"Phew, Sister Lu's husband is terrifying."
After leaving the private room, Gu Xiao walked away, patting her chest and muttering under her breath, as if she'd had a narrow escape.
"Bam!" In a daze, she walked right into someone's arms, "Ah?!"
The man's slender arms wrapped around her waist lightly, preventing Gu Xiao from dodging away.
Looking up in fear, she hadn't expected to find herself gazing into a pair of weary yet gentle deep eyes. In their profound pupils, her own reflection was visible.
"Little girl, you've gotten bold, daring to come to a place like this to drink?"
Ling Hanxiao bent his finger towards her pair of dazed and pure eyes, and his heart softened. The action he had intended as a knock turned into a gentle pinch on her cheek.
It didn't feel like punishment but rather like teasing, which made one's heartbeat quicken involuntarily.
"You, how did you get here?" Gu Xiao's cute cheeks blushed pink.
