Amidst Jiang Cheng's dense, deep kisses, An Xin asked softly, unable to restrain her emotions, "Jiang Cheng, do you like me?"
Compared to An Xin, Jiang Cheng's rationality was still stable at this moment.
After pausing for a second, he didn't speak but buried his head to kiss her again.
Watching Jiang Cheng burrowing into her clothes, An Xin thought he hadn't heard her question.
She grabbed Jiang Cheng's head with both hands and asked again, "How do you... feel about me?"
Before she could finish, she suddenly let out a trembling cry.
A strange sensation instantly swept through her entire body.
The development of things had somewhat exceeded An Xin's expectations.
The testing she had imagined was a mutual expression of feelings.
At most, it would be the kind of nervous, shallow pecking she had done just now.
Not directly lifting things up, with the two of them baring it all to each other.
For her, the progress was a bit too fast.
She hurriedly wanted to end this test.
Her hands were no longer as active as at the beginning, but were desperately pushing Jiang Cheng away.
However, Jiang Cheng was unwilling to let her have her way.
How could he easily let go of the fat meat that had reached his mouth?
The more flustered An Xin was in her attempt to push him away, the more fierce Jiang Cheng's offensive became.
Even his free hands began to enter the battlefield.
However, their intimacy didn't last long before the buzzer on the dining table rang.
Hearing this, Jiang Cheng was somewhat annoyed, but his movements didn't miss a beat.
The ringing of the buzzer meant the Waitress was about to start serving dishes or come in to take away empty plates.
An Xin bit her lip hard and pleaded with Jiang Cheng in a whimpering tone, "Jiang Cheng... let me go, don't let others see."
"You... don't."
"Don't be like this, I'm begging you, they're coming in in a moment."
Frustrated as he was, Jiang Cheng still sat up amidst An Xin's repeated pleas.
He stopped this impromptu gambit with some regret.
Seeing Jiang Cheng leave her.
She immediately sat up in a panic.
She quickly straightened the clothes that Jiang Cheng had flipped up.
She gave Jiang Cheng a somewhat resentful look, but with just one glance, An Xin instantly turned her blushing face away.
After pulling away from Jiang Cheng's side, An Xin began to calm down.
The reckless thoughts from just now began to dissipate.
What replaced them was endless regret and guilt.
Especially when she thought of Yu Xiaoxiao at this moment, An Xin felt even more guilty.
An Xin remembered the happy look on Yu Xiaoxiao's face as she stood beside Jiang Cheng that day.
If she saw or knew about this ambiguous relationship between her and Jiang Cheng, she would definitely be very sad.
In her heart now, her active testing just now was breaking up someone else's happiness.
An Xin didn't have the heart to blame Jiang Cheng; instead, she condemned herself harshly in her mind.
What was the difference between her actions and those of a despised "third party"?
Once her rationality returned, An Xin licked her somewhat dry lips and said to Jiang Cheng with difficulty, "It was because I was drunk that I did such an embarrassing thing. I'm sorry, please forget about this."
Jiang Cheng was stunned for a second. Just as he was about to say something to An Xin, the Female Waitress walked in from outside carrying the post-meal dessert.
Seeing this, An Xin seemed to have found a lifeline; she hurriedly stood up and grabbed her Hermès bag from her seat.
Then, forcing herself to stay calm, she said quickly to Jiang Cheng, "I still have to go home and coax Annie to sleep, so I'll head back first. I've already paid for the dinner."
After saying that, she didn't wait for Jiang Cheng's reply and ran straight out without looking back.
An Xin's hurried, escapist manner even made the Waitress lose her composure and look at her a few more times.
Jiang Cheng didn't chase after her.
Because he understood that even if he chased her now, he wouldn't have anything to say.
This was a choice that An Xin needed to digest herself.
As a "good man," in this situation, the more he said, the more mistakes he would make.
In fact, no matter how he explained it, his behavior would be wrong.
He might as well shut up and hand the power of choice and initiative over to her.
His main strategy was to just let things slide—no, "going with the flow" would be more appropriate.
Moreover, he had noticed just now.
Although the two of them had been intimate, after An Xin calmed down, her favorability value towards him dropped by several points.
This also showed that it wasn't yet the time for her to take the initiative to get close willingly.
Forcing it would only be counterproductive.
Clearly, she couldn't get past that hurdle in her heart.
Looking at the exquisite jelly-like dessert on the table, Jiang Cheng picked it up to look at it.
Now only Jiang Cheng and the Female Waitress remained in the room.
Her gaze toward Jiang Cheng was full of a predatory vibe.
From the first moment she saw Jiang Cheng, she couldn't help but be attracted by his young and handsome face.
However, seeing An Xin leave in a hurry just now, she clearly looked like someone who had been heartbroken.
The Female Waitress prided herself on having dealt with countless men, so at this moment, she subconsciously labeled Jiang Cheng as a scumbag in her heart.
Seeing that An Xin was gone, the Female Waitress seized the opportunity and hurriedly introduced the dessert in his hand to Jiang Cheng in a considerate manner.
PS~~~~ I have a few things to say.
A small number of readers have been urging me to quickly win over An Xin. Don't worry, every important woman who appears in this book will be obtained.
It's just that this harvest needs to be a gradual process.
Every girl has her specific setting, family background, and unique thoughts.
So the process everyone goes through also has a specific setting.
I don't want the whole book to turn into a meaningless stallion novel.
An Xin's setting is a wealthy girl with a background. From the perspective of life, experience, and state of mind, this kind of woman has some differences from ordinary women.
The intersection between her and Jiang Cheng must also go through time and the push of the plot.
They can't just inexplicably be together after meeting twice.
That's not realistic, so please be patient. I want to write according to my own story rhythm.
Thank you for your support!
