C17 Exercise Your Physical Strength!

Her mom's excuse for inviting him upstairs was a bit of a stretch.

Lishan glanced sideways at Tianche. "Uncle, I think I can walk on my own."

"But I thought I'd give you a ride," he replied, emphasizing the word "ride" in a way that made the car's atmosphere instantly more charged.

Lishan's smile stiffened, and her hands, resting on her knees, clenched into fists. He was doing this on purpose! Deliberately showing up in front of her, at the family house.

"Uncle, I have my own two feet, and besides, I want to get some exercise," Lishan said through gritted teeth, forcing a smile.

Seeing her angry little face, a hint of amusement crept into Tianche's cool gaze. "Really? Being with me isn't enough of a workout?"

"Walking to work is better exercise, and being with you is more of a verbal workout," Lishan replied, trying to keep her face calm and her heart steady.

Tianche watched her feigned composure and deliberately swerved the steering wheel, causing Lishan to nearly fall into his arms. Her head hit his shoulder, sending a sharp pain through her.

She held her head, silently cursing.

"Being with me not only improves your conversation skills but also your stamina," Tianche said in a low voice. "If you don't believe me, we can head to a nearby hotel and see who passes out first."

"Uncle, I just turned eighteen. I have no idea what you're talking about," Lishan feigned ignorance, turning her gaze out the window.

She spotted a pharmacy in the distance and recalled the events of the previous night, causing her heart to sink. She debated whether to ask Tianche to pull over.

Just as she was about to speak up, Tianche suddenly hit the gas, and the car sped away. Lishan squinted slightly, watching the road ahead, and silently worried about what she might have inadvertently triggered with her words. Tianche's temper was definitely the cold and silent type.

The car raced to the parking lot beneath the Qiao family's building. Tianche unbuckled his seatbelt and suddenly pulled Lishan closer, his lips capturing hers in a commanding kiss.

His tongue entwined with hers, savoring the sweetness of her mouth. The gentle touch swept over her teeth, sending a shiver through her body. The kiss lasted a full five minutes before he reluctantly released her lips.

His rough fingers lightly traced her lips as his deep, magnetic voice resonated in her ear, "Oh, you don't understand? I'll make sure you do tonight, okay?"

They were so close that if she answered incorrectly, his lips would descend upon hers once more.

Moreover, she had other things to take care of...

Lishan felt a sudden jolt in her heart. She must have left home on the wrong foot today, or she wouldn't have run into this wolf. The most critical part was that she couldn't afford to offend him; otherwise, this pawn could turn into a ticking time bomb at any moment.

"Uncle, I get it, I get it."

"You get it? That's good." Tianche's lips pressed into a thin line, brushing lightly against her nose before pulling away, his fingers releasing her chin.

Lishan finally breathed a little easier, but the man's next words made her tense up again. "Remember, I'll pick you up tonight. And by the way, I might swing by your office later. If you ignore me, then tonight..."
