"Grandma Li, I won't be having dinner, please enjoy your meal, I'm heading home now, and remember to watch your diet as usual, don't eat too much, it can lead to various health issues," Xiao said as she took her keys, unlocked the door, pulled Qiao Si inside, then shut the courtyard gate behind them, fearing Grandma Li might burst in and drag her off to dinner.
Even with the gate closed, they could still hear Grandma Li's voice: "What's there to be polite about, child? I've watched you grow up. What's there to be embarrassed about coming to eat?"
Leaning against the door, Xiao patted her chest, feeling like she had narrowly escaped.
Before she could catch her breath, suddenly it was as if night had fallen, and the man's towering body was pressing down on her.
Qiao Si was propping one hand against the wooden door, his eyes intensely staring at her.
"What are you doing?" she asked.
Xiao was caught off guard by the sudden closeness.
