Chapter 360: Qin Hanyu: "Can’t kiss the ear", Qiao Ying: "No"

Chapter 360

Qin Hanyue was rendered speechless for a moment by Qiao Ying's words before he said, "In my heart, you are not a shallow person."

Qiao Ying stated bluntly, "That is the fact."

She then glanced over Qin Hanyue's face twice.

"Thank your lucky stars that if not for this face of yours, I would not have lived under the same roof with you back at Shen Wu," Qiao Ying justified her fondness of good looks in a matter-of-fact tone.

Qin Hanyue smiled wryly, "Then I ought to thank my parents' genes."

Qiao Ying said, "You should."

Qin Hanyue then asked, "What if we really met someone more good-looking than me? Hmm?" He stared at her closely, not missing any reaction from her.

Qiao Ying did not even look at him, "I already told you just now."

Qin Hanyue secretly took a deep breath to compose himself, comforting himself that he had honed his skills to perfection, "Although it wasn't the truth, but still..."

Not the truth?

Seeing him, Qiao Ying really felt like laughing. This old man is truly adept at saving his own face.

Qiao Ying suppressed her urge to laugh, "How do you know it wasn't the truth?" She slowly sipped her soup.

Qin Hanyue said, "With your taste, how could you not have met your ideal man, and if it was only based on looks, you would have had at least eight relationships."

"Amongst all the exceptional men you've met, you eventually picked me. Doesn't it speak volumes?"

Qiao Ying gave a soft snort and shook her head slightly in disagreement. Nnêw n0vel chapters are published at novelhall.com

Hearing her snort and seeing that show of contempt, Qin Hanyue found her reaction really adorable. He reached out to touch her face.

Qiao Ying who was drinking soup turned her face away slightly but failed to evade him completely. The pad of his thumb brushed lightly against her fair cheek.

There was a captivating warmth in Qin Hanyue's eyes. Just as he wanted to say something more, an itch in his throat made him turn away to cough twice.

Qiao Ying asked, "You're not recovered from your cold?"

Qin Hanyue replied, "There are a lot of paperwork accumulated at the company recently and I've been busy for the past few days, neglecting my health a little. Don't worry, it's not serious."

The company had a lot of work piled up. After Ye Si left, Qin Hanyue did not even have time to look for Qiao Ying until today when he finally freed up some time.

Finishing her soup, Qiao Ying teased, "No wonder you're so well-behaved." Not only was he sitting quite a distance from her, his mouth had been tame as well.

Qin Hanyue wanted to argue for himself but realized he had no need to. This way he would have a legitimate reason to be ill-mannered, right?

He smiled. As he got up to pour another bowl of soup for her, he said, "Have some more."

Qiao Ying said, "I'm full. You drink it. I'll give you acupuncture."

Qin Hanyue said, "Alright."

Qin Hanyue "......"

Too heartless!

How could Qin Hanyue possibly quell his yearning? The moment he stood up, he went over to sit next to Qiao Ying, encircling her slender frame in his embrace as he rested his chin on her bony shoulder. His voice was gentle, "Hugs are still okay if not kisses."

He tightened his arms, lowered his head slightly to sniff her scent.

With his cheek against hers, he nuzzled her ear, then her earlobe came into his view.

Fair and exquisite.

His Adam's apple moved silently.

Qin Hanyue found his mouth rather dry.

The moment he raised his chin to turn towards her ear, Qiao Ying noticed his movement but did not know what his intention was, so she just ignored him.

His hot puffs drew near her ear right before she realized what he was about to do. Then his lips planted themselves onto her earlobe.

The corners of his lips lifted into a smile, like a sly fox that succeeded in stealing a kiss. His lips left her earlobe, then the tip of his nose affectionately nuzzled it as his chin settled back onto her shoulder near her neck, his tall nose bridge sticking to her ear now.

"This won't spread the virus," he murmured.

His lips were dangerously close to her neck while his breaths blew against her skin. Just then Qiao Ying's fine brows slightly creased while her neck jerked a little as if wanting to jerk aside but Qin Hanyue had her locked in a tight embrace.

Irritation flashed across her eyes. "Qin Hanyue!"

Hearing her sudden change of tone to impatience, Qin Hanyue asked with care, "Can't kiss your ear?"

Yet Qiao Ying said, "That's not it."

Her tone was still rather curt.

Next, she pushed him aside decisively.

Qin Hanyue looked confused, "What's wrong?"

Qiao Ying raised her hand to touch her neck. Her previously fair earlobe had turned slightly red. "It's nothing," she said, her tone reverting to normal.

Seeing his bewildered look, unaware what was happening.

Qiao Ying then explained, "It felt ticklish."

"Ticklish?" A hint of curiosity and probing flashed across Qin Hanyue's eyes as he glanced at her neck.

Sensing his gaze, Qiao Ying stared at him, "What are you looking at?"

The gleam in Qin Hanyue's eyes turned ambiguous, yet he just smilingly said, "Didn't look at anything."

Seeing his smile, Qiao Ying chased him out, "Shameless, scram!"
