Chapter 1009: Chapter 1009: Cunning Man

Jiangli reacted and wanted to lift her hand.

But Fu Shiyan seemed to know her reaction in advance, holding down her palm, with a vague and light laugh that reached Jiangli’s ears simultaneously.

“Don’t be nervous—”

Jiangli inexplicably froze, the voice like a current flowing through her eardrums, invading her heart and brain.

In a daze, a blurry figure reappeared before Jiangli’s eyes.

She was completely stunned.

Fu Shiyan, however, took advantage and pressed further.

After an unknown period, Fu Shiyan finally let her go.

Jiangli felt that if Fu Shiyan hadn’t let go, she might have suffocated.

Being the first person in history to suffocate from a kiss would certainly be a record.

Fu Shiyan released her slightly, and Jiangli greedily took rapid breaths.

Seeing her eyes and lips, all red, Fu Shiyan raised his hand, touched the corner of her lips with his thumb, and said, “This is the benefit I wanted.”

Jiangli stared blankly into his eyes, suddenly wanting to disrupt the atmosphere by asking where President Fu went for training!

As she was thinking this, Fu Shiyan gently touched her hair, “Sorry.”

Kissed her, and then suddenly apologized…

What kind of move is this?

Jiangli slightly pressed her lips together, feeling a bit of pain on them.

She frowned slightly and said, “Why apologize…”

Fu Shiyan raised an eyebrow, seemingly confused by her words.

Jiangli’s expression showed a fleeting discomfort, but soon she became frank, “Isn’t it a fleeting encounter, we’re all adults, it doesn’t matter.”

Fu Shiyan, seeing her acting nonchalant, chuckled and tousled her hair end, “Want to eat?”

As if only now remembering the real reason for their meeting.

Seeing that he wasn’t concerned about the longevity of things, Jiangli relaxed, wiped the corner of her lip, and sat up straight, “Go ahead, why not go, I’m starving, you’re going to spend big today.”

Fu Shiyan smiled, “Alright.”

The two set off again, with great tacit understanding, tacitly agreeing not to mention the previous topic, as if they were truly a pair enjoying the moment.

However, that kiss unknowingly brought them closer.

As Jiangli and Fu Shiyan looked at each other, their relationship became more intimate, with Fu Shiyan occasionally doing things typical of a couple, like holding Jiangli’s hand or tidying stray hair for her.

Few actions, but warm and intimate.

After getting out of the car, however, President Fu seemed to return to being the well-mannered President Fu, so Jiangli couldn’t muster any negative feelings towards him.

The two had quite a pleasant evening together.

When they returned, it was already past ten at night.

The kiss kept Jiangli awake all night, and she didn’t fall asleep by Fu Shiyan’s side this time.

Fu Shiyan sent her to the entrance of the Taoist Temple, and Jiangli quickly got out of the car. Before he could get out, she waved him off, “Fu Shiyan, I’m heading back first, you get some rest early, good night.”

After speaking, Jiangli swiftly dashed away, as if only now realizing what it meant to be shy.

Watching her nimbly slip into Jiaoyang Temple, Fu Shiyan curved his lips into a smile, but the smile on his face quickly faded, replaced by thoughts of what Jiangli had said earlier in the car.

Can’t last long—

Jiangli dashed into Jiaoyang Temple like a thief, finally exhaling after avoiding Fu Shiyan’s burning gaze, patting her chest as she walked toward the side hall.

The side hall was still lit, clearly, someone had been waiting for her to return, leaving a lamp on purpose.
