Bab 89: When the new guy held her hand

Zi Mei is sitting inside Thorin Loong's car next to him after he coerced her into entering it. Her pulse is racing at his proximity and there is that strong attraction she felt for him. She ignored all these and try not to think about it. So, she is now demanding for answers from him, mostly to distract herself from this strange yearning she has for him. 

"Why are things so different when I came back," she asked. "Also, did we have any babies together?" 

"No, we don't have any babies, although it's not for lack of trying," Thorin replied, winking at her, his voice full of amusement. 

She cleared her throat uncomfortably. Is it hot in the car? Why is she feeling so much heat on her face. She fanned her cheeks for a moment. 

"Then why are things different?" she asked, telling herself to focus and not be distracted by him being so close to her and his allusion to what they must have been doing to 'try' for babies.
