"Shut up," He Lanjin said. She quickly turned around and covered Qiao Hanye's mouth, afraid that the night shift employees would hear them. Qiao Hanye looked at her furtively, and his eyes shining with shrewd calculation.

Qiao Hanye deliberately shouted, knowing that He Lanjin did not want to draw any attention. If he made noise, she would naturally return to his side to cover his mouth.

He Lanjin only realized what Qiao Hanye was doing when she was already beside him, covering his mouth. Why did she keep falling into his trap? Seeing Qiao Hanye looking intently at her, He Lanjin felt her mouth and tongue go dry. She covered his eyes with her palm and said, "Don't use your face to seduce me."

"Yes," Qiao Hanye replied without missing a beat. "From now on, I'll listen to everything you say."

The cold wind blew as the two walked out of the studio. He Lanjin rubbed her arms to shield herself from the chill.

"Here," Qiao Hanye said as he draped his coat over her shoulders.

He Lanjin was tall, but she looked much smaller with Qiao Hanye's coat wrapped around her. "Aren't you cold?" she asked, noticing that Qiao Hanye was wearing clothes made of thin fabric.

"Why should men be afraid of a little cold weather?" Qiao Hanye said. "What men are secretly most afraid of is not meeting the love of their life." He took He Lanjin's cold hands and warmed them in his.

"Aiya, Mr. Qiao, you make it sound so nice." He Lanjin said, amused. "Are you this scared you wouldn't be able to get yourself a wife?"

"There are more men than women in our society today, which is why many men like you stay single. But I find it really hard to believe that you can't find a wife with that face. You are so handsome women would practically throw themselves at you with legs wide open."

Qiao Hanye wordlessly held He Lanjin's hand, his fingertips brushing against the diamond ring she was wearing.

He Lanjin playfully leaned on Qiao Hanye and asked in a soft voice, "Don't tell me you have a hidden illness you don't want people to know..."

He Lanjin suddenly thought of Qin Nan, who would not last a day without a girl by his side. She even suspected him of being the reincarnation of a stallion.

Qiao Hanye, on the other hand, was Qin Nan's opposite. He Lanjin had been living in Jing Garden for some time now, but she had never once seen Qiao Hanye with a woman. His bedroom, which was unbelievably simple, was proof that he was indeed single.

"Mr. Qiao, why do you want to gain my favor?" He Lanjin asked curiously. Was Qiao Hanye after the He family, just like Lu Zifan?

Qiao Hanye pursed his lips and said in a low voice, "Because I'm someone who wants you."

"Pfft! You, want me?" He Lanjin was so shocked that she stepped away from Qiao Hanye. She put her hands behind her as she scrutinized him like a military officer inspecting a new recruit.

"How many women have you been with in the past?"

"I've never been with a woman." Qiao Hanye answered, his voice serious. He was telling the truth; he had never been with anyone.

"Really?" He Lanjin said, unable to believe what she just heard.

"I never had feelings for anybody before. I never liked, never wanted anybody. But now, all I want is in front of me. You are enough." Qiao Hanye said. He walked after He Lanjin and fell into step with her. He watched as his shadow, elongated by the streetlights, joined hers.

He Lanjin slyly narrowed her eyes. "The great Qiao Hanye likes me? Sure."

"Let's see how much," He Lanjin said. "You see, there is a courtyard nearby. Inside the courtyard are hundreds of vicious dogs. This courtyard is owned by a very mysterious man who owns peach trees that bloom in winter. Would you dare go inside the courtyard and bring me one lucky peach blossom?"

He Lanjin did not intend to make Qiao Hanye take the risk of being attacked by vicious dogs; she was merely teasing him. She wanted to see if he would get scared.

"Really?" Qiao Hanye said as he walked forward. "Peach blossoms in winter, huh?"

He Lanjin continued walking as they passed the courtyard, and was about three steps ahead when she noticed that Qiao Hanye had stopped walking. "Wait for me," Qiao Hanye said ambiguously.
