NovelEnglishChapter 234: 172 Scumbag (3 more updates) Qi Zeyan tapped his fingertips on his knee. After a while, he hesitated before speaking, “Xiaoruan, cin within a moment and act like we're close. She's an understanding person. She'll probably get the picture without us having to say much." "This..." Ruan Mengxi gripped the steering wheel with a solemn expression, "Boss Qi, this doesn't seem quite right." Pretending to be troubled, but in her heart, she was already overjoyed.
In fact, she had hinted clearly enough about the approach, but she definitely couldn't be the one to suggest it, so she had been waiting.
"There's nothing wrong with it.” "She's the Xie family's young miss. As for me..." Ruan Mengxi bit her lip, "Won't she causetrouble in private?" "If she comes for you, cto me. It'll be like you worked overtime. On the standard pay for overtat the company, I'll give you triple." "Thank you, boss." Could there be anything better in this world than getting closer to the person you like? ** After they arrived at the restaurant, they entered one after the other. Qi Zeyan was used to walking ahead, striding forward until he almost reached the private room, when someone grabbed his sleeve. He turned his head to find Ruan Mengxi tightly clutching his sleeve.
"What's the matter?" "Weren't we supposed to..." Ruan Mengxi pursed her lips.
Qi Zeyan, who had never dated a girl before, found this method a bit too much. "Do you have a boyfriend?" "No!" Ruan Mengxi shook her head immediately.

He was not slecher who would take advantage of any situation; he still knew how to behave appropriately. Ruan Mengxi was bewildered. What kind of hand-holding was this? Aren't couples supposed to interlock fingers? His grip made it seem like a parent tugging at a child.
Even through the fabric, Ruan Mengxi could distinctly feel the warmth from his palm, tightly circling her own, as if something had gently seized her heart, making it beat outside of her control.
She hastened her pace to keep up with his.
Upon reaching the private room and opening the door, Xie Tongtong promptly stood up with a welcoming smile, "Young Master Qi..." However, seeing the person by his side and the hands they held together, her heart skipped a beat. Still, due to good upbringing, she managed not to show it on her face.
"I brought a friend, hope you don't mind," Qi Zeyan said straightforwardly.
"Not at all, please sit," Xie Tongtong smiled, "Sorry, I assumed it would be just the two of us, so I only ordered two drinks." "It's no problem. I'm the one who's interrupting,” Ruan Mengxi cunningly observed Xie Tongtong, only to marvel at her impressive poise.
Since Qi Zeyan lacked dating experience and their pretense wasn't genuine, he was not consciously playing the boyfriend role and instinctively was about to release her hand...
It was Ruan Mengxi who felt the grip on her wrist loosen and, instinctively, she held onto his hand. Her hand seemed so delicate in comparison, lightly grasping his fingers.
Her palm was too hot, her body slightly feverish, which caused Qi Zeyan's heart to skip a beat.
The hand of the young girl was quite different from his—delicate and soft, stirring an indiscernible feeling in him. Humans are very sensitive in nature. Her palm, scorching, her body covered in a thin layer of sweat, clung tightly to his...
Ruan Mengxi knew it was all an act, yet had instinctively clung to him, which now left her feeling panicked. Was she being too eager, too forward? Just as she was about to let go, Qi Zeyan suddenly enclosed her fingers with his own, capturing her hand in that instant...

Ruan Mengxi felt as if she had grasped the entire world, ittle stewhat felt like a a chugging wildly inside her, turning her entire face red with excitement. "Don't be nervous, just follow my lead," Qi Zeyan thought the sweat on her palm was due to nervousness from their act and comforted her.
But she was, in fact, thrilled! Ruan Mengxi nodded with a flushed face.
This scene, witnessed by Xie Tongtong, held a different meaning. Being a woman herself, she could tell that Ruan Mengxi liked Qi Zeyan, and the closeness he displayed as he leaned over to whisper in her ear revealed mutual affection; there was no place for herself in this equation. "What's your honorable surname, miss?" Xie Tongtong was the epitof grace and dignity, still smiling amiably as she spoke.
At this point, they had already taken their seats, and naturally, hands were released. Ruan Mengxi surreptitiously wiped the sweat from her palms; perhaps because she used to be overweight, she would sweat easily with any movement, and she still did, having a constitution prone to perspiration.
