"I know why you don’t want to marry Yin Zhili," he said in a low and mellow voice that tingled through one’s heart, paralyzing like an acupoint had been hit, leaving one no choice but to watch him draw near with his captivating smile, he said, "I’ve known for a long time that you like me."

With a "boom," as if something exploded inside Jiang Li’s head. In her panic, her instinct was to deny it, "No, I don’t..."

The next moment, her lips were sealed by his.

The young man’s face was up close, Jiang Li’s eyes widened in shock, she could see even his eyelashes clearly. His lips were soft and warm, lingering between her lips and teeth. He supported her head with one hand, pulling her towards him to deepen the kiss.

No one could hold themselves back after being kissed by Jih Heng, drowning in the sensation, and Jiang Li was no exception. He was tender yet decisive, and she struggled several times before pushing him away.

She covered her lips, looking at the young man opposite her, "Jih Heng, you!"

"Angry?" he asked, "Addressing me by name directly." Jih Heng chuckled and leaned in again with a husky voice. He looked down at Jiang Li, his gaze affectionate and gentle, he said, "I know that you like me, but do you know that I like you?"
