Chapter 277: Restraint

"You're making up stories to deceive me," Jiang Li's voice was a bit hoarse, filled with exhaustion.

She no longer had the strength to distinguish the truth from falsehood in his words.

He was a businessman, a calculating capitalist, and a successful man who would never let himself be in a losing position.

But she wasn't.

Apart from her whole - hearted feelings, she didn't even have a way out to retreat unscathed.

Xiao Yanzhi glanced at her, his eyes growing deep. With a half - smile, he said, "Do you think I'm lying to you?"

Jiang Li's heart skipped a beat.

Although his tone was calm, it made people feel an inexplicable sense of unease. Jiang Li unconsciously shifted her body. "I..."

His Adam's apple rolled, and his voice became dim and hoarse. "No matter what I say, do you always think I'm lying to you?"

His body gradually approached hers. His shadow fell on her face. The already dim interior of the car became even more obscure, making it almost impossible to see his face clearly.

He lowered his head and gently kissed the teardrop hanging from the corner of her eye.

Wherever his thin lips touched, it was extremely hot.

"You're right. It's all my fault. I'm not qualified to ask for your forgiveness," he said.

His tone was so gentle that there was even a hint of pleading and flattery. With an almost indulgent tone, he said, "Don't cry anymore, okay?"

At this moment, everything stood still. Jiang Li's mind went blank.

His hand reached down and hugged her waist. The suit on her right shoulder slipped, and only half of it hung on her body. Her clear eyes were full of innocence.

She tilted her head up, and her lips unconsciously parted slightly.

The after - effects of the alcohol had not worn off yet. Her cheeks were also flushed. Her eyes were wide open, and obviously, she had no idea how alluring she was at this moment.

Fortunately, he hadn't let her go back alone just now. Otherwise, it was hard to imagine how dangerous it would have been.

At this moment, Xiao Yanzhi was distracted. Staring at her charming lips, he was a bit absent - minded. Eventually, he couldn't control himself and kissed her.

His kiss was gentle at first. After lingering on her lips for a while, he gradually began to explore deeper between her teeth.

From this kiss, Jiang Li could feel his restraint and forbearance.

His breath gradually became hot, and his breathing also became erratic. His fingers ran through her hair, forcing her to get closer to him.

Through the silk fabric, Jiang Li could feel the scorching temperature of his palm on her back, spreading to her skin.

The effect of alcohol made people feel dizzy and disoriented. Coupled with the drive of hormones, it was easy for people to lose their heads and be carried away.

Soon, Jiang Li went limp in his embrace. Familiarity with his touch made her unconsciously lean into his arms. Her lips, teeth, and breath were all filled with his scent.

A shy, faint sound filled the space inside the car.

"Get out of the car," Xiao Yanzhi's voice was low and hoarse. His command was straightforward, and his tone was almost forcefully steady.

The driver understood immediately. Without asking a single question, his professional quality made him well - aware of what was about to happen next. It was not something a driver should pry into.

When the car door closed, it also shut in the amorous scene inside the car.

Inside the car, there were only the two of them left.

Jiang Li was burning all over. Her breathing was heavy, and her eyes were moist all the time, looking like a lost deer in the forest.

She knew better than anyone what was going to happen next.

It wasn't the first time in the car.

He lifted her by the waist and made her straddle his lap. She tried to dodge, but the man's arm was strong. His big hand held her buttocks, making her sit firmly on him.

It was an extremely shameful yet intimate distance. She felt the firm touch of his muscles. Her face instantly became hot, and her brain started to lack oxygen. She closed her eyes and almost decadently enjoyed the brief pleasure.

The love between a man and a woman was a perfectly normal thing. Besides, it wasn't her first time anyway. Why pretend to be chaste? she thought.

The man's hand pushed up her pencil skirt. He skillfully reached behind her back and unfastened the clasp with one hand.

The moment the metal clasp loosened, her soft and round breasts were also set free.

As if breaking through some kind of imprisonment, both of them took a long breath in unison.

His kiss came again. This time, it was more intense than before. He held her shoulder with one hand and gradually pressed her down. Finally, the suit hanging on her body slid to the ground.

An ambiguous atmosphere began to fill the car. Jiang Li went weak all over because of his advances. Her body was too weak due to the alcohol, and her breathing gradually became rapid. Her chest heaved violently.

The car didn't start, and the air - conditioner had been turned off by the driver when he got out. The whole space became extremely stuffy. A fine layer of sweat had broken out on her body, making her feel sticky and out of breath.

Originally, there were only the man's breathing and the woman's gasping in the carriage. Suddenly, a vibrating sound from a mobile phone abruptly interrupted the two of them.

This not - very - loud vibrating sound undoubtedly broke the ambiguous atmosphere.

Xiao Yanzhi took a deep breath. There was annoyance in his eyes for being interrupted. He didn't want to answer, but the phone vibrated more and more violently.

Finally, he lowered his head and kissed the corner of her mouth. "Wait for me."

He let go of her, stood up, and took out his phone. He glanced at the caller ID on the screen. After confirming that it was an unimportant person, he immediately pressed the red hang - up button with his thumb.

When he put the phone away, Jiang Li had already sat up straight again. She silently pulled down the hem of her skirt that had been pushed up and sat very upright with her back straight.

Apart from the lingering mist in her eyes, it was hard to tell that she had just been in an emotional state.

Xiao Yanzhi silently looked at her. "Not continuing?"

"I should be the one asking you this," Jiang Li lifted the corner of her lips slightly. "What about you? Do you still want to continue?"

Xiao Yanzhi looked at her, and his voice was still hoarse. "I'll follow your lead."

Just as he finished speaking, the phone started vibrating again. The caller obviously wasn't going to give up easily.

History always repeats itself.

Half a year ago, an identical scene had happened.

She couldn't help but recall that at that time, a phone call from Qin Yaoyao had summoned him away directly, leaving her alone for the whole night.

Jiang Li pursed her lips tightly. Noticing that the collar of her clothes was in a mess, she lowered her head to tidy it up and smoothed the wrinkled parts with her hands.

"Why don't you answer it?" she asked him.

Xiao Yanzhi slowly opened his mouth. His tone was a bit stiff. "It's not important."

Jiang Li curled her lips and smiled at him. The arc of her smile was very bright. "You'd better answer it. Who knows if you'll be interrupted by another phone call later? It'll be quite a dampener."

Jiang Li was mocking him.

Just now, she had responded passionately, but now she turned cold - hearted. She was completely different from the emotional woman just now.

The atmosphere cooled down quickly. The almost - ignited impulse and passion just now were almost diluted by a few words.

Her face was still as beautiful as ever, but her eyes were full of coldness.

She didn't say a single extra word, but Xiao Yanzhi could feel her obvious contempt and ridicule.

All his apologies and explanations were worthless in front of her. They were of no help to the broken relationship at all.

After a few seconds of stalemate, his Adam's apple rolled, and his voice was extremely hoarse. "I'll take you home."
