Chapter 1242 Reluctance

• Finally, Yan blurted everything she wanted to say in a single breath. When she was done speaking, she exhaled and stared at Han Qing, her gaze seemingly threaded with a hint of challenge.
• Han Qing was slightly stunned, for he’d never known that she had such a crafty side to her. Since she wanted to play with him, he didn’t mind teasing her. His hand that was initially wiping her sweat away had slid down to rest on her shoulder, and after hearing her words now, he simply moved his hand to press against the back of her fair neck, holding her. “What did you say earlier? I didn’t hear you clearly, so can you repeat that?”
• Yan was struck speechless. His hand was gripping the back of her neck, so the warmth of his hand seeped into her body without any barrier between them, and the situation now seemed as though he was threatening her. Thus, she dared not say anything further and merely blinked her eyes at him without answering him.
