Chapter 9 - Pushed Down On The Couch

While Wang Rouxi and Lu Sha were talking inside the kitchen, the man who had been the topic of Wang Rouxi's thoughts suddenly groaned out in pain.

Xia Jiannan furrowed his brows as he felt his headache worsening, his thin lips forming a straight line.

He felt as though a sledgehammer was continuously ramming into his head and was about to split it in half.

What's more, adding to his sufferings was the uncontrollable reaction of a certain part of his body.

"Ugh! Goddammit!" Xia Jiannan could not help but cursed under his breath.

Reclining his back on the couch, Xia Jiannan squeezed his eyes shut and placed his left forearm over his forehead to block the light coming from the fluorescent. His right hand was gripping his trousers tightly.

'Get a grip, Xia Jiannan!'

This was how Wang Rouxi found him when she came back from the kitchen to get him a drink.

There was no sign of Lu Sha anymore, like he had not been there in the first place.

Holding the bottle of water in her left hand, Wang Rouxi walked over and silently observed the man.

As she was about to nudge him awake, Wang Rouxi noticed that he was sweating all over.

Her pair of beautiful eyes looked at the man in genuine concern.

It was then that she realized that Xia Jiannan's skin had turned into a slightly reddish color.

It looked like he was burning up!

Putting the bottle of water on the coffee table, Wang Rouxi leaned in to check his body temperature, just like how she did it back then inside the car.

Even though she had only slightly grazed the skin on his neck, Wang Rouxi could not help but to immediately retract her hand.

He was so hot that her fingers felt like they were on fire!

But even after Wang Rouxi had touched him, Xia Jiannan remained motionless on the couch with his eyes firmly shut close.

It was not that Xia Jiannan could not feel anything. It was just that, he had sort of predicted Wang Rouxi's actions that he did not react.

Earlier, before her hand could make a contact with his skin, Xia Jiannan could already smell a faint fragrance invading his nostrils.

He surmised that the alluring woman must have wanted to "wake" him up.

That was why when Xia Jiannan felt the smooth yet cold fingers of the woman brushed past his neck, he was not that surprised.

However, Wang Rouxi's touch made him feel as though his body was plunged inside a volcano, burning hot like lava.

While he was trying to suppress that primal beast inside him, Xia Jiannan suddenly realized that someone had started to unbutton his suit...

Opening his eyes, Xia Jiannan saw the woman's face so close with his. They were so close to each other that he could clearly see her long eyelashes. Even those pink lips that look extremely kissable and seductive...

Xia Jiannan frowned.

With his long and smooth fingers, Xia Jiannan pinned Wang Rouxi's wrists above her head as he pushed her down on the couch in one fluid movement...

"What. Do. You. Think. You. Were. Doing?" Xia Jiannan gritted through his teeth.

Honestly, Wang Rouxi didn't have the slightest inkling that her actions would incite a dangerous reaction from Xia Jiannan.

Her only intention then was to ease a little bit of the "sleeping" man's suffering.

Even she felt suffocated just looking at him wearing such thick layered clothing, so she didn't think twice about helping him out in removing his black coat.

Not thinking too much about it, she started to unbutton his suit..

However, in the next second, she found herself pinned down by the man on her own couch.

Gazing down at the fragile-looking woman beneath her, Xia Jiannan's eyes dimmed a little.

The golden strands of her hair were sprawled out on the black colored couch, making her look extremely submissive and seductive.

Even though she was not wearing anything too revealing, Xia Jiannan almost wanted to ravish her right then and there.

In fact, she was just wearing a normal formal business suit. But it was the aura that she exuded that made Xia Jiannan feel excited.

She was like an olden day enchantress trapped inside the body of an ethereal beauty.

Yet the moment his eyes met the woman's clear and innocent ones, a sudden urge to protect her swelled up in Xia Jiannan.

He suddenly felt conflicted...

At that time, someone hidden in the shadows barely managed to contain himself from lashing out after seeing his Lordship being taken advantage of right before his very eyes.
