Shen Ming immediately nodded, "Deal."
"Then let's give it a try, if..."
Xiao Zhu hadn't finished her sentence when Shen Ming, the straightforward man, couldn't contain his excitement and hugged her tightly, "I'll make sure to behave well and make you happy."
The warmth and scent of masculine hormones filled the air, radiating raw male energy. Xiao Zhu's heart pounded like a startled deer, her cheeks flushing red.
She wasn't dissatisfied; on the contrary, she really liked him—liked him a lot. But she worried that Shen Ming might regret it, regret liking a good-for-nothing housemaid like her. Trying was giving him the opportunity to change his mind.
She couldn't use his momentary affection to bind him to her for a lifetime. She wasn't worthy.
Shen Ming belatedly realized what he'd done. Quickly releasing Xiao Zhu, he scratched his head and smiled sheepishly, "I didn't scare you, did I? I was just overjoyed. I promise not to cross any boundaries again."
