Chapter 10: Song Yunfei, Are You Having an Affair? (2/2)

But I’m not the original host!

Song Yunfei’s lips twitched for a good while before she managed to force out an awkward smile.

“Did we... actually sleep together?”

Instead of answering, Chu Jinhan threw the question right back at her: “What do you think?”

Song Yunfei grumbled internally. If I knew, would I even be asking?!

She felt absolutely nothing at all.

Judging by Chu Jinhan’s usual cold attitude toward her, she leaned heavily toward the assumption that nothing had actually happened.

If Chu Jinhan were willing to touch her, then with the half year they had lived together, she probably would have been pregnant with his child by now. Why would he wait until she was dead drunk?

As her mind raced, Song Yunfei caught his sharp, probing gaze, and her heart skipped a beat.

She puffed out her chest and put on a stern front: “What are you looking at me for?! I don't remember a single thing—what’s wrong with asking?”

Chu Jinhan observed her without making a sound, his eyes wandering across her face.

Under his intense gaze, the confidence on Song Yunfei’s face grew weaker and weaker by the second.

“Y-You... why are you still staring—”

Before she could finish her sentence, her body suddenly rocked violently forward.

Along with her stool, she was pulled directly in front of him, instantly closing the distance between them.

She could clearly see the individual, distinct eyelashes of the man—and even the faint, delicate lines on his lips.

Chu Jinhan raised his eyes slightly, his cold gaze peering through his lashes to rest on her lips.

Immediately after, his gaze slowly drifted upward to lock directly onto her eyes, an overwhelming wave of danger instantly enveloping her.

“Then... do you want to experience it again?”

With the two of them so close, his hot breath brushed against Song Yunfei’s face, carrying a subtle minty scent of toothpaste.

Song Yunfei froze completely, a loud buzzing ringing in her head as her mind went entirely blank.

She suddenly couldn't wrap her head around what this man was trying to do.

He used to avoid her like the plague, yet today he was taking the initiative so boldly.

Her lips parted and closed, but she couldn't squeeze out a single word for the longest time.

Before she could even figure out how to respond, Chu Jinhan suddenly straightened his back, pulling back to create distance between them.

He retracted that overbearing sense of pressure, his expression returning to its usual composure.

However, his eyes still carried a sharp, searching scrutiny: “Over the past two days, you’ve been acting very wrong.”

Song Yunfei’s heart tightened, though she forced a composed mask onto her face. “What’s wrong with me?”

Chu Jinhan stared at her for a long moment. Suddenly, he leaned close toward her once more, aiming straight for her lips.

Song Yunfei was mortified. Seeing that he was about to kiss her, she abruptly whipped her head to the side, dodging his kiss.

However, she almost instantly realized something was off.

The man had merely extended his arm, reaching past her to pick up the glass of water from the table.

She stole a glance at Chu Jinhan out of the corner of her eye, only to end up locking eyes with him the moment she raised her gaze.

The atmosphere turned awkward in an instant.

The look in Chu Jinhan’s eyes finally made her realize the truth.

His test just now was meant to show her exactly where she was acting wrong.

And her reflexive dodge was the ultimate confirmation.

Chu Jinhan handed the glass of water to her. “Care to explain yourself?”

At this moment, Song Yunfei felt as if she were nailed to a cross, awaiting judgment.

She awkwardly took the glass.

Testing the waters, she opened her mouth: “If I said I’m not the original Song Yunfei, would you believe me?”

Chu Jinhan’s expression remained entirely unchanged. “What do you think?”

“What if it’s true?”

“Are you trying to say that you’re a different person now? Or rather, a completely different soul?”

Song Yunfei continued to give an ambiguous response: “What if that’s really the case?”

Chu Jinhan replied flatly: “Then I should probably call a psychiatric hospital.”

Song Yunfei nearly rolled her eyes to the ceiling.

More than anything, she was thoroughly baffled: “Why?! You can just break up with me! Why do you have to send me to a psychiatric hospital?!”

Chu Jinhan withdrew his gaze, preparing to continue eating his breakfast. “Didn't you say it yourself? We depend on each other for survival. Naturally, I have to take full responsibility for you to the very end.”

Song Yunfei let out two dry chuckles. “Honestly, there’s really no need for that.”

Chu Jinhan suddenly snapped his eyes back onto her.

This time, his gaze harbored a distinct trace of chilling coldness: “Song Yunfei, are you having an affair?”
