“Mhm, okay.” Rong Yan naturally hooked her arm around the tall man’s, handing over the money, “Sir, this is for the phone charge we agreed on.”
The convenience store owner pushed her hand away, refusing to take the money, “Ah, forget about it, you just used my outlet for a bit, no need to pay. You guys should go have something to eat. Young couples shouldn’t grumble over little things…”
She had said they weren’t fighting anymore, so why wouldn’t he believe her?
Rong Yan, resigned to not explaining anymore, thanked him and then pulled her companion out.
Gu Ming ran ahead, opening the car doors for them both.
Li Shengxiao got into the car first, and Rong Yan was about to follow when suddenly her wrist was grabbed and yanked, sending her tumbling into a scorching embrace without any warning.
Her back was pressed against the car door, completely cornered by the dominant man in the confined space of the car. In the tight quarters, his breath became even more intense, with an aggressive presence, pervading her world…
Rong Yan found herself pinned against the inner side, her heart pounding, her voice dry as she explained, “It was my fault this time, I didn’t notice my phone was dead. I thought since we wrapped up early in the afternoon, I’d go out for some hot and sour rice noodles before heading back.
Who knew I’d run into a situation that held me up. By the time I realized, my phone was already dead. I was going to head straight back, but I was worried you’d be concerned. So I found a nearby shop and asked the owner if I could charge my phone there. I planned to call you first to tell you my location, but then you showed up.”
She wasn’t surprised that Li Shengxiao could find her; after all, last time he had brazenly admitted to installing a GPS navigation system on her phone, making it all too easy to locate her!
“Have you not eaten yet?”
Before Rong Yan could finish speaking, her lips were sealed.
The man’s thin lips ground against hers, carrying the coolness of the night, buzzing like an electric current, tingling and numbing.
The next second, the gentle kiss turned into an unpredictable storm, like a sudden downpour, prying open her lips, savoring the sweetness in her mouth.
All her words were swallowed down, Rong Yan’s hands pinned against the car window; the kiss seemed to be punishing her, to make her remember this lesson firmly. It numbed the corners of Rong Yan’s mouth, the base of her tongue swollen from being coaxed.
Li Shengxiao’s dark hawk-like eyes stared intently at the small face in front of him, deepening farther and farther as if he wished to consume her, to merge her into his very bones and blood-so that he wouldn’t have to endure the fear of not being able to find her or reach her again!
His breath was heavy and rough; his eyes darkened inch by inch; a vein pulsed at his temple, and the nerve in his brain suddenly tightened. The familiar sharp pain struck again as if splitting him in two. Despite the extreme pain, he did not end the kiss…
Rong Yan initially didn’t notice anything was wrong until she felt a bite on her lips; that’s when she realized that the man pressing down on her looked quite unwell.
Struggling, she pushed away the person in front of her, her brows tightly knotted, anxiously asking, “Li Shengxiao, what’s wrong with you? Is your head hurting again?”
The fair face up close fragmented into countless illusions before his eyes; his gaze darkened, gripping Rong Yan’s wrist tightly.
“Hiss.” Rong Yan’s wrist hurt from his grip, and she inhaled sharply, clenched her teeth, and said, “You’re forcing my hand; don’t blame me later.”
