Chapter 52: First Kiss

Tian Tian slammed her hand on the table, “This is important!”

Her action and voice were loud enough to attract attention from other diners in the restaurant.

Tian Tian gave a sheepish smile and quickly lowered her voice, saying with a tone of exasperation, “You’re with such a handsome man and you’re not moved? Do you have incredible willpower or is there something wrong with you?”

Qiao Lan was completely embarrassed by Tian Tian’s bold words.

They weren’t close enough to be discussing personal matters, were they?

Qiao Lan said firmly, “We had a flash marriage, there’s no emotional foundation, we need to get to know each other for a while.”

Tian Tian coaxed, “You need real-life experience to form a theory.”

Qiao Lan raised an eyebrow, “What if we don’t mesh well, and the marriage breaks down? Wouldn’t that be a double loss?”

Tian Tian blinked, “He’s so handsome, you’re not losing out either.”

She even felt that Qiao Lan was taking advantage of him.

Tian Tian’s thoughts were written on her face, and Qiao Lan felt hurt.

Tian Tian patted Qiao Lan’s shoulder, “CEO Qiao, life is short, seize the day. Such a handsome man, don’t seek forever, just cherish the moment.”

Seeing Tian Tian speak with such conviction, Qiao Lan actually found her words to be reasonable.

She realized this and quickly shook her head, asking with a wry smile, “Where did you learn this theory from?”

Tian Tian crossed her long legs, her face filled with a seasoned, world-weary expression, “Personal experience.”

Qiao Lan’s eyes twitched violently.

So this woman in front of her was a heartbreaker.

Tian Tian put her arm around Qiao Lan’s shoulder, acting like sisters, “Qiao Lan, I think we hit it off, that’s why I’m telling you all this. Think it over carefully, don’t regret it after you lose him.”

She paused and then lowered her voice, “When your husband left, I observed him, his two long legs were straight and strong, definitely a long-lasting type.”

Seeing Tian Tian becoming more excited and explicit with her words, Qiao Lan hurriedly interrupted her, “Let’s change the topic.”

She was afraid that if Tian Tian continued, she would have a nosebleed.

Tian Tian looked at Qiao Lan’s face, red like a ripe peach, as if she had discovered a new world, “Qiao Lan, you’re so innocent?”

She thought that a strong woman like Qiao Lan would have seen many men, but she didn’t expect her to be a love novice.

This was amazing, truly amazing!

Qiao Lan turned her face away, unwilling to admit it, “No, I’m not.”

The blush on her face spread to her neck.

Tian Tian shook her head with a tsk, “Chu Zhiheng gave you up and chose Qiao Yue, that tramp, he’ll definitely regret it.”

Not to mention ability, even in terms of feelings, Qiao Yue and Qiao Lan were incomparable.

Qiao Lan frowned, “Don’t mention him, it’s bad luck!”

As they were talking, Mo Qian came back with drinks.

Qiao Lan, not sure if she was influenced by Tian Tian, subconsciously placed her gaze on the man’s long legs.

He was wearing loose pants, but when he lifted his foot, the pants clung to his thighs, revealing the clear muscle lines, strong and powerful…

It wasn’t until the man stood in front of her that Qiao Lan dazedly retracted her gaze.

She realized what she was looking at and immediately blushed, glaring at Tian Tian angrily.

It was all her fault.

If she hadn’t said those things, she wouldn’t be so affected.

Tian Tian received Qiao Lan’s gaze and smiled brightly, “I have a friend I need to meet, I won’t be a third wheel here.”

Before leaving, she didn’t forget to wink at Qiao Lan, “Wish you a wonderful evening.”

She left after saying that.

Qiao Lan wanted to rush over and beat her up.

This girl had to add to her troubles before leaving.

Mo Qian looked at Qiao Lan’s rosy cheeks and asked with concern, “Did she make you angry?”

But Qiao Lan didn’t seem angry.

Her eyes were glazed, a little like she was shy.

And Tian Tian’s words were packed with information.

“Yeah, she made me angry.”

Qiao Lan didn’t want to say more. The longer she stayed indoors, the hotter she felt. She picked up the drink Mo Qian bought and gulped down a large portion.

Even after drinking, she couldn’t cool down. She suppressed the urge to unbutton her collar, “I’m full, let’s go outside to digest.”

Mo Qian took the remaining snacks from the table and fed them to the stray cats at the restaurant entrance before quickly catching up with Qiao Lan.

Qiao Lan walked ahead, Mo Qian followed behind.

There were many people at the night market, but she could only hear Mo Qian’s steady footsteps.

She didn’t know when it started, but she had actually memorized the man’s footsteps.

Qiao Lan’s mind was in chaos. She cursed Tian Tian ten thousand times in her heart, blaming her for stirring up her thoughts.

Qiao Lan walked while lost in thought. When she realized she was looking for Mo Qian, she found that the man was gone.

She looked around but couldn’t see him. A sudden sense of anxiety filled her heart. She took out her phone to call Mo Qian, but her shoulder was suddenly patted.

Qiao Lan turned her head sharply, and Mo Qian’s handsome face appeared in front of her.

Thinking about her previous anxiety, the heat in her chest made her lose control of her temper, “Where did you go?”

Mo Qian raised the bouquet in his hand and explained innocently, “I saw these flowers and thought they were beautiful, I wanted to buy them for you, so I told you.”

Qiao Lan wasn’t listening. She was lost in her thoughts and walked forward without thinking.

She looked at the bouquet of hydrangeas in the man’s hand, she liked them very much, but she felt guilty at the same time, “I’m sorry.”

She shouldn’t have yelled at Mo Qian.

Mo Qian smiled warmly, “It’s okay, it’s my fault, I should have held your hand.”

As he spoke, he took Qiao Lan’s hand and walked towards the parking lot.

Qiao Lan was held by the man, looking down at the bouquet in her hand, her emotions were very complex.

Back home, Qiao Lan changed into her slippers and was about to walk to her room.

As she took a step, her wrist was suddenly grabbed by the man. With a tug, her body was pulled uncontrollably into the man’s strong and warm embrace.

Her nose hurt from the impact, she accused with red eyes, “You hurt me.”

“I’m sorry.”

Mo Qian looked at Qiao Lan’s pitiful little face, his brows furrowed, he could no longer control his emotions and leaned down and kissed her.

The man’s cool lips landed on her lips, Qiao Lan widened her eyes in shock, her mind went blank.

Mo Qian smiled and said in a deep voice, “Close your eyes.”

Qiao Lan had no ability to think, she obediently closed her eyes when she heard this.

“Good girl.”

She heard the man’s smiling voice above her head. That low and magnetic voice was like an electric current running through her body, her shoulders instinctively curled up, the goosebumps on her arms made her tremble.

Then, a forceful and domineering kiss fell upon her like a tidal wave.

Qiao Lan instinctively wanted to dodge, but the man’s strong arms held her tightly, she couldn’t move, and was forced to endure the man’s kiss.
