Chapter 1426: 1426

At this hour, he was probably still with Guan Queye . Or, perhaps he was just getting out of Shen Manting’s bed .

As for her, his official wife, he couldn’t give a damn . At that thought, Ye Youyou suddenly recalled Shen Luo’an’s reaction at being cuckolded . He had acted like a raving lunatic—the sort that needed to be admitted to a mental institution .

She wondered, What would his reaction be if he found that I have slept with Li Jinnan twice now? Would he kill me? Or, perhaps he’d grant me a divorce .

As her thoughts progressed, Ye Youyou suddenly realized that she was reveling in a certain sense of satisfaction at having taken revenge . She surprised herself when she came to that realization .

She tried hard to rein in her thoughts . At the same time, the feeling was an indescribable sense of comfort . The sensation was foreign and welcoming . Who knew that being a “bad woman” could be so liberating?

“What are you thinking of?” a low and magnetic voice rumbled like thunder from above her head and reached her ears .

Ye Youyou snapped out of her thoughts and looked up automatically, only to stare right into Li Jinnan’s dark and bottomless eyes . She felt as if her eyes had suddenly been opened . That sensation gave her pause .

She quickly looked away and shook her head . “Nothing . ”

How could it be nothing?

She hadn’t made a sound . Furthermore, his hand was almost embracing her, and she hadn’t seemed to realize it . She had been completely lost in her thoughts .

Li Jinnan didn’t expose her lie . He lowered his arm and held her hand . “What would you like to eat?” he asked .

Ye Youyou instinctively put up a struggle for a moment . When she heard the question, she was surprised and looked at him with doubt in her eyes . “Are you sure you can stomach it?”

Li Jinnan cast a sidelong glance at her and nodded his head, “Yes . ” In truth, he wasn’t used to the Northern cuisine .

However, Ye Youyou believed him . She was a local in the Capital through and through, and she didn’t live far from the area . Naturally, she knew where the good food was and commented, “Let’s go, then . I’ll take you somewhere . Have you tried fermented soymilk before?”

The sourness of fermented soymilk wasn’t something that everyone could enjoy . The thought of Li Jinnan’s possible reaction upon tasting fermented soymilk strangely made Ye Youyou feel a sense of satisfaction .

Li Jinnan didn’t bother with etiquette and rejected her immediately . “I’m not having that . ”

“Didn’t you say you were fine with our cuisine?” Ye Youyou contemptuously asked .

She waved her hand, intending to fling his hand off . But, Li Jinnan’s grip was firm . She couldn’t shake him off at all .

Li Jinnan narrowed his eyes at her and said, “Fermented soymilk is something that the locals can’t even get used to . Stop trying to fool me . ”

Ye Youyou had no retort except, “Will you let go of my hand?”

“The weather is cold . Warm my hands . ” Li Jinnan’s expression didn’t change as he tightened his grip on her hand .

“It’s spring now,” she replied . “You can practically feel the heat!”

“Indeed, I’m on heat,” he said .

Ye Youyou was rendered speechless . It was the first time that she was finding this man hard to deal with .

She struggled a little more . Seeing that it remained ineffective, she gave up altogether .

Ye Youyou was feeling a little uneasy . They were close to her home . If a neighbor caught sight of them, things would get awkward .

She was wary . She turned to ask, “Let’s buy takeout and eat at my place, shall we?”

Li Jinnan was surprised at her invitation, but kept a straight-face as he nodded his head . “Sure . ”

Ye Youyou finally gave a sigh of relief . She picked a random breakfast café and ordered some food before rushing back to her home with quickened steps .

As she stepped into the lift, of course, she met her neighbor . And, it was the most gossipy, loudmouthed one of them all…
