Passionate Devotion-Chapter 59

Staying by His Side for the Entire Night? 2

“What are you talking about? You’re Shanshan’s father. I can’t just leave you like this.”

Leng Yejin responded with a long ‘uhm’. His voice was slightly husky due to the high fever and somehow even more entrancing. It sounded sexy and tempting in the dark. There was a joyless smile on his face. “Is that it?”

“Of course. What else could it be?” Tong Lu felt slightly uneasy under his gaze.

Leng Yejin stared into her eyes. His gaze seemed to have the power to see through her. “Perhaps you, a widow, are interested in me, your brother-in-law. And you’re trying to seduce me in the middle of the night.”

Tong Lu laughed and forced herself to stay calm. “Do you think that’s possible?”

“How is it impossible? Am I not the kind of man who draws women to me like moths to a flame?”

“Don’t be so narcissistic, okay? That’s not my intention. Just take the fever medicine now. I’m telling you, even if you’re a random stranger, I wouldn’t leave you with a high fever. Now, take the med- ah!”

Before she finished, she fell onto the mattress. The pill slipped out of her hand and vanished. Tong Lu wanted to get up instinctively. But the man was quicker. He rolled over and pinned her down. Tong Lu held her breath. “What-what are you doing?”

“What do you think?”

Leng Yejin had the upper hand in that very moment, while she was like a cornered and frightened little bunny. She was frantic and shy. She felt so nervous that her whole body became tense. Leng Yejin was feeling great. He had finally regained his dominance and was no longer the little child whom she could manhandle as she pleased. He still held a grudge for what had happened last night. He wondered if he should get back at her now.

“What-what on earth are you trying to do?”

“A woman willingly comes to my bedside in the middle of the night. What do you think I’m about to do?”

The second he finished speaking, Tong Lu’s eyes widened abruptly. Before she knew it, he was kissing her on the lips. Her eyes were wide open in disbelief. It was as if a bomb had detonated in her head. Her mind went blank.

The man’s lips pried open her defenseless white teeth in a forceful manner. His tongue slipped in and tasted every corner of her mouth within seconds.

Tong Lu’s slim body shuddered. ‘Uh, how could this man act like this?’

She shoved him away abruptly and subconsciously raised a hand to slap him. But Leng Yejin’s reflexes were exceptionally fast. He grasped her hand before it touched him and started kissing her again. His kisses were forceful and unstoppable like tidal waves.

At one point, Tong Lu’s eyes reddened. Panicking, she pushed him away with force and jumped off the bed. “You-you a*shole!”

She covered her mouth and ran off.

‘Damn it. Goddamn it!’

She wanted to feed him some fever medicine out of kindness, but he tried to take advantage of her like a bully!

She was definitely not the kind of woman who would try to seduce him in the middle of the night. ‘What did he take me for?’

Tong Lu returned to her bedroom and shut the door. Her heart was pounding. There was a dreamy look on her reddened face. But she felt absolutely awful.

Leng Yejin lay in bed and shut his eyes. His whole body was burning. At last, he managed to chase that woman out of the room. Due to the high fever, his vision had become slightly blurry. But in that moment, he just wanted to weather through this on his own. He would not let others see him in such a sickly condition.

To him, humiliation was worse than death. His dignity as a man was more important than anything else.

But when it was way past midnight, as he was drifting in and out of consciousness, he suddenly sensed a soft and small hand on his burning hot forehead. He opened his eyes with difficulty. His vision was blurry, but he still managed to discern the silhouette of a person. The person was pressing a wet towel against his forehead. Leng Yejin grabbed her hand out of reflex. But he was too weak. The woman could simply yank her hand out of his grip.

“Woman, you still have the guts to come into my room?”

His voice had become awfully hoarse. His lips were so dry that they started cracking and aching. But his tone of voice was still exceedingly vicious. “Aren’t you already satisfied with a kiss? Are you trying to f*ck me when I’m sick? I’m warning you. Don’t you try anything funny and make things worse for me!”
