“Stay here and do not move. I will be back soon!”
Jing Yichen’s cold order sounded bossy and firm.
Shangguan Ning nodded obediently as she lay huddled in the blanket, looking bewitching.
A couple of minutes later, Jing Yichen came in with a bowl of hot ginger soup.
Shangguan Ning was about to get up when a strong arm scooped her up.
She had only a thin layer of pajamas on her, and his sleeves were rolled up for the boiling of the ginger soup. As a result, she could feel the warmth of his arm clearly.
She was not used to this kind of intimacy, but she kept her mouth shut under Jing Yichen’s sharp sight.
His look was even colder than the ice outside!
She took the ginger soup which he had boiled and sipped it.
The warm ginger soup heated up Shangguan Ning’s stomach and brought comfort to her instantly. Her body started to feel warm again.
Seeing her finishing the soup, Jing Yichen put the bowl to the table next to him, and lifted up her blanket. He held her feet and started to massage them with a proper tempo under Shangguan Ning’s shocked look.
“No, no, let me do that!” Shangguan Ning hurriedly prevented him. Her eyes flushed when her feet were held.
Jing Yichen turned a deaf ear to her and continued massaging her feet.
Her feet were totally frozen after being exposed for too long. Even after being wrapped in a blanket, they hadn’t been thawed.
Jing Yichen held her exquisite and beautiful ankles tightly and refused to let her withdraw the feet.
“Don’t move! It will be fine soon!”
Shangguan Ning was startled by his coldness and dared not move any longer, fearing his anger.
The warmth of his large hands upon her feet spread all over her body from the soles.
Jing Yichen had only wanted to warm her feet up, but as he was massaging the feet, he couldn’t help but feel attracted.
Her feet were thin and tender, just like a very smooth mutton-fat jade. The five toes were round and lovely, and nails were pale pinl like ten beautiful, flawless pearls.
He kept massaging her two beautiful feet back and forth in an increasingly gentle way.
Shangguan Ning withdrew her feet seeing him distracted.
Flushed, she mumbled in a low voice. “It is okay now…”
She would never have believed it if someone had told her that Jing Yichen would massage a woman’s feet before this moment.
Someone so noble and elegant, distant and cold would never serve others.
Yet today, the fact in front of her made her feel dreamily delusional.
Jing Yichen didn’t force her any more. He turned around and came back with some medicine. “You have caught a cold. Take some medicine before going to sleep. A bowl of ginger soup isn’t enough.”
Shangguan Ning took the medicine from his hand and swallowed down the pills with warm water.
Then, under his intent look, she lay down into the blanket quickly and covered herself up.
Jing Yichen’s sight moved away from her breasts and his Adam’s Apple twitched a bit.
The neckline of her sling pajamas was a bit low, showing the beautiful sight of her breasts in such a way that he had almost lost control.
He stopped looking at her and switched off the light quickly. Under the shocked and confused look of Shangguan Ning, he lifted the blanket and lay down under the same blanket.
“Mr…. Zhao!” Shangguan Ning sat up in panic with hands tightly clenched to the blanket. She was like a startled rabbit.
Could this man behave himself!
“Yeah?”
Jing Yichen echoed lightly with a slightly raised tone, sounding enchantingly sexy.
“Isn’t it … improper that we sleep like this?” Shangguan Ning was very anxious. She wanted to run out immediately but she realized that she had nowhere to go!
Jing Yichen glanced at her and then scooped her into his arms as he said lightly, “So you enjoy sleeping in this way?”
Shangguan Ning, who had just bumped into a firm pair of arms without warning, got very pissed and shamed. “You are taking advantage of me! I thought you were a nice man! Release me, I want out!”
“It doesn’t matter whether I am a nice man or not. The point is, you are not going out tonight.” Jing Yichen smiled, and held her more tightly in his arms without caring about her struggle.
“Be nice. Just sleep on. I am tired, please let me sleep for a while. No fussing around, please.”
He sounded a bit hoarse, showing seemingly endless tiredness and making people’s heart ache for his sake.
Shangguan Ning flushed hearing his strong heartbeat.
She wasn’t used to being hugged by him, but it was unexpectedly a very comfortable thing. She looked up at him and found him even more gentle and handsome than usual, under the moonlight. His face was so exquisite just like a carefully built sculpture.
She could clearly hear her heart pumping faster and faster in this dark night.
If it was a dream, then just let her indulge herself in this wonderful dream for once!
She didn’t struggle any longer, closed her eyes and fell asleep in Jing Yichen’s broad and warm arms.
Jing Yichen slowly opened his eyes after she fell asleep.
He touched her smooth hair and listened to her steady breathing sound as he looked at her pure and beautiful face. His heart was filled completely.
He softly planted a kiss on her plump and smooth forehead, moved her into his arms so that she could sleep better.
What a silly girl! Believed him so easily.
He would need strong self-control against such an absolutely beautiful girl in arms.
He would not let her go when she recovered!
The following morning, Shangguan Ning woke up from sleep when her biological clock rang.
She opened her eyes and found that it was bright outside. But the man beside her was gone already.
She let out a sigh of relief.
The wound on her head still ached. Shangguan Ning felt her brain heavy, nose clogged and body feeble. Maybe it was because of the cold she had caught.
She lifted the blanket and gathered herself up, ready for a wash. But she found it a bit improper as she looked down at her pajamas.
Jing Yichen had a scorning look at her neckline last night. She mustn’t swagger out in this way.
She found a white, thin sweater from the wardrobe. It should be Jing Yichen’s judging from the size.
She hesitated for a while before putting it on.
Jing Yichen’s large clothes on her helped to cover up her butt. In this way, only the hem of the pajamas was showed.
Satisfied, Shangguan Ning rolled up the sleeves and went for a wash in the bathroom.
But as soon as she entered the bathroom, she bumped into a strong chest.
She let out a low voice and complained as the first offender. “Why are you silent inside! And why is the door opened!”
“Did the bump hurt you?” Jing Yichen said as he stretched out his hand to massage her reddened nose tip. He spoke in his usual cold voice, but in an indulging tone that was hardly noticeable.
Shangguan Ning’s entire face flushed with heat at the sight of his strong chest.
“It… it is okay!”
Seeing her well, Jing Yichen withdrew his hand and walked out of the bathroom as if nothing had happened.
But he said lightly when he reached the door. “You look pretty in my clothes.”
Shangguan Ning suddenly became even more embarrased. She glared at his back.
