Chapter 9: After Modification - 9 I Like You, So I Want to Marry You!
Ji Niandong quickly broke free from Lu Beichen's grasp as they walked away, her hurried footsteps echoing in the empty corridor.
Lu Beichen slid one hand into his pocket, smiling leisurely, "You seem to be quite afraid of me?"
His eyes appeared to see through people's hearts, and Ji Niandong avoided his gaze, looking elsewhere, explaining somewhat reluctantly, "I hardly know President Lu, you're so eager to help me, I'm not quite used to it!"
Her voice was low and gentle, unsure where her gaze should settle, still like a little stray cat that hadn't grown up!
Lu Beichen's gaze carried a hint of teasing, and as he walked toward her, she instinctively stepped back, suddenly pinned against the corridor wall, encircled by his stretched arm, unable to move.
The man's face was clearly just centimeters in front of her, Ji Niandong clutched tightly at the hem of her skirt, not knowing whether it was fear or nervousness, pursing her lips and turning her face away, unable to speak.
"Your heartbeat is quite fast now. If it's not fear of me, should I assume you like me?" His tone carried a touch of playful amusement.
"How could that be?" Ji Niandong attempted to push him away, only to be pressed back into his embrace; facing this man, she had no leverage whatsoever, nor did she dare to harbor any thoughts of resistance.
In the past, women either passionately clung to him, pretended to be coy and reserved, or were simply infatuated, seldom was there a woman who dared not even glance at him.
