Chapter 154: Clearing Her Name (15)
“Wait a minute,” Rong Yan said coldly.
Luo Anning stopped in her track, suppressed her excitement and wondered, has Rong Yan really changed his mind and is now willing to let me sleep here?
Rong Yan did not say anything else and instead picked up his shirt, put it on and walked towards her.
Luo Anning retreated slightly. Seeing how defensive she was, Rong Yan sneered, “Luo Anning, what are you so afraid for? Are you worried that I might devour you?”
Luo Anning pursed her lips after having her thoughts exposed.
“You’re reading too much into things.”
“Is that so?” Rong Yan smiled in an absolutely alluring manner.
Luo Anning could not control herself from feeling nervous as her heart began to pound rapidly all of a sudden. Her face turned hot and she thought, what a devil!
Rong Yan continued to inch closer towards her, as if he had found something fun to do. His scorching breath touched Luo Anning’s face while she continuously moved her head back in a bid to avoid him.
Rong Yan stopped when his thin lips were just a few millimeters from hers. Her thick long eyelashes trembled, and her breathing began to become clipped and conscientious.
“Luo Anning, you’re blushing out of shyness,” Rong Yan said teasingly while rubbing her red and fair face.
“Who’s blushing shyly?!” Luo Anning immediately flew into a rage like a kitten which had its tail stepped on. “You’re the one who’s shy and blushing!”
Rong Yan did not get angry and instead smiled even wider. His black eyes lit up and he retorted, “If you’re not blushing, could you explain the rosiness on your face? Don’t tell me it’s ketchup.”
Luo Anning gave him a stern glance and said, “Blushing doesn’t mean that I’m shy, can’t I just have thin skin?”
“Fine, whatever you say. What matters is I know what you’re thinking.” Rong Yan chuckled, picked her up and walked out of the room before she could even react.
Luo Anning subconsciously wrapped her arms around his neck and asked nervously, “Rong Yan, where are you taking me to?”
“Home.”
“Hey, I can’t go back. I promised Chief Chen that I’ll be staying behind in the detainment center. If you take me away now, wouldn’t I be going back on my word? No, no, hurry and put me down.” After giving it some thought, Luo Anning found it to be extremely inappropriate. Hence, she began to struggle.
“Don’t move! You’d better behave yourself if you don’t want me to throw you down!” Rong Yan hollered. Luo Anning immediately fell silent. Indeed, threatening her did work.
…
They left from the back door of the detention center and headed all the way back to the mansion.
Rong Yan carried her upstairs and brought her back to the bedroom. He kicked the door of the bathroom open and threw her into the bathroom. “You’d better wash yourself clean before coming out.”
After Rong Yan finished speaking, he turned around and left coldly.
“Ouch, would it kill for you to be gentler?” Luo Anning winced in pain.
She had no choice, but to admit that it was much better to be at home. Everything seemed to be pleasing to the eye. After filling the bathtub with some water, Luo Anning took a soothing essential oil bath to soothe her nerves.
She quickly wrapped herself in the towel and exited the bathroom after ensuring that she was fragrant.
She exited the bathroom to see that Rong Yan had already taken a bath and had changed into a silver silk robe with half of his chest exposed. He laid on the bed with a tablet in his hand that he was playing with. He created a beautiful scene under the dim, yellow light.
