When the kiss ended, Fu Chenxuan finally let go of Gu Qingzhu, his thumb brushing her lips, trailing a suggestive silver thread. Fu Chenxuan chuckled softly, "That's the right way to coax someone."
Gu Qingzhu's cheeks were a faint red, whether from shyness or the stifling of her breath, she couldn't tell.
Pretending to be calm, she sat back down, picked up a book, and clearly displayed a "I'm going to start reading now, you can leave" attitude, but her eyes stayed on the pages, not really absorbing the words. Gu Qingzhu had to admit she knew nothing of the content.
Fu Chenxuan did not expose her ploy, instead, he said, "I have to head back to the company for a while, I'll come over to see you again in the evening."
Gu Qingzhu nodded haphazardly, "Mhm, got it."
Fu Chenxuan raised his hand, tenderly caressed her face, and got up to leave. Gu Qingzhu looked up from her book, touched her still somewhat hot cheek, and chuckled lightly.
