Chapter 485: Chapter 485 Mutually Calculating

"What did you just say, Xu Ke? Say it again, I want to hear it." Ariel suddenly sat up from Xu Ke’s lap, looking shocked as she playfully pleaded for him to say it again.

"Xu Ke, say it again, I like hearing you say things like that, say it once more." Ariel tugged on Xu Ke’s arm, practically burying herself in his embrace, determined not to give up until he repeated it. Xu Ke, unable to resist her pestering, had no choice but to comply and say it again.

"Speak louder, your voice is too soft, I didn’t hear it." Although Xu Ke said it again, Ariel was still not satisfied. She continued to cling to Xu Ke, remaining nestled in his arms until he said it once more.

Xu Ke looked into Ariel’s eyes, hooked his hand around her neck, drawing her infinitely closer, and whispered in her ear, "You can’t like anyone else, you can only like me."

The warm breath from Xu Ke’s words brushed against Ariel’s ear, turning her whole face as red as an apple.

Ariel reached out to rub her flushed ear and said, "That’s more like it."

"Have you finished eating?" Xu Ke asked, somewhat searching for conversation as his chin stayed tight.

"Finished."
