Xu Lai's footsteps were very light. He was standing right behind Ruan Tang before she even noticed him.
Ruan Tang sighed, set her pen down, and raised her arms to stretch. Just then, a pair of hands suddenly wrapped around her slender waist!
Although the movement was gentle and light, it startled Ruan Tang so much that goosebumps broke out all over her body. She was about to scream when a deeply familiar voice whispered in her ear, "Don't be afraid, it's me."
"..."
Ruan Tang instinctively turned her head. Seeing it was Xu Lai, the fear in her heart gradually faded. Still annoyed, she glared with her beautiful eyes. "Do you realize you could have scared me to death!"
"I was afraid of disturbing you, so I kept quiet," Xu Lai said.
Ruan Tang froze, her face growing warm. "So, you saw what I was writing?"
"I saw a little bit," Xu Lai replied. "But if you need me to, honey, I can erase the memory right now."
Ruan Tang covered her face, mortified.
