However, Tong Yi did not see any killing intent in his eyes. It seemed like she was overthinking things. Sure enough, rumors couldn't be trusted.
It was also her fault. She had never seen such a scene before and was a little flustered.
Tong Yi frowned in annoyance. She calmed down, and the cogwheels in her brain turned quickly as she said, "I've come to see you."
Lu Zhanbei walked towards Tong Yi. "Have you seen enough?"
His tone and meaningful gaze made Tong Yi frown. Did he think that she was here to see his body?
She was not a pervert.
Regardless of whether he believed her or not, Tong Yi felt that she had to explain. "It's my fault for entering your room without permission, but I didn't expect to catch you coming out of the shower."
After a pause, she added, "If you minded it, I can take responsibility."
"How?"
Lu Zhanbei walked closer and closer toward her. He seemed like he had no intention of stopping. Tong Yi subconsciously retreated two steps until her back was against the couch.
Was he going to corner her in that position again?
It had already happened a few times to Tong Yi, she wasn't afraid of it anymore. She composed herself and looked at Lu Zhanbei. "Shall we get engaged?"
The man did not say anything. When he was one step away from her, he stopped and bent down slightly. His body leaned toward her, his handsome face inched closer and closer.
He wasn't going to corner her, but he was going to kiss her instead?
Tong Yi's hands tightened by her side, forcing herself to calm down. She did not want to lose her cool in front of him again.
When the man's face was less than five centimeters away from hers, he moved his face to her ear. "Come closer."
His voice was deep and seductive.
Where his warm breath had brushed against her ear, her skin felt hot.
Tong Yi subconsciously shrunk her neck away. His breath was filled with the refreshing scent of a man who had just taken a bath. His unique masculine scent made her feel dizzy and her heartbeat wildly.
What did he mean by 'come closer'?
Did he want her to throw herself at him?
The idea of hugging him flashed through Tong Yi's mind. In an instant, she made up her mind. She was prepared to embrace him when she came uninvited to his room, so there was no need to hesitate now.
Tong Yi took a step forward. At the same time, her hands reached out towards Lu Zhanbei's narrow waist. However…
Before her hand touched his shirt, he took a few steps back.
Tong Yi then saw him place a black coat on his muscular arm.
When he was approaching her just now, he did not have anything on his arm, so where did the coat come from?
Lu Zhanbei's puzzled gaze landed on Tong Yi's outstretched hands. "What were you about to do?"
Tong Yi suddenly thought of something and turned back to look at the couch behind her. Could it be that he only wanted to take the coat that had been lying on the back of the couch?
Could it be that she had been unknowingly pressing on his clothes and that he had only wanted her to move aside?
Poof!
She felt an intense burning sensation spread across her face as it flushed red.
Tong Yi saw Lu Zhanbei's gaze change from confusion to understanding. It seemed like he had guessed her intentions.
Although it was a misunderstanding, Tong Yi did not intend to explain. She suppressed the embarrassment in her heart and decided to play along. Her hands that were stretched out in the air reached forward again. "I want to hug you."
Lu Zhanbei's deep gaze landed on Tong Yi's slender and fair hands.
The man's eyes were lowered, so Tong Yi could not see the emotions in his eyes. She gathered her courage and walked toward him, but just as she was about to hug him, he turned away.
She turned around and saw him walking toward the door. Tong Yi followed him, asking, "Where are you going?"
Lu Zhanbei ignored her.
"Can I go with you?"
