But to Ye Jian, she didn’t want to carry on with the conversation. That night at the Swan Lake, she clearly saw the predatory gaze in his eyes, like a beast waiting for its opportunity and ready to strike.
And she was his prey!
Right now, his smile was just an appearance. For someone like him, even if he stood still, he was unreachable. Even if he was easy-going, as long as you saw his smile, you would immediately remember how far away he was from you and how dangerous he was.
Ye Jian was not afraid of him being out of her reach, but she feared his amiable disposition and his shallow smile. She pursed her lips and grinned, “I’m also happy. I just arrived in time. Captain Xia, you will be able to report to the leader.”
He had to laugh with every sentence she made… until her heart was trembling!
Listening to his gentle laughter in the silent night, Ye Jian was constantly telling herself to always keep a distance from this dangerous and elegant man.
Never let him have the opportunity to disrupt her mind at any time and to steer the topic in the right direction!
“I can still wait even if you’re late, all the way until…” He bent his waist and his minty breath brushed across her cheek. He was so close to her… Ye Jian’s body tightened up.
Even her breath felt like it was following Xia Jinyuan’s rhythm… Her whole body was enveloped in his breath as she listened to his elegant and intoxicating voice, “Until you show up. No matter how late you would be.”
He knew that her body had tightened up. Even if her face was calm on the outside, he could see that her facial expressions were quivering. His smile on his handsome and elegant face grew wider.
His low and intoxicating voice was gentle like water, rendering Ye Jian’s heart powerless.
Even though this was her second life, she still couldn’t maintain her calmness and composure in front of Xia Jinyuan.
With her heart thumping, Ye Jian fixed her gaze on him and calmly replied, “Of course, you’ll have to wait for me. If you don’t, you will be the first one to get a scolding from the leader.”
After hearing that, Xia Jinyuan chuckled again.
Their faces were only a fist away. As he laughed, his minty warm breath sprayed on her cheek, and her heart trembled more. The defenses in her heart were fortified.
“That’s right. I have to wait for you before I can report to the leader. The leader is afraid that you would be scared by the sentinels. That’s why I came to pick you up. Turns out you reached after I left for a while. I almost got into trouble.”
Xia Jinyuan knew that she was avoiding him and he stopped teasing her. He moved on and talked about serious matters, “There’s a small meeting. There’s no time for you to rest. You need to attend the meeting right away.”
Ye Jian’s eyes could finally calmly meet his and she nodded earnestly, “I’ve rested on the plane for more than two hours. I don’t feel sleepy at all. I can attend it immediately.”
