Meng Ruozhao "shared" many items in a row, but without exception, Pei Jiangmu found numerous flaws in them.
She couldn't help but look up at him. Her eyes were glistening, like an innocent and alluring fawn. Her red lips parted slightly as she murmured in confusion.
"But these are all free. What else could you ask for?"
She used a net slang she learned from the comment section.
A man who was both handsome and "genuine", perfect in every aspect, wouldn't be so generous.
Pei Jiangmu's Adam's apple rolled again.
"Ruozhao, I'm free too. You can look at me and even touch me."
He grabbed her hand and pressed it against his abs.
The phone dropped onto the carpet with a faint "thud".
Meng Ruozhao blinked her eyes as if trying to understand his words.
Just when Pei Jiangmu thought he had gone too far, she suddenly smiled.
She was extremely beautiful to begin with. Now, the corners of her eyes were flushed, misty with moisture. With a smile, she exuded a captivating charm.
"Then little brother Pei is also a male bodhisattva."
These words were like the strongest aphrodisiac, completely igniting Pei Jiangmu's long - suppressed desire.
He didn't hesitate any longer. He lowered his head and fiercely captured those lips he had been coveting for so long.
"Um...!"
The sudden kiss was domineering and passionate.
With an irresistible force, it instantly took away all of Meng Ruozhao's breath and thoughts.
Her alcohol - numbed brain was unable to think. All that remained was the thrilling tingling sensation on her lips that swept through her whole body.
She instinctively wanted to retreat, but the man's strong arm tightened around her, pressing her deeper into his scorching embrace.
This kiss carried a hint of punishment, yet was also filled with extreme longing and tenderness. It was like an army attacking a city, lingering and reluctant to leave.
Pei Jiangmu skillfully pried open her teeth and deepened the kiss, greedily sucking in her sweetness as if he wanted to devour her whole.
At first, Meng Ruozhao just endured passively. Later, she gradually went limp all over from the kiss, and her mind became even more dazed.
Soon, she could only lean against him, unconsciously letting out soft whimpers.
The hands that were on his chest and abs stopped moving and only trembled slightly.
This seemed to annoy the man a bit.
He suddenly stopped and asked her, "Why stop touching? Ruozhao, do you think my muscles aren't good enough?"
After saying that, he grabbed her hand and guided it to grope randomly on his body.
Meng Ruozhao was no match for him. She could only keep retreating.
She was completely lost in the passion.
The temperature in the air rose sharply. The ambiguous factors were raging wildly in the silent living room.
Pei Jiangmu's hand was no longer content to stay on her back.
With a burning temperature, it slowly slid down, caressing her slender waist.
Even through the thin fabric of her home clothes, he could feel the amazing softness and heat.
His kiss also gradually became long and lingering.
From the initial domineering and strong, it was now tinged with a thick color of lust.
Just as his hand was tentatively trying to go further—
"Ding - dong—Ding - dong—Ding - dong—"
The urgent and loud doorbell was like a cold awl, suddenly piercing through the charming and warming ambiguous bubble in the room.
Pei Jiangmu's movement suddenly stopped.
The passionate kiss ended abruptly.
Meng Ruozhao was also startled by this sudden noise and opened her eyes hazily.
Her eyes were still unfocused, with the glistening moisture after passion and the confusion of being interrupted.
Pei Jiangmu took a deep breath, pressing his forehead against hers, gasping heavily.
In his eyes was the still - lingering raging passion and the extreme annoyance and hostility of being interrupted.
Who?
Who would come at this time?
More importantly, who would find this place?
He didn't want to pay attention. He just wanted to continue what they had left unfinished.
However, the doorbell rang relentlessly, as if it wouldn't stop until the door was opened.
"Um... so noisy..."
Meng Ruozhao in his arms frowned uncomfortably and unconsciously rubbed against him in his arms as if complaining.
This unconscious movement was like adding fuel to the fire.
Pei Jiangmu closed his eyes. When he opened them again, the lust in his eyes was forcibly suppressed, replaced by a cold chill.
He carefully laid the limp Meng Ruozhao back on the sofa and propped her up with a cushion.
"Be good. Wait a minute."
He soothed her in a hoarse voice. When he stood up, his face was so gloomy that it seemed to drip water.
He tidied up his messy tank - top and walked towards the door with the still - lingering heat and a terrifying low pressure.
It'd better be that the person outside the door had a good enough reason, or else...
He suddenly yanked open the door.
Standing outside was Ai Gao, looking anxious and about to press the doorbell again.
When she saw that it was Pei Jiangmu who opened the door, she was stunned at first.
Especially when she met his cold eyes that seemed to kill, she was so scared that she subconsciously took half a step back.
"Little Pei? Why are you here? Oh, I forgot. You're roommates with Ruozhao..."
Ai Gao stammered, feeling miserable in her heart. It seemed that she had come at a bad time?
This little brother Pei usually looked innocent and harmless, but now, he looked so fierce.
"Um, have you seen Linlin? She didn't go home last night, and she doesn't answer my calls."
"I've searched everywhere I could think of, but I have no clue. I'm worried that something might have happened to her."
"Just now when I passed by here, I suddenly remembered that Ruozhao lived here, so I thought I'd ask if she had been in touch with Linlin."
"But no one answered my call, so I had to come here... I'm sorry to bother you."
Ai Gao explained in a rush, and she really seemed extremely anxious.
She and Xu Lin were college classmates and had always had a good relationship. Neither of them was from Haicheng.
After graduation, neither of them went back to their hometown. They both stayed in Haicheng to pursue their careers.
Haicheng was a big city with many opportunities, but it also meant greater competition pressure.
When they entered [Floating Cloud Pavilion], they had just both lost their jobs and were almost unable to pay the rent.
The treatment offered by Meng Ruozhao was very good. There was not only a generous basic salary but also commissions.
They both became more and more confident in their work here, believing that they would surely establish themselves in Haicheng one day.
So they both took their work very seriously.
This time, it was Meng Ruozhao who had "forced" them to take a two - day vacation.
Since the costumes for "The Old Friends in the Mountains and Seas" were temporarily finished, and the other orders weren't urgent.
These two had been working with Meng Ruozhao for more than a month. It was only reasonable for them to take a vacation.
Who would have thought that this vacation would lead to problems.
Since yesterday, Xu Lin said she was going downstairs to buy some snacks and had never appeared again.
Ai Gao had searched all the places she usually went to, but found nothing.
That was why she had no choice but to come to Meng Ruozhao.
Pei Jiangmu stood at the door without any intention of letting Ai Gao in.
He just looked at her with his now - calm eyes, his voice completely devoid of any warmth.
"She hasn't come here. We've been together all the time. Have you called the police?"
Ai Gao looked a bit dejected. "I've called the police. The police checked the nearby surveillance cameras, but there's no result."
"Linlin doesn't have a boyfriend, and she has no relatives here. Where could she be?"
"Little brother Pei, could you call Ruozhao? Isn't her fiancé Mr. Yan?"
"Could we ask Mr. Yan for help?"
Although not many people outside knew about Meng Ruozhao and Yan Qiubai, her two employees still knew about it.
Ai Gao was at her wit's end now. She could only try everything.
