Liu Qi curled her lip.
"Who wants to argue with her? I only made a joke that was neither too big nor too small, and she couldn't take it. That stubborn old maid might as well stay single for the rest of her life."
Xu Qi could more or less guess what kind of jokes Liu Qi had made.
But Liu Qi's expression shifted, and she said in a coquettish voice, "Are you deliberately changing the subject? Trying to make things between us a little less tense?"
Xu Qi's face flushed.
Clearly, Liu Qi had hit the nail on the head—but did she really have to say it so directly?
Seeing how adorable he looked after being exposed, Liu Qi truly couldn't resist any longer.
She quickly kissed Xu Qi on the cheek and said, "Not bad. Let's count that as the reward I promised you earlier."
Xu Qi touched his cheek, still feeling a trace of moisture.
But he was no longer the little Chu Nan who would be shaken for an entire day after receiving a kiss.
Though he might let a big sister lead him by the nose, once things reached this point, he was in Xu Qi's territory.
Xu Qi turned around and looked at the beautiful woman before him. Even without makeup, she was still radiant. "The reward I want can't be limited to this."
Sensing the sudden aggression burning in Xu Qi, Liu Qi extended a finger and lightly pressed it against his lips. Curiously, she asked, "Then what else do you need?"
Xu Qi leaned forward slightly, close enough to feel Liu Qi's breath.
She showed no intention of leaning back. In fact...
She quietly withdrew the finger resting against Xu Qi's lips.
Upon seeing this, Xu Qi had no reason to retreat.
