Only when he looked at her did his heart find peace.
She was his sunshine, with her, his world wasn’t so dark.
He couldn’t help but reach out to touch her face, a doting smile playing on his lips, as his face slowly drew closer and he kissed her lips.
Forehead against hers, his dark eyes gazing into hers, he chuckled hoarsely, "If it wasn’t for the fact you haven’t eaten yet, I would definitely take you now."
Lin Xinlan blinked, her cheeks turning slightly red.
She was indeed hungry, having not eaten all day, and now that she was awake, her stomach was in knots.
"I’m too tired; today... just let me rest properly," she pleaded softly.
Meaning, even after dinner, he better not touch her.
Rong Shaoze chuckled, pinching her nose as he said benevolently, "Alright, I’ll grant your request today, but you won’t be so lucky tomorrow night."
He understood that she had learned of his identity today, learned what he did for a living, and she needed some time to accept it.
She needed time to process, so she didn’t want him to touch her.
He could give her time to adjust, but not for too long, he didn’t want to wait, he had to force her to get used to it sooner.
"Come on, get up and eat," he said, pulling her body up.
Lin Xinlan sat up, the over-sized shirt undone by a few buttons. Suddenly sitting up, the shirt slid down, hanging off her rounded shoulders, revealing much of her fair skin, and in an instant, there was an endless view of early spring.
And her long hair cascaded over her shoulders, coupled with her languid expression, she exuded a fatally decadent and sexy vibe, making her look like a delightful feast, sending one’s blood boiling.
Rong Shaoze was taken aback upon seeing her in such a state, but then his eyes turned dark and frightening.
Feeling his burning gaze, Lin Xinlan belatedly realized her current appearance.
She cried out in alarm, hastily grabbing the collar of her shirt, staring at him defensively.
The man paid no heed to her expression, passionately caressing her ears and temples.
Ever since she had been kidnapped, he lived in constant fear, worried that she’d get hurt.
He had been agonizing over her for days, unable to eat or sleep, so the moment he held her today, he wanted to take her recklessly.
Latterly, after finding out about his identity, she began to reject him, wanting to flee from him.
His heart ached even more, and he longed to meld her into his body, to confirm she was still his.
But she was too tired, and for the sake of her body, he restrained himself.
However, her current appearance was too enticing, savagely tempting him again.
He could restrain himself once, twice, but not a third time!
Any more restraint, and he would be no man at all!
So, he didn’t care about anything anymore.
He didn’t care whether she could accept his identity or whether she was still hungry.
Tomorrow is going to be torturous~
