Chapter 155: A Chance to Forgive Him.
"Don’t accuse me unfairly," Shen Zhiyi reacted quickly, immediately retorting, "I was clearly complimenting your figure."
Damn, how does this man not play by the rules.
"Really?" Pei Yu sighed softly, as if quite troubled by this, "But still not as good as a male model, otherwise how could I fail to capture Miss Shen’s heart? Preferring to look at male models and not willing to look at me."
"Hey," Zhiyi said, amused and annoyed, "I only looked that one time, and if you think it’s unfair, you can also—"
She caught herself mid-sentence, suddenly becoming silent, and decided to act as if she’d said nothing at all.
But Pei Yu was relentless, "I can also what?"
Zhiyi glared at him in warning, but Pei Yu seemed oblivious, and asked again, "I can also go and look—"
"Don’t you dare finish that sentence," Zhiyi quickly covered his mouth to stop him from finishing.
Pei Yu complied, remaining silent. He simply lowered his gaze, the faint light in his eyes falling on her face. After a moment, he gave a slight smile and removed her hand, "Miss Shen is quite domineering. You allow officials to start fires but deny the common people their light."
Zhiyi no longer wanted to deal with him and tried to hop off the chair, but he instead drew her into his embrace.
"You just said you’d be nice to me, and now you’re giving up halfway?"
