Strangers in Public, Tussling in Private: She Was Kissed Until She Cried

[Wealthy families + class divide + powerful man bows to love + bittersweet push and pull + both are virgins]

As Meng Qi passed a doorway, a large hand suddenly shot out.

It clamped around her arm and forcefully dragged her inside.

“Mm...”

Before she could even wonder who would dare act so brazenly on the Jiang family’s turf, she was pulled into a cold, hard embrace.

The familiar scent of cedar brought her relief, but also made her heart pound with nerves.

Of course. Who else in the entire Jiang family would dare do this but him?

“Trying to avoid me?”

The man’s cool voice sounded beside her ear, making Meng Qi shiver.

She answered in a trembling voice,

“No. Jiang Zhebei, let go of me first.”

The audacious man was Jiang Zhebei himself.

He let out a muffled laugh, his large hand already gripping Meng Qi by the waist and pinning her in a corner.

“Why don’t you keep calling me Uncle, hmm?”

Meng Qi could hear the displeasure beneath his calm tone. But with his hand misbehaving, she didn’t dare open her mouth, afraid that any sound would come out as an intimate whimper.

Someone could walk past the door at any moment.

Jiang Zhebei wasn’t afraid, but she certainly was.

She bit down hard on her lower lip.

Yet the man’s fingertip forced its way between her teeth, stopping her from leaving more bite marks on her tender lips.

The room was rather dim.

The cedar scent clinging to the man nearly enveloped Meng Qi. She was so nervous she could hardly breathe.

His rough fingertip traced her soft lips, then slowly continued onward.

But Jiang Zhebei’s expression remained calm. He narrowed his eyes and fixed his gaze on her.

“Are you still going to avoid me?”
