Chapter 70 - 70: A Kiss like a Sudden Storm
Rong Yan had no choice but to sit still.
She listlessly surveyed the layout of his room.
The style was black, white, and grey, understated luxury, with even the bed covered in light grey. Although it had taste, it was too indifferent, giving off an ice-cold feeling that seemed to push people thousands of miles away.
Li Shengxiao’s bedroom was arranged in a minimalist fashion, with not only a sleeping area but also a small living room and office area.
Bookshelves were filled with various books, and beyond that, the leather desk was stacked high with documents, showing just how busy he was every day!
While Rong Yan was taking everything in, the person from the living room had already returned.
He squatted down in front of her again, placed her foot on his knee, opened the bottle of medicinal liquor, poured some into his palm, and then gently rubbed it onto her ankle.
“Hiss—” Although Rong Yan didn’t take the minor injury to heart, when her twisted ankle was massaged, she still inhaled a cool breath and bit her lower lip.
Li Shengxiao felt the girl’s foot arch tense up in his hand, and while saying, “Just bear with it a little,” his movements lightened.
Cui Jiangjing would definitely be roaring if he were here!
The last time he twisted his ankle, this man’s reaction was not so gentle. He was wailing in pain, and all Li Shengxiao replied was,
“Stop yelling if it isn’t broken.”
“Stop yelling if it isn’t broken!”
It was the same twisted ankle, but this time Rong Yan’s injury was definitely not as severe as Cui Jiangjing’s, yet Li Shengxiao’s reaction was completely different.
Lucky for him, he had left earlier; otherwise, seeing this would have surely broken his heart. He would have agonizingly lamented, “Brothers are like limbs, and women are like clothes” or something similar.
Because he didn’t exert much force, it took a bit longer.
Rong Yan, aside from feeling a bit uncomfortable at first, gradually began to feel the effects of the medicinal liquor as it evaporated, turning the burning sensation in her ankle cooler and cooler. It felt so comfortable that she let out a appreciative sigh and involuntarily squinted her eyes.
She had been busy all day, scared in various ways, and on top of that, caring for Little Baby. She had nearly fallen asleep while telling a story.
Now, with someone massaging her comfortably, she was just super tired and wished she could just fall into bed and sleep!
But Rong Yan wouldn’t actually fall asleep under these circumstances. After all, his presence was too strong, and her nerves were always taut, keeping her from comfortably lying down.
“All done,”
the honored man spread the rest of the medicinal liquor from the palm of his hand and stood up.
Rong Yan’s sleepiness vanished instantly, and she immediately tried to rise, saying, “I won’t disturb you anymore. You should get some rest early.”
“Rong Yan. ”
Her left hand was suddenly grabbed, and just as she turned her head, her body suddenly leaned forward as her waist was firmly clasped, and two soft lips fell down, accurately and unmistakably capturing hers!
Boom!
The night, the bedroom, the sudden kiss—the romantic atmosphere spread throughout the room, and Rong Yan’s mind felt like it had been hit by a bomb, almost blowing her into a daze.
Li Shengxiao tasted only briefly, his dark eyes on her as he said in a husky voice, “I’ve prepared some clothes for you in the wardrobe of your room, see if you like them. There are some jewelry in the drawer, you can try those too. If you don’t like them, I’ll have them changed.”
“Uhm…
“Good night.”
He acted as if nothing had happened, and Rong Yan was too embarrassed to show her astonishment. She opened her mouth, “…Good night.”
After she spoke, her face showed a hint of annoyance.
Why did she feel like she’d been led into a trap again?
This exchanging of good nights after a kiss was something couples deeply in love would do. What was she to Li Shengxiao!
Having realized the awkwardness, Rong Yan swiftly moved away, not even looking at him, “Well, you should rest too. I’ll be heading back now. 88.”
Just as she reached the door and cracked it open slightly, suddenly, from behind her, the man’s long arm propped against the door, and bang, the door closed again.
The next second, Rong Yan was pinned against the door, and a kiss came down like a tempest, unrestrained.
