Love You Till the End Chapter 1178 - 1176: Shi Mei vs Shi Keke (23)

The very last statement held the ultimate significance, and naturally, it was the only part Shi Mei truly registered. Setting aside the newspaper he held, he slowly lifted his gaze, narrowing his eyes at Shi Keke, who was seated across from him. His thin lips parted slightly as he inquired, "Ruined your purity?"

"Precisely, that's right," Shi Keke affirmed. "For someone like me, who places great value on self-respect, I've always been firmly against any physical intimacy with men before marriage, such as hugging or kissing. Therefore, engaging in such acts represents the absolute limit for me, signifying that my purity has been compromised by you."

"If you're averse to kissing and hugging before marriage, you might as well go all the way," Shi Mei remarked, raising a sardonic eyebrow. A subtle, almost imperceptible smile touched his thin lips. "Since it's already 'ruined,' why not see it through to the end? Don't you agree, Shi Keke?"

"I do not agree, and I will not accept it," Shi Keke responded with remarkable composure. Even when the phrase "sexual relationship" was uttered, her face showed no tint of a blush, nor did her heart betray any sign of acceleration. Contrasting with her stated high regard for self-respect, she appeared surprisingly seasoned.

"Do you honestly believe I'm seeking your consent?" He rested his elbow on the table, shifting closer. His gaze, tinged with mischief, and his nonchalant tone, painted him as an entirely different individual from the aloof persona he had exhibited moments before.

"Wouldn't you say so?" Shi Keke leaned back nonchalantly, widening the space between them.

"Actually, you are quite mistaken." He abruptly stood, extending a hand to draw her towards him.

Shi Keke found herself completely unprepared for such a direct maneuver. Caught off guard and without any means of defense, she was immobilized, her hands firmly restrained, leaving no opportunity for resistance or struggle.

"Brother, initiating such actions towards someone without their agreement is against the law."

Having voiced this, Shi Keke instantly recognized that her invocation of legal knowledge had zero impact on him. On the contrary, it seemed to fan the flames of his desire for conquest.

He pulled her into a forceful embrace, bringing his head down close to her face. "Consider this moment," he murmured, his voice low and deliberate. "If I were to kiss you right now, would you be able to resist? Is it truly your decision whether I do or not?"

As he spoke, he tilted his head lower still, his intention to force a kiss palpable.

At that precise moment, a few nearby tables erupted with encouraging shouts: "Kiss her! Kiss her! Kiss her!"

Shi Keke cleverly tilted her head aside, evading his intended contact. She then turned her gaze towards the onlookers, a smirk playing on her crimson lips. "You all certainly enjoy a good spectacle, don't you? Hurry and eat, all of you. I'm in a generous mood today, it's all on me!"

Her declaration sent the crowd into a frenzy. "In that case, we'll dine quietly and won't interrupt your romantic interlude," one voice chimed in. "Girl, be a little more forward," another suggested. "Public displays of affection are hardly uncommon these days." A third added, "You two make a stunning couple – he's incredibly handsome, and you're absolutely beautiful. Isn't there any justice?"

Nevertheless, despite their boisterous comments, everyone wisely maintained decorum and focused on their complimentary repast. Who would possibly pass up a free feast?

"How incredibly generous. Did you actually bring any money?" Shi Mei's lips curved into a knowing smile as he used one hand to gently turn Shi Keke's face towards him, compelling her to meet his gaze. "If not, you'd best figure out a way to amuse me. Otherwise, I won't be so magnanimous in resolving this situation for you."
