Chapter 188: 188, Asking for Trouble (1)_1
Jian Qing quickly pulled her hand back, as if she had been burnt, her eyes dodged away, not daring to look at him. “Cough Cough, I’m tired. I’m going to sleep.”
Having said that, she pulled the blanket and crawled in, her whole head buried under the quilt, only her hand was exposed outside, tightly gripping the edge of the blanket.
Quan Jingwu raised an eyebrow, watching her hide in the quilt like a turtle, a teasing smirk appeared on his thin, burning lips.
Jian Qing, hiding in the quilt closed her eyes, but was dismayed to find that she couldn’t fall asleep, the scenes from just a few minutes ago playing over and over in her mind.
She was dying. It was the most embarrassing thing so far this year, absolutely unparalleled.
There was light rustling and Jian Qing pricked her ears to listen. Suddenly, the quilt was lifted and two long legs slipped into the blanket.
Jian Qing held her breath, reaching out to pull the quilt a little but accidentally touched his long leg.
Um… There’s something not right about this touch?
Thinking about some possibilities, her eyes widened in shock.
He must be out of his mind.
She sat up immediately, hastily pulling all the covers onto herself.
The man’s rich voice carried a hint of amusement, “Honey, weren’t you asleep?”
Sleep your ass! If she could sleep knowing that he had taken off all his clothes, it would be a miracle.
With a dark expression, Jian Qing glared at him, wanting to explode.
As she looked up, it felt like she was going to lose her mind any second now.
Lazily sprawled on the bed, the man basked in the soft golden light coming through the floor-to-ceiling window, his perfect figure and sculpted torso ever so tantalizing under the dappled sunlight. He was as alluring as a demon.
Facing the irresistible view, her face felt hotter, as if it could emit smoke at any time. She pulled away the blanket and threw it on him, “Put it on or I’ll go stay in the guest room.”
How could she survive? This was fucking unbearable!
Quan Jingwu remained silent, casually tossing aside the blankets he just put on.
Seeing him sit up, Jian Qing shrank towards the end of the bed.
“Don’t move!”
As he made a move, she immediately commanded.
Enjoying her reaction, Quan Jingwu moved closer, quickly trapping her in his embrace with one arm.
“Why are you in such a hurry to escape?”
“It’s too hot, stay away from me.” Jian Qing tried to push him away. Indeed, they should not stay in the bed too long.
“The air conditioning is very low.” He chuckled softly bursting her pretentious bubble.
“What if I still feel hot, huh?” Jian Qing glared at him, outspokenly challenging.
However, he was always unconventional. He poked her collar with his fingertip, “If you’re so hot, why do you still wear so much?”
Jian Qing, “…”
He looked at her and added, “After all, sooner or later we must be completely open and honest with each other.”
Completely open and honest?
Doesn’t this phrase refer to something else and not this situation?
Moreover, being ‘completely open’, does that mean even clothes aren’t spared?
Jian Qing was reduced to faking a smile, she impatiently shrugged off his hand, “Sir, being horny all the time is a disease, so, for now, keep your distance.”
“That’s right, you’re my best antidote.” Quan Jingwu’s voice was low-pitched and alluring.
Jian Qing’s gaze flickered, blinking her star-like eyes, “Xiaojing, I’m sick.”
As she spoke, she rolled up her sleeve and thrust her bandaged arm towards him.
“That’s alright, I’ll be careful,” he whispered, his lips curving into a smile.
Could she just kick him off the bed?
Can he show at least a bit of embarrassment?
“No need. I think distance makes the heart grow fonder. You better sleep on the couch,” she tried to push him away but he refused to budge.
Quan Jingwu’s gaze darkened, “Could you bear to let me sleep on that tiny couch?”
His deep voice carried a trace of seldom seen grievance, raising goosebumps on her skin.
The warm breath played around her ears. Jian Qing felt a cold shiver, then she chuckled nervously, “Xiaojing, yeah, great things are tasked to those capable of them. He who would have great tasks must first suffer, work hard so why don’t you just go take a cold shower.”
Seeing his predatory look, her voice gradually weakened.
“Let’s sleep!” Looking into her clear eyes, Quan Jingwu sighed softly.
He sat upright, adjusted her clothes, then put his arm around her as they lay down.
Jian Qing’s small face was buried in his chest, she muttered, “Xiaojing, the blanket!”
Please forgive her, waking up to his almost perfect physique was indeed a challenge to her willpower.
Quan Jingwu was rendered speechless seeing her acting cute, he went along with it and pulled up the blanket to cover both of them.
“Sleep fast or we’ll continue what we didn’t finish earlier.” Holding back at the last moment, especially in front of his beloved, was already damn good of him. If she continued to move, he couldn’t promise to maintain his composure.
On hearing that, Jian Qing shut her eyes and soon fell asleep unwittingly. Quan Jingwu, noticing her breath became steady, a self-deprecating smile appeared on his face.
She was asleep, however, he was the one suffering. He had asked for it.
Jian Qing slept till the evening. When she woke up, there was no sign of Quan Jingwu.
She lazed around on the bed for a few minutes before finally getting up and freshening up in the bathroom. Following that, she put on her slippers and went downstairs.
Just as she reached the second floor, she heard voices coming from somewhere.
