Don’t worry? I’m only worried because you’re here!

“Let go of me!” Ji Liunian struggled angrily and took a step back. She raised her palm without thinking!

Bam! The slap did not land on his face. Instead, it was intercepted by him in midair and held tightly in his palm. “Tsk, tsk. Although I like women to be wild and feisty… It’s fine for you to cause a scene if it’s just you and me only. However, if there are outsiders… it will be unruly.”

Although he was “reprimanding” her, Ling Yichuan’s eyes curved into crescents, and his angelic eyes shone brightly. Clearly, he was in a very good mood.

It was like watching an irritable pet cat scrabbling around with its claws.

“Who cares about unruly?” Ji Liunian was furious. “Let go of me!”

She turned around and suddenly saw the camera in the elevator. This time, she had a reason. “There’s a camera above!”

Ling Yichuan calmly took out his phone and made a call. “Sihan, turn off all the surveillance cameras in the surveillance room, including the elevator. Oh, and shut down the elevator.”

He hung up. “Are you satisfied now?”

What did he mean by that? Did he know what he was doing? Ji Liunian struggled vehemently before she finally broke free. She rubbed her sore wrist that was hurting from his grip. After a long time, she composed herself. “Mr. Ling, I told you that night was an accident. I don’t want to be in contact with you anymore, nor do I want to have anything to do with you. I… I’m getting married soon.”

“Oh?” Ling Yichuan smiled and took a step forward, not expressing any emotion at her words.

When he stepped forward, she subconsciously retreated in turn. Soon, her body was forced to the corner of the elevator by him. The man’s slender body leaned over, and the light above her head seemed to be blocked by his body. In front of her, there was only a shadow.

Ji Liunian was not a young girl who was ignorant of the world. She wanted to retreat again, but her back was already pressed against the cold elevator. She had no way out at all.

“You’re getting married soon? But as far as I know, you live alone. You don’t have a boyfriend or a fiancé.” Ling Yichuan continued to press forward. Soon, his chest was almost touching her bosom. His next words shocked Ji Liunian!

“You’ve only been in this company for a few months. No one in the company has ever seen you with a boyfriend. You don’t even go out except on weekends—you told me you had a fiancé. So, where is your fiancé?”

“You… How did you know? You had me investigated?” Ji Liunian asked in a cracked voice.

“Heh.” Ling Yichuan chuckled and stretched out his finger. He wanted to touch the corner of her lips, but she tilted her head and his finger slid onto her cheek. Ling Yichuan took it in his stride. His finger slowly slid across her smooth face…

“Besides, if you had a fiancé… how could I be your first?”
