Suddenly, Su Jiu realized that this was the second time she had kissed the little villain. Moreover, he had taken the initiative. It would be unreasonable not to let him take responsibility for her!

She was about to speak when Rong Si spoke first as if he knew what she was going to say to him. “I’m leaving this afternoon.”

Seeing his calm expression, as though he was not the one who had kissed her and had no intention of taking responsibility, Su Jiu became unhappy. “Oh, fine, leave then.”

“You’re just going to let me go?”

“What else do you want to do?” Su Jiu glared at him.

Rong Si chuckled. He knew what she was thinking, but he didn’t want to make his feelings clear to her so suddenly. He wanted to wait for a special day to let her know.

And that day was coming soon.

“There are a lot of things I’d like to do,” Rong Si meaningfully said to her, looking down again.

However, Su Jiu placed her hand on his chest and said angrily, “Rong Si! What do you mean? What’s my relationship with you? Who are you to kiss me? Did you even ask for my opinion?”

“We’ve already kissed. Isn’t it too late for this?”

“It’s not too late! Anyway, you’re not allowed to kiss me without my permission next time.” Su Jiu pouted. At the same time, she was getting anxious.

D*mn! Is the little villain stupid? Or is he just playing dumb? I made it so clear, yet he still hasn’t made a move.

With his intelligence, he has to be acting stupid!

Is he waiting for me to speak first?

As she was thinking, she heard Rong Si say, “Then, what will it take for you to agree?”

Look at him. If he says he isn’t playing dumb, I won’t believe him!

“A boy has to have a reason to kiss a girl! For example, he can kiss her if he’s in a relationship with her!” Su Jiu said wildly.

Rong Si still pretended not to understand. He suppressed a smile and said, “Oh.”

Su Jiu was speechless.

What does he mean by ‘oh’?!

Why hadn’t I realized before that the little villain is so annoying?

From the looks of it, he’s waiting for me to speak first. Men really are pigs!

She had no choice. The young man in front of her was the brat she liked. Of course, she had to give in to him. Hence, Su Jiu blushed and took a deep breath. Then, she asked, “Rong Si, tell me, do you like me?”

After saying that, she suddenly felt shy. She quickly covered her face with her hands, wishing she could dig a hole and hide in it.

Ahhh, what am I talking about?

She felt like a bully who wanted to snatch a girl from a good family. If the other party said that he didn’t like her, she would snatch him away.

Annoyed, Su Jiu opened her fingers slightly and observed the little villain’s expression through them.

He seemed to be trying very hard not to laugh.

Su Jiu felt even more embarrassed and angry. “What are you laughing at? I’m asking you very seriously. Do you find that funny?”

She is so cute when she is fierce.

Rong Si stopped laughing and stared at her. His expression became serious. “Do you want to know?”

Su Jiu choked, and her arrogance suddenly weakened. She blushed and whispered, “Yes…”

Rong Si didn’t answer directly. “I thought it was obvious,” he said.

It was obvious, but—

Su Jiu said righteously, “If you want to act like it’s obvious, you also have to say it! Tell me. Do you like me?”

She had thrown away her pride to get the little villain’s answer. She had thrown caution to the wind.

However, Rong Si still kept her in suspense. “I’ll tell you later.”

Later?

When is that?

“Rong Si, if you’re a man, be straightforward—” Before Su Jiu could finish her sentence, Rong Si suddenly reached out and pulled her over. His hot lips landed on hers again.

“Oh…” Su Jiu did not expect him to be like this and was momentarily stunned.

She could have pushed him away, but she did not resist him at all. Instead, she fell into his gentle caress again and could not pull away.

When Rong Si released her, they were both flushed and breathless. He pressed his large hand against the back of her head and intimately pressed his forehead against hers. A wave of emotions surged in his eyes. “Is this enough for you?”

Su Jiu was astonished.

Help, the little villain has really gone bad!

***

Rong Si took the return flight in the afternoon. Su Jiu sent him to the airport. When she returned to Su Shengjing’s ward, she realized that her father was looking at her strangely the moment she entered the ward.

Su Jiu braced herself and walked over. Pretending that nothing had happened, she asked, “Daddy, how do you feel? Are your injuries still painful?”

“What do you think?” Su Shengjing glanced at her and asked faintly, “Tell me, where did you go just now?”

“I…” Su Jiu was embarrassed. “Rong Si was going back. I sent him to the airport. Dad, I was very careful this time. The Li family’s bodyguards followed me all the way. I didn’t run around on my own. Don’t worry.”

Su Shengjing snorted, and his gaze landed on her lips. “What happened to your mouth?”

Su Jiu gasped.

No— no way! Has Daddy noticed something?’

Instinctively, Su Jiu touched her lips. They seemed to be slightly swollen, as if they were still being crushed by the little villain’s lips. Her ears felt hot again.

She gave a dry laugh and said, “Nothing. It’s been hot outside lately.”

An Yuan, who was sitting by the bed, smiled but did not say anything.

“Hot? I don’t think so.” Su Shengjing snorted again. “You must have been bitten by something, right? For example, a shameless brat!”

When he got agitated, he also agitated his injuries. Su Shengjing frowned in pain.

Su Jiu hurriedly said, “Daddy, rest well. You need to rest so your injuries heal quickly.”

“Hmph, my daughter has already been taken by that little brat. How can I still be calm? Can I still rest well?” Su Shengjing was furious.

He was now basically certain that the boy’s backpack he had seen in Su Jiu’s room the other day was Rong Si’s. Not only was his daughter dating that brat, but she was also sharing a room with him. This was infuriating.

Ever since that girl was young, Su Shengjing had taught her many times that girls had to take care of themselves. Did that advice go in one ear and out the other?

After so many years, he had figured out Rong Si’s character. Fortunately, that brat was an upright person and wouldn’t do anything out of line. If he had evil intentions, he would have shown it already!

Su Shengjing knocked Su Jiu’s forehead and asked angrily, “Tell me the truth. Are you together with that kid? When did it start?”

At this point, Su Jiu became even more embarrassed. “Well… I’m not with him yet.”

Su Shengjing was speechless.

His expression soured. “What do you mean? Could it be that the two of you aren’t even a couple yet, but you’ve already done the things only a couple should do?”
