Chapter 172: Just a Female Companion

"Are you bullying me?" Qiao Rui felt like he was saying this on purpose, as if he were nothing but a sanctimonious hypocrite.

"Yes."

Yet Pei Liyan nodded earnestly.

Now Qiao Rui understood, this 'bullying' carried a special meaning.

She looked at the man's handsome face, his deep eyes hiding too much mystery.

Qiao Rui turned her face away, muttering, "That won't do, if you bully me, I'll fight back."

Pei Liyan looked at her palm-sized face, her red lips opening and closing, her attempt to avoid his gaze a bit shy.

It set his heart aflutter, a wave of heat burning within him.

He couldn't help himself, his Adam's apple bobbing a few times.

Then, his raspy voice emerged, "Fight back? By then, I might not give you the chance."

Qiao Rui swiftly turned her head.

The handsome face of the man was suddenly magnified before her eyes, causing her to startle. Just as she was about to scream, the man beside her suddenly leaned in, capturing her lips fiercely.
