Reborn: The Return of the Villainous Mr. Liu-Chapter 465 Merciful
Xing Bi felt the space constrict around her. There was the wall on her back and Nian in the front with his arms at the sides. It wasn't helping that his thumb was pressed on her lower lip, making her unable to focus on her escape.
"Y-you don't barge in someone's house a-and do these kinds of things…"
His index finger twirled a lock of her damp hair like a coil around it. "What kinds of things?"
This man definitely knows what I am talking about!
While Xing Bi was busy trying hard not to get sucked in by his pheromones, Nian on the other side, was busy staring at her neckline that continued down to give him a sneak at the slit between her breasts. The moistness from her hair was making her neck shine slightly with dampness as well. A desire to do something more than just holding her lurked in his irises.
Xing Bi felt his strong gaze directed at chest, and the tips of her ears turned even redder. She opened her mouth and spoke in a hoarse voice, "Can you…please step out…for a moment?"
That single question drained out all the stamina from her.
Nian narrowed his eyes. He released the lock of hair from his finger and instead started teasing her jawline with his feathery touch. "Why?"
She jolted back with heat spreading to the right side of her neckline the further Nian traced down. "Xing Bi…"
In the dark, his gruff voice sounded extra sexy and inviting. "Isn't it such a perfect atmosphere to do something more rather than driving me away?"
His right hand reached out to tug the belt of her bathrobe, making her stiffen. "D-don't!"
"Why?"
"I-I…I…"
"I know you are naked under the bathrobe."
"..."
"You thought I wouldn't notice that? That's the first thing I saw."
She gritted her teeth. "P-Pervert!"
"What is perverted in this? I am a man, not some God of celibacy not to get attracted by your compromising state."
She could feel steam escape from the top of her head.
Why is he acting so different today? Ah how I wish he gives that goofy grin so that I can beat him up!
"So I can safely say…" he leaned ahead till he brushed past her cheek and bent his head such that the tip of his nose tingled her skin, "that you are seducing me."
Her knees trembled, making her difficult to stand on her own. His hair tickled her earlobes. She kept thinking that he would kiss her neck the next moment, but what she got was only lots and lots of teasing. She felt the bathrobe loosening around her waist with his fingers tapping and dancing playfully.
"Y-y-you-you are not innocent at all!" She babbled helplessly, unable to push him away.
The sound of his chuckle rang in her ears deeply. "I never said that you were safe with me. The woman I love is in front of me in just a bathrobe with wet hair upon her shoulders and inciting all sorts of reactions within me, so what do you suppose I should do?"
Her mouth twitched. "B-Be a gentleman and-" 𝐟𝗿𝚎𝐞𝓌e𝒃𝑛𝒐ѵ𝒆𝑙.c𝚘𝓶
"The Liu family men are not saints."
? "..."
"In fact, no man will be a saint in this situation."
Fair point…
Xing Bi dared to ask in the darkness laced with silence, "So w-what will you do?"
"Hmm~" Nian took a long, purposeful and agonizing pause. "I feel like doing lots of things with you, especially after seeing you chatting with Hou Lin so chummily."
Her smile cracked. "That's just work."
A sudden gasp escaped her lips as his teeth seemed to bite her ear but not at the same time. "And now you are defending your relationship with him too. This doesn't sit well with me."
The warning hint in his tone made goosebumps appear on her skin.
"This demands a severe punishment, my dear."
Nian was at his limit. Feeling Xing Bi in a bathrobe was a torturous ordeal for him, who only wished to 'unrobe' her as soon as possible. Their dark surroundings added to the atmosphere, making his breathing slightly laborious. ƒ𝘳ee𝔀e𝚋n૦𝐯el.c𝗼𝓂
Xing Bi took advantage of that small moment's opening and bent down to slip from under his arms. But fate wasn't on her side and she crashed her knee against the table. She was about to fall when Nian grabbed her arm. In all that movement, the belt of her bathrobe became undone, making her choke.
She quickly tried to cover up but just then, her whole apartment was lit up. The electricity was back.
There was a beat of long silence as Nian stared at her partially naked body, his eyes refusing to blink. His chest felt stuffy and his fingers itched to caress her smooth body and leave his marks on it with his teeth.
"Pervert!!!" She exclaimed and pushed him away with all her might, blushing furiously. She could read his thoughts very well and her heart pounded faster, sensing his desire.
She covered herself, tied her bathrobe and turned, covering her face with her hands. "I-I want to change! G-get out!"
Ahhhh! I want to merge with the cosmos now!!! He saw me…n-naked…
Instead of his footsteps obediently walking away, she felt her back growing warmer instead. "Escape is pointless, my dear."
She shivered with her right cheek and earlobe tingling as his breath fanned it. "I still haven't punished you about your secret chatting."
"D-don't talk like I am having an affair with Hou Lin. We are just keeping an eye on Miss. Sun…"
Nian pouted. "I will help you with whatever you need. Other men are not good. They bring out the beast from inside me."
"..."
"What will it take for you to l-let me change peacefully?"
"A good punishment."
"..."
"What that punishment might be?" She asked, her throat going dry.
Nian smiled with an evil glint. He gently brushed her hair away from her neck and bent to press his lips under her earlobe.
She jolted, feeling extremely ticklish but warm by his kiss. The first kiss on her forehead was just a light peck that she didn't realize when it even happened.
But right now, it was totally different. She could feel her neckline's temperature increasing to feverishly hot.
"Under your ear seems to be your sensitive spot, is it not?"
Her brain was too short-circuited to respond.
Nian teased as he withdrew and whispered. "This is me still being merciful, my dear. Next time, it won't end with just your neck."
