221 A Friendly Reminder
Le Wan couldn’t help but swallow her saliva. “Well… Do you feel very uncomfortable?”
“To be honest, I’m starting to regret coming to see you tonight.” Zhai Jing sighed and shook his head.
Le Wan frowned and was about to ask him what he meant when she heard Zhai Jing say with a bitter smile,
“How am I supposed to sleep tonight if you keep acting like this?”
He had underestimated Le Wan’s influence on him, and he had overestimated his self-control.
He was afraid that tonight, or many more nights in the future, he would dream of Le Wan’s innocent yet charming appearance.
Le Wan understood what he meant and looked at him working so hard. She bit her lower lip and asked hesitantly,
“You… Do you need my help?”
Zhai Jing did not deny that he was tempted for a moment, but he still shook his head. They were outdoors and he couldn’t let Le Wan do these things for him.
If he hadn’t been unable to control his emotions just now and couldn’t help hugging and kissing her, the two of them would have been a little too close.
After all, this was Le Wan’s residence. There might be people who knew her in the surroundings. If someone saw her and spread the news, Le Wan would be embarrassed.
After thinking it through, Zhai Jing let go of her unwillingly. He walked to the side quietly and adjusted his breathing.
“Give me a little more time. I’ll be able to calm down very soon.”
“Alright,” he said. Le Wan spread her hands, but she felt warm in her heart for Zhai Jing’s respect for her.
Thus, one of them faced the lake and tried to calm the surging emotions in his body. The other opened the bag of cakes and ate them with great pleasure. As she ate, she sighed.
“I’ve already brushed my teeth, but you brought cakes to seduce me again.”
If Mama le knew about this, she would nag at her for eating too many desserts. After that, she picked up another large piece of cake and stuffed it into her mouth.
Zhai Jing, who had calmed down a lot, turned around and saw her gluttonous look. He couldn’t help chuckling.
“I tasted it just now. It has a faint strawberry minty taste.”
“It smells good, doesn’t it?” Le Wan shook her head proudly. “I chose the toothpaste on my own.”
Zhai Jing, who didn’t really like the sweet taste, nodded.
“Yes, it smells really good.” The good smell made him dizzy, and he wanted to taste it again anytime and anywhere.
It was late, so the two of them chatted for a while and parted ways after Le Wan finished the cake.
Zhai Jing wrapped the cake in paper and threw it into the trash can. Then, he held Le Wan’s hand.
“Let’s go. I’ll walk you back.”
“We didn’t even have time to say two words.” Le Wan was a little upset.
Zhai Jing was also very reluctant.
“We’ll have time soon. Where do you want to go then?”
“I’m fine with it.” Le Wan thought for a moment and said sweetly, “I can go anywhere as long as I’m with you.”
Zhai Jing knew that her little mouth was the best at coaxing people, but he still felt very happy when he heard these words.
He couldn’t help but ask her,
“Can we really go anywhere? Aren’t you afraid that I’ll sell you out?”
Le Wan pretended to be troubled and frowned.
“Although there are some places I don’t really want to go…” Then, she looked up at Zhai Jing and said,
“But I think as long as it’s a place you like, I’ll definitely be willing to go. As for whether or not you’ll sell me, I think someone else might want to buy you more than me.”
Zhai Jing laughed.
“You are a little fox.” He wasn’t willing to suffer any losses.
After Zhai Jing left, Le Wan took the flowers and opened the door to enter the house quietly. She was about to go upstairs.
“You’re back so early?” Papa Le’s voice suddenly came from the living room.
Le Wan was startled. She then realized that her father was sitting on the sofa in his pajamas, flipping through the newspaper.
“Dad, it’s almost 11 O ‘clock. What are you doing here?” Le Wan hurriedly hid the flower in her hand behind her.
“Alright, stop hiding. I saw everything.”
Papa Le put the newspaper away and slammed it on the table. He stood up and laughed when he saw the nervous look on Le Wan’s face.
“I’m not going to scold you, why are you so nervous?”
Just as Le Wan heaved a sigh of relief, she heard Papa le say,
“I’m sitting here to remind you that I’m not that old yet. I don’t think I’ll be a grandfather so soon, so remember to take protective measures.”
Le Wan held back her anger.
“Cough, cough, cough!”
