"You find this amusing?"
Xia Bingqing's face was a mask of annoyance as she hit the steering wheel. "Damn it… I called you for help, not to be ridiculed!"
"Are you trying to die?"
Xia Bingqing snarled, gritting her teeth.
Hearing this, Liu Wenwen quickly stifled her laughter. "Heh heh… in this situation, if you're not embarrassed, then Chen Fan is!"
"I'm telling you, you absolutely cannot feel shy!"
"If you do, you'll never be able to hold your head up again, understand?"
"You mean I should be shameless?" Xia Bingqing asked.
"Shameless… you must be shameless…" Liu Wenwen chuckled, a sly grin on her face. "That's how you handle things like this, got it?"
"Alright… alright!"
Xia Bingqing hesitated, then mentally braced herself. She clenched her fist slightly and muttered to herself, "Shameless, I must be shameless!"
Meanwhile, Liu Wenwen couldn't stop giggling.
She hadn't expected Xia Bingqing to be so forward, even thinking of taking advantage of the situation…
"Oh, Bingqing, you've gotten yourself into quite a mess this time!"
Having finished her mental pep talk, Xia Bingqing hung up and got out of the car, heading back to the rented apartment.
Chen Fan was still playing with his phone when he saw Xia Bingqing. He blinked in surprise.
"General Manager Xia…"
Xia Bingqing sat on the edge of the bed and snorted. "My shoulder's a bit sore, give me a massage!"
The previous awkwardness was overshadowed by Xia Bingqing's sudden boldness.
She appeared completely at ease.
Chen Fan was astonished. "You… you didn't leave?"
Xia Bingqing retorted, "Who said I left? I just went out for some fresh air, alright?"
Gasp!
Chen Fan chuckled, then said, "Weren't you feeling quite awkward earlier?"
"Awkward?" Xia Bingqing snorted, a faint smile playing on her lips. "Why should I be awkward?"
"Uh, this…"
Xia Bingqing moved in swiftly, catching Chen Fan completely off guard.
"What 'uh, this'? Hurry up and massage me, my shoulder is killing me…"
As she spoke, Xia Bingqing also lightly thumped her shoulder.
Chen Fan was speechless but had no choice but to reluctantly comply.
Before long, Xia Bingqing was thoroughly enjoying the massage. She said, "Chen Fan, I've already broken the ice between us. You're mine now!"
"Besides, we have an engagement contract. You can't run away!"
"Of course, you can cancel all your other engagements. I'm willing to wait for you!"
"But as for my engagement to you, you can forget about it, and you can't escape it!"
She was laying her cards on the table again…
The message was clear: "I've decided on you for life, so deal with it!"
Chen Fan rolled his eyes, a thousand wild horses stampeding through his mind. *What the hell is wrong with this woman today? She's pulling out all the stops, one after another!*
*She thinks she's got me cornered?*
Chen Fan said, "General Manager Xia, let's talk this through calmly, you see…"
"Shut up, there's nothing to talk about between us!"
"Talking means discussing marriage!"
"…"
Chen Fan was instantly rendered speechless, cursing her silently… *Xia Bingqing, Xia Bingqing, you're something else. You ruthless woman.*
Xia Bingqing didn't leave that night and stayed in the rented apartment.
This put Chen Fan through considerable torment, making him feel restless. Goosebumps erupted all over him. After all, they were both young, and one wrong move could lead to…
Moreover, Xia Bingqing was so incredibly proactive!
Chen Fan muttered to himself, "Amitabha… Buddha bless me…"
He used a comical method to try and keep his composure!
