seeing zhao tian''s shocked face, she quickly realized "did you just kiss me... to test my feelings?"
clearly becoming increasingly irritated by his behavior, she set the teacup down on the table with a slight clatter and firmly pushed him away from her, creating a noticeable distance between them.
"let go of me, bastard... you are the worst."
pushing him from her, she moved and sat on the edge of the sofa, frustrated by the little stunt he pulled just now.
after waiting for a thousand years, she has finally come to meet him and their first kiss is fake and he was just testing her.
zhao tian was sitting on the couch, still surprised, looking at artoria evelyne.
he expected her to push him in the last moment or something like that, so he could prove that she doesn''t actually like him and was simply bluffing.
because women like artoria hold their chastity at high value and won''t let any man touch them easily.
however, he didn''t expect her to actually reciprocate his kiss.
he really didn''t expect his face would charm even an astral realm woman at first glance.
seeing that the woman was in a bad mood, zhao tian sighed in his heart and could understand why she was angry.
not knowing how to approach as he felt really awkward to talk to her right now after what he did. "uh..."
artoria evelyne''s eyes trembled as she looked at him in the corner of her eyes and she hesitated for a moment, her heart racing, "come on, at least try to console me..."
with a faint smile, he moved closer to her and wrapped his arm around her shoulder, pulling her closer.
"actually... i didn''t think you would kiss me back."
artoria evelyne pouted her lips upon hearing this, but then a sigh escaped her lips and she uttered "i know... you wanted to be cautious, when a woman suddenly appeared and said she loves you."
"but kissing her to test her feelings is just... worst."
sighing in his heart, zhao tian replied "well, i apologize for that..."
with a playful glint in her eyes, she lightly nudged his chest with her elbow, a teasing smile dancing on her lips. "you better be, you charming rascal," she said, her tone a mix of affection and mock severity.
whilst saying this outside, her heart clenched in pain looking at his face ''tian... tian... i have been waiting for you for years...''
zhao tian gave a nod and replied, keeping his smile "but we barely know each other, artoria..."
artoria evelyne raised her hands, placing them on his shoulders "if there is anything you want to know, i will tell you anything. my bust size is-"
"wait, not that... you idiot."
zhao tian couldn''t help but laugh and ask "what would you do if i am actually a misogynist?"
artoria evelyne nodded without hesitation. "if you told me to welcome you back on my kness when you come home, i will do that. i will cook meals for you daily and walk three steps behind you."
"and i won''t say no to anything in bed... you can explore all kinds of kinky stuff with me."
wait, wait... what?
he can already feel another zahra ashante in the making...
looking into her purple eyes, zhao tian was dumbfounded "artoria?"
artoria evelyne took a deep breath to clam her heart and uttered "tian... i am serious. i love you... i know it might be ridiculous for you to hear."
zhao tian smiled dryly in his heart because he knew someone who directly came to him and sniffed him on their first meeting and said she loves him.
at least, artoria is better than her in that case.
zhao tian reached out tenderly caressing her cheek with his fingers and muttered in a soft tone "artoria... i am still not in love with you, but i am surely attracted to you and-"
a wide smile appeared on artoria evelyne''s face and she jumped into his arms like a cat and hugged him "thank you so much, tian..."
"don''t worry.. this is enough... i will surely make you fall for me with my charm."
zhao tian was amused in his heart as to how fast she changed from an elegant woman to this now "you seem confident..."
artoria evelyne nodded her head "of course..."
