But she didn’t call him out on the lie, and simply lowered her head to continue eating.

  Ye Qianqian felt absolutely wanton! Here, right in the middle of dinner with his family…… D*mn it! It was all Shen Zhilie’s fault!

  It was fortunate that Shen Zhilie’s parents seemed pretty easygoing, but if his grandmother were to suddenly return and catch them in the act, wouldn’t that be……

  Blushing furiously, Ye Qianqian looked down and finished her food without a word. Except for the fact that Shen Zhilie kept reaching out to caress her under the table, the rest of dinner passed without any incident. Luckily, even after dinner was over, Old Mrs. Shen still hadn’t returned.

  Ye Qianqian was done eating, and she was about to help Nanny He clear the table when Shen Zhilie suddenly pulled her away.

  Shen Zhilie’s parents cast a suspicious glance their way, and Ye Qianqian felt even more embarrassed. She hoped to heaven that Shen Zhilie’s parents hadn’t noticed his little clandestine actions!

  While Shen Zhilie dragged her out, Ye Qianaqian blushed the entire way. She wanted nothing more than to dig a hole and hide herself inside it!

  Upon exiting, Ye Qianqian snatched her hand back and demanded, “What the h*ll did you think you were doing just now?”


  “Huh? What did I do?” Shen Zhilie played dumb and blinked at Ye Qianqian innocently with a puppy-like expression.

  Ye Qianqian’s face was still feeling warm, and she smacked his hand hard as she replied, “Your parents were right there, and you kept caressing and stroking me randomly! I kept feeling your mom’s eyes on me!”


  “When did I caress or stroke you randomly? Stop maligning me!” Shen Zhilie cradled his hand and retorted, “Besides, don’t we always do that at the dinner table? It’s become a habit!”


  Shen Zhilie’s words made Ye Qianqian feel ashamed, and she countered, “Bloody h*ll! D*mn it! How shameless can you get? Since when do we ever do that at the dinner table?”


  “We do. It’s just that you’ve gotten so used to it that you don’t feel it anymore.”


  “.…… That’s not true! Have you been stroking some other chick’s legs and forgot who you were with?” Ye Qianqian narrowed her eyes and glared at him accusingly.

  “No f*cking way! That’s absolutely impossible! You’re my one and only! You can’t doubt me like that!” Shen Zhilie pulled Ye Qianqian into his arms and quickly professed his undying loyalty.

  Ye Qianqian scoffed at his display, but her lips couldn’t help turning up in a smile.

  When Shen Zhilie saw the faint smile on her lips, his face broke out in a wide grin. He leaned forward and gave her a kiss.

  Ye Qianqian was stunned and quickly looked to her left and right. Only when she was certain that no one else was around did she pinch his waist in response. She admonished, “You’re so annoying! We’re right in the middle of a public road! What if someone saw us?”


  “So what if they did? What’s wrong with me kissing my girlfriend?” Shen Zhilie asked with righteous indignation. He held Ye Qianqian’s hand and pulled her into a hug. “No one usually passes by here. Give me a kiss.”


  “No!”


  Ye Qianqian turned to leave, but Shen Zhilie was having none of it. He pulled her over and locked her in his embrace before kissing her squarely on the mouth. His tongue expertly snaked its way inside, and as his hand roamed around her body, his other arm tightened its hold around her.

  Ye Qianqian struggled for a while, and when she realized it was fruitless to do so, she stole a glance at her surroundings to ascertain no one else was present before closing her eyes.

  Being the passive recipient of such a smothering kiss, Ye Qianqian felt an unprecedented sense of arousal. It was her first time acting so uninhibitedly right in the middle of a public road. If anyone caught sight of them, it would make for a very embarrassing situation.

  “Oh my! Isn’t that our neighbor, Little Shenshen?” The voice was teasing, and it sounded like it had come from a middle-aged woman.

  Ye Qianqian was caught by surprise, and she instinctively pushed Shen Zhilie away.

  Shen Zhilie hadn’t had his fill, and turned his head in displeasure to look who it was.
