Ji Rui’s complexion isn’t very fair; it’s that wheat-colored skin unique to healthy n. But despite not being too pale, there are clearly two prominent dark circles under his long eyelashes.
Does this man, who is always energetic like a robot, also have monts where he is physically and ntally exhausted?
In an instant, it was as if an invisible hand stuffed her brain with a jumble of information about Ji Rui—both new and old, much more than Le Tong could process.
She turned her body and stared at Ji Rui in a daze. She didn’t know how long it took; with his eyes tightly closed, Ji Rui suddenly opened them, and his deep green eyes directly collided with Le Tong’s gaze.
"Is it nice to look at?"
Ji Rui’s deep and husky voice broke the long silence in the car, sounding abrupt yet sexy, like a mischievous kitten gently scratching the palm, causing a flutter in the listener’s heart that was hard to resist.
Le Tong continued staring at him without blinking, and, inexplicably, she nodded, then her tongue, beyond her control, said, "If only there weren’t those dark circles..."
"Heh heh..."
Ji Rui’s chest slightly heaved, and the magnetic, low laughter brushed past Le Tong’s ears, like willow branches swaying in a spring breeze, carrying endless elegance and myriad spring feelings.
Le Tong had known Ji Rui for so long and had hardly ever seen him with such a bright and seductive smile. Her brain, which was already stalled, completely froze at this point, as she stared blankly at Ji Rui’s handso face filled with pleasant smiles.
The joyful Ji Rui at that mont not only resembled Ji Baby in appearance, but even their deanor and expressions were extrely similar. The slightly lifted corners of his lips, which had shed their cold hardness, the curved eyes ward by the sun, and the slightly raised eyebrows because of his delight, all resembled Ji Baby when he was happy.
This Ji Rui left Le Tong entranced.
And this Le Tong, who seed like a silly goose with her sharp tongue and cleverness put away, unexpectedly made Ji Rui find her very interesting.
Originally, he thought that upon seeing Le Tong, he would want nothing more than to hang her up and give her a harsh beating, followed by every cruel word he could think of to scold and curse her.
But the mont he got out of the car and saw Le Tong, all his anger and hatred, and those poison-laced cruel words, all dissipated automatically. At that mont, he, amusingly, silently made a sign of the cross over his chest: Thank the Lord!
Yes, thank the Lord that he was able to find this woman!
This woman who had left him and his son sleepless for more than ten days!
All the ans he thought he would use to deal with this maliciously fleeing woman evaporated when he saw the face blooming with smiles in the sunlight, leaving only an almost spoken question, "Are you alright?"
But before he could react, this woman turned and ran the mont she saw him. Watching her futile sprint, his heart felt as if it were being ruthlessly torn.
Her actions rcilessly conveyed a ssage: she does not want to see him!
She still wants to escape him!
He thought her heartless turn would make him angry, but surprisingly, he felt no anger!
Only a slowly surfacing sadness.
He didn’t understand why he felt sad. This emotion was unfamiliar to him, so he couldn’t discern its source.
The mont he parted those police officers, he forcibly suppressed the various abnormal emotions in his heart, such as excitent and joy, which usually only arose when Baobao saw this woman, now truly surfaced in his heart but were all suppressed by his strong rationality. He deliberately used a cold and icy tone to ask her, "Le Tong, you’re getting the point wrong, aren’t you? It’s what do you want to do, not what we want to do!"
God knows that at that ti, he didn’t want to say any nonsense, but only to reach out and hold her tightly in his arms!
However, even though the desire in his heart was intensely roaring, he still pretended to be indifferent and composed, approaching her step by step.
Because he didn’t dare!
He feared that getting too close would scare her away!
Until she sat in the car and the car smoothly drove onto the road, his heart, which had been suspended in midair for more than ten days, finally slowly settled to the ground.
Watching her quietly sit beside him, even without any intimate interaction, the atmosphere in the carriage made him feel safe and comfortable.
This sense of serenity that made one want to have a good sleep hadn’t been around him for how long?
Watching her lips move, he knew she eagerly wanted to clarify with him, probably once again wanting to tell him to let her go!
But this ti, no matter what, he wouldn’t let her go again!
She said they should have a good talk, so talk it will be; as long as she is within his sight, they could talk however she wanted!
So he told her he’d give her half an hour, though it was actually for himself, to take a good rest and prepare for the verbal battle with her shortly.
Only he knew how he had managed to support himself through each day in the busy work of the Ji Family and with his heartbroken baby for the past ten or so days.
At this mont, the person he was looking for was right beside him. Just like countless days before, quietly, obediently staying by his side, even if her quietness and obedience were rely a façade, it always inexplicably made him feel at ease.
The tense nerves finally relaxed under the peaceful atmosphere. He didn’t know how long he had slept until a scorching beam of light fell on his face, its hot temperature first awakening his sensory nerves.
Initially, he thought it was the bright sun outside shining in and didn’t intend to pay attention, but later, the light seed to continuously heat up, and the temperature on his face got so high that he thought it might burn a hole through his face.
Only then did he notice sothing was amiss and opened his eyes to et her pair of dark and beautiful eyes.
In those pitch-black pupils, there was no usual clarity and brightness, but rather a dazed and hazy state with a hint of infatuation, which stirred Ji Rui’s spirits and brought forth waves of inexplicable joy.
That question, unlike anything he would say, involuntarily slipped out of his mouth, "Is it nice to look at?"
Saying such words tinged with seduction, he wasn’t at all like himself!
Then, before he could explore his anomaly, he heard her silly reply: If only there weren’t those dark circles...
If only...
She wouldn’t understand how much room for imagination her words afforded Ji Rui.
At that mont, he couldn’t suppress the joy in his heart and laughed "Heh heh."
If only there weren’t those dark circles!
He thought, with her decisively escaping his side, she must really dislike him!
But her words revealed her concern for him without any reservation!
[Happy New Year, beauties! Here’s the first update; there will be a second update a bit later!]
