Jiang Jinyan's sudden question threw her into shambles. What—What was he saying? Hadn't she stood here, in all of her naked glory, exposed blatantly for him to see? Wasn't it enough to tell him what her attention was? Was he trying to tease her again?! Shi Nian lifted her head, wanting to protest; however, all of the words stuck in her throat as she saw Jiang Jinyan's serious look. The man was breathing heavily and whoever looked at him could tell that he was tethering on the edge but still, he made sure that she would feel comfortable with whatever he was going to do.
He was sincerely asking for permission.
