Fan Cheng could clearly see her movements and her departure. Although she was talking to Gu Xiaoxiao, she had been observing Shen Que’s movements from the corner of her eyes. Upon seeing her leave, she hurriedly ended the conversation with Gu Xiaoxiao. The others had stopped fan Cheng from inviting him to dinner, but he had also gotten his assistant to reject them. His boss had something important to do. How could he possibly have dinner with them? The assistant thought in amusement. After getting rid of these people, she hurried to catch up with her boss.

Shen que returned to her room and sat on the bed in a fit of pique. She could not get that scene out of her mind. This man was flirting with her right in front of her. Initially, when she saw Fan Cheng today, she thought that he was here to see her. In the end, the two of them did not interact much, and she even saw him talking to Gu Xiaoxiao intimately. He really did not take her seriously! The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. Shen que casually grabbed the pillow and used it as Fan Sheng, slapping the pillow twice.

However, after venting her anger, Shen que felt that what she did was too childish and meaningless. No, she was a woman of the new era. She had to focus on her career and obtain the achievements of her previous life. Therefore, she should not be bothered by these romantic affairs. Shen que comforted herself by picking up her pajamas and going to the bathroom to wash up.

After taking a shower, Shen que walked out while drying her hair. When she heard a knock on the door, she draped a towel over her shoulders and went to open the door. Seeing that it was the man who had made her angry, Shen que did not want to talk to him at all. She did not close the door either. She turned around and went back into the room. She sat on the bed and continued to dry her hair.

Fan Cheng noticed that Shen que was clearly ignoring him, and his cheerful smile faded. He did not know why Shen Que was throwing a tantrum at him, so he walked straight into the room, he saw Shen que sitting there, wiping her hair absentmindedly. She had just taken a shower, and her whole body was emitting a refreshing fragrance. The water from her hair brushed past her delicate collarbone, making fan Cheng Feel a little restless.

Ever since fan Cheng entered, his gaze had never left Shen Que. He gulped and sat down beside her. He looked down from Shen Que’s delicate neck… feeling her burning gaze, Shen que could not ignore fan cheng even if she wanted to. Unable to bear it any longer, she turned around to face fan cheng, her eyes flashing with anger.

“What on Earth are you doing? Why aren’t you saying anything even when you’re here? You’ve been sitting here the whole time,”Shen que said, glaring at fan Cheng. One second, this man was flirting with another woman. The next, he was looking at fan Cheng with such deep affection. What was he trying to do?

“You were the one who ignored me,”Fan Cheng said. He raised his hand and gently caressed Shen Que’s exposed shoulder, feeling the smooth and delicate skin beneath his hand. For some reason, Shen que felt that fan Cheng’s aggrieved look was quite cute.

“Weren’t you chatting happily?”Shen que pouted. She just couldn’t stand fan Cheng speaking to another woman in that tone.

“What’s the matter? Are you angry?”Fan Cheng asked, a hint of a smile in his tone. Not to mention, he liked to see Shen que being jealous of him.

Shen que did not say anything. She felt that she had already acted straightforwardly, yet fan Cheng was still asking her this. He was clearly teasing her on purpose..
