Chapter 672 Notorious Intentions



Jin immediately turned his head away, staring at the outside world with a trembling gaze. He clenched his fist to distance his mind from the image he just saw with a deep breath.

Shui barked. "Why did you turn your head away?"

"Nothing."

"Then look my way," she grabbed his jaw and forced him to face her, which brought Jin's attention back to her chest. A sharp, gasp remained stuck in his throat, sensing as though her two lovely breasts were inviting him to touch them.

He could feel the heat rush inside him such that it sent shockwaves across his chest, making his heart pound back and forth with vigor.

Shit! Shit! Shit!

"Why is your face so red?" Shui frowned. "Did the choking raise your temperature somehow? That's strange..."n0velusb.c0M

With that concern in mind, she edged closer and inclined near him. She placed her palm on his forehead to check the temperature, which seemed normal to her.

But Jin wasn't. At this point, her chest was way up close and almost brushing the space between his chin and neck. He didn't realize that he had stopped breathing upon feeling Shui's touch. Her soft fingers on his temples felt relaxing and comforting but not the area below her chest that nudged dangerously closer to him. It seemed to embark Jin on his own journey of patience and control.

"Shui..." his hoarse voice managed to speak up, "I don't h-have any fever. I am fine...really..."

Her eyes narrowed. "Is that the truth or a way to put distance between us again?"

Oh God how it is for the latter but not in the way you are thinking...

His trembling breaths urged a gush within him that was threatening to knock down his senses the more their intimate position remained in a lock. His gaze accidentally fell on the source of his tension again. Her sweet scent invading his nostrils along with the delicious sight causing his fingers to twitch was increasingly making it unbearable to sit still without giving away his notorious intentions.

Jin grabbed her shoulders and gently pushed her back to make space for him to stand. "I am done!"

He marathoned outside as if he would die if had to be near Shui even for a second more. The blast of cold wind against face seemed to calm down the heated zeal tingling his body. His numb senses were beginning to normalize

"Yuze, please listen to me!"

A shrill instantly diffused the push and pull of Jin's situation, breaking away the one-sided fervor reverberating in his heart. He abruptly stopped in his tracks, following the woman's voice.

He slightly turned towards a corridor and stared at the direction of a woman chasing after a man who clearly looked like he wanted to have nothing to do with her.

Shui, who breathlessly ran after Jin, was also taken aback by a woman's loud exclamation and naturally turned to give her a look.

Jin stiffened. "Why are you following me?"

That earned him a vicious glare. "That was really nice of you to run away from your friend who was concerned and trying to help you and your audacity on top of that to leave her alone for lunch. You are so grateful, aren't you?" Her voice dripping with sarcasm ruthlessly attacked him.

Jin was itching to give a retort, but he held back.

Who do you think was the source of my problem!

He focused back on the man and woman and tilted his head, squinting his eyes at them.

"I saw them back at the restaurant too," Shui slightly craned her neck. "I had noticed them on the other side. But he didn't seem to be angry at that time. Quite the opposite actually."

Jin looked closely and blinked at the man, recognizing him.

Kang Yuze, isn't he...?

For tomorrow's meeting with the delegates, he was also going to be a part of it, representing Kang Industries. But he didn't recognize the woman, desperately following him.

His girlfriend?

She held his arm, stopping him in his way and trying to talk to him. Jin and Shui couldn't hear their conversation as they were far away but after sometime, it was evident that Kang Yuze wasn't so interested in talking to her as if there was nothing left to talk anymore.

The woman's countenance looked extremely guilty and regretful, making Jin sure that she definitely made some mistake which got on his nerves. However he still maintained a respectful distance and tone as he seemed to voice out his displeasure.

At one point, the woman stubbornly kept refusing to let go of him, making Shui feel sorry for Kang Yuze. She was trying to cling onto him despite the fact that it made him genuinely uncomfortable. Shui seriously wondered how they were talking then so civilly back at the restaurant. What had something went so seriously wrong in just a matter of a few minutes?

Jin suddenly realized that he had been peeping at a private conversation and long crossed his line of initial curiosity. He cleared his throat and began walking away.

"What do you think happened between them? They looked cool in the restaurant," Shui voiced out, trying to figure out what might have gone wrong.

"Kang Yuze?" He shrugged. "Might be a date went wrong."

She blinked at him. "You know him?"

"He is going to be a part of tomorrow's meeting. Kang Industries."

She gasped after a second. "No wonder he seemed familiar. I remember him now. Kang Yuze," she facepalmed at her silliness. "Was that woman his girlfriend then?"

"Who knows and who cares?"

She scowled. "How insensitive. He looked clearly troubled back there."

He shrugged. "Doesn't matter to me. Kang Industries is considered wealthy and influential in its own right. I have seen women like her. I am sure you have too for Bro Siying. The ones to cling onto a man's status and money. Her stubbornness reminded me of exactly those women."

"I know she seemed to be the problem but I feel it's too soon to judge. We might be wrong about her."

He gave her a sideways glance and cocked his brow. "Stay away from her if you see her tomorrow. She is definitely a trouble attracting magnet."

Jin looked ahead as he walked but his thoughts floated to another question that kept popping up.

Kang...Where have I heard that last name before?
