Chapter 405: Chapter 405: Even My First Kiss Wasn’t This Nerve-Wracking

For the first time, I felt that a meal tasted like chewing on wax.

Tang Si pressed his lips together, looked up at Song Yi, his peach blossom eyes intensely dark: "Shall I take you home later?"

Song Yi shook her head: "I drove here."

"Hmm."

The atmosphere suddenly turned silent.

Tang Si ate his meal, glancing up at Song Yi, looking again and again.

He wanted to find a topic but didn’t know where to start.

Not knowing what to talk about, he realized that except for her temperament, he knew pathetically little about her life.

He had even less standing now to ask her to do or answer anything.

Song Yi just kept staring at him, saying nothing.

She knew he was tired; it was written all over his face.

The corners of her mouth moved as she prepared to say she was leaving.

But his voice came to her ears: "How have you been recently?"

He lifted his eyes, his peach blossom eyes quietly fixing on hers: "I mean, work-wise, life-wise."

Song Yi was a bit surprised he would ask this.

But she still answered: "Pretty good."

"That’s good then." His hand holding the chopsticks tightened, noticing Song Yi gathering her bag.

This was the gesture of preparing to leave.

He lowered his gaze: "You can go ahead and get busy."

Song Yi nodded, stood up, didn’t say a word, took her bag, and turned around.

Tang Si suddenly stood up too, his movement a bit urgent, causing the chair behind him to crash to the floor with a "bang".

Song Yi looked back instantly, a momentary alarm in her eyes, thinking something had happened to Tang Si.

Seeing it was just him standing up, her expression calmed down instantly: "What’s wrong?"

"Contact again tomorrow?"

He asked with some uncertainty.

Song Yi looked at him blankly, and after a long pause, gave a three-word answer: "We’ll see."

After speaking, she turned around.

A subtle smile lifted the corners of her mouth.

Tang Si suddenly sighed in relief, thank goodness.

After Song Yi left, he sat down, ready to continue eating, only to realize he’d snapped the chopsticks in his hand in two.

Tang Si rubbed his temples with some amusement.

"The first time I kissed her, I wasn’t even this nervous."

Song Yi got in the car, but didn’t drive off right away; she stayed parked for a long time. It wasn’t until she saw a person’s shadow by the window rise to clean up the dishes that she left.

She was as clear as a mirror inside; she knew Tang Si was always very tired, a kind of fatigue not visible from outside, physical and mental, double-layered pressure.

But this time, his exhaustion was visible to the naked eye,

She was really a bit afraid... afraid he couldn’t bear it.

...

That day, the weather was clear.

Song Yi had just finished her makeup and went downstairs to have breakfast.

In front of the door, Li Wen was already waiting in the car. The sun was quite strong, but it wasn’t hot, as it was already autumn, getting cooler by the day.

Li Wen saw a man in black, wearing a baseball cap, slowly walk up from the back of the car.

He squinted his eyes warily.

This guy looked somewhat hostile, not knowing why he was here.

He sat up straight, adopting a defensive posture.

The man, tall and sturdy, walked straight toward the car, and Li Wen watched as he came to the driver’s side.

"Knock knock knock—" The window was rhythmically tapped by the man.

Li Wen’s heart jumped.

Mentally bracing himself, damn it, what’s there to be afraid of?

In broad daylight, under the sun, he’s a man, what could this man do to him?

Besides, what if he was just asking for directions? Why scare himself like this?

With such a mindset, Li Wen gritted his teeth and rolled down the window.

He deliberately wore sunglasses to cover his actually timid eyes: "Hello, can I help you?"

The man outside, wearing a baseball cap and gold-framed glasses,

Saw Li Wen like this, bent his lips into a smile, with a languid voice said two words: "Get out."

It was only then that Li Wen recognized him, a bit shocked: "Tang, Captain Tang?"

This scholarly yet rogue-like appearance wasn’t immediately recognizable at first.

"You, got nearsighted?"

"Tsk." Tang Si raised a hand, pushing his glasses up slightly with his finger, smiling with a relaxed and lazy demeanor: "Buddy, do me a favor?"

His peach blossom eyes naturally alluring and deep, shining with captivating glances: "I’m pursuing your President Song, can you tell me the location? Let me drive today?"

Li Wen: "But this..."

If President Song knew, she’d kill him.

Tang Si leisurely waved his police badge in his hand, tapping it against the window sill one tap at a time, his other hand tucked into his pants pocket, casually and lazily: "I checked, this car’s illegally parked twice this month, hasn’t settled the fines yet, too busy maybe?"

"I’ll squeeze some time for you today to deal with it?"

Li Wen stared at that glaring police badge tapping on his window sill like a death warrant, such unabashed threat!

With his casual voice again in his ear, those peach blossom eyes gazing at him with a half-smile.

It seemed that if he disagreed, he’d be in serious trouble the next moment.

Besides... he illegally parked?

When did that happen?

Did he just forget about it?

He ultimately relented under Tang Si’s authority, timidly opening the car door: "Then I’ll trouble Captain Tang for this."

He even told Tang Si the address. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

See, this is Tang Si.

Threatens others, but still makes them politely thank you.

He patted Li Wen’s shoulder: "Thanks, I’ll invite you to the wedding banquet when the time comes."

Li Wen: "..." Whether you invite me or not, our President Song will for sure, but now that he’s sold President Song, going to the wedding banquet might lead to his demise.

Tang Si sat in the passenger seat, pulling the cap down low to make sure Song Yi wouldn’t recognize him later.

Song Yi finished eating and came down from upstairs.

Wearing a white wool coat, with a white top underneath, skinny pants, high heels, her hair down and styled in a soft yet subtle makeup.

The woman paced out, face bright and enchanting, each step steady and gentle.

She almost exemplified the word "feminine" to perfection.

Tang Si’s gaze stayed fixated on her.

No doubt, his woman is truly stunning.

Song Yi opened the car door and got in, sitting in the back seat and putting down her bag.

She took her compact mirror and reapplied her lipstick: "Haha, it’s so annoying, every time I go out, it pulls me back, won’t let me leave."

"Probably wants to go out to find a girlfriend, someday I’ll take it to the pet hospital, rearrange my schedule."

Tang Si, muting his voice, replied: "Hmm."

"Hmm?" Song Yi put the mirror and lipstick away, took out her phone: "What happened to your voice? Got a cold?"

"Hmm."

Song Yi didn’t pay much attention, looking down at her phone: "Drive on."

Tang Si started the car.

At that moment, Li Wen came back, seeing the back of the car: "..."

He pondered, even if there were parking fines, they could be handled online!

He was so easily coaxed into getting out of the car.

Li Wen, as an assistant, you’re too careless.

Need to think about how to explain to President Song...

...

In the car.

Song Yi was looking at the information, speaking casually: "There are a few guys this time who aren’t bad, got nice bodies."
