Tan Linyuan was sitting in a position against the light. His exquisite facial features were covered in shadows, making them look even more profound and three - dimensional.
His eyes were clear. Gradually raising his gaze, he took in the charming sight in front of him.
The only thing that remained unchanged was the complete lack of distracting thoughts in his eyes.
Tan Linyuan nodded gracefully and then replied casually, "It's your style."
Although there was no obvious praise in his words, Qu Jiaran still sensed his approval of her.
What kind of style did she have?
Whether it was coquettish or promiscuous, it was the charm that only a woman could possess.
Encouraged by his words, she inched her legs forward, trying to get closer to him. Her voice was soft and coy, "… It's good - looking, but you haven't said if you like it or not."
Qu Jiaran didn't really expect an answer from him. She tilted her head and was about to kiss him.
Just as she was about to press her lips to his, Tan Linyuan turned his head.
His gaze was unwavering, staring straight at another corner of the room.
"People are still outside," his voice was indifferent and his tone calm. "The dishes haven't all been served yet."
What he meant was that the waiter might come in at any moment to interrupt them.
Qu Jiaran was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing, "I see. Linyuan is really conservative."
She still sat on his lap. "Then let's go to a hotel. Which hotel did you and Yu Yu usually stay in? I'll take a reference."
At the mention of Nan Yu, Tan Linyuan's eyes darkened.
Qu Jiaran didn't notice at all that his aura had turned cold. She turned her head to reach for Tan Linyuan's phone on the table to check his hotel records.
The next second, her wrist was grabbed, and then she was pushed down onto the dining table.
Qu Jiaran lay on her back on the glass tabletop. Looking up, she saw the glaring light and his calm face. She blinked.
Was it finally going to happen?
She could finally see this seemingly emotionless and desire - free man unleash his most primitive male instincts on her.
Qu Jiaran closed her eyes, trembling with excitement.
But after a long while, she didn't wait for his next move.
When she opened her eyes again, Tan Linyuan was just staring down at her. Only his shadow was cast, making it hard to read his expression.
Qu Jiaran still lay on the table, her legs spread wide, hooking his back without any hesitation.
The scene was so provocative that it could make one's nose bleed.
Her intention was obvious.
Tan Linyuan's expression was cold, even colder than before. "Qu Jiaran, is this what you want?"
"Isn't it obvious enough?" Her eyes were full of charm, and her voice became even softer. "I just want you…"
At the end, she didn't make a sound but mouthed two words: Sleep with me.
Tan Linyuan locked eyes with her, then grabbed her calf and slowly pried her legs away from his waist.
Qu Jiaran couldn't wait and reached out to hook his neck -
But the next second, Tan Linyuan pulled away.
He lost his last bit of patience to continue dealing with her. He picked up his phone on the table, then flicked the collar and cuffs of his clothes.
"I'm leaving first."
Just when it seemed like everything was about to happen, Qu Jiaran was extremely impatient. She immediately sat up and shouted angrily, "Tan Linyuan, are you sexually dysfunctional?"
She really had never seen a man who could reject her even when she was naked, sitting on his lap, and had opened her legs for him!
Unless… he had sexual dysfunction!
Tan Linyuan paused slightly.
After the visual impact and physical contact, he really didn't feel anything. He was so calm that there was no physical reaction at all.
The way he looked at her was no different from the way he looked at an ordinary person.
Whether she was dressed or not, she was the same in his eyes.
People always said that he was emotionless, desire - free, and a living Buddha with noble character.
At this moment, these words were best proven on him.
When Tan Linyuan left the restaurant, he passed by Qu Jiaran's car and tapped on the glass.
The bodyguard in black immediately got out of the car and greeted Tan Linyuan respectfully.
"Go in and find your young lady," Tan Linyuan said calmly and then left in a hurry.
…
Qu Jiaran was left alone in the private room. Her top was still lying on the ground.
"I don't want this! I don't want it like this!"
The bodyguard's expression tightened. He rushed forward, grabbed her arms, and dragged her out from under the table.
She was naked, her eyes full of fear and emptiness. "Don't touch me! You should all die! All of you should die for me!"
The bodyguard helped her sit on the chair. "Miss, calm down. It's all over now."
"I don't want to calm down! Why should I calm down? I'm the most pitiful victim!" She still struggled, punching and kicking the bodyguard. The bodyguard didn't resist at all and just stood there silently taking her blows.
After Qu Jiaran exhausted all her strength and collapsed on the chair, the bodyguard turned around to pick up the clothes on the ground. "Miss, put on your clothes."
"I don't want to," her voice was weak, almost inaudible. "I won't wear them. Don't I look good like this?"
The bodyguard had no choice but to answer, "You look good."
Hearing the approving answer, Qu Jiaran suddenly sat up straight. Staring at him with her eyes, she slowly showed a strange smile.
Then, she asked softly, "Then tell me, do you like it?"
The bodyguard didn't even dare to raise his eyes. "… Miss, I don't dare."
"What's there to be afraid of?" Qu Jiaran noticed his ears that were red as if bleeding. She became even more interested. "You can only answer yes or no. Don't give any other answers."
At this moment, her arrogance as the young miss was fully revealed.
"… Yes."
He was just an ordinary man. How could he have such strong self - control?
He could only lower his head, trying not to look at the exciting scene.
But Qu Jiaran became even more excessive. She stood up, wrapped her arms around the bodyguard's neck, and hung her soft body on him.
His chest was firm, the result of years of exercise and fitness.
Taking money to work for someone, since he was the bodyguard of the Qu family's young miss, his physical condition naturally had to meet all the requirements.
"What's your name again?"
"Qi Zhu."
In Qu Jiaran's world, unimportant people didn't need names.
Even the bodyguards and nannies who took care of her daily life, she never bothered to ask their names. So it was reasonable that she didn't know his name.
Qu Jiaran was very happy. With a charming smile on her lips, she boldly asked further, "Qi Zhu, have you ever slept with a woman?"
Qi Zhu swallowed hard. "No."
Qu Jiaran poked his chest muscles and continued with a smile, "Then do you want to try…"
Qi Zhu's reason still prevailed. "Miss, this is inappropriate."
He was just working for money. He didn't want to lose his job because of a momentary impulse.
Since it was Qu Jiaran, the consequences might be even more serious.
Although he refused verbally, Qi Zhu's breathing had already become hot, and a tent had already formed in his pants. The fabric there was tight and hot.
This was the most primitive and basic reaction of a man.
But when she was sitting on Tan Linyuan's lap just now, Qu Jiaran didn't feel any sign of him losing his composure.
It meant that Tan Linyuan had absolutely no feelings for her.
