Chapter 100: Awkward Aftermath

"Aren't I better than all those other men you mentioned?" Jingwei asked, his hands still wrapped around her waist, fingers idly stroking her back to help her calm down. If he put his hand on her chest, he was sure he would be able to feel the rapid beating of her heart.

Xue Ning did look a bit overwhelmed by his kiss, and it was a huge boost to his ego.

"It was… fine," Xue Ning said, trying to sound calm and unaffected, but she was more breathless than expected, as though she did something more intense than just mere kissing.

Her mind was still whirling at the kiss. 

She could only meet Jingwei's eyes for a split second before looking away, feeling too embarrassed over what had occurred earlier, and her own reactions to him.

What was wrong with her? It was just a kiss! Why was her heart still beating so quickly?
