The air conditioning was clearly on in the car, yet the stuffiness of summer still crept in bit by bit.
Yu Xia felt like she was being suffocated by a beast devouring her whole.
After a while, Xie Qingci finally let her go.
Breathing heavily, he stared at her with his dark eyes. His hand released her leg and moved to grasp her hand, his fingers trailing from the back of her hand to her fingernails.
Yu Xia was like a snake whose bones had been extracted, flopping weakly into the seat, her watery eyes glaring at him, her voice stammering as she spoke.
"You're too bold, my assistant is coming back soon!"
Xie Qingci chuckled: "Then let them come. They'll get a good look at how you're manipulating me behind the scenes."
"..." She was incredulous, glaring at him again, "Are you turning the tables on me?"
Was she really the one doing the manipulating here? She was being forced, wasn't she!
