Li Linlin’s eyes widened in surprise and she subconsciously held her breath.

Chen Yiran’s lips looked cold and he usually didn’t say nice things, but when he kissed her, they were surprisingly soft.

It’s just that his movements weren’t very gentle and could even be said to be a bit fierce. Li Linlin felt him bite her lower lip moderately. She let out a ‘hiss’ and finally regained her senses.

After Chen Yiran bit her, he slowly let go of her lips. Li Linlin’s lipstick was almost removed by his kiss but he didn’t care at all―― Of course, it might be that he didn’t even notice.

He lifted Li Linlin’s small chin and a low laugh came from his throat. “Do you know that you have to close your eyes when kissing?”

When he said this, not only did Li Linlin not close her eyes, she even opened them wider. “K-kissing?!”

“Otherwise, what were we doing just now?” Chen Yiran said, then lowered his head slightly and pecked her lips.

“……” Li Linlin’s mind almost shut down again, especially with Chen Yiran still panting in front of her. “A-are you really incapable? You started panting after just one kiss?”

“……” Chen Yiran was silent for a moment. The hand that lifted her chin slightly tightened and his eyes become a little more dangerous. “I’m panting due to other reasons.”

Li Linlin sat stiffly in her position, not daring to speak anymore, because she clearly felt the strong aggressive aura of the man in front of her.

Although she’d been single for twenty years, she had read erotic literatures.

“Woof, woof.” Xiao Chaichai in the back seat suddenly barked twice, as if to remind the two humans in front that there was still a dog behind the car.

Chen Yiran raised his eyes and glanced at it. His fingers stroked Li Linlin’s face twice more before letting her go and sitting back properly in the driver’s seat. “This isn’t a good place.”

Li Linlin: “……”

This was such a good place!

Her reaction seemed to be delayed. It was only now that her heart started beating violently. The soft touch of Chen Yiran’s lips, and the warmth of his palms and his breath, seemed to still envelope her body even more clearly than before.

Li Linlin felt breathless and reached over to bring down the car window next to her.

Chen Yiran drove the car. He glanced at her and the corners of his mouth rose up slightly. “Hot?”

“……A little.” Li Linlin turned her head and did not look at him.

The corners of Chen Yiran’s mouth were still curled up and he seemed to be in a much better mood than earlier. “I’m also feeling a bit hot. Now do you know why I’m panting?”

Li Linlin: “……”

Does he believe that she wouldn’t tell her father?

Possibly after cooling herself in the wind, Li Linlin recovered and was able to yell at Chen Yiran again, “Chen Yiran, you rogue!”

“Rogue?” Chen Yiran looked sideways at her. “Who said I couldn’t perform?”

“……Then you do you forcefully kiss someone whenever you don’t agree with them?!”

“Of course not.” Chen Yiran looked at her. “I just want to kiss you.”

Li Linlin: “……”

She turned her head and lowered the window further.

In fact, she had fantasized about what it would be like to kiss Chen Yiran a long time ago.

Children nowadays were all precocious. In middle school, there were already several young couples in their class. Li Linlin was on duty one time. When she came back from taking out the trash, she saw two people kissing in the empty classroom.

That was the first time Li Linlin saw someone kissing. Her parents wouldn’t do it so freely in front of her. Li Linlin freaked out and was even more nervous than the other two people in the classroom. She dropped the dustpan and fled.

That night when she went back, she had a dream. In it, she was still in that classroom, only, the people kissing were replaced by her and Chen Yiran.

She still remembered the feeling of blushing and her heartbeat accelerating in her dream.

When she woke up the next day, Li Linlin was so ashamed that she had such a dream at such a young age. Xixi would definitely make fun of her if she found out!

Later, when she entered high school, more and more boys confessed to Li Linlin, including some who were handsome and had good grades, but in Li Linlin’s heart, none of them could compare to Chen Yiran.

At that time, she only wanted to take the exam and go abroad to find Chen Yiran. She had no intention of falling in love. She scolded all the boys who confessed to her. Even if they didn’t study themselves, they still want to delay her, Li Linlin’s, study? Ha, ridiculous!

It was the most exciting period of adolescence for boys and girls, but she was particularly contented. At that time, in Li Linlin’s eyes, nothing was more attractive than mathematics, physics and chemistry.

Except Chen Yiran.

She didn’t expect that the kiss she had fantasized about since middle school would suddenly happen today.

Thinking of this, Li Linlin suddenly felt a sense of grievance in her heart. She turned around and scolded Chen Yiran, “Chen Yiran, you bastard, that was my first kiss just now!”

Can’t you make it more romantic?!

Chen Yiran, who was driving, was stunned. He turned his head slightly to look at her. Li Linlin was so angry that her eyes were red and Chen Yiran felt a little flustered for a moment. “Umm…… uh, that was my first kiss too.”

Li Linlin: “……”

You’re almost thirty years old but you only have your first kiss?

The words in Li Linlin’s mind were all written on her face. Chen Yiran looked at her and his expression changed again. “Then who do you want my first kiss to be with?”

This question made Li Linlin choke. Of course she hoped…… it was with her.

She didn’t speak. Chen Yiran turned his head back and continued driving. “Don’t worry, I’ll take responsibility.”

Li Linlin: “……”

This line was so dated.

Neither of them said anything after that and only Xiao Chaichai barked twice from the back. When the car drove back to Yinwan, it was almost dark. Chen Yiran carried the cage and took the elevator to the 23rd floor with Li Linlin.

Li Linlin originally wanted to escape, but Chen Yiran lifted her and carried her back.

Li Linlin sat on Chen Yiran’s sofa while petting Xiao Chaichai. She glanced at the tall figure busying himself in the kitchen. “What exactly do you want to do?”

“Don’t you know what I want?”

Li Linlin: “……”

No, was Chen Yiran flirting with her? He was obviously not like this before! He had always been very serious and presentable in front of everyone!

Because it was already late, Chen Yiran was afraid that Li Linlin would be hungry, so he specially made a time-saving military hotpot. Li Linlin smelled the aroma and automatically sat down at the dining table.

After being asked by Chen Yiran to wash her hands, Li Linlin sat back down with chopsticks, looking like she was waiting to be fed.

Chen Yiran couldn’t help but smile when he saw her appearance. He sat down opposite Li Linlin and poured her a glass of juice. “Orange juice.”

“Do you have Sprite?” Li Linlin asked him.

Chen Yiran said, “I’ll remember to prepare it for you later.”

He said so as if Li Linlin would still dine with him in the future. Li Linlin hummed and put a piece of rice cake into her bowl. “President Chen, something’s wrong with you recently, do you know?”

“Of course I know.” Chen Yiran raised his head to look at her. “I’m clear about it better than you.”

Li Linlin ate the rice cake, licked the corner of her mouth, then looked up at him as well. “Alright then, let’s cut to the chase, what exactly do you want?”

Chen Yiran asked back, “Am I not clear enough? I want to court you.”

Li Linlin was stupefied and subconsciously repeated his words, “Court me?”

Chen Yiran nodded. He put down the chopsticks in his hand and stared at Li Linlin with a pair of dark eyes. “In that case, I’ll tell you formally that I like you, the way a man likes a woman. Do you understand?”

Li Linlin: “……”

She didn’t.

No, let her digest everything.

“Didn’t you say you’ve always regarded me as your sister?”

“……I used to regard you as a sister, but I don’t know when that feeling turned into something else.”

“……” Li Linlin pondered for a moment. “Didn’t you say you’re ten years older than me, so we aren’t suitable for each other?”

“……Ahem, nine and a half years old to be precise.” Chen Yiran coughed lightly. “It’s not much older.”

Li Linlin: “……”

How can you change your words as you please? Aren’t you the one who said it all?

“So you’re not going to marry your blind date?”

“I haven’t had blind date for a long time.” Chen Yiran reached out and held her hand that was on the table. “Linlin, I did wrong before, I shouldn’t have said those words. I haven’t sorted out my feelings at that time and didn’t want you to waste time on me—”

Before he could finish his words, Li Linlin interrupted him, “What you hope for is correct. I only want to make money now.”

Chen Yiran: “……”

Chen Yiran said, “That actually isn’t a conflict. Adults choose to have both.”

Li Linlin: “……”

As expected of President Chen.

When Chen Yiran saw that she was silent, he smiled and picked up his chopsticks again. “I’m not saying these things today to force you—”

“Then how about when you kissed me in the car?” Li Linlin suddenly looked up at him.

Chen Yiran paused, then said, “You’re the one who said I can’t perform.”

Li Linlin: “……”

It seemed President Chen really cares about that matter.

“You don’t have to answer me now, I can wait for you.” Chen Yiran said while putting a meatball in Li Linlin’s bowl. “I’ll send you home after eating.”

Li Linlin blew on the meatball in the bowl, then picked it up before looking at Chen Yiran. “It’s already late so there’s no need to make a fuss. I’ll just stay in Yinwan tonight.”

Chen Yiran rested his chin on his hands as he looked at her with a smile. “It’s fine if you want to stay in Yinwan, but you can only stay here at my place.”

“Why? It’s not like I don’t have a place here.” They were still renting the house upstairs.

Chen Yiran didn’t reason with her, but just said, “Either go home and sleep there, or sleep with me here, take your pick.”

Li Linlin’s mouth twitched. She really didn’t know that Chen Yiran was such a rogue before.

After eating the army hot pot made by Chen Yiran, Li Linlin chose to go and sleep at home. Xiao Chaichai saw that the two of them were going out and followed them to the door. Chen Yiran blocked it and lowered his head to say to it, “I’ll be right back. Stay at home obediently.”

“Woof.” Xiao Chaichai lay on its stomach and watched them leave with its tail wagging.

“I don’t think Xiao Chaichai has a good taste. It actually likes you so much.” Li Linlin couldn’t help roast as she walked into the elevator.

Chen Yiran pressed the ground floor button, looked at her, and let out a light laugh. “Oh, someone may have an even worse vision than her, liking me for so many years.”

Li Linlin immediately entered battle mode. “Who are you talking about?”

Chen Yiran said, “I don’t know who put my photo on their bedside table.”

He suddenly suspected that the reason why Uncle Li hated him so much had something to do with that matter.

As soon as Li Linlin heard him talking about a photo, she remembered the one on her bedside table. For so many years, she had kept that photo in her room like a treasure. She had no idea when Chen Yiran saw it.

She would go back and get rid of that photo tonight, ha!
