Zoey was sitting on the passenger side when Jerry Xiao suddenly leaned over and his lips almost brushed against Zoey’s. She breathed unsteadily and shuddered with nervousness, but Jerry Xiao had already turned his face away and fastened her seatbelt for her.
Zoey was only steeply relieved, but he didn’t back away immediately. Instead, he paused there …
Between them, only a few centimeters separated them. His line of sight, condescendingly looked down. It was heavy and seemed to be burning with a steaming flame, the sense of oppression was so heavy that Zoey even held her breath. Subconsciously pinching the leather underneath her body, licking her dry lips, she slightly turned her face away.
lower jaw, only to have his hand take hold of it in a flash.
“Well …” she winced in pain as her fingers touched the injury on her face.
His eyebrows knit together for a moment, “Don’t move! Let me see.” The not-so-good tone of voice, but also clearly interspersed with a touch of seemingly unnoticeable pain, so that Zoey’s heart trembled, floating out of a beautiful, gentle flowers …
He was staring at half of her cheek with a seriousness and concentration that almost mesmerized Zoey. Not wanting him to worry, she smiled softly, “Don’t worry, it doesn’t hurt at all.”
He looked clearly annoyed, “It doesn’t hurt? You think you’re made of iron?”
Loosening her jaws, his tone was hard and gangly, but his movements were gentle, as if he was afraid of hurting her.
“Go back and do a hot compress first.” He glanced at her.
“Now?”
“Uh-huh.” All he could think was that her red, swollen face stung so much that it couldn’t wait a moment!
Turning the car around a bit, he drove up the avenue and barreled straight in the direction of his house. “Are you skipping work today?” Zoey asked.
He raised an eyebrow, “One day without going and the company won’t do anything.”
She laughs. This was not his style at all. In the past, he’d always put his career first.
“Laughing at what?” He asked. Looking at her smile, his mood, which had just been annoyed, seemed to improve a bit.
She shook her head. “Not telling you.”
He skipped work this time, it should be considered for himself, right? So, she is very happy … very happy …
He didn’t ask any more questions, but just narrowed his eyes and deliberately rebuked her, “What a fool, not getting angry even after being slapped, and still smiling so stupidly.”
Zoey shrugged with little concern, “Maybe it was a blessing in disguise.”
If not for this slap, she would not have known that the original … he really cared about himself … not just a mere figment of her imagination …
Just now, he was indeed angry because of the slap, moreover, his cold and icy look was really a bit scary … However, she felt that, that kind of him, so charming, so charming …
…
When he got home, Jerry Xiao set the medicine down on the couch, turned around and headed for the bathroom. zoey could hear the sound of water clattering and she followed curiously, only to see that he had already soaked the towels in hot water.
“Don’t you want to take a break first?” She smiled sweetly.
He ignored her, only wringing out a towel and coming out of the washroom, passing by her hand and leading her by it. The action of holding her was so natural that it seemed as if he had already done it hundreds of times.
But Zoey still felt the tingling sensation of electricity coursing through her eyes. Subconsciously, she curled her fingers and clasped his hand back lovingly.
His large, broad, strong palm, as if it could grasp everything, and seemed to have the ability to block all the storms.
“Sit down.” Leading her, she sits down on the couch. Zoey obeys him, watching him take the towel and wring it into a ball. Zoey says, “Give it to me, I’ll do it myself.”
He silently pushed her hand away and simply instructed, “Lean back on the couch and don’t move.”
Looks like he’s going to do it himself …
Zoey smiles, and dutifully leans back on the couch. With her eyes open, she watched him hold the towel a little closer to herself. The hot air emitted by the towel, applied to the face, moist, warm, exceptionally comfortable. The pain, also in a little bit soothing down …
He hung his head, a few strands of his hair fell on Zoey’s face. From a very close distance, around, and surprisingly quiet, Zoey can hear his own thumping heartbeat clearly, but also can feel the violent rise and fall … under his sturdy chest.
Hot air, dense over each other’s eyes … let each other’s eyes, stained with a circle of mist general mist …
She, nervously pursed her lips, but heard him order her somewhat darkly, “Close your eyes!”
Those eyes were so damn tantalizing! Eyes gently a flow, obviously only inadvertently, but on the contrary, so seductive, as if seducing him constantly close, close again …
This, it was killing me! Surprisingly, with just a slight glance, he already had a strong reaction.
I’m afraid if he lets her watch any longer, the hot packs won’t have to be made, and he might consider doing something else that makes sense!
His dark, sexy voice made Zoey smell danger. Realizing the fire jumping under his eyes like a lion, she blushed and hurriedly and obediently closed her eyes.
…
I don’t know how long it took, but Zoey leaned back on the couch and closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Waking up again was disturbed by a strong heat and sucking force. She opened her eyes in a daze, her small lips parted to catch her breath.
Jerry…
====
He’s kissing her!
And, the kiss was too passionate …
====
Everything …
Seems to be poised for action …
The cell phone, however, rings suddenly and untimely, injecting a glimmer of sanity into the searing, frantic space.
She froze.
He too was stunned for a moment, and then, just as if he hadn’t heard, he continued to indulge in the kiss.
But her sanity has been drawn back, thinking of her current situation, a face red as fire, nudging him petulantly, she did not dare to look at his eyes? only softly reminded, “Your phone …”
He gave her a chagrined look. The desire that bloomed in those eyes was so strong it made her heart skip a beat.
“Go listen to …” she urged him again …
The cell phone rang sharply, cut off and continued to ring, three times.
Jerry Xiao was so annoyed that he wanted to strangle his opponent. Chagrin ruffled his hair, and heavily stared at Zoey , before withdrawing to the side with great reluctance. Picked up the phone, did not even glance, “Who?”
“President, it’s me.” It was Feng’s voice.
“What is it?” He was in a bad, bad mood! If it wasn’t a big deal, he would have dumped the phone.
“The Board of Directors is having a routine video conference this afternoon. You’re not coming to the company?”
It’s really bad! If Feng didn’t remind himself, he almost forgot! “I know, I won’t go to the company in the afternoon, I’ll contact over there.”
The president’s not coming to the office?
It was nothing short of a miracle. However, Feng didn’t ask any more questions, and only answered the call before hanging up.
…
Hanging up the phone, for a moment, the whole house was quiet again, just the two of them.
The eagerness and passion of what had just happened didn’t seem to have dissipated, echoing through the room and circling the two of them, making them both a little uncomfortable. Zoey coughed, trying hard to break the awkwardness of this heart pounding embarrassment, “How long have I been asleep for that …?”
He looked down at the clock, “Eight minutes.”
How much longer could one sleep? Once he saw her sleeping face, he simply did not hold back. Originally reminded himself not to wake her up, but … the truth is that there are some things that simply can not be controlled by himself.
Zoey’s in a cold sweat.
I can’t believe I only slept for 8 minutes before he woke me up. But what to do? But she did not feel unhappy at all, on the contrary … heart, sweet …
“It’s getting late, I’m going to cook for you. You rest for a while.”
“Good.” He responded, “I have quite a bit of work to do this afternoon, so I’ll lay here and take a nap.”
“Uh-huh.” Zoey got up and watched him plop down on the couch.
He closed his eyes quietly and turned slightly on his side, with his back to her. zoey couldn’t see his face at the moment, but she found the quietness of the atmosphere particularly peaceful.
She glanced up at the clock, it was already after twelve and she hurriedly turned into the kitchen.
Only when he turned around, on the sofa, Jerry Xiao moved. Turning his face sideways, his deep eyes watched her back closely until her figure disappeared from his sight, and only then did he pick his lips and close his eyes in satisfaction and enjoyment.
That’s not a bad way to live …
Zoey turned into the kitchen and her cell phone rang. Worried about disturbing Jerry Xiao outside, she hurriedly closed the kitchen door, and was even more cautious when she saw that it was her two children calling.
“Zoey!” It was Nini’s voice.
“Why are you calling Mommy at this hour? Aren’t you in class?” Zoey was quite surprised. While lowering his voice, he cautiously looked at the closed door.
“Zoey what an amnesiac! It’s the seniors who are running the school sports day this afternoon, oh, we underclassmen aren’t participating.”
