Qiqi looked at Tang Jue. There was rare patience and tenderness in his eyes.
Eyes are like a pool of spring water.
She was confused again.
There was even a moment when I felt I couldn’t bear to refuse…
If it weren't for Mo Xun's matter tonight, I'm afraid... she would really agree to his suggestion! She actually found the suggestion of just chatting under the quilt... very tempting...
This thought flashed through her mind, making her panic. Then, she clenched the bag in her hand and shook her head firmly, "... That won't work either."
"What's your urgent matter?" Tang Jue asked in a deep voice. It was obvious that his patience was running out. His pride would not tolerate repeated rejections from others.
When Qiqi opened her lips and wanted to say something, the phone in her bag rang again.
She took out her cell phone, took a look at it, answered it and put it to her ear.
At a glance, Tang Jue also saw the two words "Mo Xun" flashing on the screen, and his eyes became darker.
"... Haven't you boarded the plane yet?" Qiqi answered the phone and turned slightly to avoid Tang Jue. "Yeah, okay, I know... I'll buy it on the way there. Well, then I'll wait for you to come back... Be careful and don't worry too much. Okay, then I'll hang up first."
Her voice was soft and her expression was gentle, and her words of advice sounded more like a real wife advising her husband.
and…
She's avoiding me! It's obvious!
Tang Jue stood aside and watched, feeling that the softness in her words was very irritating, and the tenderness in her expression was also very irritating! These were all things she would not give him! Instead, she gave them all to another man!
"Are you in such a hurry to leave just to see Mo Xun?" After she hung up the phone, he asked coldly, with a hint of danger in his voice. His deep eyes, like a whirlpool, were filled with hidden anger.
Qiqi originally wanted to explain, but...
What is there to explain? Between her and Tang Jue... the word "explain" shouldn't even appear. They don't have a relationship that needs to be explained...
so…
"... I guess so." She raised her eyes and glanced at him, forcing herself not to care about his current mood, let alone be influenced by him. That would be wrong. "I have to go now... Goodbye."
After saying that, she turned sideways and passed him by.
But…
When her shoulder brushed against his arm, her elbow was suddenly grabbed by the man. He had great strength in his hand, and with just a slight tug, he pulled her back. She was startled and looked up. Tang Jue looked at her quietly, his eyes were mysterious, but there was no ripple, and it was hard to tell what his emotions were.
Qiqi just felt a little uneasy.
"I just ask you one thing—" he began in a deep voice.
"… What?"
"Just now - when we were kissing, did you ever feel anything for me for even a moment?"
Emotional
Qiqi's heart trembled. This question made her at a loss for a long time.
Tang Jue looked at her like this, and his eyes, which had been calm at first, gradually began to fluctuate. A thin layer of light covered them.
But, the next moment...
"No... I'm not emotional!" She denied it twice in succession, as if to strengthen her persuasiveness. However, she didn't know that this was just an attempt to cover up the truth.
"No?" Tang Jue smiled softly, "Qiqi, if you weren't in love, why did you hesitate for so long? If you weren't in love, why did you respond to me when I kissed you just now, and kissed me so passionately? If you weren't in love, why did you take the initiative to come to me tonight?"
A series of rhetorical questions made Qiqi's heart suddenly confused. She didn't even dare to think deeply about Tang Jue's questions. She was afraid that the answers would make her unbearable.
"Don't be so self-indulgent..." Qiqi didn't dare to hesitate for a moment, and almost immediately refuted. She clenched her bag and calmed herself down. "The reason why I responded to you has nothing to do with love. It's purely physiological desire... I have no experience before, so it's natural that I can't resist this kind of thing... If it were another man, I would also..."
She could feel Tang Jue's increasingly cold and sharp eyes, and for some reason, she didn't dare to continue. She also felt a little guilty.
"If it was any other man, would you have the same reaction?" Tang Jue continued her words, holding her chin and lifting her averted gaze. "Qiqi, you mean, you are much more lustful than I thought, right?!"
The word "lewd" made Qiqi feel ashamed.
She responded to his words somewhat angrily, "If not, why would I take the initiative to deliver it to you?"
Tang Jue pulled her to his chest and leaned over to force her, "If you didn't have the amulet today and you dared to speak like this in front of me, I would let you be as lewd as you want on my bed! I want to see if you can be lewd in front of other men!"
Qiqi blushed, clenched her fist and punched him, "You, hooligan."
"Let me go, I really want to leave..." She pried his hands apart.
I thought Tang Jue would continue to fight back, but unexpectedly he just let go.
The force on his hands loosened, Qiqi was stunned for a moment, came to his senses, hesitated, and then walked away.
Tang Jue did not stop her again, nor did he turn around to look at her.
He slowly put his hands back into his trouser pockets, and resumed his aloof nobleman's demeanor, saying in a domineering tone, "If you leave like this today, sooner or later you will have to come back and beg me for you. But, by that time... Qiqi, I, Tang Jue, may not still want you!"
Qiqi's hand was already on the door handle.
Hearing this, my heart stopped for a moment.
Turning back, she looked at his back anxiously, "Tang Jue, what... do you want to do?"
Tang Jue slowly turned around, his eyes still as charming, but with a hint of frightening cruelty, "I want to do it to you but I can't, so I have to do something new and interesting. Qiqi, I am looking forward to the moment when you put aside your pride and stubbornness, take off your clothes and beg me..."
She bit her lip, turned her head, looked at the door handle in front of her, and found a trace of courage to confront him, "Tang Jue, I am ashamed of your method of conquering women... Didn't you just ask me if I have ever fallen in love with you? Then tell me, is it possible for me to fall in love with a man who only knows how to use power, violence, and tyranny?"
Tang Jue's breathing became heavier.
After Qiqi finished speaking, the door was opened and then closed again. The sound of her footsteps gradually disappeared in the room.
Tang Jue clenched his hands tighter and tighter in his pockets until his knuckles turned white.
for a long time…
His complexion became increasingly cold.
Then, he coldly opened the door of the room and walked out.
When she arrived at the hotel entrance, she was waiting for a taxi. He passed by her coldly as if he had never seen her. After the valet handed the keys to her respectfully, he stepped on the accelerator and the car rushed into the night like a bullet.
Only absolute indifference remains.
