His dark eyes stared only at her. Ling Yiran who was drunk looked so delicate and alluring. ‘How many people have seen this side of her?‘Has Xiao Ziqi seen it before?’A sudden wave of jealousy rose in his heart. He was jealous that Xiao Ziqi had dated her before. While she was dating XIao Ziqi, had she ever used such a gentle tone to call out his name? How intimate were they while they were dating?“Are you being truthful that I’m good-looking?” he murmured back. He had the urge to keep her by his side and not allow anyone else to see such an attractive side of her.“Yup. Very much. Jin is the most handsome man I’ve ever seen.” She smiled as her fingers playfully tapped on the tip of his nose as if he was an interesting toy.Perhaps, she was the only one who could treat him like a toy.Suddenly, her expression changed. Her smile faded and was replaced with sadness. “Jin, I’ll treat you very well. Please don’t leave me, okay?”Her almond eyes looked misty. It seemed that he was
He suddenly flipped over and pressed her down below him. “It’s not enough... It’s far from enough.”He murmured as his fingers gently caressed her face. Her alluringly drunk demeanor was like a budding rose, so beautiful and so attractive.Her eyes shimmered like the autumn dew whenever she looked at him. Her smile when she called him ‘Jin’, her hands wrapping themselves around his neck, her fresh, sweet scent filling his whole being… All these made him feel like he was being intoxicated.“It looks like I should not have said things such as not touching a drunk woman,” he murmured. This was the first time he went back on his words, and it was all because of her.He lowered his head and kissed her lips while tossing and turning around. It felt so nostalgic, and he was so reluctant to leave.His physical urge that had been aroused by her needed to be appeased by her only.It was as if his body would only react so strongly toward her.He did not know how long they were kissing for
“After what they did to you and imprisoned you for so many days, aren’t you worried that they will hold a grudge against you and do worse things if they are released?” he asked.Ling Yiran remained silent. She understood the situation very well. After all that had happened, her uncle was not going to feel grateful to her for helping to release them. Instead, they would hold a bigger grudge toward her.“They are people I don’t care about. I can’t be bothered no matter how much they hate me, or what they think of me,” she looked down and calmly replied.However, such calmness made him inexplicably agitated.“What about me?” he suddenly asked.“What?” She was taken aback and could not react on time.He rested both hands by the bedside and leaned closer. “What about me? Do you care about me? Are you bothered about what I think of you?’Ling Yiran was stunned. If he was Jin, then she would surely care. However, he was now Yi Jinli...“I guess you can’t care less if I am bothered or
Ling Yiran hurriedly got down from the bed. “I’ll... go and wash up,” she uttered out before rushing into the washroom.Yi Jinli’s gaze darkened as he watched the back view of Ling Yiran running away.-Inside the washroom, Ling Yiran looked at her blushing red face and sighed.She could not bring herself to believe what Yi Jinli told her earlier. ‘I... pressed him down and kissed him?‘How could such a thing happen!’However, she hesitated. Was it truly impossible? Even she did not know what sort of things her drunk self would do.‘If what Yi Jinli said is true, then I...’The possibility of that gave her the urge to bury herself alive.She hurriedly washed up and exited the washroom to find that Yi Jinli was still in her house.Right now, he was sitting on a chair and gently sipping on a cup of water. He was dressed in a well-tailored suit. He was a man with broad shoulders and a slim waistline. He had one leg elegantly crossed over the other. He had a handsome face with
For someone like him, the gloves he usually wore should be those custom-made from a luxury brand!He watched her blank stare and added, “Consider it as your thank you gift for me releasing those splendid relatives of yours.”She looked embarrassed. “But I no longer have the measurements.” Back then, she had used a measuring tape to measure the size of his hands.Later, she had no plans of completing the gloves so she threw the paper which recorded those measurements.“If you’ve lost the measurements, then measure again,” he said directly.She had no choice but to take out the measuring tape, sit next to him, and measure the size of his hands.Of course, it was unavoidable for her to be in contact with his hands.Each time the tip of her fingers came in contact with his hand, she would be careful to avoid touching him as much as she could. She would even carefully hold the measuring tape with two fingers at the edge to carefully measure.He chuckled at her actions. “Yesterday yo
In order to rush her work, Ling Yiran simply took her half-knitted gloves and the wool with her. She could knit a little during the afternoon break.When Sis Xu saw Ling Yiran’s knitted gloves, she said curiously, “Are you knitting these for yourself to wear? It seems a little too big, though.”Sis Xu asked, “Is it a gift for someone?” “Uh-huh,” Ling Yiran answered.“This doesn’t look like your size. Are you knitting it for someone else?” Sis Xu guessed.Ling Yiran nodded again.“You haven’t gotten yourself a boyfriend, have you?” Sis Xu spoke again.“No.” She hastily denied.“If you don’t have one, why are you knitting so earnestly? You’re even using your afternoon break to knit.” Sis Xu obviously did not believe her words.Ling Yiran could not do anything about it either. What could she say? She could not say that it was because she was knitting this for Yi Jinli that she wanted to finish it as soon as possible, right?If she really said this, she predicted Sister Xu would
“But no matter how much my qualifications grow, I still can’t catch your eye, right?” he asked.In an instant, it seemed that something had been stuffed into Ling Yiran’s mouth.Guo Xinli gave a self-deprecating laugh immediately after. “Actually, before you said those things, I had already thought of changing my job. After all, working in the Sanitation Service Center, you can predict the rest of your life with just one look. I want to take the chance while I’m still not yet 30 to give myself more of a challenge.”A challenge? If the Ling Yiran from before had been given a choice of an unknown life full of challenges or a steady one that could be fully predicted with just one glance, she was afraid she would have chosen the former.Only after experiencing so many things did she know that stability was actually the most important.Ling Yiran took a deep breath and said, “Actually, what I said to you that day, you really don’t have to mind it too much. I only didn’t want you to spe
Was that man the person she loved?In the end, he did not ask this question.The current him did not have that right. Perhaps in the future, if he really could succeed, then maybe he would have the qualification to stand before her once again…Guo Xinli started the car and left. Ling Yiran walked into her rental home step by step. Before she could even open the door, she saw the lights on in the house.Before she left, she had clearly turned off the lights. Could it be…Ling Yiran shivered. She opened the door right away, and what entered her field of vision was a room full of light as well as Yi Jinli sitting on a chair.“You—” She walked into the house. “It’s so late. Do you have a reason for being here?”“That’s something I should be asking you, Sis. You don’t have overtime today, and you don’t have to be on duty either, so why are you only back so late?” He lifted his eyes slightly, speaking as he evaluated her.“A colleague from the company resigned. Everyone went out for
