"Narcissist, who wants to hug you anyway!"
"Then what are you doing right now?" he retorted.
Luo Xiaoqian looked down and saw his chest. She had been so focused on snatching the manuscript that she hadn’t noticed how close she had gotten to his chest, and one of her hands was still damnably wrapped halfway around his waist.
With her face heating up, she hastily withdrew her arm and took two steps back.
"I don’t want it anymore, okay?"
"Not okay!" Leng Zimo sat back at the piano and commanded imperiously, "Two choices: one, kiss me, or two, heat up the chicken soup in the kitchen, serve two bowls on the dining table, and let them cool down!"
"I choose the second one!" Luo Xiaoqian immediately chose the second option without hesitation.
As she walked into the kitchen clutching the manuscript, she carefully placed it in a safe spot, turned on the stove, poured the chicken soup from the thermal pot into the pot to heat it up, and then ladled out two bowls, which she brought out to the dining table to cool properly.
When she returned to the piano room, she stopped at a distance, her gaze fixated on the music sheet in his hands, "Your chicken soup is ready!"
"Go upstairs and wait for me!" Leng Zimo played a measure on the sheet music with one hand.
She walked over and extended her right hand toward him, "The manuscript!"
Leng Zimo lifted his face from the manuscript and glanced sidelong at her, "Did I ever say I would give it back to you?"
Luo Xiaoqian was taken aback.
It seemed he really hadn’t said that.
So what he had just mentioned wasn’t the condition for getting the music back?!
"Leng Zimo, you..." She instinctively cursed out loud but, seeing his eyes quickly grow cold, she forcefully swallowed the word "bastard" that had almost slipped out, "You’re ruthless!"
Turning around, she slammed the door behind her.
Seeing the chicken soup on the dining table, she turned around and walked over to it.
