Chapter 201: Chapter 201: Hmm, She Dotes on Him

```

The deep and resonant voice was like an elegant cello being slowly drawn, sexier than any sound He Jinxia had heard before, softening her heart further and making her eyes curve into a smile.

She realized she seemed to have a wicked taste, particularly wanting to see Sheng Yan seriously recite sweet nothings to her.

The man’s face was accustomed to being stern, and his voice tended towards being cool and detached, making it feel discordant when he said certain things, with a blend of awkwardness and rawness.

But some phrases, once he said them often enough, he grew used to, and his face could produce the corresponding expressions, especially his skill in speaking sweet nothings which really shot up from "beginner" to "entering the room."

"So, do you think I’m cute?" He Jinxia continued to ask with a smile, her voice soft, with a hint of seduction.

Sheng Yan softened his facial expression, slowed down his voice, and said even more gently, "Mhm."

He Jinxia, "Don’t just say mhm."

Sheng Yan’s mouth curved into a faint smile, his face carrying a helpless yet doting look, "Cute."

He Jinxia, "Am I cute or is the doll cute?"

Sheng Yan paused, "You’re cute."

He Jinxia, "You’re lying, how can a person be cuter than a doll?"

Sheng Yan changed tack, "You’re as cute as a doll."

He Jinxia, "You don’t love me anymore, in your heart I’m only as good as a doll."

Sheng Yan, "..."

If an emoticon could pop up to show his emotions at that moment, it would definitely be — [Driven Mad.jpg]!!

A "pfft" sound came to his ears, and looking up, He Jinxia couldn’t hold back her laughter any longer, tilting her head back, her eyes curved like a crescent moon, laughing heartily.

Noticing Sheng Yan’s gaze, she tried to suppress her laughter a bit, coughed lightly a few times, and then said, "This is a joke I saw online earlier, about the moments when guys are driven crazy by their girlfriends. I thought it was really funny."

Sheng Yan raised an eyebrow, "So, you weren’t really concerned about whether you’re cuter or the doll is?"

He Jinxia shook her head, and looking into Sheng Yan’s deep gaze, a bad premonition suddenly surged in her heart. She turned her head away to change the subject, "I’m hungry, let’s go out to eat."

A shadow suddenly approached He Jinxia, enveloping her body, and the hot breath rained down from above, bringing an overwhelming pressure.

Sheng Yan extended a hand, very slowly and lightly touching the corner of her mouth, caressing it, just like the scene they had filmed that afternoon.

The same gesture, but in different settings, the two performed it with completely different styles.

One was like a high and mighty being bestowing indifference upon an ant, the other was... intimacy between lovers?

He Jinxia had no choice but to tilt her head back, trying to put some distance between her and Sheng Yan, feeling that the situation was very dangerous.

The man spoke lightly, "At seven I messaged you, asking you not to wait for me and to eat first, Director Li pulled me aside last minute, so I’ll probably be very late getting back."

The man’s tone shifted, "You didn’t reply to my message."

Only then did He Jinxia lift her head to check the clock on the wall, realizing it was already past nine!

She clutched the pillow tightly, feigning calm, "I had fallen asleep at that time."

As she finished speaking, she added, "I haven’t eaten yet either!"

Sheng Yan hummed softly, propping one hand against the headboard and with the other, he tugged at his collar, loosening a few buttons on his shirt. He looked at He Jinxia leisurely before speaking,

"I haven’t eaten either. It’s too late for me to cook after getting back, so I had Zhang Ming take out some dishes from a restaurant."

```

He Jinxia dodged his gaze, her voice slightly hurried, "Then let’s hurry up and go eat."

She reached out to push Sheng Yan in front of her, intending to stand up, but the man lowered his body and pressed her down again.

Those pitch-black eyes were like deep black holes, as if they were going to suck in her soul, from which she couldn’t escape.

He Jinxia’s expression stalled, and even when she turned her head away, her brain still had a moment of blankness.

Sheng Yan reached out, slightly lifted her chin, and forced her to meet his gaze head-on, his voice low, "What should I do, I only want to ’eat’ you now."

He Jinxia blinked, somewhat at a loss, her body trembling lightly, her heart painfully nervous, mixed with a different emotion within her anxiety, unable to tell if it was anticipation or fear, perhaps both.

Her reaction to Sheng Yan was like a little fox trembling in trepidation, her aqua-colored eyes shimmering, wanting to push him away but not daring to, not willing to, her face full of restrained emotion.

Sheng Yan’s eyes grew darker, a violent emotion rising in his heart, his hand gently caressing the woman’s chin... That pitiable expression was really tempting one to commit a crime.

But this was not what he wanted.

Sheng Yan squeezed Jinxia’s face a bit harder, as if to relieve something, then after squeezing it, afraid that she might be in pain, he gently rubbed it, and then moved back a bit, allowing He Jinxia to leave.

He Jinxia was stunned, a trace of confusion crossing her eyes.

Sheng Yan’s low and husky voice sounded, "Get up, let’s go eat together."

He Jinxia: ???

She looked at Sheng Yan, whose complexion seemed a bit uncomfortable. She didn’t understand; wasn’t it said that modern times were very open, that women didn’t have to be like in the past with the Three Obediences and Four Virtues, remaining devoted to one man for life.

She had thought that Sheng Yan was going to...

Perhaps the confusion was all too apparent on He Jinxia’s face, Sheng Yan couldn’t help but reach out and rub her head, his voice low, "Don’t think too much, it’s not the time yet."

After a pause in his words, he bent down and whispered something into Jinxia’s ear, causing He Jinxia’s face to instantly flush with a beautiful red, as she shyly nodded her head.

After dinner, the hands of the clock were already pointing to the number "11".

No matter how reluctant two lovers in the throes of a passionate romance are, they must part ways.

Before leaving, He Jinxia suddenly took the initiative to hug Sheng Yan, her lips parting slightly, as if she wanted to say something.

Sheng Yan waited extremely patiently. After a while, seeing her so tangled, he couldn’t help but smile lightly, stroked the hair at her temples, and said softly, "Jinxia, I’m not in a hurry."

He Jinxia turned red in the face. Where was this man’s mind going? She hadn’t meant that!

She gave a gentle twist to the soft flesh at his waist and bade him goodnight.

After Sheng Yan left, He Jinxia lay in bed and belatedly realized how Sheng Yan had been able to open the room—he didn’t have a card key.

With the mindset that questions should be asked, He Jinxia slightly curved her lips and opened WeChat to send him a message.

Just returning to his room, Sheng Yan heard the sound from his phone, picked it up, and a faint smile crossed his lips as he sent a voice message, "If I say the hotel management gave me a Universal Card, would you believe me?"

He Jinxia pondered seriously for a while and typed one character: "Believe."

Soon, Sheng Yan sent back a voice message, "It really was given to me by the hotel management."

He Jinxia huffed lightly and didn’t reply to him, setting her phone aside.

Although she didn’t know why the hotel would give that card to Sheng Yan, since they gave it, it was done. Why did he sound a little smug, though...

He Jinxia turned over, but after all, she indulged him.
