Chapter 23: Chapter 22 A Moment of Heartflutter

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The pupils dilated in an instant.

It wasn’t just Qiao Jing who was stunned, but Zhan Qipei as well.

In fact, compared to Qiao Jing, the tumultuous waves in Zhan Qipei’s heart surged even more intensely.

Because he actually didn’t repel the girl’s lips touching his, but instead felt an indescribable thrill that shot from his brain to every limb.

Under this unspeakable stimulation, Zhan Qipei’s hands started to have a mind of their own, slowly lifting, intending to wrap around the girl’s waist.

Just as his fingers were about to touch the girl’s waist, Qiao Jing suddenly came to her senses from her stupor and pushed Zhan Qipei away with one hand, wiping her mouth.

“Eh—why can’t I push it open? Is something stuck?” Lin Xiuxiang’s muttering echoed from outside the door.

Qiao Jing glanced at Zhan Qipei who was still in a daze, frowned, then stepped aside to make way for Lin Xiuxiang to come in.

“Qiao Qiao, you—” Lin Xiuxiang spoke before noticing Zhan Qipei standing in the room.

“Um, hello there!” Lin Xiuxiang greeted Zhan Qipei.

Lin Xiuxiang had seen Zhan Qipei before at the entrance to the Angel Welfare Institute, Qiao Jing’s temporary husband.

Zhan Qipei politely nodded, still looking somewhat bewildered. He pursed his thin lips and his gaze swiftly and discreetly flitted over Qiao Jing’s lips.

His eyebrows knitted together in thought as he sat down on the sofa. Fingers interlocked and propped against his chin, he pondered the earlier moment when their lips met and the uncontrollable desire of his hands to wrap around the girl’s waist. The more he thought, the tighter his brows twisted…

In the end, he concluded that he must be bewitched.
