Chapter 208 The Sweetest Candy
"..." She really wanted to bite him, didn’t she? So annoying!
He looked at her pouting lips and couldn’t help but reach out to pinch them, shaping them into a flat little duck’s bill, "Angry?"
She slapped his hand away and turned her head to ignore him.
He leaned over and gently kissed her cheek, "All right then, I’ll do as you say, everything as you say. The male lead wins over the female lead, requesting a kiss from the heroine..."
She pursed her lips, her eyes already curving into a smile, but she heard him continue, "I’ve stopped thinking about it, I’ll listen to you, let’s live together!"
What? She turned back, swung a punch at him, which he caught accurately, then lowered his head to kiss her fist, "Is that okay now?"
"What do you mean okay?" she snorted.
"I kissed you twice!"
"..." She really felt like hitting him again! As if she was so eager for his kiss! Yet, she couldn’t help but chuckle.
"Okay, let’s go home." He started the car, driving out of the parking lot.
She sat beside him, but his gentle baritone from earlier kept echoing in her ears, those simple words "All right, let’s go home," repeated in her mind, becoming richer in meaning, painting a scene before her eyes: her childhood home, Dad working at his desk, Mom holding her on the couch, either telling her stories or letting her play while knitting a sweater. Then, the scene shifted to a hotel in Jin County, where he was typing at the desk and she sat on the bed hugging a pillow, staring at his upright back in a daze.
