Chapter 240: Chapter 240 Pei Liyan, Be Gentle

Qiao Rui’s heart tightened, and she looked towards the man in the room in astonishment.

"You, you’re back so soon?"

Pei Liyan was actually sitting on the bed in the room, looking at her calmly as if he had been waiting for her to return.

"You didn’t hope for me to return this quickly, did you?" Pei Liyan’s deep male voice resonated, his gaze piercing as he watched Qiao Rui with an inscrutable expression.

Qiao Rui’s heartbeat was like a drum, a bit frantic.

She tried to tell herself not to panic, that being cornered wasn’t a big deal.

She quickly composed herself.

She chuckled with a deliberately sweet and seductive smile.

"How could that be?"

Pei Liyan snorted lightly, "You think I would believe you?"

"Why wouldn’t you believe me?" Qiao Rui walked over, very careful and guarded.

This man was supposed to be at the hospital, right?

How could he have come back, unless he did so on purpose?

Anyway, she had to be cautious.

Pei Liyan’s piercing eyes homed in on Qiao Rui without betraying much emotion, but fixated intently on her gaze.

Overpowered by his overwhelming coldness, Qiao Rui smiled and said again, "Why are you looking at me like that? It’s pretty creepy."

"Where did you go?" Pei Liyan spoke again.

Qiao Rui looked at Pei Liyan’s displeased face, walked over quickly, and cleverly took the man’s arm, sitting down beside him. "I was just testing if it’s possible to climb this hotel building, I didn’t go anywhere."

"Weren’t you supposed to be sleeping?" Pei Liyan asked without changing his tone.

"I did sleep, for a little while, but I felt uneasy," Qiao Rui blurted out, "After all, what you said was so frightening, I feared someone might break in, so I decided to try and see if the building was climbable myself!"

Pei Liyan’s eyes, sharp and astute, flickered as he glanced at Qiao Rui and mocked lightly, "It seems very climbable indeed; you seemed to have had an easy time."

"Not at all, it was quite tough for me," Qiao Rui hastily denied, "It took an enormous effort to climb up."

"Is that so?" The man looked at her hand wrapped around his arm.

"Mr. Pei." Qiao Rui changed her voice, sounding especially tender and coquettish, "Don’t you trust me?"

"Don’t use that disgusting voice to act coquettish with me," Pei Liyan said evenly, "If you don’t tell me where you went today, I won’t let this go."

Qiao Rui wailed, tilting her head onto the man’s shoulder, her long hair also falling down, brushing against his chin.

She spoke again in a low voice, sounding like Luo Li, "Pei Liyan."

The man shivered, and his voice turned hoarse, "Hm?"

"I’m telling the truth; I really was just trying it out. It was only a short while; where could I have possibly gone?" she asked in a quiet voice, no longer sounding so frantic.

However, with her head bowed, her hair falling down, it hid her emotions.

"Over an hour, you could visit a lot of places," the man said in a deep tone.

Qiao Rui was startled, had Si Ran discovered she had gone out?

Impossible.

She felt Si Ran wouldn’t be so audacious as to come in and check on her while she was sleeping, and besides, Si Ran wasn’t the type to be an impudent secretary; she was very sensible and knew her limits.

So, this was definitely Pei Liyan deliberately baiting her, trying to trick her into revealing herself.

Qiao Rui came back to her senses, reminding herself not to fall for it.

"I just climbed for a few minutes, if you don’t trust me, there’s nothing I can do." Qiao Rui said, "To kill or to slash, it’s up to you!"

She let go of him and leaned back, supporting herself with her hands behind her, half reclining on the bed with her eyes squinted at him, a posture both frank and full of charm.

Pei Liyan turned to look at her; this manner, somewhat frivolous.

But that slender waist, the tall figure, and the full chest were even more seductive, not to mention a delicate little face, with cheeks like blooming peach blossoms, stunningly beautiful.

Pei Liyan’s deep and serene eyes narrowed, lingering on her body. After a long while, his voice came out hoarse, "To kill or to slash, you decide?"

Qiao Rui blinked, suddenly understanding his implication.

She froze for a moment, staring at him dumbly for a full three seconds.

Then Pei Liyan’s thin lips parted slightly, "Then I won’t be polite."

Qiao Rui shook her head subconsciously.

But the next second, the man was already pressing down on her.

"Ah, no way, are you serious?" Qiao Rui’s first reaction was to cry out in alarm, instinctively trying to flip the man onto the ground.

But guilt made her stop her following actions, only to be pinned down by the heavy weight of the man.

Pei Liyan looked down at Qiao Rui, the faint fragrance from her body making his breath suddenly short and disordered.

The hands he propped up by her side exerted force slightly, knuckles whitening with the effort.

Qiao Rui was thin, but her figure was nevertheless very sexy, not modest in the slightest where it mattered.

He looked down, his gaze falling upon her small face, her fair neck, her good-looking collarbones.

Her seaweed-like hair lay loose, not put up nor tied in a ponytail, falling around her, extremely seductive.

And when she smiled, she was like a cunningly innocent yet fatally tempting siren, especially when she gazed at him with those big eyes, instantly awakening the deepest thoughts lying dormant within him.

In an instant, he became like a hunter spotting the prey, his blood stirring with eagerness.

It wasn’t until there was a hint of pain that he realized what had been tumultuous in his mind, and without any more courtesy, he lowered his head.

"Ugh!" Qiao Rui let out a low noise.

Pei Liyan paused, his Adam’s apple moving as he finally let out a sigh from deep in his throat, murmuring, "Don’t refuse me now!"

Qiao Rui was stunned, gazing at him dumbfounded.

Pei Liyan also looked back at her, his gaze deep and serious, "I can’t wait any longer!"

Qiao Rui remembered the words he said at the gate of Liu Garden to the Ruirui in his heart, realizing it was a goodbye.

Now back, being like this with her, saying he could not wait.

She stared at him, silent for a long time, her red lips pursed, just looking at him.

Beads of sweat formed on the man’s firm lips, spilling from his forehead, and his noble nose was also covered with fine droplets of sweat, which gathered more and more, finally turning into sweat streaming down his face.

Drip!

A drop of sweat fell onto the edge of Qiao Rui’s red lips, and she was taken aback.

Then, she extended her tongue, giving it a lick.

Salty and astringent, that was the taste of a man’s sweat.

However, this action was like a catalyst, instantly causing Pei Liyan’s pupils to constrict, giving no more chances to Qiao Rui....

Clothes were scattered all over the floor.

That afternoon, the sun shined through the window, casting light onto the floor and reflecting onto the ceiling, bright and shimmering.

The man finally had Qiao Rui.

But in that moment, with no resistance at all, he was taken aback, feeling somewhat disappointed inside.

Was she not the pure girl he thought she was, who then had she been with before?

Endless disappointment spread, making Pei Liyan’s originally compassionate heart burn with rage, and he couldn’t help but be more forceful.

Qiao Rui furrowed her brows, crying out lowly, "Pei Liyan, be gentle!"

But the answer Qiao Rui got was only a fiercer storm.
