When Ye Lan was surrounded from behind, his whole body froze, his heartbeat accelerating uncontrollably. He could only barely maintain his composure and said, “Who are you? There are surveillance cameras here. I advise you to let me go, or you’ll regret it!”

Tsk, the way he tries to scare people, so cute.

But when he’s chatting with someone else, he doesn’t look as cute.

Xu Qi gradually reached up to Ye Lan’s shoulder, finally hanging on his neck. “Hey, we just meet, and now you’re pretending not to know me?”

Is it her?

Hearing Xu Qi’s voice, Ye Lan’s body somehow relaxed suddenly.

He wasn’t nervous anymore; instead, he sounded a bit gentle. “Miss Xu, what are you doing here?”

“My home is here.”

As Xu Qi spoke, she leaned closer to Ye Lan until, under the dim moonlight outside, Ye Lan could see her face clearly.

The woman opposite him wore a provocative smile, looking quite fierce.

Drawing this conclusion, Ye Lan leaned back a bit and lowered his head, exposing his vulnerable neck. “Then Miss Xu should go home. Why are you stopping me here?”

“I like you.”

At this moment, Xu Qi seemed like a rascal, staring straight at Ye Lan, who couldn’t even meet her gaze, his tall figure tense as he shrunk his shoulders nervously.

“You, Miss Xu, please behave yourself!”

He had never heard such a direct confession before and couldn’t help but become stern. But Xu Qi could clearly see that he was so embarrassed he wanted to shrink into a ball, yet he still had to say such cutting words.

“Humph, you think you’re great, and you can behave as you like, but I can’t?”

Xu Qi leaned closer to his neck and lightly bit him.

Ye Lan’s heart beat faster, as if it were about to burst out of his chest.

“I… I didn’t do anything inappropriate.”

He retorted somewhat defiantly, leaning forward a bit, unwittingly immersing himself further into the arms of the wolf.

With the opening, Xu Qi’s hand slid up his back, holding him tightly in her arms, rendering him unable to move, leaving only his head free to move.

“You say you didn’t do anything inappropriate? Then why did you hold that Miss Lin’s hand for so long? Reluctant to let her go?”

Xu Qi naturally claimed Ye Lan as her possession, her words harsh and domineering, almost demanding that Ye Lan refrain from any physical contact with others.

Ye Lan frowned, instinctively explaining, “That was Miss Lin holding my hand, I…”

“She wanted to hold your hand, so you let her? Indeed, men need to be kept in check. Don’t you agree?”

Xu Qi patted his well-defined buttocks.

Ye Lan stiffened all over, blushing in the darkness, unable to move, “Miss Xu, you’re my brother’s…”

He seemed unable to say those words, stuttering.

“You mean, fiancée?”

Xu Qi said the three words for him, causing a sudden pang in Ye Lan’s heart. Scenes of Xu Qi and Ye Sheng together flashed in his mind, the pain intensifying suddenly. He almost couldn’t bear it and nearly fell to his knees, but fortunately, Xu Qi caught him in time.

“What’s wrong with you?”

Xu Qi supported his body, somewhat flustered. Why did he suddenly become so unsteady? Did she scare him?

“Medicine… medicine…”

Ye Lan trembled as he reached for the pocket of his suit, his whole body convulsing. Xu Qi immediately took out a bottle of medicine from inside, roughly glanced at it, and fed one to Ye Lan.

After taking the medicine, Ye Lan finally calmed down, collapsing into Xu Qi’s arms, gasping for breath.

“What’s wrong with you? Are you unwell?”

Holding onto him, Xu Qi couldn’t help feeling a bit anxious.

Wanting to reply when he heard her voice, Ye Lan moved his head, only to realize how immodest his current posture was. He was lying in her arms! He hurriedly tried to get up, but Xu Qi pressed him back down.

Xu Qi lifted him up.

It was a bit difficult, after all, this wasn’t a matriarchal society, and Ye Lan wasn’t the emaciated Ye Lan from there.

“Where do you live? I’ll take you back.”

Xu Qi said softly, lowering her head.

Afraid of falling, Ye Lan anxiously hooked his hand around Xu Qi’s neck.

“No, you don’t need to take me back! Miss Xu, you’ve been very rude today!”

While Xu Qi was carrying him, Ye Lan angrily accused her.

She smiled, “So, is it not rude when you hold another girl’s hand for so long?”

Ye Lan explained, but Xu Qi acted as if she couldn’t hear, inevitably becoming a little angry. “Even if that’s the case, what does it have to do with Miss Xu?”

Xu Qi’s face turned cold, “Then what does it have to do with you if I’m rude? Just behave yourself and don’t move, or I’ll throw you down.”

With that, she pinched Ye Lan’s buttocks again as punishment.
