met.

When he looked at Jiang Li, his usual composure shattered completely.

Her eyes were slightly red, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly.

He exudes a vulnerability and sincerity that comes from having his outer shell peeled away.

He is afraid.

He was afraid that this answer would make her realize that all his previous attempts to get close to her had been deliberate.

He was afraid she would think he had been scheming from the very beginning.

But he didn't want to lie to her.

What responsibility, what tradition?

He simply loves her.

From the first moment I saw her, I fell madly in love with her.

He dared not tell her that in those corners she couldn't see, he was driven almost mad with jealousy.

He dared not tell her that he had to use all his self-control every time he got close to her.

He was afraid she would find him terrifying, afraid she would despise him, afraid she would think he had taken advantage of her last night.

But he was even more afraid of losing her.

"Ginger and Pear".

Pei Shiheng called her name softly, his tone filled with pleading.

I really like you.

"So, can you choose me?"

Jiang Li sat in the passenger seat, her eyes slightly widened.

She never expected that this man, who was always so meticulous in his actions, would reveal his hand so directly.

She thought this person would continue acting, using his flawless, manipulative rhetoric.

Let it lay the groundwork for another ten days or so, allowing it to slowly seep in, like boiling a frog in lukewarm water.

How did the topic suddenly shift to confessing feelings and asking to date?

Jiang Li looked at Pei Shiheng.

His eyes were slightly red, his long eyelashes were lowered, and he was tense, yet he restrained himself from getting close.

Those eyes, which were always gentle and composed, now held a tension and anticipation she had never seen before.

Jiang Li felt her face flush under his gaze.

【precious.】

The system's voice rang in my mind.

You blushed.

Your ears are now the same color as a cooked shrimp.

Jiang Li mentally kicked the system.

She turned her head away, pretending to look out the car window, but actually trying to save face.

"I……"

She spoke, her voice softer than she had expected.

"I just broke up with Lu Chengye."

Pei Shiheng's fingertips paused slightly on the steering wheel.

"If I were with you right now..."

Jiang Li turned to look at him.

"Aren't you afraid Lu Chengye will turn on you if he finds out?"

"You two are friends, after all."

She paused for a moment.

"If others find out..."

"The meeting is going on about you, the dignified eldest son of the Pei family."

On the surface, he's a kind and honest person, but behind the scenes, he's a master at stealing his brothers' partners.

"Aren't you afraid of ruining your reputation?"

After she finished speaking, she observed Pei Shiheng's expression.

This question is actually a test.

She wanted to see just how much this man wanted her.

Is it the kind of "want but afraid of trouble" or "not afraid of anything as long as it's you"?

Pei Shiheng was stunned for a moment after hearing this.

Then, the light in those eyes suddenly shone brightly.

It's so bright it can't be hidden.

He understood.

She was asking him if he was afraid, not rejecting him.

This means that she not only did not directly refuse, but was seriously considering agreeing to his request.

This is equivalent to her agreeing.

Pei Shiheng's heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to explode. The joy that had been suppressed for so long finally broke through all his restraint.

His lips curled up uncontrollably, causing his broken skin to ache, but he was completely unaware of it.

He raised his hand and gently touched Jiang Li's cheek with his fingertips.

"I'm not afraid."

His voice carried an irrepressible chuckle.

"Those reputations are not as important to me as you are."

His fingers slid down and gently pinched her soft earlobe, the movement being extremely tender.

"I'll handle Lu Chengye's situation."

He looked at her, his gaze gentle yet earnest.

"Jiang Li, you're the only one I care about."

"As long as you're willing to be with me, none of these things matter."

"Leave everything to me."

He said this with an unquestionable certainty.

This isn't about comforting her.

It's true that everything has been thought out and everything has been prepared.

We're just waiting for her to nod.

"Bao," the system spoke in my mind, its tone complex.

I think you should calm down now.

But I also think...

[Forget it, I'm not going to say anything more. This man is too good at flirting; I'm almost smitten.]

Jiang Li ignored the system.

Because she was staring blankly at Pei Shiheng's face.

He is laughing.

He laughed heartily and contentedly.

This was the first time Jiang Li had ever seen him smile like that.

This person usually keeps himself very private, and his emotions are always perfectly in control.

Gentle, but distant.

Considerate, but with a sense of propriety.

At this moment, his aloof and noble face was filled with the satisfaction of receiving the most precious gift in the world.

The white shirt made him look incredibly gentle.

【Baby, listen to me.】

The system's voice sounded again.

He's currently using an S-level charm offensive on you.

[A smiley attack combined with unexpected cuteness and genuine sincerity, all stacked to the maximum.]

Your sanity is currently at zero.

I suggest you—

I'm not listening anymore.

Jiang Li thought to herself, "So what if my sanity is zero?"

She stared at Pei Shiheng's face, which was lit up by a smile, with only one thought in her mind.

good looking.

It looks really good.

Pei Shiheng's smile is captivating.

While she was still in a daze, Pei Shiheng had already leaned over and unbuckled Jiang Li's seatbelt.

He slipped one hand under Jiang Li's knees and put his other arm around her lower back.

"Hey, what are you doing...?"

Jiang Li felt a sudden dizziness.

When she came to her senses, she was already sitting on his lap.

"..."

Due to limited space in the carriage.

She had to spread her legs and straddle Pei Shiheng's lap.

The man's body heat flowed continuously through the fabric of his clothes.

A burning hot hand protected her back.

Jiang Li instinctively reached out and wrapped her arms around his long neck.

The two were pressed completely together.

The air was filled with the crisp and pleasant scent of cedar.

Mixed with his unique hormonal scent.

The man's muscle definition was clearly visible beneath his suit trousers and white shirt.
