Deep Fog Kiss

Two years later, this was the first time she had looked directly at a man's face.

With Western bones and Eastern skin, his eyebrows were still sharp and piercing, subtly conveying the pressure of a superior, yet his features remained breathtakingly beautiful.

He was wearing a black suit without a tie, and his white shirt was slightly open, revealing a smooth and distinct line below his sexy Adam's apple.

Such casual attire clearly shows that he doesn't care about Luo Hui's invitation today, or even takes it to heart.

She knew it; how could Luo Hui possibly negotiate with someone as picky and difficult as Gu Zhishen?

Then Nianchu's hopes were about to be dashed.

The man didn't answer her, his hawk-like dark eyes fixed on her. "When did you get back?"

Their eyes met, and his gaze was deep, like a bottomless ocean, easily causing Jiang Li to momentarily lose her breath and become immersed in it.

She quickly looked away from him and answered honestly, "I just arrived this afternoon."

The vehicle moved forward at a steady speed, entering the heavy traffic.

Gu Zhishen asked, "Where are you staying?"

"A hotel." Jiang Li gave him the name of a hotel, and as if subconsciously afraid of upsetting him, she added, "I haven't had time to find a place to stay yet."

As expected, Gu Zhishen frowned slightly, and his voice deepened, "Not going home?"

The "home" he mentioned made Jiang Li unable to tell which home he meant.

Is it the Gu family's residence, or Gu Zhishen's private residence?

She entered the Gu family at the age of ten, and the Gu family's kindness in raising her continued until she was eighteen. It was obviously inappropriate for her to go back now.

She had been living with Gu Zhishen since she was eighteen, for two whole years.

His private residence held her sweetest memories, but also concealed her most unbearable love.

And those days and nights when we were inseparable, intimate, and clingy with each other.

She smiled sweetly and said playfully, "That's not a good idea."

Gu Zhishen seemed to have no patience to press her further, simply stating, "Whatever you say."

A silence fell over the car, the atmosphere subtle.

As Yin Ming drove, he also felt a chill emanating from the car.

Miss Li has always been afraid of the cold. In the past, whenever she rode in Mr. Gu's car, Mr. Gu would always tell her to turn up the temperature in the car by two degrees.

It wasn't the season to turn on the heating yet, and Yin Ming, considering that Miss Li might be cold, quietly turned on the heating.

The night view outside the window kept receding, so fast that it was almost impossible to see clearly.

The dappled neon lights streamed in through the car windows, falling on the back seat and dividing the people there into two worlds.

The back seat was extremely spacious, yet the two sat at opposite ends, seemingly separated by an insurmountable chasm, leaving only dappled lamplight.

But Jiang Li clearly remembers how many times they kissed in the back seat of this car over the past two years.

In the shadows, the man slightly lifted his eyelids, his deep gaze landing on her imperceptibly.

My gaze traveled from her delicate profile to her long, curly hair cascading down her back, moving inch by inch downwards.

Her long, seaweed-like hair cascaded down, almost completely obscuring her shapely back.

She wore a simple slip dress, her slender limbs exposed, delicate and translucent in the light streaming in.

His gaze slid over her slender waist, which was barely a handful, and when he pinched her hard, she would wince slightly in pain.

His aggressive gaze lingered on the girl's bare, long legs, slender, white, and shapely.

His palm could easily grasp her slender, delicate ankles.

She's lost weight and looks even prettier.

His temper has also grown.

The man's lips curled up almost imperceptibly, but he didn't even want to say a few more words to him.

very good.

......

The vibration of a cell phone in the bag broke the awkward silence in the carriage.

The man glanced to the side and saw her turn slightly as she took out her phone, seemingly intentionally avoiding his gaze.

He couldn't help but scoff inwardly. The person who used to report everything to him in every detail had now learned to be secretive.

Jiang Li glanced down at her phone at the incoming call, then turned it off without answering.

A few seconds later, the phone rang again.

She turned it off again, so I simply turned it off.

Just as I shoved my phone into my bag, a cold voice rang out in the carriage, "Aren't you going to answer?"

His tone was calm and even, revealing no emotion whatsoever.

Jiang Li turned to look at him, smiling, and said, "A dozen or so phone calls a day are too clingy. I don't want to answer them."

The man's expression remained unchanged as he casually asked, "A man?"

Jiang Li studied his expressionless face, nodded in agreement, and said, "Older men are like an old house on fire, so cloying."

The other person didn't speak again, but Jiang Li clearly sensed that the temperature inside the car had dropped a bit.

She looked away, a strange sense of pleasure welling up inside her.

After a while, a black luxury car with an extremely arrogant license plate arrived at the hotel entrance. Yin Ming did not get out of the car to get his luggage immediately.

Miss Pear had never stayed in a hotel alone before, and the boss would never allow her to spend the night alone.

At this moment, she looked into the back seat in the rearview mirror, waiting for the man to give instructions.

When the car stopped, Jiang Li's breathing also paused for a brief two seconds.

In the quiet carriage, you could hear a pin drop.

The man leaned back in the back seat, his eyes lightly closed, his jawline sharp, showing no intention of speaking.

A few seconds later, Jiang Li smiled inwardly, seemingly finding her own expectation too ironic.

She actually hoped that Gu Zhishen would try to keep her.

He's Gu Zhishen; he never keeps anyone around.

Even two years ago, when she made a huge scene like a madwoman, saying all sorts of hurtful things, she didn't get a single word from him trying to stop her from staying.

Goodbye, Uncle, thank you.

She smiled politely, her dimples making her smile even sweeter.

The man didn't open his eyes to look at her; his handsome face remained completely expressionless.

While Yin Ming got out of the car to get his luggage, Jiang Li pushed open the car door and got out of the car by herself.

A cool evening breeze swept over her, gently ruffling her hair.

Yin Ming respectfully handed her the suitcase and got into the car. Then, the dark black luxury car sped away, leaving Jiang Li with a blinding taillight.

Watching the car disappear into the traffic, she let out a deep breath, her heart pounding for a long time.

She gathered her slightly disheveled hair and turned to walk into the hotel.

When the phone, which had been turned off, was turned back on, the annoying phone call immediately popped up.

Seeing the three large characters "Xiang Yaojie" on the screen, she answered the call.

Before he could even speak, a scathing rebuke came through the receiver: "Jiang Li! Are you deaf? I've called you so many times and you never answer, and your phone's off! Have you grown too big for your britches? Don't you even respect your uncle anymore?!"

Xiang Yaojie only spoke to her in a flattering tone twice.

Two years ago, not long after she arrived abroad, Xiang Yaojie found her and asked her to acknowledge him as a relative.

Another time was when she agreed to a marriage alliance with the Tang family.

Jiang Li sat on the sofa in the hotel lobby, casually tossing her phone on the coffee table in front of her, her tone indifferent, "Speak your mind, I'm busy."

"What are you so busy with?" Xiang Yaojie's voice was quite loud. "How many times have I told you, what's the point of spending all your time and energy writing that lousy script? You should use that energy to please the Tang family! Marrying into the Tang family would be better than writing a hundred scripts!"

Jiang Li picked at her ear listlessly, but didn't respond.

The person on the phone was still rambling on, "You go find Tang Lin as soon as you get off the plane today, and make a good impression on him! If you dare to mess up this engagement, I won't let you off the hook! You'll never get what you want in this lifetime!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Li's bright eyes darkened, and her face turned cold.
