Chapter 824: Chapter 824: Woken up by the heat in the middle of the night
Rong Yan had no idea about anything and slept exceptionally well that night.
She slept so soundly that she didn’t even notice when the man slipped into her room and held her in his arms. It wasn’t until she woke up in the middle of the night, sweating profusely from the heat, that she realized she was tightly imprisoned in his embrace. His arms were draped over her waist, trapping her almost airtight.
In the darkness, she could hear his even breathing.
Huff~ Rong Yan was sweating all over, she quietly moved her body, pulled away the man’s arms, and rolled out of bed.
Free of the scorching embrace that nearly suffocated her, her breathing became much smoother and the heat on her body cooled down significantly. Yet the sweat that had previously appeared still clung to her skin, and she could feel the fierce waves below her abdomen.
She tiptoed to pick up her small sweater jacket and stealthily exited the room.
‘Click,’ Rong Yan closed the room door.
She didn’t notice that the man sleeping on the light grey bed opened his eyes the moment she left. Discovering his empty arms, his brows suddenly furrowed, and the lingering sleepiness in the depths of his eyes disappeared within a short second, leaving him fully alert.
Li Shengxiao turned on the bedside lamp and sat up. The wrinkles on the sheets beside him were noticeable, indicating someone had lain there.
Li Shengxiao’s fingertips rubbed the edge of the bed, retaining the warm temperature, just like when he had held that little woman in his arms.
His deep eyes softened, he picked up a robe from beside him, slipped it on, and opened the door.
The moment he stepped out, he heard the sound of running water from the bathroom.
Rong Yan was still singing in there, her la-la-la tune faint and indistinct.
Was she in such a good mood? So good that she didn’t forget to sing even while showering?
Li Shengxiao raised an eyebrow, pinched the bridge of his nose with a frown, and walked towards the kitchen…
Rong Yan spent half an hour in the shower, coming out smelling fragrant and fresh.
As soon as she opened the door, she was surprised to find the living room lights blazing, as bright as daylight. The man sitting on the dark coffee-colored sofa with his long legs crossed was leaning elegantly to one side, in front of him were two cups of steaming coffee, their spiraling steam adding a seductive allure to his distinguished and incomparable handsome face.
Rong Yan blinked, trying to withdraw her gaze, but her body did not comply.
Indeed, this man had the kind of looks and physique that could captivate souls just by themselves.
She believed that even if Li Shengxiao didn’t have the powerful backing and the existence of the Li Group, there would be no shortage of women throwing themselves at him. No way around it, with that kind of face and body, she too would willingly let him take advantage of her for nothing.
Rong Yan imagined his performance in bed and suddenly felt that, on top of letting him have his way for free, she might even be willing to throw in some money to keep him.
After all, a man who was not only good-looking but also skilled and enduring in bed deserved more than just to be taken advantage of for nothing; she felt obliged to offer some amount of money. If Li Shengxiao became her little pet to keep, she estimated that after some time together, he could completely drain her little treasury, and she would be more than willing to let him!
While she stood there indulging in her fantasies, the man resting with his legs propped up had already noticed her. He elegantly set down his coffee cup and gestured to her, “Come here.”
Did he think he was summoning a pet? Rong Yan thought so, but her legs obediently moved towards him, “Why are you up? Did I wake you up?”
Before she left, this man was still sleeping soundly. To have gotten up and brewed coffee after her shower, she must have woken him up.
