Tang Yanqi’s mind went blank, her body instinctively following Sheng Jianan’s voice, her jaw gently parted, allowing the man to invade.
Whatever he said, Tang Yanqi would do, their lips and teeth entangled, the ambiguous atmosphere filled the bedroom.
Sheng Jianan wasn’t much better off than Tang Yanqi. The impulse to kiss her was sudden, but when their lips actually touched, Sheng Jianan felt every cell in his body stirring, he wanted more.
That’s why he told her to open her mouth, that’s why he told her to close her eyes.
Sheng Jianan has never had a girlfriend, not because he truly abstained but simply because he wasn’t interested in women.
All his memories of women remained in the summer of that year—the faint scent, the clean aura, and those soft hands.
So for women who were filled with the smell of chemicals, Sheng Jianan felt nothing but disgust.
But the person in front of him was different. Except for her sophisticated makeup on their wedding day, Tang Yanqi usually had a clean face. Her skin was fair, and her looks enduring; after all this time, he found her quite pleasant to look at.
Her lips were very soft, very Q. Although Sheng Jianan didn’t want to admit it, he had to concede he quite liked this feeling, he had an instinctual desire for her body.
Sheng Jianan’s hand unconsciously wrapped around Tang Yanqi’s waist, her slender waist fitting perfectly in his grip, he could feel the trembling of the woman in his arms, something suddenly flashed through his mind.
This feeling was too familiar, deep in his memories, it seemed there was once a woman who reacted similarly to his touch.
His mind was in turmoil for a moment, Sheng Jianan wrapped one arm around Tang Yanqi’s waist, the other hand cupping her nape to deepen the kiss.
After a lingering and deep kiss, it finally ended after a long while. Tang Yanqi’s brain was completely deprived of oxygen, losing all ability to think, until Sheng Jianan’s deep voice came from above, waking her as if from a dream.
"This is what you call proper thanks."
Tang Yanqi’s mind was fried, she only heard Sheng Jianan’s words, completely unaware of the awkward tone in his voice.
There can be many reasons a man would kiss a woman, the biggest possibility being that he likes her, but there are exceptions. Tang Yanqi’s lips curled in self-mockery; she really was lucky, always encountering the exception.
As for why Sheng Jianan would kiss her, Tang Yanqi wasn’t sure, but it certainly wasn’t that biggest possibility.
"Tang Yanqi, your technique is terrible. If you ever find a man in the future, you’ll definitely be disdained. I’ll graciously offer my guidance."
Before Tang Yanqi could speak, Sheng Jianan spoke again, his cocky tone irritating to hear, unpleasant, but instead of anger, Tang Yanqi felt a slight pang of pain.
Being told "if you ever find a man" by the man you like, who wouldn’t feel hurt?
Tang Yanqi bowed her head, hiding the expression on her face. When she looked up again, she was back to her usual indifferent self: "Then I’ll trouble Mr. Sheng to help me practice."
Sheng Jianan himself didn’t know how he uttered such an awkward sentence, only realizing when he pulled away that he had actually kissed Tang Yanqi, and that he actually found it quite nice. Bewildered by his actions, Sheng Jianan certainly wouldn’t admit that in that moment, he was truly attracted to her, which is why he uttered such nonsense.
