Chapter 21: Turning the Tables

“Can I take a look?”

Shen Jichuan thought carefully and shook his head.

He saw the light in the girl’s eyes instantly dim.

He suddenly felt a little sorry and asked back, “Don’t you have class?”

Xia Keqing did have class in the afternoon, but it was after three o’clock.

After class, she would go straight to dinner.

Shen Jichuan said again, “I’ll find you then.”

Xia Keqing was immediately happy again, “Really?”

Shen Jichuan curled his lips, “Comrade Xia Keqing, we’re going to spend our lives together. I won’t lie to you unless absolutely necessary.”

When he said this, Shen Jichuan’s voice and expression were very serious.

But Xia Keqing was a transmigrator, she laughed when she heard this.

“Brother Shen, you’re clearly being a scoundrel!”

Shen Jichuan frowned, unable to understand why the girl would say that.

He was clearly explaining it to her seriously, how did it become being a scoundrel? His expression immediately turned serious. “Comrade Xia Keqing, I apologize if I offended you.”

Xia Keqing was stunned. She suddenly realized that being a scoundrel in this era was a serious crime, not something you could joke about like in the future.

She immediately apologized in a soft voice.

“Shen Jichuan, don’t be nervous, that’s not what I meant.”

“We’re engaged, we’re going to get married, our relationship is the closest after our parents. So maybe I’m not as careful with my words in front of you.”

“It’s just that I think your previous sentence was a bit redundant.”

“You said you wouldn’t lie to me unless absolutely necessary.”

“That ‘absolutely necessary’ is based on your own definition. If you think some things are necessary, but I don’t know, then isn’t it just a redundant statement to me?”

Fortunately, Shen Jichuan was the male lead, favored by the creator. He was given a tall and handsome figure, a beautiful face, and also power and intelligence.

Otherwise, Xia Keqing’s roundabout explanation might not have been understood by him.

He couldn’t help but laugh, but his tone became even more serious, “You know, my work, some things need to be kept confidential, that’s my necessity.”

Xia Keqing nodded, that was understandable.

As a cadre, he was meant to do great things, how could he stay at home with her all day and be sentimental? Some things really couldn’t be said casually.

This man who would eventually reach great heights, how could he be someone who gossips and talks too much?

No, she was also going to work, she didn’t have time to be sentimental with him, alright?

Please don’t be so blindly confident!

She felt that this male lead was quite ambitious, and he was very serious when he spoke.

But she couldn’t make a fuss with him because of these things.

“You misunderstood.”

Shen Jichuan frowned.

Xia Keqing said with a smile, “Of course I was talking about things in life.”

Her eyes were clear, her lips curved into a smile, “Things at work, naturally, you don’t have to tell me everything. I have my own career too, I definitely wouldn’t tell you everything about my work.”

Speaking of which, her expression became a little sly, “I definitely have things I don’t want to tell you.”

Looking at her like this, like a cunning little fox, Shen Jichuan couldn’t help but laugh, “What can’t you tell me?”

Xia Keqing immediately widened her eyes, “Since it’s something I can’t tell you, I definitely won’t tell you.”

The two of them looked very affectionate, chatting and laughing all the way to the hotel. When they arrived at Shen Jichuan’s room, Xia Keqing realized.

“Hey? I actually came in?”

Shen Jichuan was also stunned, then his eyes deepened.

But he also knew that although they were engaged, they weren’t married yet. Some things were not urgent.

Before this, Shen Jichuan had never thought that he would one day look forward to that kind of thing.

Things between husband and wife were natural and inevitable, what was there to think about?

The little girl in front of him looked helpless and pitiful.

As her fiancé, he should have firmly protected her, become her strong arm, her support.

What was he thinking?

He actually wanted to carry her into the room, throw her on the bed and bully her.

Ugh, to think he was such a bad person!

Shen Jichuan was questioning his own humanity.

He silently raised his head, took a deep breath, suppressing the inappropriate thoughts in his mind, but his voice inevitably became a little hoarse.

“Do you want to come in and sit down?”

Although he really wanted to, Shen Jichuan knew that he absolutely couldn’t, and wouldn’t, do anything inappropriate to Xia Xia.

Even if they were engaged, doing so would be disrespectful to her.

But his body was very honest.

In a closed space, with the girl he liked, even if he couldn’t really do anything, hugging her, kissing her, wouldn’t be a problem, right?

She was his fiancée, not some unimportant person?

But thinking about the girl’s personality, Shen Jichuan frowned again.

She was considerate, observant, and because of that Xu Li’s outrageous words, she suspected her college entrance exam results were fake and hoped he would help investigate.

It showed that she was a person with a strong sense of justice and a hatred for evil.

If she knew what he was thinking right now, would she think he was a bad person?

Xia Keqing wasn’t thinking that much, but she did feel that Shen Jichuan’s gaze was off.

This man was still blocking her at the door.

His figure was tall, almost completely enveloping her.

He was like a solid wall, directly blocking her outside the door. Even if she wanted to leave, she couldn’t easily do so.

Xia Keqing:?

She belatedly realized that this male lead seemed to want to cause trouble?

But weren’t people in this era very conservative?

Not only conservative, but most of them were not very perceptive. Even between husband and wife, they were mostly respectful and distant, without much passionate love.

Huh?

What did he want to do?

He was even reaching out to touch her face?

Xia Keqing was a stubborn one.

At critical moments, she always unleashed her primal power.

She turned the tables and decided to take the initiative to climb onto Shen Jichuan’s neck.

But… Shen Jichuan was too tall.

She was too petite, she had to wave to Shen Jichuan, and Shen Jichuan was stunned.

He didn’t know what this little girl was up to.

But her face was flushed, her eyes seemed to be filled with autumn water, and the fire in his lower abdomen instantly flared up. But he had only heard about it, he hadn’t actually experienced it.

So he immediately became a puppet in Xia Keqing’s hands, doing whatever she said.

Her white and delicate hand beckoned him, was that a sign for him to lower his head?

He slowly bent down, lowering his neck.

Like a well-behaved big dog, incredibly handsome!

Xia Keqing’s eyes brightened even more. Her white and slender arms instantly wrapped around the man’s neck. With a light leap, she hung onto the man.

Her legs naturally wrapped around the man’s narrow and powerful waist.

Shen Jichuan was shocked.

He quickly supported her waist, opened the door with his other hand, and carried his little girl into the room…
