Lin Qian snapped breathlessly, her face flushed red as she furiously wiped her lips with the back of her hand.
His low chuckle reverberated in the quiet hallway. "A jerk?" His eyes glinted dangerously as he leaned closer. "I can be much worse than that."
Before she could escape, his hand caught her chin, tilting her face up, and he kissed her again. Harder. Longer. This time, he didn't stop until her knees nearly buckled beneath her.
When he finally let her go, his gaze trailed downward, lingering on her body.
The baby-blue dress she had worn to the award ceremony hugged her figure perfectly. Elegant, yet undeniably alluring. Against her delicate frame, it highlighted every graceful curve, every line that made her beauty impossible to ignore.
Jealousy flashed in his eyes. "You went out looking like this tonight?" His tone was accusing, almost biting.
Lin Qian frowned, pushing his chest again, though her strength was no match for his. "What I wear has nothing to do with you!"
