Chapter 58: Coaxing Her

Jiang Cheng threw the used wet wipe into the trash can and naturally followed up with, “I came to coax you.”

“Coax me?” Ji Shuyi asked, perplexed. “I’m fine. There’s nothing to coax me about.”

After saying that, she guiltily muttered to herself, “I thought you came to ask for your car back, and to settle the parking ticket thing with me.”

Jiang Cheng looked at the muttering, self-conscious girl and said nonchalantly, “I’ve already taken care of the parking tickets. As for the car, you can have it if you like playing with it.”

He then switched to the matter that was actually worrying him. “Why didn’t you answer my calls or reply to my texts? I thought I had upset you again somewhere.”

Ji Shuyi’s eyes flickered slightly under his worried gaze. He had actually come because of that.

Was it because she had told him before that not answering the phone or replying to messages meant she was angry and needed to be coaxed?

He remembered every word she said and then acted on it.

Many people said that he had a bad temper, no patience, and was even cold. Even she used to think that way about him. She never imagined that he could be so good-tempered, patient, and passionate.

In an instant, the embarrassment of being seen naked was completely dispelled by his thoughtfulness.

“I wasn’t angry.”

Sitting next to Jiang Cheng, Ji Shuyi suddenly hugged his arm, tilted her head, and leaned in close to his face to explain:

“I was taking a shower, and my phone wasn’t with me.”

Suddenly being hugged by her, Jiang Cheng’s back stiffened. She smelled so good, a milky, tempting fragrance. Especially with her arm wrapped around his, pressing tightly against the softest part of her chest, separated only by a thin nightgown. His mind instantly flashed back to the captivating scene from earlier.

The fire he had just suppressed seemed to ignite again in an instant.

And her pink, kissable face was right in front of him, practically killing him.

Jiang Cheng’s Adam’s apple bobbed. He tried his best to restrain the ‘fire’ in his heart, looking down at the deadly little girl to ask, “Does showering take that long?”

Ji Shuyi blinked awkwardly, muttering softly under his gaze, “I accidentally fell asleep in the bath.”

That’s why she had come out of the bathroom in such a panic when she woke up, afraid of running out of oxygen!

Jiang Cheng didn’t dare to look down at her anymore because she was too close, and the neckline of her nightgown was a little… too tempting. He hurriedly shifted his gaze imperceptibly and asked again, “My darling is really not angry?”

“Really not.” Seeing that his expression was a little off, Ji Shuyi thought he was worried about her mood and quickly added, “I’m really not angry. If I’m angry in the future, I’ll tell you directly.”

Only then did Jiang Cheng withdraw his gaze and look into her eyes again. Seeing the sincerity in her eyes, that she really wasn’t angry, he breathed a sigh of relief. “That’s good.”

Then, unable to bear her looking at him like this, his back stiffened unconsciously, and he rolled his Adam’s apple again, saying,

“Then I’ll go back. It’s not good to stay in your room like this.”

As he spoke, he stood up and quickly added, “Go to sleep early tonight.”

Ji Shuyi also felt that it wasn’t appropriate, so she didn’t keep him. However, when she saw Jiang Cheng walking away without looking back, as if he wasn’t the least bit reluctant to leave her, she pouted unhappily and said to his back,

“Don’t you want to kiss me before you go?”

Jiang Cheng, who was almost at the door, instantly turned around when he heard her inexplicably aggrieved voice.

He stopped in front of her,

Bent down,

Quickly gave her a light kiss on the lips, and then turned to leave again.

He didn’t dare to kiss her more than that, afraid that he wouldn’t be able to hold back and would lose control.

However, Ji Shuyi was even more unhappy. “??????”

Looking at the back of someone rushing away, she said resentfully,

“Is this how perfunctory you’re going to be on the second day of being official?”

Jiang Cheng’s steps faltered. He hurriedly turned around and walked back to her, looking down at the little girl who seemed to be unhappy because he hadn’t kissed her properly. He reached out without any hesitation, pulled her into his arms, wrapped his arms around her waist, and kissed her deeply.

It wasn’t until he had kissed her until her face was flushed, her heart was racing, and she was unconsciously pushing him away that he let her go, breathing hoarsely in her ear:

“If you want my life, darling, just say so. I’ll give it to you. You don’t have to torture me like this.”

He was holding back so much that his whole body felt like it was about to explode.

Ji Shuyi, her breathing uneven, didn’t immediately understand his words. Just as she raised her flushed face from his embrace, she saw his kiss fall again.

“Mmm!”

It was soul-stirring, making her want to abandon all shyness and indulge in endless desire.

He even picked her up in the middle of the kiss, their heartbeats a chaotic mess.

…

By the time Ji Shuyi regained her senses, she had been carried to the bed and tucked in. Jiang Cheng was no longer in the room, only his low, husky voice lingering in her ears: “Good night, darling…”

Good night, darling…

That voice was hoarse and restrained.

Only then did Ji Shuyi vaguely understand that the reason he had rushed to leave and only given her a light kiss when he turned back was that he was trying his best to control his desires.

She could feel how uncomfortable he was, but because of her tantrum, he endured all the discomfort to satisfy her and coax her…

Ji Shuyi’s heart was warm as she gently pursed the lips he had kissed, her red face pulling the covers up to cover herself.

Her little heart was pounding wildly because she found herself liking cuddling with him more and more. That feeling was so sweet, so heartwarming and captivating.

The young girl was lost in thought for a while, then suddenly threw back the covers and muttered to herself:

“Eek~~ I can’t think about it, I can’t think about it. Why have I turned into a pervert after getting into a relationship~”

It must be because too many relationship hormones are being secreted.

She hurriedly grabbed her phone and played a Heart Sutra chant.

As for Jiang Cheng, after returning home, he showered again and again, but still felt hot and restless.

It seemed like he had spent half his time in the bathroom today. He had stayed in the bathroom for a long, long time in the morning. In the afternoon, he had just managed to calm himself down, but now he couldn’t get out of the bathroom again at night.

His mind was full of her naked, especially the skin that was just washed in the bath, moist, pink and tender, exuding a light, tempting fragrance…

Damn it! This is killing me!

The next day, Ji Shuyi was a little embarrassed to see Jiang Cheng, so she only had someone send his beloved car back to him and then didn’t see him for a week.

That night, Lu Zhixia invited her to go to the “Intoxicated” music bar to play, along with a few other friends.

The music was currently playing a song called “Kissing Too Realistically.”

The moment Ji Shuyi, who was drinking peach-flavored fruit wine, heard the song, the image of Jiang Cheng singing it popped into her head. She indulged in the thought for only a second before hurriedly shaking her head to dispel the thoughts of him, even quickly taking a sip of fruit wine to calm herself. However, before she could swallow the fruit wine in her mouth, her phone received a WeChat notification.

Ji Shuyi took out her phone and saw that it was from the person she had just been thinking about.

Jiang Cheng: “What are you doing?”

Ji Shuyi gulped down the fruit wine in her mouth and actually replied: “Sleeping at home.”

At this moment, Jiang Cheng, who was not far behind her, was staring at her back with deep, narrowed eyes. He slowly looked down at her reply, the corners of his mouth unconsciously turning down slightly. As he walked towards her, he typed a few words on the screen:

“Can you sleep?”
