Qi Shifeng propped one leg on the carpet and knelt on one knee beside her. His waist and abdomen curved into a beautiful arc, and the bulging muscles under his shirt were faintly visible.
He looked a bit travel - worn, but it didn't affect his noble and handsome appearance at all.
The two of them were very close. Xu Tingyu could even count the thick, black lashes on his eyes.
Her palms were sweaty, and her heart was pounding like a drum.
Just now, she had a dream where she stabbed a knife into his heart with her own hands.
So when she opened her eyes and saw the "victim" right in front of her, she was naturally panicked and on high alert.
Qi Shifeng had already tidied up her hair and was staring at her trembling eyelashes.
They were like a butterfly about to take flight the next second.
He remembered the slight tickling sensation when her eyelashes brushed against his lips when he kissed her just now.
In the silence, Xu Tingyu had completely woken up, and her rationality had returned.
"Regardless of how you got in, I'm going to file a complaint against your hotel. They let you in without my permission."
She averted her eyes, not daring to look into his, and at the same time tried to roll over to the side to escape his overpowering aura.
However, as soon as she finished speaking, the man suddenly leaned over, trapping her firmly between his arms, leaving her no chance to escape.
"I'm your legally - protected husband. Why shouldn't I be allowed in?"
He looked at her intently, not missing the slightly red - rimmed eyes. As he reached out to stroke them, he let out a soft laugh.
"Why are you crying? Weren't you the one who scolded her until she blushed?"
Xu Tingyu was stunned for a moment, and her heart skipped a beat.
How much had he heard?
Had he heard the part about Xu Jia?
She didn't have time to think carefully before she was irritated by his attitude.
"What, did she complain to you, so you're here to get justice for her?"
She stared at him with wide eyes, which were filled with tears, looking a bit cuter than when she was on high alert just now.
Qi Shifeng, of course, wasn't here to get justice for Xie Yu. On the contrary, knowing that Xie Yu hadn't gotten the upper hand here, he felt a bit proud.
She was truly worthy of being the one he had taken a fancy to. Her initiative and fighting spirit were not to be underestimated.
But seeing her angry look now, he had the urge to tease her.
After all, it had been a long time since he had seen her care so much.
He got even closer to her, almost pressing against her ear. His lazy and deep voice, accompanied by his warm breath, slowly crept into her ear.
"So, are you so afraid that I'd side with her that you didn't even look at me and just left, then came back to secretly cry?"
She could tell that he was doing it on purpose.
But she was still provoked into raising her voice. "Who's afraid? Who's crying?"
As she spoke, she reached out and pushed him hard.
As a result, the man let out an "ouch" and fell on top of her, hugging her tightly in his arms.
"Okay, okay. You're not afraid. It's me who's so scared that I can't take it anymore. I'm afraid you'll be harassed online, I'm afraid you'll be attacked, and I'm even more afraid you'll hide and cry."
He buried his face in her neck. His slightly cool lips brushed against her skin as he spoke, causing a wave of ambiguous tingles.
Xu Tingyu was tightly held in his arms but forgot to struggle.
Qi Shifeng was definitely not the type to say such things.
He was cold, aloof, and seemed to be separated from ordinary people by a barrier.
Even his occasional concern was a kind of condescension.
But now, he was clinging to her like a rascal, saying such sweet words that went straight to the heart.
This man had really changed a lot.
And her momentary distraction gave Qi Shifeng the chance to "push his luck".
He had received an elite education since childhood. Even at his most rebellious and crazy times, he had never been negligent in terms of etiquette.
It was the upbringing engraved in his bones. Even when doing something out of the ordinary, his actions were always elegant.
Just like now, he calmly kicked off his shoes, got on the bed, and rubbed his face against her neck.
God had favored him especially, giving him a smart brain and extremely good looks.
But usually, he concealed his emotions, making him unpredictable and intimidating.
Now, with his coldness gone and his deliberate flirting, the corners of his eyes and eyebrows looked a bit coquettish, like a charming demon that tempted people into the abyss.
Xu Tingyu was surrounded by his fresh and clean scent, and she felt the tickling in her neck. It took her a long time to remember to struggle.
But she was hugged tightly through the thin quilt. How could she break free all at once? So she just wriggled around under him, arching her back and kicking her feet.
She was so focused on struggling that she didn't notice that her random kicks on his thigh had sparked an inaudible fire.
The temperature gradually rose, as if it was going to set both of them on fire.
Qi Shifeng couldn't help but gently bite her collarbone and warned her, "Don't move around. Let me hold you for a while."
He had been working non - stop and then caught the fastest flight back. Holding her in his arms, he finally allowed himself to feel a faint sense of tiredness after feeling at ease.
Xu Tingyu heard his deep voice. The kiss on her collarbone was as light as a feather, but it made her feel itchy and hot.
They had shared a bed many times, so she naturally knew his reaction when he was infatuated.
This damned man really had no good intentions every time he saw her.
The blush crept onto her face at some point and gradually spread to the tips of her ears, like the lingering sunset glow outside the window when he got off the plane in the evening.
No matter how reluctant she was, Xu Tingyu didn't dare to move around anymore.
She just mumbled, "Get up quickly, Qi Shifeng. You're so heavy."
She thought this sentence was full of complaints.
However, in Qi Shifeng's ears, it was indescribably charming and soft.
Especially when she called his name, it was soft and melodious, making it hard to resist.
The fire that hadn't subsided in him burned even more vigorously.
He thought it was unfair that only he was suffering. His well - defined hand landed on the quilt and slowly stroked upwards along the outline.
At the same time, his thin lips landed on her collarbone again, this time a bit more carefully, as if he was afraid of hurting her.
Xu Tingyu didn't expect that she had been patient to let this man calm down.
But he only behaved for a short while before he started kissing her again, from her collarbone to the corner of her mouth, a dense rain of kisses.
She trembled all over and raised her hand to slap him.
But the man seemed to know what she was thinking. Without even raising his head, he grabbed her wrist and even squeezed into her fingers, interlacing their fingers.
She had nowhere to escape and no way to avoid. Before she could even curse, her lips were sealed.
She could only let that aggressive aura permeate her through the quilt.
Xu Tingyu used to think this room was great because it was extremely quiet.
Even though there was a bustling commercial street not far downstairs, as long as the window was closed, the sounds of the traffic could be completely blocked out.
But now, this quietness seemed not so good.
Because the quietness amplified the man's breathing and soft gasps, making people blush and their hearts race.
