Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Gu Li kept backing away, while he advanced at every step.
Retreating until she hit the wall, she had nowhere else to go. She held her towel that she has been using to dry her hair to her chest, looked up at him and stuttered, “What… What are you doing?”
Perhaps because of nervousness, her voice was slightly trembling. To Mo Shiting’s ears, her vulnerability added a certain allure to her voice.
Mo Shiting pinned her against the wall, gazing down at her.
His eyes inadvertently fell on her plump lips. Recalling their midday elevator kiss, his eyes beca unreadable.
He’d chalked it up to temporary madness before, yet found himself entertaining the sa thoughts at this mont.
Has this girl cast a spell on him? Why does he find himself having less than innocent thoughts whenever he sees her?
Or perhaps, he was no different from other n after all…
Mo Shiting squinted his eyes, radiating deep thought.
Seeing him stare at her unblinkingly, with an unfathomable expression that was almost frightening, Gu Li beca increasingly uneasy.
What on earth was he planning to do?
Had she truly angered him so much that he would kill her in a fit of rage, just because she told him that he’s a lousy kisser?
At that thought, Gu Li suppressed her fear and gave a weak smile, “Mr. Ting, what brings you to my room at such a late hour? Would you like a glass of water? If you let go of , I can fetch it for you.”
She flicked her still damp hair as she spoke.
The droplets of water from her hair splashed onto Mo Shiting’s face as she moved, with one even landing in his eye.
Mo Shiting blinked, and upon noticing Gu Li trying to escape in the corner of his eye, he involuntarily smirked, pulled her into his arms.
She was wearing a silk dress, the fabric was cool and soft, pleasant to touch.
With the fresh scent from her bath enveloping him, as he held her in his arms, he did not want to let her go.
Sensing his hand’s sowhat inappropriate position on her waist, Gu Li’s heart pounded so hard, it felt as if it might leap out of her throat.
Just as she was about to pull his hand away, he spoke through gritted teeth, “So my kissing skills are poor, huh?”
He drew out the last word, making Gu Li’s heart flutter.
Just as she thought, she had indeed overstepped the line.
She bit her lip in regret, her eyes darting around before hurriedly trying to flatter him, “I was just talking nonsense, Mo, with your magnanimous nature, you surely won’t take my words to heart, right?”
“Humph!”
Mo Shiting scoffed coldly.
Feeling cornered, Gu Li blurted out, “So, what do you want?”
“What do you think?”
“Fine, do whatever you want.”
With that, she closed her eyes, adopting a resigned attitude.
Seeing her reaction, Mo Shiting was left speechless.
But noticing her trembling lashes and the poorly concealed nervousness, his eyes softened mysteriously.
He decisively pulled the towel from her hand and abruptly placed it over her head.
“Change your dress, it’s ugly!”
Disgusted, he promptly pushed her aside.
Gu Li was left speechless,”….”
Did she pass?
Seeing him turn his back and walk towards the sofa, Gu Li dashed into her room as soon as possible and slamd the door shut behind her.
“Phew!”
Leaning against the door, she finally let out a sigh of relief.
Her heart was still racing. Looking down at her cool dress, she couldn’t help but wonder if the towel had concealed enough from his view?
However, thinking of the intimate interaction between them monts ago, her face couldn’t help but flush uncontrollably.
Fifteen minutes later, Gu Li erged from her room, perfectly dressed.
By now, her hair was also dry.
Mo Shiting hadn’t left; he was seated on her sofa, crossing his legs elegantly..
