Chapter 1593: When Are You Going To Marry Me?

“Where does this confidence come from?” Ye Youyou couldn’t resist retorting. “How do you know those aren’t some tall and mighty spirits who are in love with you?”

“Hm…” Li Jinnan was silent for a moment in deep thought. After a long pause, he finally replied, “Even if they like do like me, I have a woman of my own. I won’t reciprocate.”

“What if they’re prettier than I am?” Ye Youyou asked.

Li Jinnan looked as if he were in a dilemma. With a frown, he replied, “Well, I guess I’ll just have to…”

When Ye Youyou saw that he was even entertaining such a thought, she grew annoyed. She reached her hand out to hit him. “What are you thinking of?” she asked.

“I guess I’ll just have to show that I’m even taller and mightier than they are so they’ll have no choice but to back off and stop harassing me,” Li Jinnan replied.

Ye Youyou turned her head away with a harrumph and refused to look at him.

Li Jinnan chuckled. When he saw his car in the distance, he said, “Feel pockets for my car keys and help me retrieve them.”

Ye Youyou still refused to look at him, but she reached her hand out into Li Jinnan’s pant pocket and felt around for the keys.

Li Jinnan had vastly overestimated his own self-control. As Ye Youyou’s delicate hand made its way around his pocket, it stroked the inside of his thigh. He felt as if an electrical current had shot through him.

His whole body froze, and his arms carrying her tightened. An indescribable heat rushed up. Li Jinnan forcibly swallowed. His throat bobbed with the action, and his mouth went dry.

Ye Youyou hadn’t realized anything. She fished the keys out of his pocket and held them in her hand.

The car door was opened by remote control. Li Jinnan placed Ye Youyou inside the front passenger seat.

He went over to the driver’s seat. Without even bothering to buckle up, Li Jinnan turned his head and looked at his woman.

His gaze was burning hot. When Ye Youyou saw it, the hair on her skin stood on its ends. She stammered out, “What… What are you doing?”

Li Jinnan had no intention of giving her any explanation. Leaning over slightly, he had her confined in the passenger seat. He reached his hand out to hold her head and lowered his lips onto hers.

He couldn’t restrain himself. He would have loved nothing more than to make love to her there and then, especially considering the panic and anxiety he had been through the past few days. However, his rational mind soon won over. He stopped. Using all the effort he could muster to restrain himself, he abruptly released her and returned to his own seat.

Ye Youyou had no time to react. From the moment he had advanced on her to the moment he had released her, she had been in stunned stupor. She turned her head and saw that Li Jinnan had already latched his seatbelt. He reached his hand over toward her. Her eyes widened as she looked at him.

Li Jinnan paused in his action. The line on his jaw tightened. With that, he reached his hand forward.

Just as Ye Youyou thought that he was about to make another move on her, his hand headed right behind her and pulled the seatbelt down.

A click sounded. Li Jinnan started the car immediately after. Their present location was some distance away from when Li Jinnan was residing.

Ye Youyou leaned back into the car seat and slowly drifted off to sleep.

The urgent need to return that Li Jinnan had possessed a few moments before slowly ebbed off when he saw that she had fallen asleep. He decreased the car speed. The vehicle became steadier.

Li Jinnan stopped the car in the parking lot and carefully reached in to carry Ye Youyou out. She was thoroughly exhausted. Even as she was carried in his arms, she showed no signs of waking up.

He carried his woman in his arm and entered the passcode into the door lock. Just as he was about to head in, Ye Youyou reached out to put her arms around his neck.

It was unclear if she was speaking in her sleep or alert, but in a low voice, she asked, “When are you going to marry me?”
