Cheng Qingchong’s mind slowly recovered from the earlier passion. There was still a lingering smell in the air. She merely took a sniff of it, and her face burned up instantly. She bit on her lips silently before it registered in her mind that she had just done that thing with Qin Yinan in his car atop an isolated hill…
Ever since he left the hospital, he had been nice to her, but he had never once acted out of line. In fact, this was the first time they had ‘been together’ since their marriage. And it was he who initiated it without the influence of alcohol…
But why would he suddenly touch her? Was it because…
Cheng Qingchong had never been in a romantic relationship before and had never been pursued by guys. The kindness Qin Yinan lavished on her gave her the impression on several occasions that perhaps he did like her.
However, that wasn’t a confirmed fact because he had never once told her that before. Therefore, her answer to her own question was that perhaps Qin Yinan did like her to a certain extent, but like usual, she couldn’t confirm it.
The top of the car was still open, and the mountain breeze was a bit chilly. As the heated air dissipated, the temperature in the car dropped. Cheng Qingchong, who was lost in her little thoughts, shivered involuntarily.
“Are you cold?” Qin Yinan, who sensed her shivering, hugged her closer and reached out to grab his coat that was dangling from the window. He wrapped it gently around Cheng Qingchong’s body to shield her from the howling winds.
Following that kind action, Cheng Qingchong returned from her thoughts. She raised her head to look at Qin Yinan. After a small struggle, she still forced herself to ask the question on her mind. “Erm…”
She only got out one word before her face burned up. She lowered her face because she didn’t dare face him. She gathered her courage and forced herself to continue. “…Just now, why did you…”
Cheng Qingchong couldn’t bring herself to say “do that thing with me” due to shyness. Even though she didn’t ask the complete question, Qin Yinan understood what she meant. He reached out to smooth out her tousled hair and answered with a pampering chuckle. “Silly girl, what do you think the reason is?”
Cheng Qingchong’s face reddened even more due to this return-question. Even her breathing had gotten shallow. She could guess what he was hinting at, but she still shook her head wordlessly.
“Still don’t get it?” Qin Yinan lowered his head to place his chin on Cheng Qingchong’s head. His voice was incredibly soft and gentle when he said, “Then let me ask you, Qingchong…’
Qingchong… This is the first time he has called me by name since our marriage…Cheng Qingchong bit her lips tightly when she heard Qin Yinan’s patently soft voice asking, “…Do you like me?”
Cheng Qingchong’s breathing disappeared.
Did he just ask, do I like him? She who had never really considered this question noticed her mind go blank. She hesitated for a long time while he waited patiently. Eventually, she replied in a thin voice, “I don’t know.”
Qin Yinan didn’t reply for a long time. The situation became rather awkward.
Cheng Qingchong, who was flustered earlier, started to feel her heart palpitate with nervousness for some reason.
