Xue Zhan's wet tongue continued to explore the depths of her mouth, Zhao Yu's hand abruptly slammed against his chest and pushed him away.
For a while, she couldn't be sure whether he was out of control or he had other motives, but her reasoning told her that this was the best response in line with her personality.
Moreover, how could someone like him lost control so easily? Rather than believing that he was in love with her, it was better to assume that he had noticed something suspicious and decided to test her.

Zhao Yu lowered her head and didn't dare to look at him. She got up from the chair in panic and stammered: "President Xue...I apologize, I... I should go, last night... Thank you for letting me stayed here."
After she said that, she didn't give Xue Zhan a chance to react. She hurriedly walked to the door. Nearing the door, she finally realized that she was still wearing his pajamas. She could only turn around, frantically ran back upstairs to change her clothes and carried her bag back down, then nervously bid him farewell once again.
Xue Zhan didn't utter a single word the whole time, and his face didn't show any reaction either. He just sat calmly at the dining table, watching her went back and forth awkwardly until the door was closed and her figure disappeared from his view.

Zhao Yu rode the taxi back to her apartment. Along the way she silently contemplated what exactly was on Xue Zhan's mind. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that the man must be suspicious of her.
Because of Song Xuan, could it really arouse his suspicion? Or maybe he saw through her acting long before that? And everything he did now was similar to what she did to Ji Sui, playing a game of cat and mouse?
This was possibly the worst outcome. This would put her into a tough spot.
Due to her anxiousness, Zhao Yu didn't notice a certain car was parked on the side of the road when she got off the car at the gate of the community. She entered from the side gate and leisurely walked along the green bushes, she casually glanced outside the fences and then realized that Ji Sui's car was parked on the side of the road not too far away.
The windows were shut closed, so she couldn't see if anyone was in the car. But only temporary parking was allowed in that parking space, she wildly guessed that man was still inside the car.
She usually jogged around her community early in the morning on the weekend, was he waiting for her? Or he just simply missed her and came here to sneak a glance at her?
Zhao Yu fished out her mobile phone and checked for Ji Sui's missed calls and WeChat messages. She also checked the surveillance cameras to make sure that Xue Zi'ang had not appeared at the door of her apartment again.
But just to be careful, she still didn't return back directly. Instead, she peered at Ji Sui's car and continued to walk into the apartment building with her head down.
When she got up to the 31st floor and glanced downstairs from the window, she could vaguely see the car was parked in the same place, so she sent a WeChat message: [Is your car downstairs?]
The interface showed that the other party was typing, and it seemed that he's typing a long paragraph of text, but when he replied back, there was only a short [En] word.
Zhao Yu was certain that Ji Sui must also staring at the chat interface without blinking, so she deliberately imitated his hesitant attitude and input some random texts in the spacechat box. It took a long time to type and replied him:
[If you have something to say, just come upstairs, 31st floor.]
As soon as Ji Sui step out of the elevator, he saw Zhao Yu was standing against the wall, obviously waiting for him.
Their eyes met, and the two of them became awkward again. Zhao Yu lowered her head, turned around to open the door, then softly said, "Come in first."
Ji Sui followed suit. Although he was a little cautious, he still looked around the room subconsciously. The room was simple yet elegant, fresh and soft, a precised representation of her character.
"Have you eaten breakfast?" Zhao Yu didn't ask him why he was downstairs, she just pretended to be calm and smiled at him, "Please sit down, my apartment was quite cramped, it can't be compared to your place."
"I think it's pretty good, it feels like home." Ji Sui also smiled, and his eyes fell on the dress inside her coat, "You... didn't come home last night?"
Zhao Yu nodded: "I accompanied my boss to an event and drank some wine, so I found a hotel nearby to stay the night."
Ji Sui's eyes dimmed: "Is it... Xue Zi'ang?"
"No, I've changed my post and got nothing to do with him anymore." Zhao Yu explained quickly, then added at the end, "I stayed alone last night, there was no other man."
After she finished speaking, she realized the way she explained was too detailed, she lowered her head skittishly, took a water container to pour a glass of water for him, didn't dare to look at him again.
Ji Sui's expression became bright at the speed visible to the naked eye. She was so restless that she didn't even notice that the water was overflowing from the cup, he quickly got up to help her.
His fingers accidentally clasped hers, the palm against the back of her hand was warm.
Zhao Yu's body trembled and she withdrew her hand, but after pulling back, she didn't move a muscle, she just froze like an ice sculpture.
Ji Sui's fingers moved, he actually also wanted to withdraw his hand, but when he looked down at the woman who was standing so close to him, he noticed her nervousness and shyness. He hesitated for a bit, but then he mustered up his courage and took advantage of the situation to hold both of her hands.
Zhao Yu didn't struggle, she raised her head and stared at him timidly, she bit her lips as if she was hesitating, then finally lowered her head again.
Their bodies were pressed together, he could felt that she was breathing a little too fast, and likewise, she could felt his heart was beating fast.
His body got closer, one arm slowly wrapped around her shoulders and hugged her gently, then in the next instant, he quickly retracted himself.
"I...I haven't had breakfast yet, I'll go prepare it now." He rushed into the kitchen. Even looking from his back posture, it's obvious that he was embarrassed.
Zhao Yu couldn't help smiling. She pretended to be nervous, but this man was even more nervous than her, he probably didn't know how to get along with girls.
Listening to the rustling sound in the kitchen, calculating the time was about right, Zhao Yu walked to the kitchen door, quietly peeking at the busy figure inside, she hesitantly said, "Can I... ask you a question?"
Ji Sui stopped what he was doing and turned to look at her: "What is it?"
"Do you... like me?"
The hand holding the spoon tightened, Ji Sui froze in place, before he could answer, his ears and face were already flushed.
Zhao Yu knew that he would never expect that she would ask him so frontally, but this was exactly the effect she wanted.
With shyness on her face and confusion in her eyes, she just stood at the kitchen's door and stared at him: "You... if you like me, I might... I know you are a very good man and I am grateful that you have always been there to help me, but I just ended a relationship, I... need some time..."
"I can wait." After listening to her words, he calmed down and beamed at her with a determined look in his eyes.
If she really didn't like him at all, she wouldn't kissed him that day, and she wouldn't be so shy and nervous in front of him.
She had been hit hard by her previous relationship, that's why her heart was still confused. It was a very normal reaction. It was precisely because she treated her relationship seriously and she respected his feelings that she was in the current predicament.
In this moment, he silently declared in his heart, that she was more than worthy of his devotion.
"I'll patiently wait for you to make a decision."
