Chapter 137: Awkward New Marriage (24)

The setting sun's afterglow faintly illuminated her face, half-hidden by her short hair.

He discovered she was quite pretty. Her features, although not as delicate as Lin Na's, were quite striking and harmonious. Her eyelashes were long, casting a beautiful arc on her closed eyelids, and her slightly upturned lips were cherry-red, slightly parted in her sleep...

Seeing her slightly parted lips, he suddenly swallowed, feeling an impulse to taste what flavor they might be. So, uncontrollably, he leaned in, lowering his head...

Just as his lips were about to touch hers, Mai Xiaomai suddenly opened her eyes...

He startled, quickly straightening up, and tried to look indifferent, but the redness of his ears had already betrayed his flustered mind.

However, Mai Xiaomai did not see this.

The moment she opened her eyes, she too was startled by the close-up view of Qiao Chutian's face.

Of course, she couldn't possibly guess that Qiao Chutian had wanted to kiss her.
