65 Are You Inviting Me?
"Why did you come here? I was about to bring it outside," Jiang Yuyan asked, using her chin to point towards the glasses and trying to maintain a fake angry face.
"Because I missed you," Lu Qiang replied.
His reply flustered her, but she tried not to react, knowing it was impossible to stop him. Placing a tray on the kitchen platform, she stepped forward, passed him a glass of juice, and took the other one for her.
She stood near the kitchen platform a few meters away from him, but he walked inside to stand beside her.
As both sipped the chilled juice from their glasses, she asked, "How did you know the parking space and security code?"
Lu Qiang took a sip and casually replied, "You guess."
Jiang Yuyan already guessed it but still made sure, "Brother Yang?"
"Hmm!" Nodding, Lu Qiang, added, "When we were on the way, he messaged me and asked me to be with you as he would be busy in surgery. He also sent me the information,"
She rolled her eyes as she mumbled, "What was the need when I was already with you."
"He might have thought you wouldn't let me in," Lu Qiang teased.
"Well, can't deny the possibility."
Once they were done, looking at Lu Qiang carrying a forced smile, Jiang Yuyan instructed, "As you have brought me back safe and sound, you can leave now, or you would be late."
"Huh? Are you in that hurry to send me back?" Lu Qiang gave her a questioning look.
Not replying to him, Jiang Yuyan Picked up both the glasses and put them near the sink, pretending that she heard nothing. How could she have said that she couldn't stay with him alone, or she might go insane?
Lu Qiang had a mischievous smile, "Ohh… I forgot to tell you something."
"What?"
Turning to look at him, she asked, taking it lightly, but little did she know, everything would happen opposite of what she thought.
Lu Qiang stepped towards her as he stood facing her, his hands tucked in his pant's pocket, "My friend, that means your brother told me to stay with you tonight, as he won't be returning till morning."
let's go to sleep now."

Upon hearing the last line, Lu Qiang couldn't help but smile slyly.

How could she have said that she couldn't stay with him alone, or she might morning."
Hearing it, she exclaimed, "What?... You...You can't stay here."
Lu Qiang stepped even closer, but Jiang Yuyan couldn't move back because of the kitchen platform. She stood frozen, leaning back to it, using her hands to support her body.
Moving his face closer to hers to keep just an inch distance, he asked in a shallow and seductive voice, "Are you afraid I will do something to you or are you afraid that.... you won't be able to resist me?"
His words left her stunned and speechless.
Clearing her choked throat, she replied, "I...I don't know, what do you mean? As you are staying here, let's go to sleep now."
Upon hearing the last line, Lu Qiang couldn't help but smile slyly.
Moving his face slightly back, he looked at her; however, she lowered her sight to look at the floor, feeling uneasy being so close to him.
Lifting her face by holding her chin to make her look at him, he asked in a husky voice, "Are you inviting me?"
"Huh?"
Jiang Yuyan's anxious mind took a while to process what he meant. When she understood, she pushed him away and replied annoyingly, "In your dreams. You will sleep in brother Yang's room".
He stepped back, and she strode towards the door of the kitchen.
Lu Qiang looked at her retreating back, "Well…I don't mind sharing your room".
Ignoring him, she asked him to follow her and took him to Jiang Yang's room.
As they entered the room, Jiang Yuyan said, "You will need a set of fresh clothes" and moved towards her brother's wardrobe to pull out a set of white night pajamas.
Standing a few steps away behind her with his hands tucked in his pant's pockets, Lu Qiang just observed her.
Turning to look at him while standing in front of a wardrobe, she asked, "Are you going to take a bath?"
"Yes! Do you want to join me?" He replied blatantly.
"Uurggg!"
Turning back to look into the wardrobe, she opened the right-side drawer, filled with undergarments. Taking out a random sealed pack, she closed the wardrobe and passed him the clothes.
Accepting it, Lu Qiang commented, "You know everything in your brother's wardrobe?"
"He knows mine even better than me."
Commenting, Jiang Yuyan stepped towards the room's door and turned to instruct him for the last time.
"If you need anything, please don't disturb me. I guess everything you need is already here. You can go anywhere in this house, and you can do whatever you want but JUST…STAY…AWAY…FROM…MY…
ROOM"
She made sure to use a firm voice to give pressure to every single word of the last line as if it was the warning.
Lu Qiang listened to everything she said with full attention.
Finishing her short speech full of warning, Jiang Yuyan turned to open the door by moving the doorknob, but a hand stopped her.
Lu Qiang was standing behind her to stop her from opening the door, his palm covering her hand's backside.
She couldn't move it, and anxiously asked, "W-What are you doing?"
He lowered his head towards her shoulder and said, "Haven't you just said I could do whatever I want in this house."
"Hmmm!" she agreed.
"And this is not your room. So...."
Gripping her hand, which held the doorknob, Lu Qiang turned Jiang Yuyan around and pinned her at the door. His hands prevented her from escaping, placing them on either side as his eyes gazed at her face.
She lifted her head to look at him, "That 'Anything' doesn't include this."
"This?... What do you mean by 'This'?" He asked while staring back into her eyes as if he could see through her soul.
Not replying to him, she stood frozen, her hands hanging down, clutching her dress on either side.
Lu Qiang knew what she meant but wanted to hear it from her. Noticing her reaction, he said, "I didn't do anything yet."
"You...!"
Before she could curse him, he pecked on her lips, "Are you talking about this?"
