"Tell me, why are you distancing yourself from me?" He Jingyao caressed her face, his dark eyes staring unblinkingly into hers, not allowing her to avoid him, "If you don't explain, I'll take you right here!"
This threat was incredibly persuasive! Su Zixi's heart trembled, her stiff hands finding nowhere to rest.
"I... let go of me first." Her face was flushed with shame.
He Jingyao chuckled lightly, suddenly leaning close enough that he could kiss her lips at any moment.
Su Zixi was so frightened that she leaned back desperately, but the man clasped the back of her head, easily pulling her back.
Looking at the man's lips, which were almost within reach, she involuntarily held her breath, her heartbeat thundering.
"Not speaking?" he asked in a low voice, his breath brushing against her face.
Su Zixi's breathing grew more rapid, the overpowering scent of his cologne making her dizzy, her cheeks so red they seemed about to bleed.
