However, he spoke to her in that deep, irresistible voice right next to her ear. It was nothing short of seducing her into temptation.
She felt his burning hot hands roaming on her skin, and her whole body couldn't help trembling. Finally, her tone softened as she pleaded, "Third Brother... I was wrong. I'm really sorry."
A real man knows when to yield. What's the big deal about begging for forgiveness?
Lu Qianzhou looked at her. Her cheeks were flushed, looking extremely alluring. There was a mist in her eyes, making her look both aggrieved and pitiful.
"Third Brother, I won't make a fuss about this again in the future..."
Lu Qianzhou said calmly, "Next time you mention breaking up, remember the gambling agreement we signed. Once we break up, you have to pay me at least ten billion as the breakup fee."
He was still thinking about the gambling agreement at this moment. Sure enough, his mind was always clearer than hers.
Suddenly, she blurted out, "But you never told me about your business with Jiang Yue."
It was really stupid to fall into the same pit twice.
Lu Qianzhou stared at her for a long time. Suddenly, he reached out and pulled her tightly into his arms. He rested his chin on top of her head, closed his eyes, and said in a low voice, "She still has some value to me. I'm not going to fall out with her for now."
Yan Xia pouted. It was clearly just an excuse.
"Don't believe anything she says, don't listen to her either, and never believe the words of those who try to sow discord."
Yan Xia buried her head in his chest and was silent for a while.
All they could hear was her saying, "Okay."
She looked extremely docile and cute, with a small, fair ear exposed.
Lu Qianzhou lowered his head and gently kissed her earlobe. His warm breath sprayed on her ear. Yan Xia gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, and her body trembled slightly. She instinctively reacted.
"Xiaxia, is it okay?" His voice was right next to her ear.
Since her hasty farewell to her sister, no one had called her Xiaxia so affectionately.
"We haven't..." She wanted to say something but hesitated. "Isn't it too soon..."
These words sounded more like a half - hearted refusal.
Lu Qianzhou's kisses lingered on her lips. He said with a bit of regret, "I'm a bit regretful. Whether you're Fang Jiangyi's girlfriend or not doesn't really matter to our plan. Now I have to watch you appear as his girlfriend, and every minute and every second of it is torture for me."
His voice was like that of a witch with magic, luring people into indulgence.
Yan Xia said, "It's not entirely without benefits. At least I have a chance to get close to Shengshi and extract more useful information from him..."
Lu Qianzhou smiled and said, "That's not important. Now I just want to make the most of the time you're by my side and not waste a single moment."
Yan Xia's heart was pounding like crazy. She felt another wave of palpitations. Lu Qianzhou was really too charming. Whenever he said such cheesy love words, she was completely helpless.
Her chest heaved violently. During the conversation, somehow Lu Qianzhou had almost stripped off her clothes. Her shoulders were fair and round, and they trembled slightly.
He chuckled softly, leaned down close to her lips. Just as their lips lightly touched, he whispered in this position, "Seize every opportunity to end all this, get rid of him, and get you back by my side. My reason tells me that I can do anything for you, regardless of the consequences."
All her rationality was sucked away by him. It seemed that even her breathing was no longer under her control. Her body went limp involuntarily, and she slumped in his arms. Her ears rang, and she couldn't hear anything.
Lu Qianzhou's kisses trailed down her neck. His hands roamed all over her body.
This was a very strange feeling, like a drug addict experiencing unprecedented pleasure and ecstasy. Because it was him, only him, so she didn't resist.
The atmosphere in the room was ambiguous and scorching hot. However, the sudden ringing of the phone instantly shattered the ambience.
Yan Xia suddenly opened her eyes. In the dim light, she saw Lu Qianzhou lying on top of her. Her mind suddenly woke up. Instinctively, she grabbed her clothes and covered her chest tightly. She looked at him fearfully and flusteredly, breathing slightly heavily.
Lu Qianzhou looked over and used his eyes to ask her what was wrong.
Maybe she saw a hint of disappointment in his eyes. Yan Xia leaned over to get her phone, steadied her chaotic breathing, and said, "My phone is ringing..."
She grabbed the phone and found that it was Fang Jiangyi calling. Him calling at this moment was like adding fuel to the fire.
Yan Xia covered her clothes and rolled over. She saw Lu Qianzhou's shirt wide open, revealing his well - defined and firm abs.
She turned her face away and covered the mouthpiece of the phone with her hand as she answered, "Mr. Fang."
Her voice was soft and sounded a bit strange. She coughed lightly, and then she heard Lu Qianzhou chuckling behind her.
"What's wrong with you? Is your throat uncomfortable?" Fang Jiangyi asked.
Yan Xia said, "It's okay. I'm a bit overheated. What do you want from me?"
Fang Jiangyi said, "Regarding the Xinghaiwan project, the board of directors has had a discussion. Considering that you're really busy and the Xinghaiwan project is too large, they're afraid that you're too young to handle it. So you don't need to get involved in this project anymore."
Yan Xia was silent for a moment. She knew that those people wouldn't hand such a large project to her alone. But to deprive her of all rights and not even give her a chance to get involved couldn't be just because they were afraid she was young.
Noticing her silence, Fang Jiangyi thought she was overthinking again and immediately said,
"But you've really been too tired these days. Just take a good rest. Shengshi is too prominent now. It's bound to attract envy. I believe your initial goal when you came to Shengshi will be achieved soon."
There was a rustling sound behind her. Lu Qianzhou was starting to get dressed.
Yan Xia looked back and said, "I understand."
Fang Jiangyi said, "Do you have anything else to ask me?"
Yan Xia said, "No. I respect the board's decision."
"I'll pick you up tomorrow morning."
She exchanged a few pleasantries with Fang Jiangyi and then hung up the phone. She covered her clothes and stood up to ask Lu Qianzhou,
"Third Brother, are you going back?"
He looked very serious and said, "Fang Jiangyi is coming to pick you up tomorrow morning. Do you want me to stay here and wait for him to catch us in the act?"
Yan Xia was amused by him. She stood up and wrapped her arms around him from behind.
"Third Brother, I hope that no matter what happens, we can have absolute trust in each other and not believe the words of outsiders. Just like you said, don't just listen to what others say, but look at what they do."
Lu Qianzhou patted the back of her hand as a form of comfort.
The next day, she got up more than ten minutes earlier than usual to wash up. When she looked in the mirror, she saw several ambiguous marks on her neck. Fortunately, she had the sudden urge to put on a light makeup today. Otherwise, if she went to see Fang Jiangyi like this, she would never be able to clear her name.
Yan Xia panicked and quickly took out the concealer to cover up the marks on her neck. Then she went out to meet Fang Jiangyi.
Fang Jiangyi saw that she seemed to be in a good mental state, and the stone in his heart finally dropped.
"I thought you'd be overthinking because of what I said last night."
Yan Xia smiled and said, "What words? The one about not allowing me to get involved in the Xinghaiwan project anymore? Actually, it suits my wishes. There are too many stakes and it's too complicated in this project."
