Bai Jihai chuckled at her defensive stance and then he pulled her towards him, circling his hands around her waist as he grinned like a young boy. "What do you think I am going to you? Tell me, what is going on in your silly little head, my love?"
She trembled when he placed a kiss on her temple, covering his hands with her own as she turned around to face him in his embrace. "I am not going to be fooled by your sweet talk, Jihai. We are not ready to do this, let me go."
"There is nothing that cannot be prepared if you agree to it, Lan'er. However, I will not force you if you are not willing." He released her and grabbed her hand instead as he guided her carefully. "Come, let's go out bed. You must be tired after the trouble you went through today."
