Your Devil Horns Are Already Sprouting Out
Yu Feibai smiled politely and nodded. “It’s not bad!”
Gu Youli realized that other than a slight frown at the start, he did not show any more expressions and still remained aloof and elegant.
She felt that she had not gotten enough reaction from him.
Hence, she put a vegetable into the hot pot. It would absorb more chili oil than the mushroom. To Yu Feibai, Gu Youli who was sitting right opposite him was just like a little devil.
She was the first woman who dared to play tricks on him. By right, he should be angry at her but he realized that he was in a very good mood, instead.
It seemed that he was a little masochistic!
Gu Youli was cooking the vegetable while imagining Yu Feibai’s expression after he ate it. It would be thrilling to see him jump out of his chair.
Suddenly, she let out a laugh.
“Go ahead and laugh. Your devil horns are already sprouting out.” The man’s low voice rang beside her ear.
Startled, Gu Youli lifted her gaze and met Yu Feibai’s indulgent expression. His dark pupils were like black holes that would suck one in, leaving no chance for escape.
Her little face suddenly blushed and her heart skipped a beat on its own.
Gu Youli had been defeated. It was obvious that he had seen through her ploy!
Yu Feibai was such a sharp person. Because of his army background, he had keen observation skills. That was also the reason why he could recall their previous meeting so clearly when they met for just the second time.
In that case, how could he have not seen through her actions at this moment?
She lifted her hand and beckoned the shop owner. “Boss, bill please!”
Since he had already detected it, there was no point continuing with the prank. This person was a senior officer. She couldn’t possibly offend him, openly.
Yu Feibai propped his head on his hand as he said, “Back to the previous place?”
Gu Youli nodded, defeatedly. Although it had been posed as a question, she could sense the overbearing aura that would not allow her to say no.
This man was too imposing!
The car drove on for quite a while before they stopped at the private restaurant where they had eaten previously.
Gu Youli followed Yu Feibai into the restaurant with a meek countenance.
They did not sit in the restaurant’s hall tonight though. Instead, Yu Feibai asked for a private dining room and for a bottle of red wine.
The moment the bottle was opened, the room was filled with its intoxicating fragrance.
Yu Feibai poured a glass for Gu Youli and passed it to her.
The stem of the glass was very thin and it was unavoidable for their hands to touch when she took it from him.
As Gu Youli extended her hand to receive it, the seemingly cold but actually warm fingers made her heart skip a beat.
Before she had a proper grip on the wine glass, she retracted her hand without realising it.
The wine glass almost dropped. Luckily, Yu Feibai’s quick reaction saved the wine glass from falling.
At the same time, he grabbed Gu Youli’s hand and put it in her hand. “Be careful.”
His cold tone had an undetectable gentleness in it.
Gu Youli held the wine glass with both hands and quickly moved them away to avoid any more physical contact with Yu Feibai.
She took the glass straight to her mouth and took a sip of the wine, as though she was trying to compose herself.
Not only the wine’s smell but its taste was also really intoxicating. Gu Youli took a sip and could feel the flavor burst in her mouth. It seemed as though there was a sublime orange scent in it.
However, it was smooth and fine like coffee.
It was surely more aromatic than any other red wine she had drunk before.
Yu Feibai poured a glass for himself, picked it up, and swiveled it in his hand. But he did not drink it. Instead, he asked Gu Youli, “Where are you going to play during the national day holiday?”
