"Do you know? After confirming this news, I really wanted to keep you here at all costs!" Shi Gui Fang sighed after learning the truth behind the surprise, her voice tinged with excitement.
Hearing this, Li Qian didn't think much of it and playfully quipped, "At all costs? Does that include you?"
"If you chose to stay, that could be arranged." The petite woman was taken aback for a moment but recovered quickly, her tone becoming suggestive.
"Ahem..." Li Qian coughed lightly, an irrepressible look of embarrassment flashing across his face. He had been purely joking, not thinking anything of it, and never expected the woman to actually run with it.
"Tee-hee... I'm just kidding..." Seeing the fleeting embarrassment and panic on Li Qian's face, Shi Gui Fang suddenly burst out laughing. Her laughter instantly broke the tense atmosphere.
