Scarlett was fretting over what gift to give Li Beijue, but Li Beijue? He hadnât even kept her in mind and had long since forgotten about her.
Chi Enen was pulled into the room, and something cold and smooth was suddenly placed on her wrist. It felt refreshing.
She lowered her head and noticed a jade bracelet adorning her wrist. She froze for a moment. âWhat is this?â
Why would he randomly buy her a jade bracelet?
Li Beijue held her hand, admiring the jade bracelet circling her slender wrist. It was a translucent, vibrant green, glowing with a smooth lusterâthe perfect complement to Chi Enenâs fair skin. Its size was just rightânot too large to feel loose and empty, nor too small to make her wrist look awkwardly thick.
The size matched precisely what he had envisioned. It fit perfectly on this womanâs wrist.
The effect was exactly as he had imaginedâstunning!
In unusually good spirits, his falcon-like eyes lifted, and he, surprisingly, refrained from his usual harsh tone. âItâs for you.â
âWhy did you suddenly decide to give me this?â Chi Enen was puzzled. Today wasnât a special day of any sort. Her birthday had passed not long ago. An anniversary? But they didnât seem to have any particular anniversary. Why was he giving her a gift all of a sudden?
Li Beijue had never encountered a woman so oblivious to romance. Narrowing his pupils, his thin lips quirked with a faint touch of disdain. âDo I need a reason to give you something? I was in a good mood. Do you have a problem with that?â
Childishly domineering!
Chi Enen was left speechless.
Li Beijue paused for a moment, his falcon-like eyes darting to the side before returning with an additional comment. âDidnât you give me a gift yesterday too?â
Yesterday, hadnât she given him those thousand paper cranes?
He was simply repaying the gesture!
Definitely not because he had seen this jade bracelet in a jewelry store, thought it would suit her, wanted to see how it looked on her, and then impulsively purchased it!
âBut yesterdayâ¦â It was your birthdayâshe hadnât even finished her sentence.
The sharp-faced man cut her off impatiently, his falcon-like eyes locking on to her again, burning as though they might consume her. âChi Enen, a gift is a gift. Itâs just a piece of jewelryâare you sure you want to keep discussing this with me? If you really want to, fineâon the bed. Weâll discuss it slowly there!â
ââ¦â As if sheâd dare to say another word.
Her obedient silence came so quickly that Li Beijue felt as though a stone was pressing down on his chest. His gaze at her practically shot sparks out of his eyes!
Shit!
He had decided not to touch her before he got sterilized!
But his resolution not to touch her and her fear of him touching her were two entirely different matters!
What the hell did her immediate silence mean?
His falcon-like eyes darkened, locking onto the tightly sealed red lips of the little lady before him. His pupils shifted from light to dark, abruptly becoming a deep, stormy abyssâ
Without saying anything, he lifted Chi Enenâs chin and lowered his head to kiss her. His other hand gripped the back of her head, giving her no chance to dodge as the kiss deepened.
His kissing skills were already remarkable, and with his deliberate effort to pry open her lips and teeth, it was as if he were casting a spell, pulling her into a trance.
Though Chi Enen was stunned by the sudden kiss, she didnât resist once she regained her composure. Instead, she attempted to reciprocate his heated kissâ¦
Her small act of response was like pouring oil onto a blazing fire. In the next second, what had been a controlled kiss suddenly became a fierce, all-consuming assault. It was as if he wanted to swallow her whole, kissing her with a fiery, domineering intensity!
âMm.â Chi Enenâs tongue tingled, and she couldnât help but let out a soft moan.
The man, whose pupils were already dark and stormy, forced himself to release her just before his self-control snappedâ¦
