Chapter 25: First Time Being Flirted With by a Woman

She murmured softly, “Little Uncle…”

“Hmm?” Pei Yan Zhou said. “You think I’m old and still call me Little Uncle?”

Jian Ruo Ci’s thoughts were pulled back. “Sorry, I saw someone else’s shadow in you. I’m sorry.”

Her expression was gloomy, and she pursed her lips.

When she looked up again, those negative emotions were gone. “Pei Yan Zhou, thank you just now.”

Su Jingxuan had ruined the mood, and she no longer felt like playing. She looked at the coffee shop not far away. “I’ll treat you to coffee.”

“To thank me?”

Jian Ruo Ci: “Hmm.”

Pei Yan Zhou lowered his eyes to look at her. “Change the way you thank me.”

“Huh?” Jian Ruo Ci asked. “Change what?”

Pei Yan Zhou smiled. “That depends on what Miss Jian can do.”

Jian Ruo Ci thought for a moment. “As long as it’s not illegal or immoral, I can do anything.”

“Then marry me.”

Jian Ruo Ci’s eyes widened as she looked at him. Was he serious?

Seeing her shocked expression, Pei Yan Zhou said, “Let’s have coffee first.”

“You can think about marrying me slowly.”

Jian Ruo Ci looked at him. He didn’t seem to be joking. “Are you serious?”

“Do I look like someone who would just say things casually?”

But why was it her?

She didn’t deny that with Pei Yan Zhou’s upbringing, charm, and appearance, she would definitely fall for him after spending a long time with him. But they had only interacted a few times. Why was it her?

With Pei Yan Zhou’s identity and status, he could have any woman he wanted. He could choose from any well-matched, well-bred lady.

She looked up at him seriously. “Why is it me?”

“Because…” Pei Yan Zhou leaned closer. “You flirted with me, stole my first kiss. You should take responsibility for me.”

This…

How did it come back to this? Jian Ruo Ci looked helpless. “Pei Yan Zhou, can’t we just forget about this?”

“It was my first time being flirted with by a woman. I can’t forget it.”

Jian Ruo Ci: “…”

Wait…

She seemed to have missed a very important point. He said he was a virgin…

A twenty-eight-year-old man was actually a virgin. If he hadn’t kissed anyone, then he probably hadn’t had a girlfriend. He was a virgin. It was kind of funny, wasn’t it?

A mischievous smile curved her lips. “Uncle Pei, have you never had a girlfriend?”

“No.”

He was really a twenty-eight-year-old virgin…

It was a little sad. “A virgin.”

“You won’t be one if you’re with me.”

Jian Ruo Ci: “…”

She couldn’t help but admire him. Why was he so persistent? Couldn’t he just forget about the kiss at the bar?

She had an idea!

Jian Ruo Ci had a flash of inspiration. “Pei Yan Zhou, can’t we just forget about the kiss?”

“Hmm.”

Good, very good, excellent!

She, Jian Ruo Ci, would be a dog if she drank again.

She looked at Pei Yan Zhou. “I’ll let you kiss me back. How about that?”

“Then we’ll forget about this. Don’t bring it up again. And don’t ask me to take responsibility!”

“Okay.” Pei Yan Zhou’s gaze fell on her delicate cheek. His eyes were meaningful, and he slowly leaned closer to her.

Jian Ruo Ci looked at the man who was getting closer and closer. She also looked at the passersby who were walking past them. She nervously swallowed. “There are too many people here. Let’s go somewhere else.”

She pulled Pei Yan Zhou’s wrist and took him to a secluded place where there were no people.

A smile appeared in Pei Yan Zhou’s eyes.

Jian Ruo Ci closed her eyes and took a deep breath, suppressing her nervousness. She opened her eyes and looked at him, looking like she was going all out.

“I’m ready! Come on.”

Pei Yan Zhou: “Don’t force yourself.”

“I’m not forcing myself, not at all.” Jian Ruo Ci said. “If you’re a man, hurry up.”

It was better than being chased and asked to take responsibility. Every time she met Pei Yan Zhou, she couldn’t avoid this topic.

She just wanted this matter to be over as soon as possible.

“If you’re not forcing yourself, then okay.” Pei Yan Zhou leaned closer to her and grabbed her shoulders.

She could feel the warmth of his palm through the fabric. Her heart was pounding, and her heart was about to jump out of her chest.

Pei Yan Zhou leaned down, getting closer and closer to her.

He was so close that she could feel his warm breath. Their eyes met. His black eyes were like a vortex, drawing her in, making her unable to escape.

As he got closer, his nose touched her nose.

At that moment, she had to admit that she was scared. She closed her eyes tightly and grabbed the clothes on either side of her body.

Pei Yan Zhou saw her trembling eyelashes and a smile appeared in his eyes. “Scared?”

Even with her eyes closed, she could hear the amusement in Pei Yan Zhou’s voice. He didn’t make any further moves.

She opened her eyes. Pei Yan Zhou’s face was right in front of her. She panicked and broke free from his grip on her shoulders. “That…”

“I’m scared…”

“Let’s talk about it next time…”

After saying that, she didn’t give Pei Yan Zhou a chance to react. She ran away in a panic.

Pei Yan Zhou watched her run away, a smile gradually spreading across his lips.

Coffee shop.

Even though it was awkward, she still had to drink the coffee to show her gratitude.

Jian Ruo Ci wanted to reduce her presence. She almost buried her head under the table.

She lowered her head and didn’t look at the person sitting opposite her.

Pei Yan Zhou: “Ostrich.”

Jian Ruo Ci: “…”

Whatever he said, she would agree. Even if he said she was a dog, she would admit it.

She kept her head down and didn’t say a word.

The waiter brought the coffee over. Pei Yan Zhou pushed the coffee towards her, but she still didn’t react.

Pei Yan Zhou: “Can’t face people?”

Jian Ruo Ci nodded, still not looking up.

“…”

After finishing her coffee, Jian Ruo Ci lowered her head and rummaged through her bag. She took out her phone and prepared to pay, but her phone was dead.

“Pei Yan Zhou, my phone is dead. I didn’t bring any cash…”

“Do you want me to pay?”

“Hmm…”

She was embarrassed. She was supposed to be thanking him for the coffee, but she ended up having him pay for it.

Pei Yan Zhou: “Look up and tell me.”

Her neck was sore from keeping her head down. She couldn’t keep doing this. She slowly raised her head and placed her phone in front of Pei Yan Zhou. “I didn’t want to skip out on paying. It’s really dead…”

“I’ll give you my contact information. Add me. I’ll pay you back later.”

“Finally willing to look up?” Pei Yan Zhou handed her his phone. “There’s no password. Add me yourself.”

Jian Ruo Ci took his phone, opened it, clicked on his WeChat, entered her WeChat ID, and sent a verification request.

Then she handed the phone back to him. “Done.”

Pei Yan Zhou paid. Three hours had passed, and they went to the place they had agreed to meet.

When they arrived at the meeting place, they waited for a while, but Xie Qingyun and Han Ji were nowhere to be seen.

Pei Yan Zhou’s phone had a message notification. He glanced at it, turned off his phone, and said, “I’ll take you back first. Something happened at Han Ji’s house.”

“Hmm.”

Pei Yan Zhou drove her to the door of the old villa.

“Mr. Pei, goodbye!” Jian Ruo Ci unbuckled her seatbelt and got out of the car.

Goodbye? She hoped she wouldn’t see him again.

Pei Yan Zhou placed a paper bag from the back seat in her hand. “I still have work. This is lunch. Take a picture after you finish eating and send it to me.”

So, he had gone to buy lunch for her in the middle of the day.

“Thank you.” Jian Ruo Ci’s tone softened a little. “Be careful on the road. Remember to eat.”
