When Love Turns the Tables: The Mysterious Husband's Chase

Chapter 244: Sheng Jianan’s Protection (4)

Despite this, Tang Yanqi felt she still ought to say "thank you" to Sheng Jianan.

She wouldn’t return the phone, firstly because she really needed it, and secondly because even if she did return it, Sheng Jianan wouldn’t take it.

Tang Yanqi put the phone in her pocket and smiled at Sheng Jianan. "Thank you."

Sheng Jianan looked ahead, leisurely driving the car, his lips curling into a smile. "No need for thanks, just a hug will do."

Tang Yanqi’s smile froze on her face, and the next second her face turned beet red. This person... this person... was doing it on purpose, right?

Sheng Jianan caught all her little movements, his smile growing bigger, and he couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

This time, Tang Yanqi felt even more embarrassed, her cheeks turning red and the blush spreading to her ears and neck. She was sure Sheng Jianan did it on purpose. How old is he to still use such childish methods to tease people?

Tang Yanqi couldn’t hold back her temper, lifting her head to glare at Sheng Jianan. Although his eyes weren’t on her, this little action definitely didn’t escape Sheng Jianan’s sight.

The car reached Shengtang City’s parking lot, and Sheng Jianan made a beautiful reverse parking, smoothly stopping the car. Tang Yanqi had just unbuckled her seatbelt when a large hand suddenly reached over, accurately pinching her chin.

Sheng Jianan’s long fingers exerted a slight force, turning Tang Yanqi’s little face to face him. "Tang Yanqi, were you glaring at me just now? How dare you glare at me?"

Sheng Jianan’s tone was ominous, but in Tang Yanqi’s ears, it didn’t sound fearful at all. Instead, it seemed more like a four or five-year-old child saying "I’m not playing with you anymore."

Tang Yanqi couldn’t help but laugh out loud again, her lips instantly blocked by Sheng Jianan. She clearly felt Sheng Jianan bite her lip; it wasn’t painful, but it felt very intense.

"If you dare glare at me again, I’ll bite you to death."

It should have been an ambiguous moment, but with Sheng Jianan’s antics, all Tang Yanqi wanted to do was laugh, unable to think about anything else.

Tang Yanqi laughed so hard her shoulders shook, following Sheng Jianan out of the car, not even realizing when her hand was being held in Sheng Jianan’s palm.

They were supposed to arrive before Tang Ruhai, but after parking and messing around for a bit, Tang Ruhai had already arrived at the reserved room chosen by Sheng Jianan. Seeing Sheng Jianan enter, Tang Ruhai hurriedly stood up, and the next second, his eyes paused on the tightly held hands of Sheng Jianan and Tang Yanqi.

An unusual expression flashed in Tang Ruhai’s eyes, though quickly, it was clearly caught by Tang Yanqi. Only then did she belatedly realize they walked in holding hands like this.

Her heart sank instantly; what Tang Ruhai’s unusual expression meant, others might not know, but Tang Yanqi knew too well. She had been emphasizing to Tang Ruhai how bad her relationship with Sheng Jianan was.

She wanted Tang Ruhai to stop trying to benefit from Sheng Jianan.

Tang Ruhai had mentioned it a few times before, but hadn’t pressed hard because he also believed her relationship with Sheng Jianan was bad. But now... they walked in holding hands like this.

Tang Yanqi really wanted to withdraw her hand, but that would be too obvious, making things even more strange.
