Chapter 445: 431, Slap in the Face (1)_1
Black Jack’s sweater was rather large on him, and its dark color contrasted sharply with his skin, making him look even paler and more delicate, like a piece of exquisite jade.
Black Jack gave a satisfied smile as he tousled Xiaobai’s hair.
Jian Luo gazed at the handsome face so close to him, a wave of helplessness surging in his heart.
“Can you let me go now?”
“No.” He answered succinctly.
These two simple words ruffled Jian Luo’s feathers instantaneously.
“Then I won’t wear it.”
He wasn’t going to give in to Black Jack’s spoiled behavior.
Black Jack grabbed his hand, with a flash of darkness in his eyes, “Luo Xiaobai, if you take off your clothes, I won’t play the gentleman anymore.”
He wouldn’t be able to maintain his composure if that happened. He wasn’t that kind of man.
Reading between the lines, Jian Luo was embarrassed and furious.
“You… you wouldn’t dare.”
“Don’t believe me? Try it.” he replied nonchalantly.
Jian Luo could detect no hint of a joke in his expression, and his grip on the hem of his clothing tightened, wavering.
After a while, he visibly deflated, “Fine then, what do you want?”
Black Jack smirked playfully, moving his face closer to Luo Xiaobai.
Staring at his well-defined face, Luo Xiaobai froze.
What did this mean?
Was he inviting him to slap him?
“What are you waiting for?” Seeing Luo Xiaobai staring blankly at him, Black Jack urged him, “Don’t you want to go back?”
Another veiled threat.
Annoyance surged within Jian Luo, a cunning glint in his eyes.
He raised his hand, sending a cool palm flying towards Black Jack’s cheek.
Frustrated as he was, he still controlled his strength, his slap was just a light pat. 𝓷ℴ𝓿𝓹𝓾𝓫.𝓬ℴ𝓶
“Smack––”
The sound of the slap echoed abruptly in the car.
It was only due to Black Jack’s lack of vigilance that Jian Luo succeeded that easily.
“…”
The smile on Black Jack’s face chipped away.
Jian Luo bowed his head, laughing with abandon in his heart.
That’s what he got for messing with him. Serves him right.
Black Jack lowered his gaze, observing Jian Luo’s trembling shoulders, and grinding his back teeth.
“Jian Luo, you sure are bold.”
Jian Luo raised his head, meeting his gaze with apparent innocence, arguing with defiance, “You leaned in. Didn’t you want me to hit you?”
Black Jack’s face darkened.
Is that how he understood his gesture?
Who in their right mind would intentionally invite a slap to the face?
This guy definitely twisted his intentions on purpose.
“Jian Luo, it seems you have no intention of going home today.”
Jian Luo jutted out his chin, staring defiantly, “Whether I go home or not, that’s not your decision. At worst, you’ll have to knock me out.”
“Is that so? I hope you won’t regret saying that.” Black Jack’s face hardened, his voice dropped.
He raised his hand abruptly, poised to strike.
As Jian Luo watched, his heart filled with a sense of injustice, and the edges of his eyes started to redden.
His defiance shocked Black Jack, causing the coldness on his face to dissolve immediately.
“Luo Xiaobai, you…”
“Let me go, I don’t want to see you.” He pushed him away, his usually soft and charming eyes clouded.
Black Jack held him tighter, placing a hand on his chin, forcing him to meet his gaze.
“Luo Xiaobai, what’s wrong?”
Jian Luo complained, “You came in with a terrible attitude, you’ve ruined my clothes, won’t let me go home, and now you want to hit me.”
“Aren’t you the one who’s acting so close with other girls, even bearing the mark of another woman’s lipstick and perfume.” The harshness in Black Jack’s voice faded, “Have I ever hit you since we were kids, be honest.”
Jian Luo turned his head away, remaining silent.
Black Jack gently pinched his cheek, speaking with a softer tone, “Okay, I have to leave tomorrow, don’t be upset with me, okay?”
“Where are you going?”
The question slipped out before he could stop it, and he immediately regretted it.
He was still mad, why should he care where Black Jack was going?
Jian Luo, you’re truly hopeless.
Black Jack chuckled, “I have some matters to deal with in Y Country.”
“Then why did you come here?” he muttered.
“I was worried that a certain dummy might miss me too much. I didn’t expect to see him gallivanting off to a bar and hitting on women.” Black Jack retorted, with a hint of a grudge in his voice.
Jian Luo raged, “I wasn’t chasing women! That woman bumped into me by accident and that’s how her lipstick stain ended up on me.”
At this, Black Jack felt a little better.
“Next time, you’re forbidden from going to bars. Remember.”
Jian Luo snorted quietly.
“Did you hear what I said?”
“I heard you, I heard you.” Jian Luo grumbled.
Black Jack’s face went from cloudy to clear, and he patted him on the head, “Good boy!”
“Can you let me go now?”
“No.”
“I’ve already promised not to go to the bar, what else do you want?”
“Kiss me.” Black Jack said straightforwardly.
Jian Luo almost bit his tongue, “You… what did you say?”
Black Jack moved his face closer once again, repeating, “Kiss me, then I’ll take you home.”
He made his request clear. Let’s see how he twists its meaning now.
Jian Luo felt heat rising to his ears, pushing Black Jack’s face away.
“No, make another request.”
“I’m sticking to this one, not changing it.” Black Jack replied, adamant.
Jian Luo bit his lip, his eyes flickering to the man’s profile, looking conflicted.
To kiss, or not to kiss, that was the question.
Oh, what the heck, it’s just a peck on the face, it’s not like he was going to lose anything.
He leaned in, quickly giving Black Jack a peck on the cheek.
The kiss was as swift and fleeting as a dragonfly skimming the water’s surface.
The soft touch on his cheek brought a captivating smile to Black Jack’s lips.
Jian Luo bowed his head, his cheeks blushing slightly.
He spoke quietly, “There, satisfied?”
Black Jack’s gaze settled on his lips, a sense of yearning flashing in his eyes as he suppressed his inner restlessness. “Luo Xiaobai, you don’t possibly think a small peck is enough, do you?”
Did he think their relationship could be dismissed with just a peck?
How naive!
Jian Luo was stunned, “What do you mean?”
“You know what I mean.” He leaned in closer again, his intentions clear without a word.
Jian Luo’s lips twitched.
What did he understand?
“You’ve got three seconds to decide, otherwise, I will take the initiative.” Black Jack smirked, speaking at a leisurely pace.
Jian Luo’s pupils contracted slightly.
He’s taking the initiative?
Wouldn’t that be like a sheep walking into the lion’s den?
That wouldn’t do. It would be a losing deal.
With this thought, he hardened his heart, raising his hand to clutch at Black Jack’s collar.
Immediately after, he started showering his cheek with kisses.
One kiss, two kisses, three kisses…
Leaning back into the seat, Black Jack wore a satisfied expression as he enjoyed his flurry of kisses.
