Chapter 209

"Xiao Chenyuan?"

She heard his sigh fall beside her ear. "Don't look at me."

Darkness shrouded QingWu's vision, making her hearing and touch even more sensitive. The tingling, itching sensation was unbearable. She stiffened, feeling uneasy. "What are you doing?"

"I want you."

She heard his blunt confession of desire. Her body turned rigid like a steel plate, and she naturally sensed the abnormality in his body.

She had felt this abnormality last night as well.

"You… you…" She wanted to curse him again, but her voice came out soft and delicate, as if she couldn't bring herself to say it. Through clenched teeth, she forced out a few words:

"Scoundrel! Lecher! Rogue!"

She heard his low chuckle, wicked like the boy he once was.

"I've never claimed to be a gentleman."

He adored her, longed for her—without the slightest pretense, clear and direct.
