The next morning, Li Hengzhi woke up from his slumber.

The minute he opened his eyes, he saw Qian Tao in his arms and he was in a daze.

He was not used to a life where he would see a woman the minute he opened his eyes in the morning.

It looked like she was sound asleep.

The thunderstorm did not stop in the second half of the night. So, Qian Tao hid in his arms, trembling, and he couldn’t help but hug her tightly.

Last night, her dependence on him was obvious.

As Li Hengzhi got up to get dressed, his vision kept falling on Qian Tao, who was fast asleep.

She was only eighteen.

Li Hengzhi narrowed his eyes.

He shouldn’t have been soft-hearted and made that promise. It was indeed training his willpower!

A while after he left the room, Qian Tao opened her eyes.

She had actually awoken long ago. Last night, she was tired, but yet she couldn’t fall asleep. The rumbling sound of thunder had brought about poor sleep quality.

When she woke up this morning, she dared not move. She had pretended to sleep and waited for Li Hengzhi to wake up first.

It was only a few hours from what had happened last night, so last night’s incident was still vivid in her mind. When she closed her eyes, the scene of last night would appear.

Qian Tao sat on the bed and shook her head. She smacked her head repeatedly and muttered, ‘Pull yourself together, Qian Tao, pull yourself together!’

***

“Come out for breakfast when you are done smacking your head.” Li Hengzhi said flatly, but he had a curl at the corner of his lips.

Qian Tao suddenly stopped what she was doing and covered her face with both her hands.

Why did she feel embarrassed?

If possible, Qian Tao didn’t want to walk out of the room!

Li Hengzhi was taking his breakfast when she walked to the table and sat down. With her head down, she greeted Li Hengzhi in a voice as soft as a mosquito, “Good morning…”

He raised his head and cracked up when he saw her looking like a young wife.

‘Weren’t you aggressive the day I discovered your plot? Finally know that you’re afraid?’

“If you are feeling awkward for what happened last night, you don’t have to. Every legally married couple is allowed to do that.”

“I’m not listening…” Qian Tao was extremely awkward. She covered her ears with her hands and kept shaking her head. “I’m only eighteen! Don’t tell me these!”

Li Hengzhi puffed, “You now know that you’re eighteen? When you stole my…why didn’t you reflect that you were only eighteen? Getting involved in a deal at the age of eighteen? I should ask your headmaster what they teach in school!”

Qian Tao raised her head in front of the big boss and smiled dryly, “You won’t tell tales, will you?”

How could she not know that Rong Yao Private High School was under Rong Yao Group and the man in front of her was the big boss of Rong Yao Group? If he were to stamp his feet, Rong Yao High School would turn upside-down!
