Chapter 109 Fortunately, she didn't find out

When Jiang Tingwan woke up, it was already noon.

The sunlight came in through the gap in the curtains, casting a golden streak on the floor.

As she regained consciousness, she felt something warm gently caressing her lips.

She frowned slightly, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Lu Zhaoye half-supporting himself, his slender fingers tracing the shape of her lips, with a satisfied smile in his eyes.

"Awake?" His voice was low and hoarse, as if it had been sanded, with a hint of laziness and complacency.

Jiang Tingwan's mind was still a little confused, but the memories of last night came flooding back. She subconsciously glanced at the clothes scattered on the ground - several buttons of her shirt were broken, and her skirt was wrinkled and piled aside.

Her cheeks felt hot and she raised her foot to kick him off the bed, but as soon as she moved her leg, she gasped in pain.

"hiss--"

Seeing this, Lu Zhaoye chuckled and put his palm directly on the base of her thigh, kneading it with moderate force. "Don't move, I'll help you massage it."

His movements were so skillful that they seemed as if they had been planned in advance. The warmth from his fingertips was transmitted through the skin, which relieved Jiang Tingwan's pain a lot.

Jiang Tingwan bit her lower lip and stared at him unwillingly, but the pain was indeed relieved a lot. Forget it, he was the culprit, this was what she deserved.

She simply gave up struggling and slumped down on the bed like a lazy cat, commanding: "A little higher... Yes, right there. Use a little more force."

Lu Zhaoye raised his eyebrows, but did not refute and just did as he was told.

For a moment, the only sounds in the room were the two people's breathing and the occasional sound of fabric rubbing against each other.

Jiang Tingwan closed her eyes and enjoyed herself, almost forgetting the absurdity of last night.

Until Lu Zhaoye suddenly spoke——

"What is our relationship now?"

His voice was very soft, but it was like a stone hitting the calm lake.

Jiang Tingwan was originally feeling drowsy from the comfort, but she woke up completely after hearing what he said. She found that he was staring at her without blinking, his eyes so focused that her heart skipped a beat.

She subconsciously looked away and pretended to be stupid: "What's the relationship?"

Lu Zhaoye narrowed his eyes, obviously not buying it.

He pinched the soft flesh on the back of her neck, forced her to turn her face, then lowered his head and gave her a light kiss on the forehead.

His eyes still held the excitement and greed of experiencing love for the first time, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised: "Don't play dumb, Jiang Tingwan, we are already like this."

There was a certainty in his tone that brooked no rejection, but Jiang Tingwan felt her ears burning.

She couldn't help but clutch the quilt tightly, cursing in her heart, what the hell is this shyness in this person's eyes? He was clearly a hungry wolf pouncing on his food last night, and now he is putting on an expression of first love.

Besides, if they had to confirm their relationship after sleeping together, then she and Shen Guan... She suddenly cut off this dangerous thought and dared not think about it anymore. Even if Shen Guan was easy to talk to, if she agreed to Lu Zhaoye, she would not get any benefits...

"You drank too much last night, I'll just pretend nothing happened." She said casually, trying to get away with it.

"No." Lu Zhaoye shook his head, his tone firm, "Although I was drunk, I remember it very clearly--" He leaned close to her ear, lowered his voice, and said with a somewhat malicious smile, "You didn't push me away."

His tone gradually softened, with a hint of coquettishness, and he leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Baby."

The word "baby" made Jiang Tingwan tremble all over and her scalp tingle.

Not long ago, he was the annoying guy who argued with her all day and despised her in every way. Now he has become like this... It's too scary...

She resisted the urge to hit him and laughed dryly: "Let's talk about it when we get back to Kyoto."

She had to delay it as long as possible; her mind was still in a mess and she couldn't think calmly.

Lu Zhaoye stared at her, his eyes darkening: "Are you running away?" His fingers gently stroked her earlobe with a subtle teasing.

Jiang Tingwan forced out a fake smile: "How is that possible? Don't you have any trust in me at all?"

Lu Zhaoye squinted at her for a few seconds, then suddenly chuckled, as if he had seen through her plan but didn't expose it.

He lowered his eyes, and his tone suddenly softened, with a hint of coquettishness: "Then kiss me."

Jiang Tingwan was stunned. She didn't expect him to suddenly make such a request.

She hesitated for a moment, and in order to steady him, she had to move closer, lightly touched his lips, and quickly withdrew as if she had completed her mission.

Unfortunately, before she could move away, Lu Zhaoye grabbed the back of her head and deepened the kiss.

His lips and tongue invaded her territory domineeringly, with a force that could not be refused.

Jiang Tingwan's breathing became disordered due to his kiss, and her fingers unconsciously clenched the bed sheets.

After a long while, he finally let her go with satisfaction, a smile of triumph in his eyes.

"Remember, you promised."

He whispered, his fingertips brushing the corners of her lips lightly, as if marking his territory.

Jiang Tingwan stayed in bed for a long time before getting up. She dragged her almost falling apart body to the living room, only to find that a bouquet of flowers had been replaced on the vase at some point.

"Seven-Li Fragrance?" Jiang Tingwan fiddled with it with her fingers for a few times. "When did you buy it?"

Lu Zhaoye was making breakfast in the kitchen. Hearing this, he paused and said, "I saw it on the road yesterday and thought it looked good, so I bought it."

Jiang Tingwan nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

Yesterday afternoon, Lu Zhaoye bought a bundle of rope from the grocery store. He really wanted to tie her up and take her back, but on the way here, he caught a glimpse of this bunch of sweet olives. The white petals were as cold and pure as she was.

So it became holding the rope in the left hand and a bouquet of flowers in the right hand.

He glanced at the TV cabinet, luckily she didn't notice...
