This was an extremely ordinary phrase, but coming from his mouth, it seemed to have a different meaning.

It sounded like…

Shen Li turned to look at him.

“Second Brother, do you think it’s too long?”

Lu Huaiyu smiled.

“No, I was just thinking that you haven’t cut your hair much.”

Shen Li nodded.

She had kept her hair like this for more than two years.

However, Lu Huaiyu only seemed to mention it in passing, and they soon started talking about something else.

“Didn’t you go to Corning Street this afternoon?”

Corning Street was a very famous street in Bai City, which was where Shen Zhijin had lived.

“Yeah, I was delayed by something at the last minute, so I decided to wait for when Dad comes tomorrow and go with him.”

Lu Huaiyu raised his eyebrows.

“Was it because of that situation with YU?”

“Yeah.”

This matter had caused a huge commotion. It would have been difficult for Lu Huaiyu not to know.

Then, the corners of his lips curled up slightly.

“Is it because Yu Cheng offended you previously and your anger hasn’t subsided yet?”

Shen Li blinked.

“Is it that obvious?”

She had not told Null previously because she had not wanted him to worry too much. However, Lu Huaiyu was right in front of her and since he had asked this question with so much certainty, Shen Li had admitted it honestly.

Lu Huaiyu was deep in thought.

In fact, it was not only Yu Cheng but also Yu Yu.

According to the Yu family’s usual style, if this matter got out, they would definitely protect Yu Cheng.

On the other hand, Yu Yu would be greatly affected.

Previously, at the race track, Shen Li’s performance on the track had shown that she loathed Yu Cheng.

In addition to this matter, it seemed that… it was not just because he had provoked her before the race.

“What else did he do to upset you?” Lu Huaiyu asked.

“I just don’t like him.”

Shen Li settled further in onto the sofa, both of her straight and slender fair-skinned calves gently swaying from the edge as she casually spoke.

“Perhaps… he offended me in his previous life?”

Lu Huaiyu looked at the little girl who was lazily leaning against the sofa, swaying her legs, and with her head tilted slightly. It was rare for her to look so relaxed and delicate, so he could not help but laugh.

“Then he really deserved it.”

As he spoke, he leaned closer and asked teasingly, “Then, may I ask, Miss Shen, did I ever offend you in my previous life?”

They had already been sitting next to each other but now they were even closer.

Shen Li could even clearly feel his warm breath on her ear as he spoke, tickling her slightly.

She paused and turned her head to look at him.

The man’s face was extremely handsome, and his dark phoenix eyes held a faint smile.

Even though she had seen it countless times, every time she encountered this incomparably stunning face, she found that it still mesmerized her heart.

Looking deeply into his eyes, Shen Li used the hand that had been hanging by her side to gently press onto the sofa before tightening her grip slightly.

“Mr. Lu.”

Her heart was beating rapidly out of control, as if something was surging and almost overflowing from her chest.

“You have never offended me.”

She almost did not dare to look into his eyes, but there seemed to be an invisible force controlling her, making it impossible for her to look away.

Her red lips moved slightly, and her voice was very soft.

“Besides, I think I would have liked you in my previous life.”

…

The room was quiet.

The evening wind blew in through the half-open window, rustling the gauze-like curtains.

A wisp of faint moonlight flowed in silently.

The hand that Lu Huaiyu was using to help her dry her hair suddenly stopped moving.

He looked at her.

Her words had been so very soft and light that it seemed like they would disappear with the wind in the very next second.

However, he had heard them.

Every word had been so clear.

Her hair was a little disheveled. Because it was still damp, it looked particularly dark. A lock of her hair fell to her ears, making her skin look even more fair and delicate as if it was made of high-quality suet jade.

The light that spilled over them seemed to glow.

She was wearing a nightgown and there still seemed to be a trace of moisture on her body after she had taken a shower. Mixed with the fragrance of the shower gel, it made her look sweet and seductive.

Her crystal clear peach blossom eyes looked over, as if she did not realize what she had just said.

D*mn it.

Lu Huaiyu’s Adam’s apple moved up and down, and a rush of impatience surged up, which was almost impossible to control.

In the next second, his wrist moved slightly, and half of Shen Li’s face was instantly covered by a towel.

Her vision was suddenly blocked, and Shen Li was momentarily stunned, not quite used to the sudden darkness.

She subconsciously raised her face and muttered to him,”Second Brother?”

Half of her face was covered, leaving only the tip of her nose and a pair full, red lips.

Yet, she was still calling out to him, seemingly soft and dependent.

Lu Huaiyu held the back of her head with one hand and lowered his head to kiss her.

Unlike his usual gentleness, this kiss was strong and passionate.

He nibbled on her lips, before probing between her lips and teeth, twisting and lingering.

Attacking the city and conquering the land.

Before Shen Li could react, she found herself completely at a disadvantage.

She could not breathe properly, so she pushed against him lightly.

“… Lu… Lu Huaiyu…”

She called his name, but it was broken up into pieces and swallowed by him.

Lu Huaiyu held her wrist and forcefully separated her slender fingers. He interlocked his fingers with hers before locking them behind her.

Shen Li was forced to lean against the back of the sofa. Because of this action, she unconsciously arched her back and lifted her chest, as if she was being pulled into his arms.

Her other senses were especially sensitive because she could not see.

In the quiet room, only their intimate sounds could be heard.

Shen Li’s small face was flushed red. She was pressed against the sofa and could not move. She could only passively bear it.

Her line of sight was blocked, so naturally, she could not see the deep desire in his eyes that was about to break apart his rationality.

Not satisfied with this, his kiss finally landed on the side of her neck.
