Chapter 612: Chapter 612: Is it My Turn to Speak?
Rong Yan’s wrists were firmly clamped to the bed, his scorching breath spraying on her face, her neck…
She tried moving her wrists and found that the man was gripping her with incredible force, making it impossible to twist her hand free.
Rong Yan blinked her clear eyes, even admiring herself for not being afraid in such a situation, her first reaction was… to think about how to appease someone.
Her silence was interpreted by the man as a normal reaction of being frightened. Li Shengxiao’s handsome face grew taut, and his piercing eyes intensely watched her. He seemed expressionless, yet his large hand began to reluctantly loosen, “My true emotions are . Next time, don’t ask me again whether I’m angry or not.”
Seeing his hand letting go, Rong Yan gained her freedom, and contrary to what Li Shengxiao thought, she didn’t immediately try to escape out of fear.
The little woman beneath him, as he was about to release her, unexpectedly grabbed onto his wrist instead.
Li Shengxiao felt someone pulling at his wrist, halting his motion to rise. The dark hawk-like eyes returned to her, as if guessing what she wanted to do.
Rong Yan subconsciously grabbed his wrist, not really thinking much about it. Suddenly meeting his gaze, she felt embarrassed. With slightly pursed red lips, she spoke, “So… is it my turn to speak now?”
“…” Li Shengxiao’s heroic brows furrowed deeply!
He was restraining himself, and he could still hold back now, but if she were to continue, he wasn’t sure he could remain rational as he was at this moment.
Rong Yan didn’t know what he was thinking. Seeing that he kept quiet, she took it as his consent and cleared her throat. Her voice was soft and sweet as she spoke, “Actually, I want to say, tonight when you were giving me the silent treatment and not answering my calls, I felt really terrible. I called you seven or eight times, and every time you didn’t answer, I thought, ‘Okay, you’re angry, that’s fine. I’ll apologize after I sleep and wake up, which will surely be more effective than apologizing while you’re still mad.'”
Li Shengxiao’s throat tightened, his eagle eyes suddenly grew heavy, and the emotions he had barely contained threatened to burst out uncontrollably again.
So, she grabbed him and wouldn’t let him go just to tell him that tonight when he didn’t answer her calls, she had already stopped wanting to call him and was ready to go to sleep?
His chest felt inexplicably blocked, his heart as if segmented into pieces, seemingly ill.
“But when I got to the door of the room, I turned back. I thought about it for a long time in the living room and still couldn’t help but call you again.”
“I kept calling and calling until my phone was nearly dead, but you didn’t answer.” Rong Yan’s bright eyes looked at him, inexplicably making him feel as though there was a sense of grievance in her gaze, “Later I realized you weren’t answering my calls, so I sent you a message, thinking you might not answer calls, but you would see a message. Seeing the message, maybe you would call me back.”
“But the message was like a stone sinking into the ocean. I waited on the sofa for over half an hour, and you didn’t reply. I couldn’t bear it anymore, so I called Assistant Gu. The call went through, but no one answered. Then I knew you were definitely angry.”
“Just now, I was planning to go out to find you, thinking of trying my luck at the office to see if you were still there.”
She didn’t say a single sweet word; she just talked about what she had been thinking alone at home in the evening. Li Shengxiao, however, felt a sensation of being soothed.
