Chapter 1079: Did You Miss Me?
Lin Xuanji didn’t move, but her grip tightened on the books in her arms.
A bigger smile hinted at the edges of Lu Jinwen’s mouth. “It’s only been two weeks and you can’t recognize me already?”
Lin Xuanji a twinge in her chest. She batted her lashes, lowering her head. “No thanks, Mr Lu. I’ve already reached my place.”
She turned around, turning into the district.
She rejected him.
She hadn’t gotten in his car.
Seeing her leave, Lu Jinwen narrowed his eyes. He was displeased and his gaze was cold and piercing.
…
Lin Xuanji entered the apartment building and she heard some steady footsteps behind. Someone was following her.
Was it him?
It must be him.
Why did he follow her?
She sped up, running towards the elevator.
Lu Jinwen had one hand in his pocket, while holding his car keys with the other. Lin Xuanji had started to run, her hair flowing behind her as she ran away like a frightened deer, trying to shake him off.
He raised the corners of his lips, tender and adoring.
Once she reached the elevator, Lin Xuanji quickly pressed the button for the door to open. She ran inside in a panic, pressing the door closed frantically.
Right before the door closed, she could see him outside. He had followed her, but he walked over at his own pace. Even right before the elevator doors shut, he hadn’t sped up.
He just looked at her so calmly, a faint smile on his lips.
Lin Xuanji had a feeling, she somehow could never run away from his clutches. He wasn’t really on her heels, it felt like he was just letting her run just because she wanted to.
The elevator door closed and Lin Xuanji leaned back, gasping for fresh air. She had finally gotten rid of him.
This man’s aura was too strong. Though she had feelings for him, she was also very afraid of him at the same time. She didn’t dare look at him and could muster her courage and only take secret glances at him.
It was the feeling of a first love, it felt wonderful.
He was her first love.
However…
With the reminder of the incident that happened in the hotel room two weeks ago, tears welled up in her eyes. She no longer had her chastity.
She had… nothing to offer him anymore.
She couldn’t muster up her courage to raise that one question. Would he still accept her?
Lin Xuanji lifted her watery eyes, looking at the lift level slowly increase. Her apartment was on the 16th floor, the red number continued increasing. 1,2…10, 11…15, 16.
Finally, she reached the 16th floor.
Lin Xuanji prepared to step out of the elevator.
But the lift jerked, the door didn’t open. The lift started going down and the level number decreased, 16, 15…11, 10…2, 1.
—-The elevator is going down now, please take note of your safety.
Oh god.
What was going on?
Lin Xuanji gasped, why wasn’t the elevator working properly?
She reached the first floor again. Ding! When Lin Xuanji was still confused about the entire situation, the elevator doors opened.
Lu Jinwen stood tall outside the elevator, his handsome face appearing in front of her.
Lin Xuanji was stunned.
What just happened?
Seeing her in a daze, Lu Jinwen stretched out his arm, holding her wrist and he pulled her out of the elevator. With a doting voice, he asked, “You’re not going to stop making a scene?”
You’re the one making a scene! Especially when you smile!
Lin Xuanji’s heart pounded as she was reminded of the lot she had received at the temple.
“I’m not making a scene,” she said softly.
Lu Jinwen held her wrist, pinning her against the wall as he sandwiched her between himself and the wall. Furrowing his brows, he slowly leaned forward, taking a deep sniff of her hair beside her face.
Her hair brushed against his cheek, his nose was filled with the fragrance from her hair. He had already planned to do that when he was at the campus entrance earlier. It was indeed a good move.
Since they had a height difference, Lin Xuanji’s entire body was completely in his embrace. She stretched her arms out, but they touched his trim waist instead. All she could grab was the leather belt around his waist.
She could feel his strong, defined muscles underneath his clothes.
No one should ever touch a man’s waist and belt so easily.
She quickly retracted her hand, as though she had been scalded.
“You’re angry with me? You’re angry because I didn’t contact you for two weeks?” Lu Jinwen said with a magnetic voice, “I’m sorry, Baby, I’ve been quite busy.”
Lin Xuanji’s heart started thumping wildly. She forgave him too easily. “I’m not angry…”
“Let me hug you then.”
He placed his hands on her svelte waist, grasping it as he lifted her up.
“Ah!”
Lin Xuanji was shocked. He had lifted her up so high, she quickly stretched her arms out to hold onto his neck.
“Ha.” Lu Jinwen let out a chuckle. “You’ve grown a little taller but you haven’t gained any weight at all. You’re not even 90 pounds.”
Lin Xuanji’s face flushed red, he said that she had grown a little taller…
She was reminded of Yanmei’s words, Mr Lu doted on her as if she was his daughter.
She still wore the longevity lock he had given her around his neck. It was hidden under her red knit sweater, now that he had lifted her up and she was taller than him, it formed a stark contrast.
Lin Xuanji lowered her eyes, wanting to bite down on her lower lip. But the next moment, she felt a twinge on her lip.
Lu Jinwen had bitten her lip lightly.
He bit her?
Lin Xuanji looked at him with her bright and clear eyes.
“You’re feeling indignant? Come and bite me then.”
Lin Xuanji responded to his provocation, she opened her mouth, biting down on his lip with her pearly white teeth.
“Ha.”
Lin Xuanji’s ears turned red, they were so sweet together. Mm, she had fallen into his trap again.
Burying her face in his neck, she nuzzled against his neck coyly.
Lu Jinwen started kissing her face. “Did you miss me? You’ve appeared in my dreams every night.”
“…”
Lin Xuanji buried her face even deeper. She missed him! How could she possibly not miss him?
However…
Lin Xuanji was suddenly reminded of the incident. All the color drained from her face and she began resisting him. She didn’t even take the elevator, but ran to take the stairs instead.
…
After returning to her studio apartment, Lin Xuanji entered the bathroom to take a hot shower.
The warm water came from the top, running all over her body from head to toe. She hugged herself with both arms. His scent was everywhere, in her mind, in her mouth.
How was she going to face him?
Should she just be honest with him?
Was he angry with her since she just left him behind alone downstairs?
Was he gone yet?
Wiping away the water droplets on her body, she changed into a negligee and walked into her room.
There was a delicate gift box in her room. It was a gift from Yanmei on the day of her coming of age ceremony, the day she became an adult. She hadn’t opened it since the day she received it.
What was it?
Lin Xuanji opened the box and found a CD inside. She inserted the CD in her computer and clicked it open to see the contents.
It was a screen of Japanese words. Lin Xuanji only took a glance at it when there was the sound of someone opening the door.
Was someone breaking into her studio apartment?!
