Hello, Mr. Major General (1)

Chapter 166 - Seduce Me

Sidharth rested an arm on his bent knee as he glanced at Shehnaaz, who had lowered her eyes in embarrassment. He averted his gaze and looked out the window as he said, with a faint smile: “What do you want
me to say?”

Her heart immediately sank. It wasn’t supposed to be like this! She had poured her heart out to him—he owed her a reply! Shehnaaz lifted her head angrily and said boldly, “I said, I love you. What about you?”

“Oh.” Sidharth nodded. He added nonchalantly, “Thank you.”

Shehnaaz was reeling. She got up and threw the pillow in her arms at Sidharth.

Sidharth raised an arm to block the pillow; it bounced off his arm and flew to the other side of the room.

Shehnaaz saw that her pillow attack had been laughably
ineffective. She launched herself at Sidharth instead, pinning him down and glaring at him.

Sidharth extended an arm to catch her, and made her sit beside him. He patted her on the back as he calmly said, “What are you going all crazy for? Can’t you let me think about it?”

Shehnaaz was even more furious now. He had hugged her and kissed her—and he still needed time to think about it?! “What’s there to think about?! Are you going to tell me you were drunk and that you didn’t mean any of it?” Shehnaaz was annoyed and frustrated: she no longer cared to think about what she was saying. “If that’s the case, I’ll… I’ll run
away from home, and I’ll leave you!”

Shehnaaz glowered at Sidharth. Deep down, however, she was stricken with fear and panic: what if he told her he wanted nothing to do with her? Sidharth had always been strict with her, after all. It did not matter how much of a fuss she made about it—he never gave in to any of her demands, if he found them to be
unreasonable.

She still remembered what had happened when she was 13 years old: she had been addicted to videogames, back then. Sidharth had discovered her addiction upon returning from a mission one day, and had dealt with it by imposing a complete ban on video games. She had thrown a tantrum, gone on a hunger strike, and run away from home, but he
had gotten her to obey him in the end. There had been no room for discussion.

She had gotten over her video game addiction, but had also
learned to fear Sidharth after that. The fear had stayed within her ever since.

She leaned over to Sidharth and grabbed his arm. She looked at him nervously.

Sidharth turned his hauntingly beautiful face to her and regarded her silently. He smiled.

Snow was steadily falling outside, beyond the window, but
Shehnaaz suddenly felt as though spring had come. His smile dazzled her, and sent her into a swoon.

A moment later she heard his voice from somewhere up above her. “Want to know my answer? Seduce me.”

“Seduce… you?!” Shehnaaz’s breath caught in her throat. Her mind reeled from the shock. H-h-how… How had he known that I’d wanted to seduce him?!

“Yes. If you can do it, I’m yours.” Sidharth leaned forward and patted Shehnaaz on the cheek. He grinned at the dazed look on her face.

She had never seen him as relaxed as he was now. He leaned back on the oversized pillow behind him. His eyes lingered on her briefly, before moving to look outside the window.

Shehnaaz was shocked at his careless request. She gaped for a full minute, before she regained control of her tongue. She stuttered, “Y-y-you… Are you serious? If this is a joke, it isn’t funny!” She was so nervous she looked like she was about to cry.
