Boyfriend's passive-aggressive behavior, she turns the tables and makes him her backup option.

Si Nian looked at Xie Jingyao's hand, with its distinct knuckles, placed in front of her.

His fingers tapped the armrest panel inside the car one after another.

His hand bones and veins appeared more prominent, making him look extremely powerful.

Of course, it's not just about being powerful.

He used to be able to make Si Nian crumble and burst into tears time and time again just by using his long, slender fingers.

It must be admitted that, in some ways, the memories Xie Jingyao gave her will always be the most unforgettable.

Even five years later, she still vividly remembers those moments when she lost all reason.

Si Nian looked away, pushing away the absurd memories that surged up at an inopportune time.

She looked up and said calmly, "I want to see my mother."

Before Xie Jingyao could speak, she added, "I know she's under strict surveillance right now, and it's difficult to see her, but I believe you have the ability to let me see her..."

Xie Jingyao's fingers gripped Si Nian's hand from behind, squeezing her palm in his own, and with a forceful pull, dragged her directly into his arms.

"Can."

After Xie Jingyao responded, he made a phone call in front of Si Nian.

Si Nian, held in his arms, waited quietly, listening to the pounding of his heart throughout.

As he spoke, his chest vibrated, causing Si Nian's cheeks to feel hot.

After exchanging a few brief words with the other party, Xie Jingyao hung up the phone.

His deep, magnetic voice rang out from the top of the head: "I will arrange for you to meet in three days."

"Okay," Si Nian replied softly. She tried to get up, but was pulled back into her arms.

Those strong hands held her slender waist tightly, as if they didn't want to let go easily.

Si Nian's heart pounded uncontrollably.

The aura emanating from Xie Jingyao above was too strong to ignore.

She could hear every breath he took, every rise and fall of his chest.

Hearing his increasingly obvious breathing, Si Nian no longer calmly struggled to sit up.

Xie Jingyao slightly loosened his grip, but then smoothly slid his hand down her waistline. "Why are your ears red? What inappropriate things are you thinking about?"

"No, it's just too hot inside the car."

"It's hot even with the air conditioning on?"

"..."

Si Nian sat up straight and grabbed the flailing hand.

"My friend is still upstairs, I'll go back and keep her company."

"Is it important to spend time with her, but not important to spend time with me?" Xie Jingyao retorted.

"no the same……"

"How is it different?" Xie Jingyao leaned in and kissed her ear. "Spend more time with me, okay?"

Si Nian's skin, which he had touched, bristled with sensitivity.

She shrank her neck, feeling a little itchy, but her cheeks were cupped and her lips were sealed.

Compared to her struggles during previous kisses, Si Nian did not refuse this time. She even opened her lips when the other person tried to penetrate her.

Her response pleased Xie Jingyao, who deepened the kiss.

The kiss, both forceful and predatory, invaded all of Si Nian's senses.

Although the air conditioning was on in the car, Si Nian felt the temperature around her rising steadily.

She felt Xie Jingyao's burning body temperature spreading from his chest to his hands, and then to her body, gradually burning away all her reason.

Just as Xie Jingyao rolled up her skirt, the slightly cool air made Si Nian shiver.

After regaining her senses, she gripped the hem of her skirt tightly and pressed the clothes down.

"Not here."

People inevitably wander into the parking garage.

It's currently rush hour.

She didn't want to be watched.

Xie Jingyao lifted his face from her neck and asked in a hoarse voice, "Back to my place?"

Si Nian hesitated, while Song Shuyi was still waiting at her house.

Xie Jingyao raised his hand and pinched her earlobe, saying to her, "You promised to stay with me."

Hearing Xie Jingyao's slightly jealous words, Si Nian couldn't help but smile helplessly.

She compromised and said, "Then I'll tell my friend."

"Now tell me."

Si Nian took out her phone and sent a message to Song Shuyi, saying that she had something to do for the time being and that they would reschedule dinner for another day.

Song Shuyi sent an "ok" emoji.

I understand, I understand. Please take safety precautions.

【…】

Si Nian pushed Xie Jingyao's face away and put the phone away.

I wonder if Xie Jingyao saw Song Shuyi's "friendly reminder".

She got off Xie Jingyao's lap and sat back in the passenger seat, her cheeks still burning uncontrollably.

Si Nian rolled down the car window, wanting some fresh air.

Xie Jingyao reached out again.

Si Nian instinctively flinched, only to find that the other person had simply pulled her seatbelt over and fastened it for her.

Lin Tinghan, who had just finished a phone call with her family after parking her car outside the residential area, couldn't help but frown.

If he wasn't mistaken, the car that just passed by was Xie Jingyao's car.

The conspicuous license plate number makes it hard for anyone not to remember it.

And the woman sitting in the passenger seat looks like Si Nian.
