Chapter 532: He edges closer to her with pursed lips...
The man’s hand was dry and warm. Being held by such a hand, Zimei was completely dazed.Her mind was in chaos, unable to process a single thought, her heart pounding rapidly.
A Cheng was actually holding her hand...
Ye Cheng was walking swiftly but suddenly came to a halt. His gaze fixed straight ahead, and his expression instantly darkened.
Because of the man’s sudden stop, Zimei nearly bumped into his broad back. Just as she was wondering what had happened, she saw Lu Shanhu approaching them with his hands folded behind his back.
Zimei clearly felt the large, warm hand holding hers abruptly loosen. Before she could react, Ye Cheng suddenly strode away.
His tall, slender figure seemed distant and icy, carrying a hidden fury.
"Little Zi, they’re still waiting. Let’s go back to the private room," Lu Shanhu said.
Zimei continued to stare blankly at the receding figure, her heart sinking lower and lower. The hope that had just ignited was swiftly extinguished.
A Cheng must have misunderstood.
Panic flashed through Zimei’s mind. She quickly took off after Ye Cheng.
"Little Zi!" Lu Shanhu called out in a deep voice.
"Godfather, I have something to do. I won’t be going back." Zimei didn’t even turn her head as she spoke.
Watching her stumble after the man in her high heels, Lu Shanhu’s face darkened further.
"A Cheng, wait a minute!"
Zimei caught up to him and blocked his path. Having run in a rush, she was slightly out of breath. "You misunderstood. I can explain my relationship with Lu Shanhu. We—"

Three years spent with that so-called godfather — what’s there left to explain?
With an indifferent glance, Ye Cheng bypassed her and walked on.
"A Cheng, you clearly have feelings for me. Why are you being so cold?" Zimei caught up to him again, gripping his arm, her face full of urgency.
Something Zimei said seemed to touch Ye Cheng’s raw nerve. His pupils shrank sharply. In the next moment, he suddenly grabbed her arm and yanked her into the nearby emergency exit.
Zimei was slammed against the wall with force. The impact sent a jolt of pain through her back.
She looked up at the man, her eyes full of shock.
Ye Cheng braced himself on the wall on either side of her head, his chest rising and falling with shallow breaths, caging her between his body and the wall. His phoenix eyes were a torrent of emotions.
"Is this what you wanted?"
Ye Cheng stared into her eyes, his thin lips curled into a mocking smile. There was something chilling emanating from him that made Zimei’s heart clench.
He stared at her for what felt like an eternity before slowly lowering his head, moving closer to her bright, alluring lips.
A Cheng, what are you doing?
Is he going to kiss her?
Zimei knew how dangerous Ye Cheng was in this moment, but she couldn’t stop the wild beating of her heart. Her mind had completely shut down, and her body was unbearably tense.
That devilishly handsome face kept getting closer and closer. Zimei could hardly breathe.
His thin lips crept nearer...
Zimei clenched her hands so tightly in her nervousness that her long nails pierced her own flesh, yet it did nothing to alleviate the suffocating tension she felt.
It felt as though her heart was about to burst out of her chest.
At such an intimate distance, Ye Cheng could see her long, delicate lashes trembling uncontrollably from nervousness. Her slightly parted lips were as red as blood, like a bewitching, dewy rose, tempting anyone to claim it.
Ye Cheng fixed his gaze on her stunningly beautiful face, his eyes flickering with complicated emotions.
Zimei distinctly felt the scorching heat of his breath. Just as their lips were about to meet, she couldn’t endure it any longer and shut her eyes tightly.
Ye Cheng’s pupils contracted abruptly, and his hands slowly clenched into fists.
