"What are you thinking?" His calm and clear voice rang out in her ears, and his handsome eyes that were deep in their sockets outlined a graceful line that she had never seen before.
Zuo Zixian felt that if he looked at him again, he would definitely go crazy. Why was someone so close to perfection, so nice to look at from every angle?
"I'm not thinking about anything else. I'm going back, so hurry up and accompany Mika." Putting aside the confusion in her head, she turned her attention back to the road opposite, trying to find a taxi to return to the hotel.
"I told you, I'll send you off." His tone was mixed with displeasure.
Did this woman not understand what he was saying? He had already said that he would give it to her, so why was he still so stubborn?
"No need, don't embarrass Mika. She's looking forward to eating with you." Zuo Ziqian looked at him seriously and said.
It was already evening. The fiery sunset wantonly dyed the entire sky. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on her body and covered her head with a golden glow. It made her appear as beautiful as a person in an oil painting.
"I don't want to eat with her, I want to send you off, to be with you." He suddenly opened his mouth, and his pitch-black pupils shone with a strange light. It was brighter than the morning sun, and more beautiful than the sunset.
There seemed to be a surging passion flowing within his eyes. It was as though a single touch would cause the heaven and earth to shatter and the earth to shatter.
His hand touched her face, making Zuo Zixian feel as if he had been electrocuted. It was because of his words, and also because of his actions.
Her heart was violently shaken. She could not believe what she had just heard.
What was this? Confession?
Ling Yiheng could feel her body trembling, but couldn't help but continue to stroke her face. Her skin was soft and smooth, delicate and fair, with a golden sheen under the sunset that he could not let go.
"Ling Yiheng, you …" Zuo Zixian wanted to speak but hesitated, he didn't dare look straight into his eyes, he was afraid that there was something he couldn't peep into those deep eyes.
"I what?" he asked, with a faint smile and a trace of affection.
Such an abnormally gentle him made her feel at a loss, yet unable to stop her heart from beating faster.
"I'm going back. Can you let me go?" She turned her face away shyly, not knowing how to face him.
Her heart was in turmoil, and too many thoughts were mixed together. She only wanted to escape from him as soon as possible so that she could calm down.
It was as if every time he appeared, he would disrupt her peace and tranquility, causing great waves in her heart.
"I'll send you off." His voice was still calm and gentle, like a net that was going to trap her whole body and not allow her to escape his sight.
Zuo Ziqian had no choice but to compromise, "Then, just send me to the hotel's entrance."
Ling Yiheng didn't pick up her words, instead, he took her hand and walked towards his car.
Looking at the hand held by him, feeling the warmth of his large palm against his skin, Zuo Zixian's heart could not help but beat wildly.
She didn't know how the two of them could become like this. They were clearly fighting before, but why did the atmosphere suddenly become so ambiguous?
Ling Yiheng didn't open the back door, instead, he pulled her to the side of the passenger seat, opened the door and gestured her to get in.
Zuo Zixian wanted to refuse, but he gave up in the end.
He watched with satisfaction as she got in, then went around to the driver's side.
When he was seated, he leaned toward her, bent down to find her seat belt, and carefully helped her fasten it.
Looking at his serious actions, he could smell a faint smell of ocean perfume coming from his nose, causing him to unconsciously feel a sense of warmth.
It was as if she was already used to his smell, and at the same time did not reject it, she even felt a bit close to him.
The man lifted his head and met her gaze.
The multicolored light shone through the window and onto her face. It made her sparkling and translucent eyes shine, causing him to be dazzled.
Zuo Zixian was embarrassed by his gaze and subconsciously turned his head away. But he didn't allow her to dodge. He reached out and turned her face back again, looking at her deeply.
The corner of his mouth curled up into an evil smile. He lowered his head and kissed her red lips. He couldn't help but wrap his arms around her body.
Zuo Zixian's breathing gradually became hurried as he closed his eyes in embarrassment. The friction between his body and hers caused her heart to beat faster and she felt as if she was about to lose her breath.
The kiss didn't last long, as if it was a taste, and it quickly left her face.
She suddenly opened her eyes, and in that instant, she fell into his line of sight.
His eyes were pitch-black, yet they were sparkling. He had a handsome appearance that others couldn't ignore.
What was reflected in his bright eyes was the blush and bashfulness of her cheeks.
"Zuo Zixian, you like it when I kiss you." He spoke with a sharp and direct tone, and his eyes were impudent. There was a proud smile on his flawless face.
"I didn't!" She rejected him almost without thinking. Her face was flushed red as if she wanted to cover it up.
"No?" He smiled again, the perfect curve of his mouth enlarging once more. His beautiful face actually slowly approached her again, those soul-stirring eyes were filled with indescribable gentleness.
"Nope." Her heart beat faster and faster, as if she were about to leap out of her chest.
Zuo Zixian forced himself to step back so as not to have any physical contact with him.
Ling Yiheng was amused by her appearance. He still wanted to get closer to her, but the phone suddenly rang.
The two of them were stunned, but Zuo Zixian was the first to recover from his shock.
"Hurry up and answer the phone." she reminded him faintly, guessing it was Mika.
After all, he was Mika's fiancé. It was really inappropriate for him to come out and send her off like this.
Ling Yi Heng frowned. He looked at the caller ID and obviously didn't want to answer the call.
However, he had no choice but to accept it.
"Hey, Mika, what's up?" Without any hesitation, he picked up the phone in front of Zuo Zixian.
Her heart tightened when she heard him call Mika, and she subconsciously glanced in his direction out of the corner of her eye, her ears pricked up.
Actually, she shouldn't have done that, but she couldn't help but want to know what they were going to say.
She didn't know what she was afraid of, but she felt uneasy.
"Big brother Yi Heng, have you sent your son back yet? Can we have dinner now? I've already started cooking. I have your favorite dishes. " Mika's voice came sweetly from the other end of the line, full of anticipation.
Previously, she didn't know how to cook, but after learning from her mother about what Ling Yiheng liked to eat, she had silently remembered. She spent a lot of time to learn his favorite food so that she could capture his heart.
Ling Yiheng gently stroked his forehead as he frowned. After hesitating for a while, he said, "I'm sorry, Mika, I can't accompany you to eat. You can eat with your aunt. I'll treat you again next time."
"Ah?" Why? Brother Yi Heng, did something happen to you? " Mika's voice was both surprised and dejected, but she also felt that something was amiss.
Although today he was eating with her under the instructions of Aunt Ruan, she knew Ling Yiheng's character. If he agreed to her request, he wouldn't go back on his word.
Today, however, things seemed to be different. Even though Mika was simple, she could feel it.
Moreover, she could always feel that there was something between Ling Yiheng and Zuo Zixian that she didn't know about.
"Mika, let's talk about this next time we meet. Don't ask about it for now, okay?" Ling Yiheng said in a low voice, he was already prepared to reveal his cards to her.
In fact, he had been about to open a showdown with her in Boston, but she had been evading his offer, unwilling to accept the fact that he didn't want to marry her at all.
But he didn't want to drag it out any longer. The longer he dragged it out, the worse it would be for both of them.
Mika's heart sank. Of course, she knew what Ling Yiheng meant by that. In fact, he had already made it clear long ago that it was her fault for putting on an act.
But how could she give up on the relationship she had endured for three years so easily?
"Big brother Yi Heng, I won't ask you anything, okay?" If you are busy, I will not disturb you. However, you don't need to … Tell me what I don't want to hear, okay? " It took a lot of effort for Mika not to cry, but the sobs in her voice were already leaking out.
Ling Yiheng felt a headache and also felt guilty towards her.
After a moment of silence, he opened his mouth again. "Alright, you go eat with your aunt first. We'll talk next time."
With that, he hurriedly hung up the phone, afraid that if he were to continue talking to her, it would cause her to burst into tears.
He turned to look at Zuo Zixian, her face calm and unruffled. If he hadn't been able to see her for real, her silence would have made him think that she was no longer in the car.
"Let's go. Where do you live?" He was about to start the car.
Zuo Zizhen slightly frowned, at this moment his calm expression cracked, "You should go back and accompany Mika."
Her voice was light, but her tone was heavy.
"You want me to go with her?" He turned his head to ask, his black eyes showing a trace of anger.
"Not that I hope. She's your fiancée." She reminded him quietly, and he almost went crazy.
"That is a problem between her and me. I will solve it, so you don't need to teach me." Annoyed, he started the car and headed across the street.
"If you don't tell me where you live, I don't mind driving to my house."
His words caused a reaction from Zuo Zixian, and after a moment of shock, he immediately reported his hotel name.
Ling Yiheng didn't actually drive the car back to his home, but just didn't want to discuss the issue of Mika with her.
The hotel she was in was not far from the center of the city, but there were several traffic lights on the road, causing the car to slow down.
