Unexpectedly, his words acted like a spark that triggered a chain reaction. He suddenly moved in front of her, bringing his face so close to her eyes, his gaze seemed as if he wanted to etch her features deeply into his pupils.
"You—" Gu Nuan could smell the intense heat coming from his body, a distinctly masculine kind of heat, and she slightly widened her eyes.
"What you just said, you said, you care about me, that's why you mentioned me, right?"
Gu Nuan wished she hadn't spoken those words, not knowing how they had slipped out of her mouth; they were not at all what she had intended to say.
"I was just making a comparison, talking about your dad." Gu Nuan couldn't believe she had to make excuses for herself at this moment. Heaven knows she hated dishonest excuses the most.
"Yes, you were talking about my dad—"
His corners of lips lifted, clearly catching the slight embarrassment on her face, looking utterly pleased with himself like a little kid.
