As they chatted, he unknowingly extended his hand once more.
However, with a swift glance, she teasingly laughed it off and effortlessly swatted his hand away.
It was as before: she could take the lead and flirt with him, but if he tried to make a move on her...
Not a chance!
But after she swatted his hand away, his demeanor suddenly became dejected.
The conversation turned boring right then. Anyway, he was just answering her without enthusiasm.
His responses were all "Oh", "That's right" and other words of the sort.
Unbearably, the beautiful woman started to feel bouts of gloom.
Eventually, with a streak of determination, she extended her jade-like hand to grasp his, pretending to be concerned, she anxiously asked, "Er Niu, are you feeling unwell?"
As she spoke, she bent down... reaching out with her other hand to touch his forehead.
"Mm, I'm fine," he responded.
Inside, Li Zhongnan felt a pleasure that he could hardly contain. He had figured out this woman's motives.
