817 State Your Terms (1/2)
Long Jinjing swallowed hard while her heart galloped inside her chest after hearing what Mr. Yummylicious Lu Zihao said. His words shocked her to the core.
Heat pooled and coiled in a tight ball in her lower abdomen. She wanted to say yes and surrender herself to the man but her good sense was desperately shouting no inside her head.
”No,” she eventually managed to say while shaking her head harder than usual to persuade not only him but also herself. ”Mr. Lu, we agreed that what happened between us would only be a one-night stand. Nothing more.”
His heavy gaze bore down on her and made her shiver with both nervousness and desire. However, her mind was already made up.
Unlike him, she wasn't looking for a quick and convenient fuck buddy—ah, how embarrassing to even just think of the term! She had her one night of wild pleasure with him and that was enough. From now on, she no longer wanted any one-night stands. Instead, she wanted a boyfriend who would both be her lover and partner and eventually…hopefully become a good and loyal husband in the future.
Sleeping with Lu Zihao again would only be pure stupidity on her part, especially since it was clear that he only wanted to have sex with her. In addition, the two of them were incompatible. Well, not completely incompatible, she admitted. They were very compatible in bed, alright. But based on her impression of him, their life values were completely incompatible with each other. And to Long Jinjing, compatibility in life values was more important for a happier life than being sexually compatible.
Long Jinjing couldn't take Lu Zihao's intense gaze on her so she turned her eyes away from him and looked at the wall instead. She cleared her throat and took a deep breath to regain her composure. ”Please leave, Mr. Lu. I'm not interested in having sex with you again.”
”Liar,” he said.
His accusation made her glare at him even as she flushed because it was true. In a more forceful tone, she repeated, ”Please leave now, Mr. Lu. There's the door. Please show yourself out.”
”You responded to my kiss,” he said in his wicked voice. ”I can tell that you want me again as much as I want you. Don't lie to me, Jinjing.”
”T-that…s-stop it,” she stammered. Her arms crossed over her chest in an effort to protect herself from him exposing her desire. ”Mr. Lu, please leave now.”
”State your terms,” he hissed.
She blinked, feeling confused. ”Terms?”
”State whatever terms you want that will make you agree to sleep with me again,” he said in a clearer voice.
His words shocked her once again. ”Y-you…are you…negotiating with me?”
He also crossed his muscled arms over his wide chest and continued staring at her with his deep, dark and intense eyes. ”Yes.”
She fell silent. Her feet unconsciously started pacing in the living room as she thought about his offer.
Wait.
