A soft sigh escaped Apel's lips as she subconsciously wrapped her arms around Chen Fei from behind. Resting her cheek on his shoulder, she blushed and whispered, "Respected sir, you truly are an amazing person… Do you know, this is the first time I've ever been alone with a stranger and felt so relaxed."
She paused for a moment, then lifted her swan-like neck. Her gaze was burning as she looked at Chen Fei and said softly, "But perhaps this is just my good fortune. Respected sir, I'm so delighted to have met you."
"My name is Chen Fei," he said with a smile, gently stroking Apel's well-kept hair. "Stop calling me 'respected sir.' I'm not used to it. Just call me by my name."
"I can really call you by your name?" Apel murmured, her smile brightening. From his simple gesture, she understood one thing.
Respect! He didn't see her as a plaything, but as a person—a woman—and he respected her.
