——
In this castle as dreamlike and beautiful as a fairytale, the two of them were having dinner together for the first time. However, the atmosphere was anything but delightful!
The ambiance at the dinner table could only be described as eerily quiet.
Neither of them spoke a word during the entire meal.
The only sounds were the faint clinks of cutlery.
Chi Xingye ate with his head lowered throughout the dinner, feeling the overwhelming intimidation emanating from the dignified man sitting in the main seat, even without looking at him.
He found the meal as tasteless as chewing wax.
Luckily, he ate fast. Once he was finished, he stood up and left without a shred of warmth.
He didn't even glance at her.
As usual, he was absorbed in self-absorption, cold and rude!
Chi Xingye didn't mind. After he left, she only had half a bowl of soup and then lost her appetite.
The consequence of not eating enough was that by midnight, she was so hungry that she couldn't sleep.
After tossing and turning in bed, she finally couldn't resist and went to the kitchen to find something to eat.
After satisfying her hunger with late-night snacks, Chi Xingye also brought up a glass of milk and relished it while walking upstairs.
As she walked, her mind kept mulling over her thoughts.
She couldn't figure out who she had offended, which made that dazed goose at military training so weirdly harass her...
Thinking about this, her mind quickly jumped to another thing.
That thing had been weighing heavy on her heart. These past two years, she had been to countless big and small auctions, yet she never found what she wanted.
What if it never appears in any auction?
Where should she find it then?
DK is so vast and with her current ability, it undoubtedly felt like searching for a needle in the sea...
So engrossed was she in her thoughts, Chi Xingye didn't notice the man coming out of the room and walked right into him...
Just as she was regaining her balance, she heard the man in front of her grinding his teeth in anger.
"Chi Xingye, are you trying to get yourself killed again?!"
As she looked up, she saw the man wearing a grey robe, loosely belted at the waist, and with half his broad and perfect chest visible. Underneath...sexy...no wait, that's not the main point. The main point is that his chest now had milk on it... the milk she had spilled onto him when she bumped into him!
Oh no.
She had messed up again!!
As she expected, when she looked up again, she saw the man fiercely glaring at her, deep red eyes filled with simmering anger, as if ready to explode.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." stuttered Chi Xingye, scared out of her wits, "I didn't mean to...".
Almost instinctively, she stretched out her trembling hand and randomly tried to wipe the milk off his chest.
She didn't realize her mistake.
The moment her slightly cold fingertips touched Helian Chengyan, his body stiffened. His eyes suddenly darkened and his breath became labored.
Helian Chengyan's throat tightened.
Almost instantly, his hand shot out and caught her small hand that was wandering over his body.
In a dangerous whisper, he asked, "Chi Xingye, what are you trying to touch?!"
"I…I...I'm not... touching you...body..." Chi Xingye's face immediately turned red with embarrassment and she explained incoherently, "I just wanted to help...wipe off the...milk."
Before she could finish said the word "milk", Helian Chengyan took a step closer to her.
A strong, cool masculine scent washed over her.
Chi Xingye backed away instinctively...
She had accidentally unlatched his robe a bit more, revealing more of his sexy chest, completely filling up her field of vision.
Eight rock-solid abs! This man's body was indeed...incredible!
Chi Xingye gulped.
Her face also became inexplicably hot.
It wasn't until she felt a cold chill on her back that she realized that she had been cornered against the wall. Her wrists were also securely held in his capable hand, unable to break free.
Suddenly, the tall man's body pressed against her…
Chi Xingye's eyes widened in shock, her mind going blank.
What...what is he trying to do?
...
Helian Chengyan was originally utterly enraged.
Given his noble status, no one ever dared to act impudently towards him, much less have the audacity to provoke him.
He had cornered her in fury and was about to erupt, but for some unknown reason, he found himself pressing her against the wall...
And now, they were both only dressed in thin sleeping clothes, their bodies separated only by the thin fabric that seemed too thin to block the warmth of each other's bodies, or the rhythm of each other's heartbeats.
Her neckline was a bit low and with a slight tilt of his head, he could see a tantalizing glimpse of her cleavage...
Helian Chengyan inexplicably felt a little dry in his mouth.
This sensation was the second time today.
In the afternoon, while watching her dancing in a tight black tank top in a video to the rhythm of Latin music, a surge of heat had risen in his chest...
Is there something wrong with his body?
Why did he have such an abnormal reaction towards her?
Even more peculiarly, when he saw so many men eyeing her lustfully in the video, an inexplicable anger rose in him, as well as a desire to possess her...
Now, he found the mysterious, tantalising scent of the woman hitting him all at once.
The familiar feeling hit him, reminding him of the dream he had been having for over two years. In his dreams, every time when he pressed the girl underneath him and kissed her passionately, the beast-like urge deep within him was easily triggered. He wanted her so badly...that every time he woke up, he had to take multiple cold showers.
In reality, he was so charismatic and attractive that he could have any woman he wanted.
Yet, oddly enough, not a single woman had ever piqued his interest!
But right now, as he pressed Chi Xingye under him, his feeling was eerily similar to the dreams he kept having.
Thinking of this, Helian Chengyan's breathing had become ragged.
...
What did he mean by pressing her like this?
Unable to catch her breath, Chi Xingye wriggled a little, trying to escape.
Helian Chengyan's face instantly darkened.
"Don't move!"
It sounded as if he was going to eat her up.
She weakly protested: "You...you first let me go, we can talk..."
Not only did Helian Chengyan not release her, but his gaze became oddly intense.
It was as if he wanted to pierce a hole right through her!
The hot breath against her face and skin made her shiver involuntarily.
Chi Xingye swallowed her saliva and suggested: "Why don't you take off the robe…"
Before she could finish her sentence, Helian Chengyan coldly interrupted her: "Take it off? What do you want to do to me?"
