Chapter 6

After Jiang Chen’s confession, Su Lin couldn’t sleep. His words replayed in her mind over and over again. Was he serious? Or was this just another one of his tricks? The next morning, she found him waiting outside her door, leaning lazily against the frame. “Morning, sweetheart,” he greeted with a smirk. She narrowed her eyes. “Don’t call me that.” “But you like it, don’t you?” She huffed. “What do you want?” Jiang Chen straightened up, stepping closer. “Let’s make a deal.” Su Lin folded her arms. “What kind of deal?” He grinned. “If you still don’t like me after one month, I’ll stop teasing you.” She hesitated. “And if I do?” His eyes darkened slightly, his voice dropping to a whisper. “Then you’ll be mine.” Su Lin’s heart pounded. It was a dangerous bet, one she wasn’t sure she could win.
