His Adam's Apple Bobbed

"Look, there are countless women who want to get close to him. However, because of his murderous aura, no one dares to get close to him. Basically, all of them are lecherous but have no guts. You confessed and proposed right from the start. Although Lu Zhanbei didn't respond to you, he didn't do anything to you either. I feel that this method of yours is on the right track. I'm guessing Lu Zhanbei kinda likes it. So forget about things step by step. Just go ahead and sleep with him. Once you do so, he will be yours."

Tong Yi was rendered completely speechless. This method was just too simple and crude!

Even though completing the mission was important, she admitted that she was not such a noble person that she would sacrifice herself for it.

"What do you think of this idea?" He sounded like he was expecting to be praised.

Tong Yi said, "Didn't you ask me to show more restraint earlier?"

"You've already chased after him all the way to Lan City, what kind of restraint are you talking about?"

Tong Yi was once again speechless.

"Trust me, this will definitely work. I'm a man, so how can I not know what a man really wants? To put it bluntly, it's just sex."

Tong Yi remained speechless.

"Of course. If he's really gay, that's a different story."

"You haven't eaten, have you?"

"Huh?" The topic changed too quickly for Ling Rui to react.

"You should grab something to eat." Saying that, Tong Yi hung up. The topic was too taboo, and she did not want to talk about it.

When Lu Zhanbei didn't return at eight, Tong Yi felt hungry but was too lazy to go down for food. She ordered some food off the room service menu and continued to wait for him on the couch.

Eleven at night, the door was pushed open from the outside.

Lu Zhanbei walked into the living room and saw Tong Yi curled up on the couch, fast asleep.

The television was still on.

He walked over, grabbed the remote from the coffee table, and turned off the television.

His gaze shifted to Tong Yi.

Under the light, her skin was as fair as an egg that had just been peeled. She was so close that one could see the light fuzz on her skin. Her facial features were exquisite, and despite not having any makeup on her face, she looked elegant and refined.

Her fringe was casually parted to the side, revealing her fair forehead. A strand of her short hair fell across her face as she was leaning sideways on the couch.

Lu Zhanbei, who had OCD, subconsciously bent down and wanted to push that strand of hair away.

His hand stopped in front of her face.

His hand paused midair for two seconds before reaching out to push the strand of hair away.

When his fingers accidentally brushed against her skin, it reminded him of her soft touch when she held his wrist at the entrance of the clubhouse.

His Adam's apple bobbed.

Lu Zhanbei straightened his body, turned around, and went into the bedroom to get a bathrobe before entering the bathroom.

After coming out of the shower, Lu Zhanbei reached for a clean towel to dry his hair while walking to the bedroom. He didn't spare a glance at the couch at all.

After entering the room, Lu Zhanbei threw the towel away before picking up the cigarette box and lighter from the bedside table and walked to the window.

He opened the window, tilted his head slightly, and lit a cigarette.

Looking up at the bright night sky, he started to smoke.

However, his handsome brows remained furrowed.

Halfway through his cigarette, he turned around and left the room. He walked to the couch and gazed at the sleeping girl.

The cigarette smoke slowly rose from between his fingers. He stopped smoking, the cigarette hanging between his fingers. A moment later, he pinched his glabella with his other hand, turned around, and extinguished the cigarette in the ashtray.

Turning back around, he picked the girl up from the couch and carried her to the bedroom.

He placed the girl on the bed and covered her with the blanket, but he did not leave immediately.

As he continued to lean over her, his large hand moved away from the blanket to caress Tong Yi's face.

As he rubbed his fingers back and forth, his handsome black eyes became increasingly dark. In his eyes, there was confusion, danger, dominance, sharpness, and even a trace of gentleness that he did not know he possessed.
