    The leather stool was naturally being used so one could put on footwear conveniently. As the shoe cab was not very big, it was evident that the stool was mostly used when putting on one of a few pairs ofmonly worn shoes for going out.


    Further inside was the spacious living room.


    Though the living room was spacious, it did not look cold and lonely at all. It had been very warmly decorated by Shi Xiaoya.


    It’s just...


    Han Zhuoling totally did not expect that he would step right into her house the moment he got out of the lift.


    He could see everything on the opposite end.


    Han Zhuoling: “...”


    Shi Xiaoya then exined, “This is an apartment where the lift goes straight to your doorstep. I was afraid that if I exined downstairs, you might misunderstand and think that I don’t trust you or I’m guarding against you. That’s why I didn’t want to let you send me up.”


    Or else, how was she supposed to exin?


    <i>Young Master Ling, my house lift opens right into my house, and that’s why it’s not convenient for you to send me?</i>


    <i>Why is it not convenient?</i>


    <i>I don’t want to let you inside my house.</i>


    Wouldn’t that be the conclusion anyone woulde to?


    But she really did not think of it that way.


    She just felt that it was quitete and she was not exactly very close to Han Zhuoling.


    And letting a mature man like him enter her own residence seemed a little weird somehow.


    Han Zhuoling cleared his throat awkwardly. “If there’s anything else next time, you can just tell me straight. I will take it literally and won’t think too much into it.”


    Shi Xiaoya nodded. “Okay.”


    She was being way too obedient like this. Han Zhuoling almost wanted to reach out and pat her fluffy head.


    He finally managed to resist the urge, but now that he was standing at her doorstep, he felt a little conflicted.


    His heart was itching a little. He really wanted to go in and take a look but felt that it was not good for him to suggest it.


    He already said downstairs that he was not going toe in.


    Hising in was an ident.


    Shi Xiaoya thought about it. She felt that since he had already stepped in, it would not seem very nice to just let him go like that.


    Han Zhuoling did not say that he would leave either.


    Shi Xiaoya nced at Han Zhuoling and said, “Why don’t you stay and have a drink before you go?”


    Han Zhuoling rubbed his stomach and said seriously, “Actually, I’m a bit hungry.”


    Shi Xiaoya nced at the time. It was actually only 9 pm now.


    The wee party started at 7 pm and hadsted for only one and a half hours.


    Adding the time they took toe back, it was now only 9 pm.


    “Didn’t you eat dinner already?” Shi Xiaoya had a doubtful expression on her face.


    Han Zhuoling felt that Shi Xiaoya’s face was spelling out the words “Don’t lie to me.”


    “I didn’t eat much,” Han Zhuoling said. “I arrived a littlete to begin with. I was afraid that I would bete for the event, so I ate just a little.”


    Han Zhuoling nced at her and said, “And I was thinking of how you still haven’t forgiven me, so I didn’t have much appetite either.”


    Shi Xiaoya felt so nervous that her ears twitched subconsciously.


    Han Zhuoling thought it was very interesting to watch. He realized the tips of her reddened ears were twitching and resembled those of kittens and puppies. It was really fun to watch.


    Shi Xiaoya could not help puffing her cheeks.


    If someone else had said those words, she’d think they were probably flirting with her.


    But since they came from a man with a mind-blowing IQ and a negative-value EQ like Han Zhuoling, he probably meant them literally.


    How would he know anything about flirting?


    Shi Xiaoya was exining this to herself while reminding herself to certainly not think too much about it. However, she still could not stop her heart from beating increasingly rapidly.


    Han Zhuoling was still waiting for her answer, so Shi Xiaoya said, “Then I’ll see what I can make. You can go in first.”


    Shi Xiaoya took out a pair of men’s slippers from the shoe cab and ced it beside Han Zhuoling’s feet.


    When Han Zhuoling saw that, he instantly narrowed his eyes.


    “You even have a pair of men’s slippers prepared at home?” Han Zhuoling’s voice had turned cold.


    Shi Xiaoya did not sense anything wrong. Why did Han Zhuoling suddenly sound a little displeased?


    She exined, “Sometimes, when I need help and can’t solve it myself, Qin Zigou wille and help me, so I have a pair of men’s slippers at home.”
