Love You Till the End-Chapter 774 - 772: Some Things, You and I Both Know

"Tonight?"

Shi Keke leaned her elbow on the car window, tilted her body to listen to the phone, and made a thoughtful gesture.

"Don’t worry, I’m not going to eat you up. It’s just a simple meal."

Just as Shi Keke hesitated to agree to the other party, the car suddenly slowed down. Then, a long arm stretched over from the side and snatched her phone away without asking.

Before Shi Keke could react, Shi Mei coldly dropped a sentence into the phone: "No time."

Then he hung up and tossed the phone back to her.

Shi Keke turned her head and glanced at him, "Brother, what you did is wrong. Do you know who was calling me? Our boss, a thirty-one-year-old billionaire, tall, rich, and handsome. He has pursued me for three months and twelve days, gifting me flowers, diamonds, and luxury cars, with his feelings for me clear for all heaven and earth to witness. Isn’t such a man suitable to be your brother-in-law?"

At the sound of this, Shi Mei glanced at her sidelong, and countered with a question: "Did you accept all those things he sent you?"

"I did," Shi Keke replied very crisply.

"Return them," his voice cooled a few degrees.

"Why?"

"Aren’t the cars at home enough for you to drive? Aren’t the flowers in the flower bed enough for you to appreciate? Are the pieces of jewelry I’ve given you still lacking?" Shi Mei’s face darkened, his gaze fierce: "Or do you think that the gifts from other men are more meaningful, and you can’t bear to refuse them?"

Shi Keke didn’t like his last remark, so she resisted: "You are right, I just can’t bear to refuse. Who doesn’t want to hold on to a good man?"

As soon as her words fell, Shi Mei hit the brakes, bringing the car to a stop.

He turned his head to look at her, his eyes dark and heavy, his voice slightly threatening: "Say it again."

Shi Keke was quite cooperative, "I said, I just can’t bear to refuse!"

His inscrutable eyes turned darker, seemingly emanating a dangerous aura; he kept his face cold and his voice very low: "Say it again."

Shi Keke met his gaze: "I simply can’t refuse, can’t refuse the pursuit of a good man, can’t refuse..."

Before she could finish her words, Shi Mei grabbed her chin with his hand, the force so strong it felt as if he could crush her bones.

Shi Keke felt the pain, but she didn’t cry out; a smile on her face, ambiguous in its meaning.

The two remained in a standoff for about two minutes before Shi Mei relaxed his grip slightly, allowing Shi Keke the opportunity to speak.

"Brother, have you ever watched a soap opera?" she asked a rather abrupt question.

Shi Mei did not speak, with no intention of answering her; his eyes as cold as ice, utterly penetrating.

"You definitely haven’t seen one." Shi Keke said with a smile: "Then let me enlighten you. Usually, after the male lead and the female lead argue in a soap opera, one of three things happens. One, they break up; two, they stop talking to each other; three, there’s a forceful kiss. If the male lead is domineering enough, then he either pins the female lead against the wall or does something like what you just did. That is, after pinching her chin, comes a passionate kiss."

She paused, then added: "But we are not suitable, you are my brother. If you were to force a kiss on me, that would be incest."

The hand on her chin tightened slightly, Shi Mei’s eyes grew even darker, flickering with an ominous light, "Shi Keke, stop playing dumb with me. Some things, we both understand perfectly."
