Lin Mian's face instantly turned red.
Her mind exploded with a buzzing sound, and her whole body stiffened.
She had never expected that the man on the phone, who sounded so stern, would actually look so gentle and clean, standing there so handsomely that she couldn't look away.
But his cold and aloof demeanor made her hesitant to approach.
He seemed to have just taken a shower, his short hair still slightly wet, his eyes tinged with a hint of coldness and laziness.
Lin Mian nodded, blushing, and said, "It's me."
"Follow me."
The man spoke two words, then turned and walked into the elevator.
Lin Mian stood up hesitantly, her head buzzing as she followed.
...
The design here was of a high-end apartment, one elevator serving two households. After getting off the elevator, Shi Lin unlocked the door with his fingerprint.
With a 'ding', he opened the door, his tone somewhat careless.
"Come in."
Lin Mian swallowed nervously and cautiously stepped inside.
The room seemed very large to her, around 200 square meters. The interior furnishings were simple, in a monotone gray and white color scheme, with details exuding a subtle sense of understated luxury taste.
She had heard that the houses here were very expensive, occupied by high-end talents. Just from the luxurious facilities in the lobby downstairs, it was clear that an ordinary person would not know how many years it would take to afford it.
Lin Mian stood at the entrance, as timid as a mouse.Shi Lin closed the door, opened the cabinet in the entrance, and threw her a pair of disposable slippers. Lin Mian obediently took off her shoes and slipped her feet into them.
Walking into the living room, the man sat on the sofa, slightly leaning back, legs crossed in a casual and lazy posture.
His deep gaze scanned her up and down, unreservedly and directly probing. Lin Mian felt like she was being appraised like a commodity waiting to be slaughtered.
With the man remaining silent, she didn't dare to move around recklessly.
She stood in the living room, head lowered.
Her mind was a mess, buzzing loudly. Even though she couldn't hear any sound, she felt like her whole brain was deafeningly loud.
The man's gaze was fixed on her, his pupils extremely dark and penetrating. He even changed his posture, still staring directly and casually at her every move.
Lin Mian's heart pounded wildly, her face hot and flushed. It seemed like all the blood in her body rushed to her head, her hands fidgeting nervously.
Shi Lin placed a glass on the coffee table with a dull thud, his emotions unreadable.
Lin Mian clenched her hands on her belt, gripping the buckle tightly and not daring to let go.
The next moment, she suddenly recoiled, "I've changed my mind, I'm sorry, I'll leave now."
She hurriedly turned to flee, trembling as she tried to pull open the door handle, but it wouldn't budge.
The door was locked from the inside.
Lin Mian's heart leaped to her throat in an instant.
At that moment, Shi Lin slowly approached, tall and imposing, effortlessly pressing her against the door.
He kept closing in, his handsome face less than a foot away from hers, indicating his strong dominanceFeelings.
"Wanted to change your mind? It's too late now."
