Bao Ziqi was taken aback.
He had never thought of holding her in his embrace.
His expression saddened Xia Minglan.
But she was willing to be a bit more proactive.
She leaned in to kiss him, whispering low, "I heard you met Su Qionglin today, you rejected her! Ziqi, I'm so happy."
Her hands began to undo the buttons of his shirt, wanting to become truly husband and wife.
Bao Ziqi caught her hands.
He rejected her.
Xia Minglan felt both embarrassed and humiliated.
Trembling, she straightened her clothes, and questioned him, "Bao Ziqi, are you trying to become a monk for Su Ruanruan's sake?"
Bao Ziqi squinted at her.
He said, "I suggest you calm down a bit."
