Chapter 11: Letting Go

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

When Su Yanxi finished speaking, the huge bedroom fell into a strange silence. Only their steady breathing could be heard clearly.

Seeing that the man had stopped moving, for some reason, Su Yanxi felt guilty. This seemed to be the first time in her life that she had said such crude words! In the past, she was noble and elegant. She would never care or be angry about things that she did not think were worth it. This time, she felt a little angry because of his teasing.

“Let go.” After a long while, Su Yanxi finally calmed down and regained her cold tone.

“You’ve really impressed me.” Unexpectedly, he did not let go of her wrist at all. A strong masculine scent entered her ears and penetrated her heart directly.

Su Yanxi frowned and glanced at the man behind her from the corner of her eye. Her expression remained cold. “I could impress you even more.” As she spoke, she bent her elbow slightly and pushed against his chest.

Her actions had caught him off guard and Lu Jingyan did not expect that. The pain in his chest would instinctively make him loosen his grip on her wrist. His brows twitched and his handsome face instantly darkened. His deep black eyes gradually turned cold.

Su Yanxi felt the grip on her wrist loosen a lot. She stood up from his side at lightning speed and deliberately took two steps back. She glanced sideways at his extremely sulky face and smirked, “Sweet dreams.”

As he watched the woman leave the room in her happy little steps, Lu Jingyan’s eyes narrowed slightly, forming a line. He raised his hand to touch the area where she had pushed him just now.

Very good, very good…

Su Yanxi, who had gone downstairs, made a cup of coffee from the kitchen. Just as she was about to go to the living room, her phone in her trench coat suddenly rang with a pleasant ringtone. She looked at the caller ID and picked it up. Before she could say anything, an inquiring voice came from the other end of the phone, “Yanxi, why didn’t you come to the law firm today?”

Su Yanxi sipped her coffee and sat on the sofa leisurely, “I overslept. I’ll go in the afternoon.”

“I thought something had happened.” From his tone, it was obvious that Mo Bai had relaxed. “However, this is really strange. You actually overslept. Your biological clock is usually as accurate as…”

“Speak properly.” Knowing that nothing good could come out of Mo Bai’s mouth, Su Yanxi cut him off as she was too lazy to listen to him continue.

“Alright! Alright! Have a good rest. See you in the afternoon.” Mo Bai chuckled and compromised helplessly.

After hanging up the phone, Su Yanxi remembered that her laptop and documents were in the car, while the car was still in the hospital’s parking lot. She frowned slightly as she would have to take a taxi back to the hospital in the afternoon to get her car. It was very troublesome.

After thinking about it, she still felt that she should not have taken Lu Jingyan’s car back. Why did she give in then?

As the morning flew by, Su Yanxi felt a little hungry. She put down the remote control in her hand and walked to the kitchen. When she opened the fridge, she found that there were no ingredients for her to settle her lunch other than mineral water and drinks.

After some hesitation, she remembered that she had gastritis last night and decided to go out to buy some ingredients from the nearby supermarket. When she went upstairs to get her bag, she saw Lu Jingyan get up.

Su Yanxi was slightly stunned. After watching television the entire morning, she had almost forgotten that there was a man sleeping in her bedroom upstairs…
