Before he could take the next step, Tang Li, like a startled rabbit, abruptly turned her face away and dodged.
Lu Jianshen's kiss landed on her sensitive neck, sending shivers down her spine. In an instant, all her strength vanished, and soft moans escaped her lips.
Tang Li felt her heart pounding uncontrollably, almost bursting out of her chest.
It seems she can no longer see Lu Jianshen as an ordinary friend, a true family member...
"land……"
Her voice was completely swallowed up by Lu Jianshen's passionate kiss.
The man gently kissed her lips, her ears, her neck, and then down...
Tang Li's heart stopped beating; her mind went completely blank, and she didn't know what to do next.
She froze completely, feeling a tingling, numb sensation all over her body, as if a faint electric current was passing through her; she was utterly at a loss.
Lu Jianshen wasn't drunk at all; to be precise, he was three-tenths drunk. He was still conscious, but he had completely lost control over Tang Li.
Seeing that she was scared and completely frozen, he didn't take any further steps. He just held her tightly, reluctant to let go, and leaned down to gently rub her nose and slowly kiss her cheeks and ears.
Tang Li's mind gradually cleared up. She pushed Lu Jianshen away, lay down on one side of the bed, and gasped for breath.
Was he sober or drunk?
After a long while, she slowly turned her face to look at Lu Jianshen, who was lying there, fast asleep.
Tang Li quickly patted her chest, hurriedly got up, and left Lu Jianshen's bedroom.
As soon as the door closed, the man lying on the bed slowly opened his eyes; it was the first time he had ever felt so timid.
He was actually afraid of being discovered by Tang Li that he was awake, so he pretended to be asleep. If Chen Lei knew, he would probably laugh himself to death!
Lu Jianshen shook his head, a helpless smile on his face, blaming himself for not having strong willpower and failing to control himself.
How am I going to face her tomorrow?
Otherwise, just be honest...
His thoughts are too deep to hide for long. If Tang Li can't accept it, he should let her know first and then find a way to proceed gradually.
In the bathroom, Tang Li kept rinsing her face with cold water, trying to clear her mind.
Why am I still so confused, as if a little deer is jumping around in my heart, and my face is flushed?
She stood quietly by the vanity, wondering how she would face Lu Jianshen tomorrow morning, as if nothing had happened tonight.
What was Lu Jianshen thinking? Would he forget everything that happened tonight, or would he keep asking himself questions?
Tang Li shook her head, trying to clear the jumbled thoughts from her mind, but she couldn't fall asleep in bed.
Her mind was filled with every moment she had spent with Lu Jianshen during this time, replaying it over and over again.
Yan Zhenzhen said that Lu Jianshen had ulterior motives towards her, but she didn't think so. Now, she's not sure anymore.
Knowing that Lu Jianshen has other feelings for her, can she still live in the Lu family with a clear conscience?
With so many thoughts swirling in her mind, Tang Li didn't know when she finally fell asleep.
All she knew was that when she woke up, Lu Jianshen had already left.
"That's strange, it's only eight o'clock."
Tang Li glanced at the time and thought to herself that this was fine, so that the two of them wouldn't feel awkward when they met.
Now that he's sober, does he remember what happened last night?
Lu's Group.
Lu Jianshen had very noticeable dark circles under his eyes. After making a cup of coffee, he continued to sit there and work.
It wasn't until Chen Lei, ever the gossip, came over and asked him about last night's progress.
"Last night, a man and a woman were alone in a room, and you even had a few drinks, Mr. Lu. Didn't you make any progress at all?"
"have."
Lu Jianshen sighed, looking quite anxious. "It seems she knows."
Chen Lei raised an eyebrow slightly, "You like her, but you don't want to harm her, Mr. Lu. It's okay if Miss Tang finds out."
Lu Jian took a deep breath and pursed his lips.
"I left early this morning to avoid running into you. I don't know how to face you. Maybe I should be more straightforward?"
He was still preoccupied with this issue, which reduced his work efficiency.
"That's possible." Chen Lei paused, then added, "But what if Miss Tang wants to move out to avoid suspicion?"
Won't it be even harder to pursue her then? As the saying goes, those who are near the water get the moon first.
Moreover, Miss Tang is beautiful, and if she lives alone, she will easily attract the attention of other suitors, which will make it a long and arduous road for Mr. Lu to win her heart.
Lu Jianshen's gaze was distant. "Now I actually hope she's the kind of person who'll stop at nothing to achieve her goals. If she's willing to use me, that would be great."
He sighed and finally made a decision.
"I've made up my mind. I'll be honest."
Chen Lei nodded; he would support whatever his boss did.
The Lu Group's booming development over the years has proven that every choice Mr. Lu made was correct!
"The boss is right, we should be more sincere with our loved ones!"
Lu Jianshen wasn't the only one feeling uneasy; Tang Li was in no better shape.
As Cheng Qi passed by Tang Li, she paused for a moment, then leaned over to take a look. "Miss Tang, why do you seem a little distracted today? You've even picked up the map upside down?"
"Is there?"
Tang Li then came to her senses; she had indeed been staring at a picture that was upside down for a long time.
Cheng Qi was puzzled but didn't ask any further questions until she received a WeChat message from Lu Jianshen.
President Lu: "Cheng Qi, how is Tang Li today? Is she feeling alright?"
Cheng Qi: "Mr. Lu, Miss Tang seems a bit distracted, like she's lost her soul."
Lu Jianshen nodded. It seemed that what happened last night affected more than just him; Tang Li was not entirely unaffected either.
He needs to take his uncontrollable emotions from last night even more seriously.
I thought Tang Li wouldn't bring lunch today, but when it was lunchtime, she still came over with two lunchboxes.
"I've brought you your food."
"Okay, sure."
The two sat down in Lu Jianshen's office, but neither of them said anything else, and the atmosphere became somewhat awkward for a moment.
Lu Jianshen then asked, "Won't running back and forth like this waste your time?"
Tang Li shook her head. "No, the studio isn't very busy at noon."
Lu Jianshen added, "Your marketing tactics have been quite effective lately, bringing in a lot of new orders for the studio, haven't they?"
"Yes, sales are pretty good, thanks to your popularity."
They were all obviously trying to break the awkward silence, and Lu Jianshen suddenly felt a little ashamed of himself.
He, a grown man, actually acted so cowardly.
"Tang Li, I... I'm sorry about last night, I..."
Even the usually composed and strategic CEO Lu was stuttering.
Tang Li interrupted him and said for him, "No need to apologize, you've had too much to drink."
"Will you be angry?" Lu Jianshen looked at her cautiously, then promised earnestly, "I won't do it again next time."
Yesterday, I couldn't control myself. It's hard for any man to remain unmoved when faced with a girl he likes.
