Chapter 675: Chapter 675: Caught!
“Are you sure?” Tang Li smiled.
Ethan envelops Tang Li’s hands with his own, the heat in his palms as earnest as his gaze, seemingly dedicating his entire world to the girl before him.
“This isn’t the United States, what I’m about to say might scare you, but please believe in my sincerity.” Ethan raises his left hand, staring deeply at Tang Li: “I swear to the heavens, my feelings for you contain no deceit.”
“What if you’re lying?” Tang Li suddenly asks. Chapters fırst released on nοvelfire.net
Tang Li continues for him: “If your feelings for me are false, there’s no need for divine retribution; I’ll have you thrown in jail to reflect on your actions.”
To Ethan, her words mean Tang Li has taken the bait.
Therefore, he looks at Tang Li with even deeper affection: “If I deceive you, you don’t need to punish me; my life is yours to take.”
“I don’t want your life.” Tang Li’s lips curve up: “However, everyone must pay the price for their actions, and it just so happens that I’m not a magnanimous person.”
“Even so, it won’t shake my devotion to you.”
Ethan says this with utmost sincerity.
If Tang Li didn’t know he belonged to Lai Shengxia, she might have believed, given his tender look, that he truly adored her.
Seeing Tang Li silent, Ethan, expert in affairs of the heart, naturally knows what to do next.
Under the soft lighting, Ethan’s features are profound, mesmerizingly charming: “Jill, from now on I’ll call you Jill. You are my Venus, and I, I hope to become your Apollo, to protect you until the end of your life…”
As they draw closer, Tang Li picks up a book and places it between them.
Interrupted, Ethan stops moving closer.
The atmosphere in the apartment remains romantic and tense.
Blushing, Tang Li stands up from the sofa as if holding back her emotions: “I already have a boyfriend, we shouldn’t be doing this.”
After saying this, she sets the book down and quickly heads towards the door.
Ethan watches Tang Li flee in a panic, not rushing to follow her immediately. The effect was just right. Once the apartment door closes, he leans back on the sofa, thinking of Tang Li’s mixed signals—clearly moved, yet still putting on a façade of unyielding virtue.
He lights a cigarette, his thoughts lingering on Tang Li’s fair neck, feeling an uncontrollable yearning.
Just then, the doorbell rings again.
Thinking it’s Tang Li returning, Ethan stubs out the cigarette and goes to answer the door.
Instead, it’s a woman in a sling-back figure-hugging dress.
Tall, with cascading wavy hair over her shoulders and stiletto heels that add a touch of austerity, she leans on the doorframe with a chain-strap purse in hand, her gaze almost soul-seducing.
Having frequented entertainment venues for years, Ethan immediately recognizes her profession. He leans suggestively against the doorframe, “Wrong door?”
The woman raises her eyes, inching closer to Ethan’s body: “I’m thirsty, do you have any water?”
In the dead of night, the drama on the bed intensifies.
Suddenly, the apartment door is slammed open.
Just as Ethan gets caught up in the heat, he is startled by the loud noise. Before he could get up, five or six uniformed police officers storm in, encircling the entire bed.
Confronted with several menacing gun barrels, the once bold and arrogant Ethan instantly wilts.
In the wee hours, Lai Shengxia receives a call from the police station.
Ethan has been arrested for soliciting prostitutes!
