Chapter 674 - Enough? (1/2)

Hillworth was a highly rated five-star hotel. Whether it was the elevator or the passageway, the hotel exuded elegance and luxury, and its ambiance quickly lifted one’s mood just by being there.

Xiao Luo headed to room 1305 and stopped in front of the door before taking out his phone to call Su Li.

He got through to her in two rings.

“What’s wrong?”

Su Li’s voice was icy, as usual. Not that she was deliberately being arrogant, but the manner of her speech was a habit formed over a long period.

Despite it, the tone of her voice was soft. It was already a significant change to her compared to when Xiao Luo first met her, and it warmed his heart hearing her voice.

He coughed for a bit, then said, “I’m already at Hillworth Hotel. I’m just outside your room; can you open your door?”

After saying that, there was silence on the other end of the phone.

As Xiao Luo wondered if something was wrong with the phone, the room door of 1305 opened, and a beautiful figure appeared from behind the door.

With her silky hair, delicate features, and fair skin, she was a stunning beauty that stood above everyone else. She possessed a sensuous and ethereal beauty. It couldn’t be anyone other than Su Li.

The white tunic skirt wrapped seductively around her graceful figure, resembling small waves. Her neckline exposed her visible collarbone, and she had a face that looked meticulously crafted. She stood there looking both glamourous and coquettish. She was flawless, and it was more than enough to make any guy fall into an obsession over her.

Su Li was stunned when she saw Xiao Luo. Still holding on to her phone, she stared blankly at him with her beautiful eyes.

“That…”

Xiao Luo kept his phone back and said, “Surely you’re not planning to make me stand outside, right?”

Su Li finally realized that she was not hallucinating, and it was indeed Xiao Luo. The journey from Xiahai to Jingcheng was over a thousand kilometers. They were on the phone less than an hour ago, and here he was now, standing in front of her. How did he get here so quickly?

Ploop~

In her state of stupor, the phone slipped out of her hand.

Xiao Luo instantly stretched his right hand out and grabbed her phone before it hit the floor. He then laughed mischievously and said, “What’s wrong? I know you’re excited to see me, but surely you don’t have to drop your phone, right?”

Su Li ignored his attempt at a joke and looked at him incredulously. “You… How did you do it?” she said.

“Do what?” Xiao Luo pretended he did not quite understand her question.

“Weren’t you still in Xiahai an hour ago? How did you suddenly appear here?” Su Li asked.

Xiao Luo chuckled and said, “I was lying to you. I arrived at Jingcheng airport when I returned. I was about to take a connecting flight back to Xiahai, but when I called you, you said you were at Jingcheng, so I came over to look for you.”

That was all he could say. He definitely couldn’t tell the truth, or Su Li would surely treat him like a weird monster.

“So, you just returned from Japan tonight?”

Su Li was much calmer now that she understood what was going on. If Xiao Luo had come over from Xiahai, then she would have considered it to be nothing short of supernatural.

Xiao Luo nodded his head and replied, “Yes.”

After saying that, he took a step forward, and came very close to Su Li. They were barely several centimeters apart, their faces almost touching, and they could feel each other’s breath on their faces.

“You… What are you doing?”

Su Li’s cheeks suddenly turned red, and she unconsciously took a step back.

Xiao Luo stretched his hands out and wrapped his arms around her slender and soft waist. He coughed a little and said, “Absence makes the heart grow fonder—haven’t you ever heard of it?”

Upon hearing that, Su Li’s face turned even redder. She tried to push him away, and whispered, “Stop that, there are people here.”
