Stealing Your Heart

Was she merely messing with him?

Chen Shihan stroked his chest and fiddled with the button on his collar. “Since you like me so much, don’t you want to dominate me?”

Li Zhan was speechless.

Can I go now?

Shihan grinned naughtily, as her fingers raised his chin and she teased, “Don’t tell me that for my own sake, you won’t have sex with me before marriage. Don’t give me such a weak excuse.”

Li Zhan stammered, “But… But if we were to do it now, your reputation will be ruined. We should wait it out for your own good.”

Shihan pushed him away and sneered, “Li Zhan, do you take me for a fool? That I’m the type to fall in and out of love easily?”

Truthfully, when she heard Li Zhan’s bold confession, her heart was set aflutter. Pondering upon it later, she realized that the confession came just as she was about to marry Jinghao. Is this a mere coincidence? Or mayhap this is a sinister scheme to stop me from marrying Jinghao?

If it were not for this crucial moment, she would have considered accepting Li Zhan. After all, he was handsome compared to most men and a celebrity to boot. If she really became his girlfriend, she could imagine the throng of his fangirls lamenting and gnashing their teeth. Their envy towards her would certainly fill her with a smug, satisfying sense of superiority.

Her bold seduction just now was deliberately enacted to test his sincerity. As expected, there was something odd about him.

Something was definitely fishy regarding his love confession. She could sense an insincere intent behind it.

“Li Zhan dear, if you really loved me from the beginning, you won’t have waited until this last-minute juncture to confess. Is it because you lack the courage? Nah, you’re not that type. I’ve seen through you. Your game is over… Or will you still like to continue this pointless charade?” having said that snidely, she pointed to the door.

Li Zhan’s expression twitched. This cunning woman knew he was putting up an act all along?

Wasn’t she testing me just now?

Squinting his eyes, he gave in. “Chen Shihan, since when have you become such an annoying woman? Why do you keep clinging onto a married man?”

On the other side, she plonked down at the end of the bed and taunted, “Ah. Dropping your act, I see. Didn’t you say Jinghao is mentally ill? Or a sick bastard? A women abuser with a tendency for unnatural fetishes? Come, continue to tell me more! What else you’ve got?”

Losing his cool, Li Zhan rushed towards her, aiming for her neck and wanting to choke her. Surprisingly, Shihan raised her neck as if to welcome his clenching claws. He was nearly driven mad with anger by this cunning woman. However, met with her familiar look, he could not bear to continue.

Even though his heart was still furious, he clasped his outstretched hands midair and stopped.

Shihan calmly looked at him. That split second when he dashed over just now, she felt a shot of adrenaline engulfing her. However, remembering how he had protected her from being bullied back when they were young, her fear dissipated.

That was why she dared to raise her neck to him without fear.

“Wen Xiaoji, your status, and talent as a celebrity are not in vain. Your acting is top-notch; I nearly take it seriously several times. However, don’t bother interfering with my affairs with Jinghao. I will definitely marry him.”

Looking at her face intently, he asked, “What do you like about him?”
