Finally finishing dealing with the affairs of Jiangyu Entertainment, Xiao Yanzhi emerged from the study.
As soon as he pushed open the door of the bedroom, he saw the girl sitting dazedly by the bed.
There were no clothes of hers here. She casually grabbed one of his large shirts as pajamas, and its length reached just to her thighs.
The light in the room was warm yellow.
Jiang Li was wearing a man's white shirt, with a pair of slender and fair legs exposed to the air. Under the illumination of the bedroom light, they were so white that they reflected light.
She was staring blankly at a corner of the room. From the back, one could see her fair neck and the butterfly bones faintly showing under the shirt on her back.
She was beautiful yet lonely.
As if she would shatter at a touch.
Xiao Yanzhi paused in his steps. His eyes were deep and dark as he stared at her for a long time.
"Jiang Li," he said in a low voice.
Hearing the man's voice, Jiang Li snapped back to her senses and looked back at him.
The glistening in her eyes hadn't been well hidden yet. Her beautiful and delicate eyes were like a broken mirror at the moment, unable to be pieced back together.
Blank and helpless.
But it was only fleeting. The emotions in her eyes quickly faded away, and she said in an ordinary tone, "Are you done with your work?"
Xiao Yanzhi walked towards her step by step.
Jiang Li watched the approaching man. Her breathing suddenly became a bit labored, and she unconsciously tightened the bedsheet.
The man's scent was pleasant. The smell of tobacco had become extremely faint, leaving only the purest cold woody fragrance, the scent of male hormones.
Jiang Li paused for a moment.
Xiao Yanzhi pressed his fingertips against his temples. The company's official business had left his handsome face full of fatigue. His voice was hoarse as he said, "What are you daydreaming about?"
He had seen clearly just now and subtly noticed that something was wrong with her emotions.
It was as if she had been heartbroken by someone.
He didn't know why she had such emotions, but the way she quickly concealed them made Xiao Yanzhi even more irritated.
Jiang Li had already adjusted her state. "I'm not thinking about anything. I'm just a bit sleepy," she said.
She still sat motionless by the bed, looking at his face. Her voice was calm as she said, "If you're going to sleep here tonight, I'll go to the guest room next door."
She stood up and was about to walk towards the guest room.
"I've had the guest room cleaned. There isn't even a bedsheet on the bed. Do you want to sleep on the wooden board?" He tugged at his collar. His voice was low as he said, "Just sleep here. Aren't you used to it?"
Jiang Li:...
She had slept in this bed for three or four years. Of course, she was used to it.
It was just that she cared about sleeping with him.
Seeing that she still remained silent, Xiao Yanzhi raised his eyebrows slightly. His expression remained unchanged as he said, "What are you afraid of? Afraid that I'll eat you?"
Jiang Li remained expressionless. "You've guessed it right," she said.
Xiao Yanzhi:...
Xiao Yanzhi glanced at her, looking a bit lazy and tired. "I'm not in the mood tonight. Several new projects of Jiangyu Entertainment will be launched next month. I have to go back to the Xiao family tomorrow. I'm very busy and not in the right state," he said.
Jiang Li still kept her back straight and her body tense. She obviously didn't believe his words.
Seeing her stubborn look, Xiao Yanzhi stared at her for a few seconds and let out a soft snort.
"I won't touch you tonight. Don't worry," he said.
Jiang Li looked at him quietly, blinking her eyes. Her tone was stubborn as she said, "Swear."
Swear?
Xiao Yanzhi thought that Jiang Li was a bit unusually childish today.
Although childish, she was cute.
He didn't know if it was because of that helpless look in her eyes that had touched him, but he indulged her little temper for once.
His pair of long and narrow eyes were as black as ink, with a hint of doting in them. He said in a very patient tone, "What kind of oath do you want to hear me take?"
The corners of Jiang Li's lips lifted. There was a hint of cunning in her eyes, and the previous loneliness vanished in an instant. "If you break your promise, then you'll never be able to get an erection again," she said.
Looking at her showing her fangs like a little devil, looking cute and mischievous, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
It was rare to see her express her emotions so truly.
He first let out a soft laugh, then his voice was low. He leaned closer to Jiang Li, deliberately with deep meaning. His voice was hoarse as he said, "That would be your loss too."
Looking at his suddenly approaching face, Jiang Li's playful expression suddenly froze, and her heart started pounding.
Facing this face that always made her fall in love, she was often unable to control herself.
"...What does it have to do with me?" Her voice became softer, but her earlobes were honestly turning a faint cherry red.
From his position, her side profile was perfectly lined. Her earlobes and a small part of the skin on her jaw were gradually showing a shy peach-pink color.
She was as delicate as a ripe fruit.
Xiao Yanzhi almost couldn't control himself and leaned over to kiss her face.
Jiang Li immediately dodged, making him miss.
Xiao Yanzhi was very displeased. His thin lips were tightly pursed as he suppressed the surging emotions in his eyes. His tone was commanding as he said, "Come here."
His eyes were as dark as fire, with desire dancing in them.
Jiang Li's heart beat even faster. She moved her body a bit and cleared her throat. "You just promised me. If you...," she said.
Jiang Li didn't finish her second half of the sentence.
The man thought that her voice was usually nice, but at the moment, it was a bit noisy. He just wanted to take measures quickly to shut up this little mouth.
Of course, he did exactly that.
In this aspect, he never suppressed himself.
Jiang Li's pupils suddenly widened. In the gap between their lips and teeth, she still gasped for breath and cursed in a low voice, "Xiao Yanzhi! You're finished! You'll never be able to get an erection again!"
Hearing the threat in her words, the man just laughed it off. It didn't have any deterrent effect at all.
Instead, he became even more excessive.
Finally, it was Jiang Li who hooked his neck. Her voice was charming, and her moist eyes were like hooks as she begged him to let her off tonight.
Only then did he stop.
Morning.
No one knew when the heavy snow from yesterday had stopped. The silver-white expanse outside was extremely eye-catching. The light shone through the curtains and illuminated the room brightly.
Jiang Li unconsciously let out a couple of soft moans and rolled over, habitually snuggling into the man's chest to find the most comfortable position.
Xiao Yanzhi had always been a light sleeper. Coupled with the little thing's movement, his sweet dream was completely disturbed.
He didn't really mind. He just casually pulled the quilt to cover her round and fragrant shoulder, afraid that she would catch a cold.
She looked very beautiful in her sleep. Her eyelashes fluttered slightly with her breathing, and her breathing was even and steady.
Jiang Li's face was stunning at first sight and never got boring after a hundred looks.
Xiao Yanzhi's phone on the bedside table vibrated buzzingly. The girl in his arms also unconsciously frowned, instinctively resisting such noise.
Xiao Yanzhi immediately reached out to grab his phone. He was about to press the hang-up button, but the note on the caller ID made him pause for a few seconds.
"It's so noisy," Jiang Li said. During these hesitant seconds, she had already lazily lifted her eyelids. In a hazy state, she glanced at the phone screen and saw the name.
It only took one glance for her to go from being drowsy to extremely awake.
Her gaze fell on his face. Her voice was still a bit hoarsely unnatural as she said, "It's Qin Yaoyao's call. Why don't you answer it?"
