Sweet Time Only for You: The Entanglement between Mr. Lu and Miss Song-Chapter 85: Thick Scent of Jealousy

Feeling a surge of anger, Song Yinyin retorted, "Excuse me, what does it have to do with Mr. Lu whether he’s my childhood friend or not!"

"Of course it matters."

Lu Jihan’s voice grew even colder: "I don’t want to marry a woman who’s thinking about another man."

"..." Song Yinyin was stunned again.

Was it her imagination? She inexplicably sensed a strong scent of jealousy in the air?

No, no, no, how could Lu Jihan be jealous over her?

Just as he said, he simply didn’t want to marry a woman who had feelings for another man.

If it were her, naturally, she wouldn’t want the man she marries to have another ’her’ in his heart.

But why was her heart suddenly racing?

This was crazy...

"Why aren’t you speaking? Did I hit the mark?" The man spoke again, the accusation clear in his voice.

Song Yinyin furrowed her brows and looked up at him.

Lu Jihan’s gaze was cold yet focused, giving Song Yinyin the feeling of being scrutinized, a feeling which made her uncomfortable.

She immediately replied, "He really is my childhood friend, but whatever was between us is over. I have completely forgotten about everything six years ago, and we won’t see each other again."

Song Yinyin straightened her back, her expression calm and not at all guilty. This was her honest thought, and she had just said it.

Lu Jihan examined her face and a few seconds later softened his demeanor, "That’s what you said."

Song Yinyin glared at him and turned to leave.

However, her slender wrist was suddenly grabbed.

She was taken aback and tried to pull her hand back while looking over her shoulder.

But she couldn’t pull it back because Lu Jihan had no intention of letting go.

"What are you trying to do? Let go!" Song Yinyin softly reprimanded, feeling her ears starting to heat up. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Yet every time she tried to yank her hand back, he would grip her wrist even tighter.

He even...

Brazenly teased her...

Lightly stroking the back of her hand with his calloused thumb, occasionally tracing her palm with his fingertips...

This man! What on earth was he doing?

But the next moment, she heard him speak softly, "The three-day deadline is almost up. Have you thought about it?"

Huh?

Song Yinyin’s mind went blank for a moment.

Two seconds later she realized, he was talking about considering a relationship and marriage with him.

"I, I haven’t... made up my mind yet..." Song Yinyin’s heart pounded as she felt Lu Jihan’s gaze still on her face.

Thankfully, Lu Jihan didn’t press further, nor did he say anything else. He just stared at her for a few more seconds before leaving her with, "I hope you’ll give me a definite answer tomorrow."

With those words, he released her slender wrist and returned to the restaurant with his hands in his pockets.

In that instant, Song Yinyin felt the dizziness she had before going to the restroom return.

After that, her mind was in chaos, Lu Jihan’s words echoing in her ears: I hope you’ll give me a definite answer tomorrow.

So much so, that after she returned to the restaurant, she couldn’t calm down.

After dinner, Song Yinyin took her son for a bath.

Da Bai held Lu Jihan’s large hand with his other hand, warmly inviting, "Daddy, let’s go take a bath together!"

Song Yinyin was shocked to the point where her scalp prickled.

How could that be?!

Every time she bathed her son, she was fully prepared, often getting herself completely soaked too. If Lu Jihan saw that, wouldn’t it be awkward?
