Chapter 315: Ah, It Seems like She Played with Fire
When her thin lips touched his, there was a warm sensation. It was really soft with a hint of chilliness. Shock flashed across Lu Chengzhou’s eyes. She…
When he returned to his senses, he stared at her exquisite, fair face and narrowed his eyes. Gu Mang retreated the next second and the sensation on his lips faded in a blink of an eye.
Lu Chengzhou instinctively pursed his lips as though he wanted to say something. Almost instantly, he looked up at her. His eyes were dark, mixed with a hint of terrifying desire.
He stared straight at her.
Gu Mang was still bending her back and their faces were still really close. If they moved forward a little their faces would touch.
“Let’s sleep, shall we?” she asked. “I’m really tired.”
After saying that, she hooked his chin and stood up as she headed to sleep. Before she could take a step, her arm was dragged back by a powerful force. Her face changed as she fell backwards into Lu Chengzhou’s arms. He held both her wrists as he pushed her against the back of the sofa.
The smell of tobacco assaulted her face as his charming face pressed down on hers. He kissed her lips. Gu Mang was stunned. She was restrained in his arms, exposed to his frenzied passion.
Regaining her senses, she frowned.
Ah, it seems like she played with fire…
…
At 12.30 A.M..
Gu Mang had just finished showering and she dried her hair with a towel. She looked at the Lu Chengzhou who was leaning against her bed with his legs crossed. He was replying to texts on his phone with a cigarette in his other hand, the smoke dancing in the air.
From the look of it, it seemed he did not want to leave tonight. Since he was already here, why would he still want to leave. He would only demand more.
Gu Mang pondered it without any expression on her face. Did she shoot herself in the foot?
Lu Chengzhou turned his face towards her. Looking at her standing motionlessly, a smile surfaced in his eyes. “Why aren’t you coming over?”
Gu Mang retracted her gaze and continued to dry her hair as she sat by the bedside.
There was a glass of milk on the nightstand. Lu Chengzhou reached for it and passed it to Gu Mang as he said, “It’s warm. Have some.”
Gu Mang lifted her eyes and took it from him after a momentary pause. Lu Chengzhou placed both his hands on the towel on her head as he helped her dry her hair. Gu Mang was astonished and did not move.
“Are you still going to country K?” asked Lu Chengzhou.
Gu Mang hummed a low “mm.”
“When are you leaving?”
She gave it a thought and replied, “I’ll go ask Lin Shuang.”
She picked up her phone, which was on the nightstand, and sent Lin Shuang a message. “Have you changed the flight tickets?”
Lin Shuang replied pretty swiftly. “Not yet. What about tomorrow night?”
“Mm.” They confirmed the new schedule and Gu Mang threw her phone on the bed. She looked at Lu Chengzhou and told him, “I’m leaving tomorrow.”
He replied, “I’ll send you off tomorrow.”
“Oh.” Gu Mang had a sip of milk. It was pretty sweet. She finished it all in one gulp and placed the glass on the nightstand as she took the towel back from him. “I’ll do it myself, you can go shower.”
Lu Chengzhou nodded and left the bed for the bathroom. The fragrance of shower gel still lingered in the bathroom mixed with a hint of her smell. It disoriented his senses.
He stood in the shower for quite some time as he smiled. He did not expect the night to unfold in such a way. After showering, he left the bathroom. Gu Mang was lying sideways on the bed with her back facing him. It seemed like she was already asleep.
Lu Chengzhou’s eyes darkened further. Giving it a thought, he let out a soft sigh as he took the towel and left the room. He was unsure if he could resist if they were on the same bed.
