The flirtatious girl is done flirting; Mr. He is now obsessed with her.

Bai Yishu's emotions collapsed instantly when he yelled at her like that, and tears streamed down her face.

"I don't want to! I just panicked for a moment, I didn't know what other choice I had..."

When He Yun Shen saw her tears, all his anger and resentment instantly crumbled, leaving only endless heartache. He reached out to wipe away her tears, but stopped in mid-air.

"So, you chose this path? You'd rather suffer than believe I'd help you..."

He leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and when he opened them again, his eyes were filled with pain and helplessness.

"It's not that I don't believe it, it's just..."

"Just what?"

His voice trembled with suppressed emotion as he reached out and pulled Bai Yishu into his arms, his strength so great it seemed he wanted to meld her into his very bones.

"You just feel like it's over between us, so you'd rather beg that bastard than owe me a favor again, is that it?"

He Yun Shen rested his chin on her head, and his eyes reddened slightly when she couldn't see them.

Bai Yishu was so startled by his sudden embrace that she froze on the spot, her hands stiff and unable to move.

But he wasn't wrong about a single word. She just didn't want to owe anyone a favor, so even if she had to ask someone like Fu Xiu for help, she wouldn't dare to ask him.

He Yun Shen felt a sharp pain in his heart as he sensed her silence, and gradually loosened his grip on her.

"Bai Yishu, you are really...so silly."

He looked out the window, sighed, and tried to calm himself down.

He Yun Shen lowered his head and gently stroked Bai Yi Shu's cheek with his thumb, wiping away the tears on her face.

Even after we broke up, I never intended for you to face all of this alone.

"I can handle the Bai family's affairs."

Bai Yishu seemed surprised by his words, and a mixture of hope and apprehension welled up within her.

"But……"

"There's no 'but' about it."

He Yun Shen interrupted her, his tone firm and forceful, leaving no room for refusal.

"I'm not discussing this with you. I'll have someone contact the Bai family first thing tomorrow morning."

He gently stroked the back of Bai Yishu's head, his voice gradually softening.

"Promise me you won't do anything so foolish again."

Bai Yishu's eyes instantly welled up with tears again. All the grievances and feigned strength that she had been suppressing in her heart collapsed because of his words.

She sniffed, her throat so constricted she couldn't speak, only managing to squeeze out a few words.

"Thank you……"

Hearing her thanks, He Yun Shen felt a tightness in his chest, and his eyes darkened.

"Bai Yishu, when did things become so distant between us?"

Bai Yishu sensed a hint of displeasure in his tone and was about to explain when he suddenly leaned down and kissed her lips.

Her mind exploded, all clarity and reason vanished, and she gradually succumbed to the frenzied kiss.

He Yun Shen released her after a long while, the car filled with an ambiguous atmosphere, and his breathing became somewhat rapid.

"From now on, you are not allowed to say thank you again."

Bai Yishu was still in shock from the kiss and just stared blankly at He Yunshen.

"you……"

He Yun Shen stared intently at her, unwilling to look away. He reached out and stroked Bai Yi Shu's cheek, his voice low and ambiguous.

"What, you hate this?"

Bai Yishu was a beat slow to react, and it took her a long time to process those words before she slowly shook her head.

How could I possibly hate it...

A hint of secret joy flashed in He Yun Shen's eyes, and his breathing became heavier.

"Since you don't dislike it... how about this?"

He moved closer to Bai Yishu again, his nose brushing against her cheek, and before she could respond, he gently kissed the corner of her lips.

Bai Yishu blushed and her heart raced at his intimate gestures, her body stiffening and unable to move.

"Why are you still as easily embarrassed as before?"

When He Yun Shen saw her blush, his heart stirred, and he couldn't help but chuckle softly. He stroked her lower lip with his thumb, his voice carrying a seductive tone.

"Close your eyes."

Bai Yishu obediently closed her eyes, feeling a warm breath brush against her cheek, a soft touch on her eyelids, then on the tip of her nose, and finally on her lips.

This kiss was no longer as urgent as before, but rather lingered gently on the lips.

After an unknown amount of time, they reluctantly parted, their foreheads touching, their breaths mingling.

Bai Yishu instinctively grabbed the hem of his clothes, her heart feeling like it was about to leap out of her chest.

"us……"

"What happened to us?"

He Yun Shen's eyes were hazy yet burning, his voice seductive. Before Bai Yi Shu could answer, he lightly kissed the corner of her lips again.

Bai Yishu was so nervous about the question she was about to ask that she deliberately held her breath, afraid of disturbing the hard-won intimacy at this moment.

"Have we made up?"

He Yun Shen chuckled lightly, a sly glint flashing in his eyes, which was quickly replaced by seriousness.

"That depends on what you think."

He cupped Bai Yishu's face in his hands and looked into her eyes.

"Bai Yishu, I'm asking you, are you willing to be with me again?"

Bai Yishu stared at him blankly, repeatedly confirming in her heart that what he just said was not an illusion, and nodded vigorously.

Her tears fell even more fiercely at this moment, not from grievance, but from the heartache and longing that had been bottled up for too long.

"Why are you crying again?"

He Yun Shen was initially delighted to see her nod, but then panicked when he saw her tears falling and quickly wiped them away gently with his fingers.

"Don't cry, I can't stand seeing you cry."

He Yun Shen felt as if something inside her had melted, and he bent down to kiss away the tears at the corners of her eyes.

Bai Yishu sniffed, wiped her face haphazardly, and choked up.

"This is crying with joy."

He Yun Shen shook his head helplessly, but couldn't help chuckle softly, his voice filled with affection.

"What an idiot."

He pulled Bai Yishu into his arms again, a smile unconsciously creeping onto his face.

"Laugh when you're happy, why cry?"

Although he said that, he knew in his heart that he was also trying his best to restrain the surging emotions in his heart.

Bai Yishu loosened her grip on his clothes and finally tried to gently stroke his back, holding him tightly in her arms.

He Yunshen felt her embrace, tightened his arms, and his voice trembled slightly.

"Yi Shu, promise me one more thing."

"What?"

He pulled away slightly, but his hands still held her waist.

"No matter what difficulties you encounter, please tell me first. Don't bear it all alone, okay?"

Bai Yishu knew in her heart that she had done something stupid, which not only made him anxious and angry, but also sad.

She leaned against He Yunshen and nodded.

"I see."

A hint of relief flashed in He Yunshen's eyes, and then he lowered his head to gently kiss her forehead.

"good."

A smile unconsciously crept onto his lips, his heart filled with immense satisfaction.

As night deepened, He Yun Shen held her tightly, as if he wanted to extend this moment of tenderness forever.
