A person in my arms gasped. I looked down by the firelight and saw Shangguan Yao!
Shangguan Yao, completely devoid of the cold elegance and arrogance from the day, looked up at me shyly.
"Why did you suddenly hug me? You scared me."
Damn it, this late-night ambush with people taking turns, had they planned this?
After I let go, Shangguan Yao took two steps back, blushed, and whispered to me, "Don't be so indecent right off the bat, you hooligan."
I was sound asleep and then rudely awakened by an insult. It made me a bit annoyed, so I retorted at Shangguan Yao, "Why did you wake me up in the middle of the night?"
Shangguan Yao heard my loud voice and, like a thief with a guilty conscience, covered my mouth with her small hand.
She then looked around and pointed towards the cave entrance.
Was she asking me to go out with her?
I had no idea what Shangguan Yao was up to, so I decided to follow her outside the cave.
The women inside the cave were sound asleep, and Guan Hai'er was even snoring.
Honestly, this primeval forest, devoid of any traces of modern civilization, was truly beautiful.
The bright moonlight shone on the thick, ancient trees, making them look like pillars supporting the firmament, standing tall and unwavering.
The chirping of insects from the distant forest added a lively atmosphere to this beautiful scene.
Although I had now profoundly realized the terrifying nature of this forest, I couldn't help but marvel at the beauty before me.
Shangguan Yao walked up to me, sighed lightly, and reached out to squeeze my arm.
"I didn't talk much with you during the day. How are your injuries? Are they serious?"
Seeing Shangguan Yao's worried little expression, I couldn't help but smile.
This little vixen was just shy. She put on a cool facade in front of so many people during the day, only to pull me out at night for a tender inquiry.
I suddenly felt like teasing Shangguan Yao.
Frowning, I feigned a pained expression and said, "The injuries are still a bit troublesome. Don't be fooled by my relaxed demeanor during the day; I've been in constant pain."
Shangguan Yao, seeing that my expression didn't seem fake, was instantly shocked, her face turning pale. She clutched my arm, looking at me nervously.
"Ah, then I'll quickly wake up Luo Yaqin to examine you!"
I suppressed my laughter and, with a serious expression, lifted my shirt, revealing my well-built chest.
"I'm just feeling a bit breathless. Why don't you feel it and help me breathe?"
This silly girl Shangguan Yao actually took me seriously. Her soft hands gently touched my chest, stroking it lightly.
I was in heaven. This beautiful CEO, who was once so unattainable at the company, had finally been conquered by my charm.
Shangguan Yao, with her head lowered, felt me for a while. When she looked up, she saw my mischievous smile and finally realized what had happened, her ears blushing crimson.
She playfully hit me with her small fist, "You're wild, Lu Zi Ye. You really are a hooligan. I'm never talking to you again." With that, she turned to walk back into the cave.
If I let her escape now, I would be a disgrace to all seasoned drivers.
I grabbed her small hand and, with a natural motion, pinned her against the wall.
"You've already come to my lips, and you still want to run away?"
Shangguan Yao closed her eyes in embarrassment, like an ostrich refusing to face reality. But her slightly parted lips betrayed her true desires.
She said no with her mouth, but her body was honest.
I slowly lowered my head. Shangguan Yao seemed to know what was about to happen, her body tensing up even more, but there was no struggle.
Just as I was about to kiss her, a curious voice suddenly came from the cave entrance.
"Little Ye Brother, Sister Yao. Why aren't you sleeping in the middle of the night? What are you doing out here?"
I was startled and looked up, meeting Zhuo Ya's curious gaze.
At such a critical moment, where did Zhuo Ya pop out from?
I was frustrated. It was like having a loaded gun and discovering the prey was saved by someone else right under my nose.
As soon as Shangguan Yao heard someone approaching, she sprang out of my embrace like a coiled spring.
She tidied her clothes, trying to conceal what had happened, then turned to Zhuo Ya and pretended to be composed, saying, "Lu Zi Ye and I couldn't sleep, so we just came out for some fresh air and a chat."
Although her words were very proper, Shangguan Yao's shy demeanor made it hard to believe her.
Zhuo Ya, being inexperienced, suddenly her eyes lit up upon hearing this.
"That's wonderful! I also just had enough sleep. Perfect, let's all three chat together."
As Zhuo Ya spoke, she walked between us and plopped down on the ground.
Me... Damn it!
Who wanted to chat!
You believe it just because I said chat?
