Chapter 1269 - Heart-palpitating Night (1/2)

Xuan Ying sat by the bedside, pressing his palm against his chest. Seeing his pain, Xia Ling hesitated for a while before she walked over. “Undo your buttons.”

The corners of Xuan Ying’s lips unconsciously twitched, he undid the button that he had just buttoned up. Then his black silk shirt just slid down, revealing half of his muscular chest.

Holding down her breath, Xia Ling lowered her lashes, looking at his broad shoulders and straight spine. He was seated, spreading his legs casually as he exuded an inexplicable charm.

She looked at him, there was a deep scar on his chest. Even though it was already fully healed, it was still a gruesome sight. She could only imagine how deep the knife had lacerated him.

“Come closer,” said Xuan Ying.

Xia Ling’s delicate skin flushed red, she was some distance away from him. There wasn’t anything obstructing them, but with his legs spread open, how was she supposed to go over?

“Come here.”

Xuan Ying grabbed her wrist, giving it a tug.

Caught off guard, Xia Ling fell into his arms.

“Ah!”

In order to stabilize herself, she just grabbed anything in her surroundings. She grasped his shirt with one hand and the other was on his muscular shoulder.

“Be careful.”

Xuan Ying stretched his hand out, grasping her slim waist. She had a feminine figure, he felt as though her svelte waist would break if he just used a bit more strength.

Xuan Ying could instantly feel his throat getting dry.

Springing up in an instant, Xia Ling stood up straight, instantly loosening her grip. Her hands started feeling burning hot.

“I’ll help you apply the medicine.”

Twisting open the cap, she picked up some product with her fingertip and started applying it on his wound. She just wanted to quickly get the job done and leave this place.

This man was dangerous and she subconsciously wanted to distance herself from him.

Xuan Ying could smell the sweet fragrance coming from her, it smelled like dessert, making him want to have a bite of her before just swallowing her whole.

His chest heaved and blood rushed to his head.

Those dark, inky eyes of his were bloodshot and with his Adam’s apple bobbing, he closed his legs and she was now caught between his thighs.

“What are you doing?” Xia Ling was stunned.

Xuan Ying lifted his eyes, looking at her and he pursed his lips. With a low voice, he warned, “Don’t touch me there.”

Where?

Xia Ling finally realized that she had touched him there, the shade of red spread from her face to her ears and flamed up even more.

“I-I didn’t do it on purpose,” she stammered, trying to explain herself and her lustrous eyes shifted around.

It made Xuan Ying want to tease her even more. “You can do it on purpose.”

He… allowed her to do it on purpose?

Xia Ling’s heart palpitated, looking at him in a daze. She could sense that he treated her differently.

He seemed to… like her a lot. If not, he wouldn’t say such suggestive words and flirt with her so many times. But why? She didn’t even know him.

“I really didn’t do it on purpose. I’m not… that kind of woman. I came here to work, please… don’t misunderstand me. Let go of me first! Please!” She tried to push him away.

But Xuan Ying didn’t budge, keeping her between his thighs. When he felt her struggles, his voice turned even more hoarse. “Stop moving.”

“Ah!”

Xia Ling lost her footing and fell backward.

Grabbing at her waist, the two of them fell onto the bed. Xia Ling was on top while he was underneath.

Just like that, her lips landed on his cheek.

They both froze.

Now that she had kissed him, they both went silent.
