Ji Nuan took a shower right after she returned to her room. Although it was past midnight, she had taken a long nap in the car earlier and did not feel sleepy.
After showering and drying her hair, she changed into a set of comfortable sleepwear. At this moment, a room service staff knocked on the door and informed her that CEO Mo had instructed them to serve her brown sugar water every night. The brown sugar water had already been prepared, but they were not sure if she still wanted it at this time.
Ji Nuan opened the door, receiving the brown sugar water and offering her thanks. Coincidentally, the door across her room opened at the same time. The moment she met the man’s gaze, Ji Nuan shifted her eyes away. She did not look at him and turned to return to her room with the cup in her hand.
Upon noticing Mo Jingshen’s appearance, the room service staff nodded toward him politely. “Mr. Mo.”
Mo Jingshen returned the nod mildly before glancing toward the door Ji Nuan had rapidly shut.
Ji Nuan was about to sip on her drink when she heard the door clicking open behind her. She faltered in her movements and angrily turned back to the man who had openly stepped into her room. “Mo Jingshen, you entered my room without asking again!”
The man glanced at the sleepwear she was wearing: “Do you always dress like this at home?”
Ji Nuan lowered her head to look at her nightgown. It was a dark pink spaghetti strap nightgown made with real silk. It wasn’t a tacky shade of pink, and on her, it appeared especially seductive. She had received this nightgown as a birthday gift from Xiao Ba back when they were still in London. Apparently, Xiao Ba had spent half of her monthly paycheck to buy it. As it was made of real silk, it was especially comfortable. Ji Nuan enjoyed wearing it, and in the past two years, she often wore it at home.
She had only found the spaghetti strapped silk nightgown to be comfortable, but from the man’s point of view, there was much more to it…
Ji Nuan sensed that her shoulders and collarbones were revealed. Her cleavage was also peeking slightly through the low neckline. She pursed her lips and took a step back with the cup in her hands. “I wear it frequently because it’s comfortable. Anyway, I’m usually the only one at home. For this trip, I packed all the clothes I’m used to wearing. It’s just a nightgown. Is there anything inappropriate about it?”
After speaking, she took several mouthfuls of the brown sugar water. She finished half of it and placed the cup down. She then turned back to the painting worth six billion yuan by her bedside table. She paused for a moment before speaking, “It’s late now. Don’t we still have quite some work to do tomorrow? I can’t keep delaying our schedule in Jing City. We should sleep early… as for this painting, thank you, really.”
“You’ve thanked me more than three times tonight. How am I supposed to know if you’re being sincere?”
“…”
“Do you remember what you promised me earlier?”
What did she promise?
Ji Nuan’s hands were empty, and it strangely left her feeling defenseless. She thought to hold the cup once more, but the moment she shifted her hand down, the man took hold of her wrist and pulled her over. She was caught off guard and fell into his embrace.
Her nose knocked against the man’s chest and ached a little. Ji Nuan took a sharp breath and raised her head. The man’s gaze was dark and seemed to indicate that something had to happen tonight. Her body tightened with tension: “What are you doing?”
“You promised me. Physical compensation, limited to tonight. En?”
“…”
Ji Nuan attempted to shake his hand off but was unsuccessful. “So what? You know that I’m on my period right now.”
The man took hold of her chin with his distinct fingers. He paid no attention to the issues of period and great-aunt she brought up, and kept her in his arms. His light-coloured lips directly and accurately pressed onto hers.
Ji Nuan widened her eyes.
What was the meaning of this?
Could it be that the man had restrained himself to the point where he had lost all reason? He no longer cared about her period? Was he going to do it nonetheless?! Did he wish for a blood-soaked battle?
Ji Nuan knew, and had always known, that when it came to the things Mo Jingshen wanted to do, there was no one who could possibly stop him.
She frantically tried to push him away, biting down on his lips harshly. She forced some distance between the two of them with great difficulty, but her nervous state caused her to struggle to speak coherently, “I’ve only been in Jing City for three days. On the first day, you already came into my room, and you did it again on the second day. Do you plan on actually sleeping here tonight? Don’t force me to take a flight straight back to Hai City, Mo Jingshen, you… uu!”
She kept backing up, while the man kept approaching. In the end, before she finished her words, the man stretched his arms and caught hold of her waist. He brought her back into his embrace and kissed her deeply, blocking her lips.
Mo Jingshen narrowed his eyes. Right before she began to struggle for air, he finally left her some space to breath. However, his lips remained pressed against hers as he spoke huskily, “I won’t disturb you when you wish to sleep. Since you’re on your period, I won’t touch you either. But you’re dressed in such a manner before my eyes. I feel that there isn’t a need for me to be polite any further.”
Before Ji Nuan could reply, the man began to explore her lips once more. He forced her teeth apart and kissed her thoroughly. The intimacy left Ji Nuan numb and trembling, and she felt her strength being drained away by this deeply passionate kiss.
As the man pressed her onto the bed, Ji Nuan could only manage a low cry of shock before she was kissed again. Her waist was held as he shifted them toward the centre of the bed.
Several seconds later, the man easily took hold of her wrists before she could push him away. He did not force them aside, and actually tugged them down…
Ji Nuan’s hands trembled. She stared in disbelief at the heat in the man’s eyes and bit down on his lips harshly once more: “Mo Jingshen, what exactly are you trying to…”
Ji Nuan’s hands were forcefully held there. Her face quickly flushed scarlet red: “You…”
His ink-black eyes seemed to contain limitless desire: “Just this much.”
“…”
This much?!
She understood almost immediately!
Fuck! This bastard!
She should have known that coming to Jing City was akin to stepping into a lion’s den. She had naively believed that her great-aunt would be sufficient to protect her, but failed to consider that this despicable man already regarded her as the meat delivered to his lips. From the beginning, he never planned on letting her off.
His breath was heavier than earlier. It was hot and heavy, scattering across her neck. The distinct and burning sensation caused all of her senses and surroundings to be dominated by the man.
And because of this deeply intimate kiss… she felt her body melting.
The weak, rational side of Ji Nuan’s mind helped her keep a tight grip around the man’s clothes. Despite this, she could only raise her head and endure his passionate kiss. Her hands pushed against his chest insistently…
