7 Chapter 7: Uh, water.......

Ouch!

Every bone in her body felt as if it had been taken apart and rearranged.

Rong Yan frowned in discomfort in her sleep.

The man who had been looking at documents in the car heard a mosquito-like whimper beside him and subconsciously furrowed his brows, glancing over to see a pale, delicate face and lashes that trembled as though unsettled in slumber. The fair, oval face inexplicably reminded him of a fragile little deer in the forest.

He himself disliked contact with women, often feeling a sense of disgust when near them, but this time, miraculously, he felt no aversion; he even wanted to reach out and touch her trembling lashes...

Li Shengxiao realized his hand was already suspended in mid-air, and he abruptly withdrew it, about to refocus on his work.

"Water~"

Gently, just like a kitten's cry.

He furrowed his brow.

"Um... water..."

This time as well, soft, with a rising tone at the end and filled with the coquettish sound of a woman.

Li Shengxiao was rarely disturbed during work, and even though he heard the muddled request from the person beside him, he still didn't move an eyelash, continuing to look at the document in his hand.

An important meeting had already been delayed today.

He had to find some time early tomorrow morning to complete it, but before then, he needed to finish reading all the documents sent by his assistant.

"Hmm..."

Rong Yan started to run a fever.

Her earlobes and cheeks were burning crimson, she felt discomfort all over, and her throat was parched. She opened her eyes, which were hazy, and attempted to prop herself up with her arms. Unfortunately, she didn't have the strength, and with a plop, she slid down again.

She hadn't come to her senses before she heard a muffled grunt.

"Hmm, water..."

Damn it! Li Shengxiao put down the document in his hand and finally lifted his head. His profound gaze swept over the woman in the back seat whom he didn't know why he had agreed to bring along.

"Um, it's so uncomfortable." Rong Yan struggled again to get up, her eyes clouded by the fever, incessantly searching for a 'water source' nearby. Finally, she saw a pair of thin lips close at hand, looking soft like the jelly she usually ate...

Why was this 'jelly' swaying before her eyes?

She really wanted to eat it...

Eating a jelly should quench the thirst, right?

Before her mind could catch up, her body instinctively leaned forward and enveloped the very 'appetizing' looking jelly with her mouth.

When Rong Yan's sweet fragrance enveloped him, Li Shengxiao's eyes narrowed slightly, and the possibility of breaking her neck flashed through his mind.

But soon, two soft lips boldly pressed against his.

An unbelievable sensation of softness swept over his entire body! Rong Yan did not like wearing perfume, so there was no cloying scent on her, just a faint fragrance of soapberries. Because she was wholeheartedly close, the fresh and natural aroma effortlessly wafted around.

Li Shengxiao furrowed his brows deeply.

No aversion.

To his surprise, he didn't dislike this sensation at all—in fact... he wanted more!

How could this be!

"Um." The person delirious from the high fever loosened her grip and withdrew from his embrace, seemingly uncomfortable, tilting her head with a raspy voice, "Water... it's so uncomfortable..."

She wanted water, she felt so uncomfortable.

The 'jelly' didn't quench her thirst at all, she felt deceived!

Li Shengxiao's eyes narrowed slightly, and his heart experienced a moment of loss. He took a bottle of water from the side and, as the person beside him slid over again, he wrapped his long arms around her, pulling her into his embrace. He looked down, his dark eyes falling on her continuously moving, troubled red lips, as if contemplating something. The next second, he took a mouthful of water and naturally hooked his arm around the slender waist of the woman, leaning in for a kiss...

"Mhm." Rong Yan's hand clutched tightly the collar of the man in front of her, and in her hazy consciousness, she could feel a cool, thirst-quenching stream of water flowing continuously into her throat. She couldn't help but move closer, then closer still.

The flame in his abdomen was fanned by the friction with the person in his arms, and Li Shengxiao tightened his embrace, following his instincts to deepen the kiss fiercely!

"Tss—" The Bentley screeched to a halt, its tires skidding to a stop at the roadside.

The driver, with a face like he'd seen a ghost, stared at the rear-view mirror, frantically apologizing, "I'm sorry, Mr. Li."

He saw a ghost!

Really saw a ghost!

He had actually witnessed Mr. Li passionately kissing a woman!

More terrifying than seeing a ghost!

Li Shengxiao frowned unhappily, straightening the person who was about to slide off his lap, his voice hoarse and incredibly sexy from the recent kiss, "Drive."

"Yes."

The driver dared not look anymore, hurriedly reversing and stepping on the gas, racing towards Country Garden...

Country Garden was the villa Li Shengxiao had built specially when he moved out of his home at eighteen. The entire plot of Country Garden had been bought by the Li Group, and this affluent area had only his villa, known as the most prestigious and untouchable place in Capital City!
