Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The thin lips pressed against hers seemed unsatisfied with just grazing and grinding, as if they wanted to pry open her lips and conquer her mouth… Rong Yan’s mind suddenly flashed with images of a man and a woman entangled in a desperate embrace, sending a shiver down her spine. Abruptly, she pushed away the person who was passionately kissing her.
“Mr. Li, what are you doing?”
There was no more distance for her to retreat; she was pletely pinned against the wall in his embrace, the natural scent of his cologne from his chest seeping into every pore and cell, so overwhelmingly present it couldn’t be ignored!
Li Shengxiao’s eyes were deep as he looked down at the person in his arms who was breathing rapidly, her face flushed with color. He was certain that the intense pain in his head had magically disappeared the moment his lips met hers!
The warm and soft touch in his arms was exactly the same as before, without any aversion or disgust. His body showed no sign of rejection. Even when her small hand grazed his chest like a little cat, a sudden heat surged in his lower abdomen… This long-lost feeling made him grip the delicate wrist in his embrace tightly, his handsome face lowered, and his eagle-like eyes staring intently at Rong Yan’s face, he spoke in a husky voice, “If I say I mistook you for someone else, would you believe me?”
...
—If I say I mistook you for someone else, would you believe me?
His intense gaze made Rong Yan utterly disbelieving of his so-called mistake, but she couldn’t be so conceited to suggest that Li Shengxiao had intentionally wanted to kiss her. She was afraid she would be drowned by the saliva of Capital City’s women.
She struggled with her wrist awkwardly, “Oh, it’s okay, Mr. Li…”
Li Shengxiao didn’t want to let go of the delicate touch he held, but there would be other days. He let go of her wrist in a gentlemanly manner, “Who did you say you were looking for just now?”
The change of subject was so natural that nobody would think he did it on purpose.
After all, he was Li Shengxiao.
Why would Li Shengxiao change the subject to change the subject? Rong Yan indeed got distracted, “I came to find Doctor Cui.”
“Cui Jiangjing?”
“You know him?” She just wanted to pay and leave, “Mr. Li, do you know where
Doctor Cui is?”
“Family friends.”
Li Shengxiao put his hands into his coat pockets, not changing his expression, “He was just called away by the dean. You’re looking for him about the treatment fee, right?”
“Er, yes.”
“I just bumped into him. He casually mentioned it to me, and I’ve already given him the money.”
Cui Jiangjing, hiding in the closet, listened through the crack as the tall man outside talked calmly, blackening his name into someone who would fuss over a few hundred bucks. He was so mad he felt like bursting out of the closet.
Unfortunately, he didn’t have the guts.
He had just personally witnessed… holy shit… Li Shengxiao actually took the initiative to kiss a woman… and it was a forced kiss at that!
A forced kiss!
And it seemed like the lady wasn’t too pleased about it!
This, this, this…
“Since I’m here, I’ll take you back,” he offered.
His considerate and thorough manner was somewhat troubling, making Rong
Yan unsure of where to put her hands and feet.
To refuse would be slapping a smiling face.
To not refuse, she just felt awkward.
“I heard Miss Rong studied Chinese medicine abroad. I happen to have someone I’d like Miss Rong to take a look at for me.”
Rong Yan was about to refuse, but Li Shengxiao seemed to anticipate her response and interrupted before she could speak, “It’s a child, and it’s not convenient for me to take him out.’ A child!
Rong Yan suddenly looked up at him.
Could it be…
“He’s very lovable; you’ll like him. Thanks in advance, Miss Rong.” The man beside her didn’t even consider that she might refuse, not leaving her any chance to do so as he walked ahead, holding his coat.
Rong Yan,
Well then, she had no choice but to follow!
Cui Jiangjing waited until they were far away, then rolled and scrambled out of the closet, looking at their retreating figures. He frantically pulled out his phone and started making calls.
Li Shengxiao’s tactics in pursuing women were damn high-end, tricking someone, then a forced kiss, claiming a mistake, conveniently selling out a friend, taking the lady home, initiating a topic, and even involving his son… Impressive, the whole set of flirting techniques flowed seamlessly, leaving him absolutely stunned.
Who said the boss couldn’t woo a woman? From now on, he was his father!
