She placed her hand on his sturdy arm, the muscles beneath making her heart flutter. Pressed against the single sofa, Yun leaned back against the leather chair, turning her head to separate her lips from his. He bumped into her while wearing glasses.
His warm lips brushed against her ear and neck, sending shivers down her spine. Just then, the phone rang, jolting Yun back to reality. She pushed him away, whispering that someone was calling.
Jiang Shiyu gasped and pulled back slightly, while Yun clutched her phone tightly. When she saw it was Shu Ran, she quickly covered his mouth to muffle his heavy breathing. With a warning glance, she signaled him to stay quiet as she answered the call.
"Ran Ran, what's up?"
"Where are you?"
"I've already gone back to my room to rest. What about you guys?" Yun's tone was somewhat unnatural as she tried to sound normal.
"Oh, we're still out. I was worried about you being alone."
"By the way, Jiang Shiyu hasn't done anything inappropriate, has he?"
Yun glanced at the man beside her and lied, "No, he was quite well-behaved today."
"Good. Make sure to get some rest."
"Okay, bye."
Once the call ended, Yun felt the tension in her body ease. Jiang Shiyu pulled her hand down and asked, "What do you mean by 'he hasn't done anything'?"
Now fully awake, Yun's desires remained unquenched as she avoided his gaze. "It’s just what it is."
Jiang Shiyu chuckled softly. "Right," he said in a low voice as he leaned in and kissed the skin near her ear, his breath tickling her and making her shrink back slightly.
She pushed him away. "That's enough; don't go too far."
Jiang Shiyu looked at her with an intensity that made Yun shy away from meeting his eyes. "Wasn't it you who wanted to see my abs? Now that you've touched them, you don't recognize me?"
Yun defended herself, "I didn't!"
Jiang Shiyu's gaze dropped downwards, and only then did Yun realize her hands were resting on his chest muscles. Startled, she tried to retract them but found them firmly held in place by him. With his other hand gripping her slim waist, he pinched gently, causing Yun to squirm with a soft giggle.
Desire was unmistakably evident in his eyes, laid bare without any pretense.
Yun lowered her gaze, letting out a soft hum that was both coy and alluring. Embarrassment washed over her, prompting her to turn away and reveal her slender neck and delicate profile.
Jiang Shiyu seized the moment, releasing her hand and swiftly unbuttoning his shirt, the buttons popping off with a snap. He quickly discarded the garment, pressing his forehead against her dark hair.
"Let me show you."
Yun's eyes fell upon him; the room was dimly lit, with only a faint glow from the entrance casting shadows. His chest was muscular and well-defined, and just above his right pectoral was a tattoo of Xiang Yun. The tail of the design flowed downwards, merging into a character that continued upwards.
Despite the low light, she could see it clearly.
Yun Xin felt a sudden warmth on her mouth, as if something had burned her, causing her heart to clench.
Her gaze shifted from the tattoo to a scar in the center of his chest, where flesh had been torn apart, forming a star-shaped hole.
Her throat felt constricted, as if something were lodged there. She moved her eyes down to his abs, which were just as impressive as those she had seen online.
The belt was fastened tightly around his waist, and the contrast between his black dress pants and bare upper body was striking to her senses.
Jiang Shiyu cupped her face in his hands, studying her intently. His voice was hoarse and breathy as he said, "Help me take off my glasses."
