There were about two meters of distance between them. She watched him draw closer step by step, his lips tightly pressed together and no light in his gaze.

Qiao Moyu suddenly felt timid, and couldn’t help but take a few steps back.

How come Ye Peicheng looked like he wanted to eat her right now? She didn’t even agree to Xing Yichen; also, she even stepped on him!

There was no sound in the hallway. Qiao Moyu was constantly retreating backwards, all the way until she reached the end of the hallway and could dodge no further.

Qiao Moyu licked her lips, and just as she was about to say something, Ye Peicheng opened his mouth: “I thought that you really walked away with him.”

He was finally willing to talk. Qiao Moyu thought that the atmosphere was finally leavening, and faced him with a smile: “I followed him so that I could step on him. Just now, he probably felt pained to death, so if he comes back in a moment to beat me up, you have to protect me!”

After she said that, she suddenly thought that what she said was probably as unreasonable as it could get. After all, in the video last time, she had broken two of the guy’s bones. In this lifetime, she probably will never be able to be linked with a weak little bird.

However, the man in front of her loosened up, his voice low and unhurried: “Okay, I will protect you.”

The words that Qiao Moyu was about to follow up with got stuck in her throat.

It seems like he was really chasing her? This was the feeling of being liked by someone?

Before she sorted everything out in her head, Ye Peicheng reached out and propped his hand next to Qiao Moyu’s face. He leaned over, surrounding Qiao Moyu with a feeling of oppression. “Then, for the account of making me feel bad just now, how should I collect the debt?”

Qiao Moyu stayed silent. Hadn’t this matter already been explained? After all, she had gone along with Xing Yichen purely for the purpose of tricking him.

She shrank her neck and smiled at him: “We’re part of the same Taoist school. Is there a need to make a fuss?”

He saw her appearance of wanting to change the topic. His eyes were deep: “However, I do want to make a fuss about it.”

He talked while gnashing his teeth. Just now, his heart was really filled with negative feelings.

At that moment, he had thought that she had truly decided to walk away with another man. Flames of fury had welled up, accompanied by a suffocating feeling of loss.

It was the first time he liked a girl and wanted to be with her. Yet, he was met with the sight of the girl leaving with another man right in front of him. He didn’t know how much effort he spent in controlling himself, preventing himself from snatching the person away from Xing Yichen and giving Xing Yichen a good beating.

Fortunately, the person came back. She had substituted him in beating Xing Yichen.

However, the uncomfortable feelings that had welled up in his heart had no way of extinguishing by itself.

Ye Peicheng stared into Qiao Moyu’s eyes, enunciating every word: “I want you to repay me now!”

Saying that, he locked his hand behind Qiao Moyu’s neck and pressed down on her lips.

Qiao Moyu was extremely shocked and instinctively tried to push him away. However, the man in front of her seemed to be very strong, rendering her unable to shake him off.

While still in the midst of her tangled thoughts, Ye Peicheng had already pried open her mouth, forcing her to entangle with him

An alarm started ringing in her brain. Qiao Moyu had absolutely no clue on what she should do. She even thought to the extent where the idea that since they had kissed while filming before anyways, another kiss wasn’t much popped up.

It was at that moment that the elevator gave a clear ‘ding’ again. The elevator door opened, and Xing Yichen walked out with a black face.

However, after walking out a few steps, he suddenly had a thought. Perhaps Qiao Moyu and Ye Peicheng were just cooperating with each other! Just now, it could’ve just been a skit acted by the two of them!

Therefore, since there was no light on the surface, he wanted to go back and take a clear look.

After all, some things could only be fully believed after being seen clearly.

Little did he know that once he exited the elevator, he would see the two people kissing in the corner.
