Chapter 23 - don't want anything else

"You asked me what I wanted, and now that I told you, but you don't like it? If you really want to leave, you're free to get out of my car. It's your choice, I'm not forcing you," Yuejin said, his voice a low rumble that sent shivers down Xiao Xiao's spine.

His gaze, intense and unwavering, held her captive. It was like a magnet pulling her in, and she felt a strange mix of fear and fascination. The air crackled with tension, and she felt like a bird trapped in a cage, unable to move even an inch. Her heart pounded in her ears, a frantic rhythm against the silence of the car.

Why were his eyes so captivating? She couldn't deny that his beautiful eyes were alluring, especially his eyelashes. They were thick, long, and curved, almost like a woman's. They added a touch of wildness to his face, a hint of danger that made her heart race.

Yuejin's face was so close to hers, she could feel the heat of his breath on her skin. The scent of his cologne, a blend of spice and something uniquely masculine, filled her senses, making her head spin.

As he held her gaze, his eyes were as clear as the blue sky above, yet they held a depth that seemed to see right through her, to the very core of her being. They were mesmerizing and glowing at the same time, like a pair of smoldering embers.

"We can talk about this calmly, I mean, I can pay you whatever you want, just please don't drop me off and leave me with those bad people who are chasing me. Please," Xiao Xiao pleaded, her voice a trembling whisper.

She couldn't help but reach out and touch his arm, her fingers brushing against the smooth fabric of his shirt. It was a desperate plea, a last attempt to hold onto her safety, and she hoped her desperation would be enough to sway him.

"But I don't want anything else," he responded, his gaze still fixed on her face. He could see her flushed cheeks, and it was mesmerizing. His Adam's apple bobbed up and down as he leaned closer to her.

The scent of her, a mix of jasmine and something uniquely feminine, drifted into his senses.

His gaze locked on her lips, a faint tremor passing through his jaw. He felt a sudden dryness in his throat, as if the air had been sucked out of the car.

As Xiao Xiao found herself enveloped in Yue Jin's embrace, a rush of conflicting emotions surged within her. Her heart pounded erratically, torn between fear and a strange, inexplicable attraction towards this enigmatic handsome man.

The warmth of his embrace contrasted sharply with the cold tension that had filled the car moments ago. Xiao Xiao's mind raced with questions and doubts, unsure of what to make of this sudden shift in dynamics.

Yue Jin's gaze held a mixture of amusement and something deeper, a glint of mischief dancing in his eyes as he observed her closely. His touch, though firm, carried a gentleness that surprised Xiao Xiao, stirring a sense of vulnerability within her.

"I can give you money, just name the price," Xiao Xiao's voice quivered with uncertainty, her eyes searching his for reassurance. Her hands instinctively reached out to his muscular chest, as he was too close to her and she was afraid that any tiny movement would lead to a kiss!

In that moment, the accusations she had hurled at him earlier faded into the background, replaced by a newfound sense of intrigue and curiosity.

A low chuckle escaped Yue Jin's lips, his laughter resonating with a soft and warm quality that seemed to melt the lingering tension in the air.

His proximity felt both comforting and electrifying, a paradox that left Xiao Xiao spellbound.

With a gentle yet firm grip, Yue Jin tilted Xiao Xiao's chin upwards, his gaze locking with hers in an intense, unspoken exchange. The air between them crackled with unspoken feelings that started to bloom in their hearts.

"I don't want money. What I have said is the only thing I need," Yue Jin's voice was a soothing murmur, his words laced with a promise that echoed in the confines of the car. His eyes held a depth of emotion that belied his stoic exterior.

In that fleeting moment, as the world outside faded into insignificance, Xiao Xiao felt a spark of connection that defied logic and reason. The boundaries between them blurred, and she found herself drawn to this enigmatic man in ways she couldn't comprehend.

It was at this moment that Xiao Xiao realized she had been seduced! Looking at him in close proximity, this flawless face that seemed like he was crafted by god himself, her body stiffened at his sudden touch, and she could even feel his warm breath against her face. A feeling of something stirred within her body!

Why does he keep getting so close to me?

I'm tempted to kiss these lascivious lips!

OH GOD!

It was at this moment she was sure she was bewitched by him!

No!

Bai Xiao Xiao, at least keep some dignity for yourself, you're a girl alright!

Her face flushed red at her thoughts! What was she doing? She should be the one seducing men! Not the other way around!

Xiao Xiao, feeling a sudden surge of panic, shifted slightly, creating a sliver of space between them. Her fingers, which had been resting on his chest, retreated as if burned.

Yuejin saw how her cheeks flushed crimson red.

'How cute'

he murmured in his mind. a slight smile escaping his lips as her lips formed a thin line. But Xiao Xiao didn't see it, as she lowered her head, not daring to look at him.

"So what do you say?" he asked between his breath.

He could not explain his behavior anymore! He was behaving ungentlemanly! This was not his style at all! For all these years he had concealed his desires for women, and he never did anything that would tarnish his reputation. But ever since he met this girl yesterday, he was like out of himself!

As the car continued its journey through the bustling city streets, her eyelashes fluttered as she thinks of how to answer this man before her.

But, but, I'm still a virgin, I promised myself to protect my chastity for my future husband.

How can I give myself to this stranger so easily!

Did she really have no way out!?

Damnit!

Okay, she will agree, but she has to think of another plan!

This is a tough situation, and she needs to get out of danger first before thinking about her next plan! Of course, she would never give herself just like that! There's no way!

Lifting her head, she looked up at him, at those sparkling beautiful eyes of his. As she mumbled in her sweet feminine voice, "Okay, I will agree, but promise me you will keep me safe." She acted pitifully as she said those words, wanting to gain some sympathy over him.
