Tease her more

Xia Yuqing was stunned. "Make it up to you?!"

Lu Jinchen nodded slowly, eyes twinkling with mischief. "Yes. You said you don't want to be my wife. That's quite the heartbreak. How could I, the man every woman dreams of marrying, endure such cruel words? The damage to my heart, my reputation..." He sighed dramatically, shaking his head. "At the very least, I should be compensated for my emotional distress."

Xia Yuqing's jaw dropped. Compensate?

"You... you... how can you be so shameless?!" she hissed, glaring at him. But in Lu Jinchen's eyes, her flushed cheeks and indignant expression only made her look adorable—like an angry little kitten trying to bare its claws. It only made him want to tease her more. 

"Shameless?" He tilted his head, his voice a lazy purr. "Mrs. Lu, I haven't even started being shameless. Would you like a demonstration?"
