He smoothly retrieved her phone from the table, extending it towards her. "Call Xiao Xiu and let her know you'll be staying with me tonight," he suggested, his voice carrying a low, alluring tone.
Jiang Yue promptly snatched the phone and dialed Jiang Xiu's number, eliciting another chuckle from Luo Zhelan. "You made it easy for me," he stated while they waited for the call to connect.
"Why complicate things? I want to stay here with you," Jiang Yue replied, her unwavering gaze holding his, deep and intense.
Her directness caught Luo Zhelan off guard. He hadn't anticipated her to agree so readily.
Stepping back, he ran a hand through his hair, trying to steady his racing heart, as though it had taken a sudden jolt.
Her words echoed in his mind, spoken so candidly with her eyes fixed on his. The look she gave him would linger in his thoughts for days, maybe even weeks.
Yet, a sudden realization hit him.
He needed to leave for a while.
