015 You stink, thank you_1

"What, don't like it? Didn't you say I was skilled at kissing, that you enjoyed it very much?!"

"Enjoy your... mmm..." Her crude retort never made it out, as she was fiercely silenced by Ling Tian'ao's lips.

Xia Zhisu struggled continuously, but her strength was like an ant's in front of him; he could do as he pleased!

It wasn't until he let her go, looking satisfied, that he even licked his lips contentedly.

The way he looked full and content infuriated Xia Zhisu so much that she bit down on his shoulder.

Ling Tian'ao grunted, but let her bite him until Xia Zhisu tasted the metallic flavor of blood in her mouth, then she looked up and glared at him furiously.

The air was thick with a provocative scent.

And Xia Zhisu, with her chin raised, stared at him defiantly.

"How does my blood taste?" Ling Tian'ao's question took Xia Zhisu aback.

"Just like you, stinky!"

"Is that so," Ling Tian'ao's lips curled up, sending shivers through Xia Zhisu's heart.

Every time he wickedly smirked, it felt like something was about to happen.

Sure enough...

"Mmm..." His tongue swept over her lips, licking away the blood from them.

"Tasty," Ling Tian'ao said with relish.

"Freak..." Xia Zhisu was determined to curse him out—what a freak! This was a freak!

"I'd advise you not to curse," Ling Tian'ao's index finger was on her lips as he leaned in close, his breath on her ear, "Otherwise... I wouldn't mind proving your point."

Endure!

Seeing Xia Zhisu trying to suppress her rage made the corners of Ling Tian'ao's eyes lift even more, and she knew he was amused. But she was seething with anger and continued to endure.

"Give me your hand." Ling Tian'ao got up first and reached out to pull her up.

Xia Zhisu pushed his hand away and stood up on her own.

"It seems you still haven't learned to behave." Ling Tian'ao's tone held a hint of regret as he leaned down and picked her up.

Xia Zhisu hadn't had the chance to push him away when a series of coughs came from the doorway.

"Daddy!" Yao Zhenglong had returned to get some documents.

Yao Zhenglong nodded, his eyes full of laughter; he had not expected Ling Tian'ao and his daughter to progress so quickly!

"Ling Tian'ao! With my daughter to keep you company, you must be having a joyful day! I won't disturb you anymore! Just grabbing a file, I'll be out of here shortly!" Yao Zhenglong nodded at Xia Zhisu approvingly.

"Daddy! He and I..." Xia Zhisu began, afraid her dad might get the wrong idea and wanting to explain.

But Ling Tian'ao deliberately held her close, pressing her against him intimately. Due to their recent struggle, Xia Zhisu's hair was disheveled and her clothes were crumpled, the zipper of her sportswear having slid down...

"What are you doing!" Seeing Ling Tian'ao's hand reaching for her chest, Xia Zhisu grabbed it and spoke with her lips, glaring at him.

"With that size of yours, it's enough to pollute my sight, just don't dirty anyone else's!" Ling Tian'ao directly pulled the zipper up over her chest and hastily tidied her messy hair.

Yao Zhenglong watched with blooming joy.

Xia Zhisu was so angry she wanted to fight this man again, but with her father's expectant and approving look, she could only lean into Ling Tian'ao's embrace and smile warmly.

Yao Zhenglong looked on even more satisfied.

Ling Tian'ao looked at the woman in his arms; she was clearly smiling through gritted teeth, but he just liked seeing her like this!

He nodded at Yao Zhenglong and left with Xia Zhisu in his arms.

"Daughter! Make sure to keep Ling Tian'ao company, understood?" Yao Zhenglong left with a final reminder.

"Yes! Daddy!" Xia Zhisu smiled in response, her fingers pinching Ling Tian'ao's arm fiercely.
