The Rising Phoenix - Chapter 705: Want To Be Her Friend

*Slow Burn Historical Fantasy Novel*

Elise had about to change into the dress that was lying on the corner of her bed when she heard a knock lightly calling from her door. Curious, she turned the door knob only to have a tall man towering in front of her.

“Master Ian!” She called.

Ian smiled with the usual mischievous smirk that he always used. His crimson eyes trailing a little over her room and spotted the black dress over her bed and shifted his eyes over to the woman in front of him. He stepped forward and spoke. “Where did you acquire that dress?”

“Mr. Harland gave it to me.” Elise replied and strained her neck to see Ian’s brows knitted in its elegance.

“Do you know why a man would love to give a woman a dress?” He gave the riddle that she always had to think twice before replying. But this time, she found no answer and instead shook her head. “I don’t know.”

His grin grew bewitching as though something had stirred deep inside the scarlet eyes that he had. He slowly slid his hand over the collar of her dress, sending a cold shiver that startled her for a moment due to its freezing temperature. After unbuttoning the first two buttons on her collar, he tilted his head down, whispering to her ears. “Because they want to be the one to undress the cloth.”

He paused and kissed her neck, turning the pale skin to red before retracting his move to fix his eyes on her and leisurely replied. “Unfortunately, you can’t wear the dress over there with this.” He chuckled and passed a box over to her hand. “And the fortunate news is I prepared a dress for you.”

Lin Qianxiao, the princess of the fairy world, accidentally got cannon fodder when she was watching the gods fighting.

After waking up, she transmigrated into a book written by her old opponent to smear her, and became the short-lived female partner of the same name in the book.

The female supporting role was originally a wealthy daughter, but she did a good job. She cheated on the villain’s boss husband, angered her mother-in-law to death, and finally, was tortured by the villain’s husband’s revenge and died tragically in a mental hospital.

Fortunately, Lin Qian smiled before the death of the original female supporting role. In order to avoid the same tragic ending as the original owner, she tried to please her mother-in-law and hugged the villain’s thigh tightly.

When he first got married, Jiang Zhi drove his newlywed wife to sleep on the sofa, and warned her coldly: “If you don’t want to be cleaned up, just be more obedient.”

Later, Lin Qian smiled impatiently with the energetic Jiang Zhi, hugged the pillow and threatened, “I’m going to sleep on the sofa tonight!”

Jiang Zhi clasped his wife’s slender waist, pampering and coaxing: “I promise I won’t do anything.”

the next day.

The sun was shining outside the window, and the man was lazy in bed. Lin Qianxiao ran to throw off the quilt, but was pressed into his arms by the man, and his warm breath sprayed her ears, “You woke me up.”

Lin Qian blushed with embarrassment and protested angrily, “I just told you to get up.”

Jiang Zhi kissed her with a smile on his dark eyes.
