Chereads / Can I love you? / Chapter 22 - A chaste kiss

Chapter 22 - A chaste kiss

Zhang Yuqi scolded herself a hundred times over in her head. Had she never seen a man's body before???....uhh…wait….it seemed that she really hadn't! That night a year ago, with Lu Zitian, she was completely senseless to know anything, so it didn't count.

She didn't know why she was so attracted to Lu Zitian. Over the last two days, she often found herself thinking of him without any reason.

On the other hand, Lu Zitian let out a sigh as soon as he entered the closet. That undisguised gaze of admiration from Zhang Yuqi had started a fire within him. The way she had stared at his body, had almost made him lose control. If it had been a second more, he would have done something he would regret.

He felt helpless, as he sensed a certain part of his lower body awaken. He was used to having numerous eyes on him everyday, yet, this was the first time he had such a reaction to it. Just her gaze was enough to turn him on.

What was she doing to him?

The self-control he had always been proud of had collapsed like sand in front of Zhang Yuqi.

Gritting his teeth, Lu Zitian tried to control the awakening desire in his body.

Although he was eager to feel her body again, he didn't want it to become just another ritual in marriage without any feelings. He want it to give her the best experience, when she welcomed it with all her heart.

After a while, Lu Zitian changed into sweats and a t-shirt and walked back into the bedroom.

Zhang Yuqi was still sitting in the same place, in the same position stiffly. Her face and ears were bright red and she was muttering something under her breath.

Lu Zitian could sense the nervousness within her.

He sat down on the other side of the bed with his legs crossed, leaning on the headboard.

"Need help?", he asked looking at the mobile phone in her hand.

Zhang Yuqi didn't understand at first. Then she followed his line of sight and understood.

"No, if I can't even handle this, it means I am not fit for this industry. These are very common occurrences. I can handle it."

Lu Zitian let out a faint chuckle. Actually, he really wanted to know if she would ask for his help, when he first heard about what was going on. He had even made preparations for that. His woman didn't need to dirty her hands, as long as she asked he would happily help her. But he was more interested to see how this little lady would handle it, after all this was her career and her dream. If he helped her all the way, there would be no meaning in her achievements.

"I believe you can." Lu Zitian said with a gentle smile.

This was the first time she had seen him smile, and the effect was a thousand times more dangerous than his usual icy expression. His whole aura seemed to melt like ice in the beginning of spring.

Zhang Yuqi felt her heart flutter. Was he trying to encourage her or was he flirting with her?

This. Was. Illegal!!!!!

Zhang Yuqi remained frozen for a while, then said with a low voice, "I didn't know you would be this eloquent!"

Lu Zitian turned towards her and slowly brought his face closer to hers.

With a faint smirk he asked, "Then, do you prefer me this way?"

Zhang Yuqi felt as if her heart was about to pop out of its place and her cheeks burned. Lu Zitian's face was so close and the fresh scent from his body assaulted all her senses. She felt dizzy. She lost her ability to think! Her dratted loose mouth!! Why did she have to say that!

"I…I…I…."

Damn! She was stuttering! How did this man have such a huge effect on her?

Seeing her look helpless, Lu Zitian simply lay down with closed eyes and covered himself with the blankets.

"Sleep. You'll need energy tomorrow."

Zhang Yuqi let out a sigh of relief. If Lu Zitian continued to flirt with her this way, she didn't know how long could she hold back herself. He was dangerous!

Also who said that he was gay?....The next time someone said Lu Zitian was gay, she would fight them! She almost had a heart attack from those words he said just then.

Zhang Yuqi also lay down and went under the blankets. Today was their wedding night, but Lu Zitian didn't force her to do anything. Somehow she felt, maybe this really wasn't a bad decision.

Although their marriage was not based on love, if they could trust, care and respect each other, they might end up having a good relationship.

Just then, Lu Zitian moved closer to her, placed a chaste kiss on her forehead and went back to sleep.

Zhang Yuqi felt like crying. How was she supposed to sleep after this? Great!.....She was wide awake now!

'My Lord, please stop torturing my fragile heart!'
