It fell from his fingertips

Is Zhou Jinbai really not a demon?

Even a brief glance, until she sat down to eat breakfast in the restaurant, made Tang Luoqing feel somewhat unsettled.

The image of Zhou Jinbai, a man who appeared aloof, cold, and ascetic to outsiders, kept flashing through her mind...

She rushed out of the bathroom in a panic, intending to run straight out of the bedroom, but she was wearing the pajamas Zhou Jinbai had given her the night before, so she couldn't just leave the bedroom in them. Tang Luoqing could only go into the walk-in closet and randomly chose a shirt and jeans. Then, she discovered that Zhou Jinbai had actually prepared her underwear for her.

Moreover, the styles were all different and dazzling. Of course, they were all proper body double clothes, which made Tang Luoqing breathe a sigh of relief.

She was genuinely afraid he would bring out some messy clothes, which would be too embarrassing.

After changing her clothes, Tang Luoqing hurriedly went downstairs. Two servants were standing in the dining room downstairs, respectfully inviting her to have breakfast, so she sat down and ate.

She ate for a long time, until she had finished her breakfast, but Zhou Jinbai still did not leave the bedroom.

Strange, is he... taking this long? It's been almost half an hour, hasn't it?

Tang Luoqing glanced at the time on her phone and couldn't help but feel curious.

My best friend Shen Baiyan once told me that lasting more than ten minutes is considered a rare talent, so what is Zhou Jinbai?

Wait, what is she thinking about?

How come Zhou Jinbai brought you along, and you're actually thinking about this kind of thing?

"I'm going crazy, I'm going crazy," Tang Luoqing thought to herself.

She patted her cheeks, trying to stop her thoughts from wandering and focusing her attention on the breakfast in front of her, but to little avail.

Just then, a noise came from upstairs.

Tang Luoqing's breath hitched the moment she looked up.

Zhou Jinbai, dressed in a dark, bespoke suit, was walking down the stairs. Sunlight streamed in from outside, illuminating the tall man and making him appear exceptionally handsome. Yet, his aura was cold and refined, making him inexplicably attractive.

Looking at it this way, no one would have imagined that not long ago, Zhou Jinbai would have... seduced her like that in the shower room.

Yes, was Zhou Jinbai seducing her in the shower?

Tang Luoqing finally realized something belatedly.

But... is that possible?

He's Zhou Jinbai, Zhou Jinbai! Would he do something to seduce someone?

Tang Luoqing didn't quite believe it.

Recalling her two previous experiences on the sofa, Tang Luoqing felt a faint warmth rising in her chest.

Okay, Zhou Jinbai is indeed capable of doing things that seduce people.

As expected, she knew far too little about him before.

After Zhou Jinbai sat down next to her, Tang Luoqing couldn't resist leaning closer, lowering her voice, and hesitantly asked the question that had been bothering her: "Were you... trying to seduce me before?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Tang Luoqing regretted it.

What was she saying? How could she ask such a shameful question? It was truly...

Just as Tang Luoqing was wondering what words to use to describe herself, she awkwardly sat back down in her original seat, wishing she could disappear into a crack in the ground, when she noticed the man next to her getting closer.

Zhou Jinbai slowly leaned closer to her ear, his magnetic breath falling on her earlobe: "Yes, it's a pity... it failed."

Tang Luoqing: "..."

Is that really true?

She looked at Zhou Jinbai in surprise, but Zhou Jinbai had already sat up straight and started eating breakfast slowly.

Now, the only one who had been in a truly awkward situation from beginning to end was indeed herself.

Tang Luoqing couldn't help but wonder how Zhou Jinbai could say such shameful things and do such shameful things without batting an eye.

Tang Luoqing was torn apart by the meal.

Fortunately, nothing happened that made me lose my appetite afterward.

After dinner, Zhou Jinbai received a phone call. His face darkened, as if something important had happened.

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Jinbai took Tang Luoqing's hand and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I was planning to stay here with you for a few days so you could have more inspiration for your paintings, but there's been a problem at the overseas branch, and I need to get there as soon as possible to handle it. Are you... alright staying here by yourself?"

Tang Luoqing was taken aback.

She hadn't originally planned to stay here. If it weren't for Jin Bai insisting on holding her and doing that to her last night, she probably would have gone home long ago.

Now that Zhou Jinbai is going on a business trip, she naturally won't stay here any longer.

"I can go home. I have enough inspiration for my paintings. I don't need to stay here all the time."

Tang Luoqing's left hand was being held by Zhou Jinbai, whose fingers were slowly and lightly rubbing against hers. This made Tang Luoqing involuntarily recall how Zhou Jinbai's hand had helped her last night, and then helped him with the same hand this morning. Wouldn't that be... almost...

It's over, Tang Luoqing felt completely tainted.

She quickly shook off Zhou Jinbai's hand and walked straight out of the main house, saying, "Um, please take me home quickly. Aren't you in a hurry to go on a business trip?"

After taking only two steps, Tang Luoqing vaguely heard a very soft laugh coming from behind her, so soft it was almost an illusion.

But she knew it wasn't her imagination; Zhou Jinbai was definitely laughing at her.

Tang Luoqing walked even faster, arriving at the car in one breath. Seeing that Assistant Shen had already opened the car door, she got in directly.

Soon, Zhou Jinbai also sat down, along with the painting that Tang Luoqing had drawn yesterday.

She took the painting from Zhou Jinbai's hand, then suddenly remembered something. She leaned closer to Zhou Jinbai and asked in a low voice, "Where are my change of clothes from yesterday? I forgot to bring them."

Zhou Jinbai turned his head and lowered his voice to reply, "I washed your hands clean and put them in the dressing room. Didn't you see them when you were changing?"

Tang Luoqing: "..."

The walk-in closet is over 100 square meters, and 80% of it is filled with her clothes. How could she possibly have seen it by such a coincidence?

No,

"Hand washing? I, I...you hand washing too?"

"Yes, I've personally taken care of everything. Washing a piece of clothing is no big deal for me."

Tang Luoqing's cheeks flushed bright red, and she immediately lost her temper and didn't want to say anything.

Because what Zhou Jinbai said is true.

He not only served her, but he served her so well that it completely changed her perception and experience.

The journey was silent, mainly because Tang Luoqing didn't want to talk, and the overseas project might be in a rather tricky situation. Zhou Jinbai had been on the phone and checking documents on his tablet since he got in the car, and he hardly stopped.

Tang Luoqing glanced at him secretly and felt that this Zhou Jinbai was more like the Zhou Jinbai she used to know.

He is meticulous and conscientious in his work, calm and wise, and exudes the aura of a big boss.

Then, Zhou Jinbai parted his lips slightly and said, "Luo Qing, look if you want. I am yours, you can look at me as you please."

Tang Luoqing "..."
