In the silent and still kitchen, all you could hear was the gentle whistling sounds coming from the brewing kettle .
Her elbow was propped up between the two of them . Her palms were beginning to sweat .
At eye level, she could clearly see Fu Huai'an's open shirt collar as he moved to embrace her . His defined muscles were vaguely revealed . Lin Nuan immediately averted her eyes and stared at the floor, her fair ears turning as red as a tomato .
“What's the panic for?”
Smiling, Fu Huai'an asked in a low voice . A voice like that in a space occupied by only two people only appeared more alluring than ever .
The mature and imposing aura of the man enveloped her whole body—she was so nervous she couldn't breathe properly .
She tried to play it cool and ask Fu Huai'an to move, but her throat was so dry she felt as if she was being choked, unable to say a single word . All she could do was keep her head down unnaturally with her arms pushed up against Fu Huai'an's chest .
“You afraid of me?” Fu Huai'an stared deeply into her eyes and asked .
“No…” Lin Nuan denied .
To back up her own claim, she forced herself to look up and stare into Fu Huai'an's eyes . Her heart started beating faster and faster .
Fu Huai'an saw the stubborn yet unconcealable shy look in Lin Nuan's eyes . With one hand against the countertop and another propped up against the hanging shelves, he bent over slightly and lowered his head, moving closer and closer to Lin Nuan .
Lin Nuan's eyelashes were trembling . She tried to stand straight in order not to display any sign of fear in front of Fu Huai'an, but she was trembling inside .
Fu Huai'an's large hands held her face as his arched nose playfully tapped against Lin Nuan's nose . It was uncertain whether it was because of the alcohol, but his deep black eyes looked as if they hid an ocean of affection underneath them .
Lin Nuan's heart fell into a trance, her mind going bank .
His thumb gently caressed Lin Nuan's tender lips .
Lin Nuan's feet were unstable yet her body was held firmly in place by Fu Huai'an .
The irrational desire inside her was awakened as Fu Huai'an's fingers slowly caressed her lips .
Intense shame occupied Lin Nuan's heart . She uneasily moved her head back…
“Dong—”
Lin Nuan's head did bang against the hanging shelf as Fu Huai'an expected, but she couldn't sense any pain .
Lin Nuan's face burned even more when she realized that she'd just knocked against the back of Fu Huai'an's hand .
“You let a man in your house this late, and now you're realizing it was a mistake?” His soft lips whispered as he kept a calm expression on his face .
She didn't deny it that time .
Lin Nuan's face was burning red under the warm lights . Her chest was heaving because of her overwhelming nervousness and shame, accentuating the beautiful curves of her slender, fair neck . Fu Huai'an gulped, apparently moved by the sight of her .
Hearing the whistling sound of the kettle boiling, Fu Huai'an moved back and whipped out a cigar box from his pocket . He took out a cigar and placed it in the corner of his mouth . Suddenly he said, “So I heard you got into a fight with your makeup artist today?”
Fu Huai'an didn't go overboard . Lin Nuan held it in and didn't say anything as she opened the tea box and began loading it with tea leaves . “I did . ”
She heard the sound of a lighter lighting up a cigar from behind her . Lin Nuan raised the kettle and began pouring water into the teacup .
“It's too hot . Do you have bottled water in the fridge?” Beneath his arched brows, Fu Huai'an's unfathomable eyes looked calmer than ever .
Lin Nuan nodded without moving .
Fu Huai'an leaned on the countertop in the crowded kitchen, blocking Lin Nuan's way to the fridge .
Fu Huai'an drew back his long legs . Lin Nuan then walked over to the fridge to fetch a bottle of cool water and passed it to him .
He took the bottle with the cigar still in his fingers . Opening the cap he took a few sips and asked, “How much did you overhear from my conversation with Lu Jinnan's today?”
