Chapter 177 - 177 Too Domineering
Jiang Yanzhou stood up and walked toward Lu Yang, before stopping in front of her. Before he could say anything, Ye Cixing spoke up when she saw Lu Yang standing at the door for a while.
“Yangyang, weren’t you going to answer a call?”
The door was pulled open, and Ye Cixing saw Jiang Yanzhou. Her pupils trembled almost imperceptibly.
She communicated with her eyes: How did Jiang Yanzhou appear here? Yangyang, did you call him?
Lu Yang signaled with her eyes: No.
Jiang Yanzhou lifted his eyelids and glanced inside the private room, his gaze briefly met with Sheng Yu and He Kongqing.
Sheng Yu and He Kongqing also walked over. Sheng Yu knew Jiang Yanzhou, but He Kongqing didn’t. He looked at Lu Yang and asked, “Who is this?”
Ye Cixing said, “He’s Jiang Yanzhou, and an actor who has some connection with Yangyang in their work.”
Lu Yang added naturally, “My boyfriend.”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yanzhou’s corners of his mouth could not help but lift, and a distinct smile appeared on his face.
Although Sheng Yu had known about this for a long time, he didn’t expect Lu Yang to admit it so easily, so he was genuinely surprised.
Lu Yang introduced Jiang Yanzhou to them one by one, “They’re my friends, Ye
Cixing, He Kongqing, and Sheng Yu.”
Jiang Yanzhou’s lips curved as he looked at them, but his expression carried a sense of detachment and indifference. “Hello.”
Ye Cixing greeted, “Hello.”
He Kongqing, too, greeted, “Hello.”
Sheng Yu had a mischievous thought and started teasing, “Do you remember the time when I advised Sheng Yu to make a bold confession to Yangyang? He said, ‘I like you too, until I get a perfect score on my math test.’ I suggested that he should start liking math before liking her. So, everyone always thought that Yangyang and Sheng Yu would eventually get together, but it turns out that
Yangyang’s boyfriend is someone else! It’s so unexpected! It’s just a pity for
Sheng Yu’s perfect math paper.”
Lu Yang was speechless and mused, “Why bring up something from ages ago?”
Ye Cixing suddenly twisted Sheng Yu’s arm, gritted her teeth, and said, “Sheng Yu, what the hell are you doing?
Sheng Yu replied, “Just feeling nostalgic!”
Ye Cixing retorted, “Nostalgic your head!”
Sheng Yu enjoyed watching the show and took the opportunity to settle the score.
He Kongqing remained calm and elegant, lightly saying, “It’s all in the past, no need to mention it again.”
Jiang Yanzhou frowned, and his fingertips suddenly grasped Lu Yang’s wrist, pressing down on her pulsing pulse. He deliberately leaned closer to her ear and said, “Now, are you going with me, or should I stay here with all of you?”
Lu Yang didn’t choose either of the two options. She responded calmly, “It seems like someone is calling you. You should go back and attend to it. I still have things to do with my friends. We’ll get in touch later.”
“Jiang Yanzhou, have you finished talking to your family?” A voice came from outside the private room.
“Your friend is calling you. You can go back. See you later.”
With that, Lu Yang pushed his hand away, calmly stepped back into the private room, and closed the door.
Having been left out, Jiang Yanzhou furrowed his eyebrows, and the corners of his lips tightened into a cold, hard line.
Sheng Yu, fearless, spoke to Lu Yang, not holding back. “I thought you would leave with him. It seems I overestimated you.”
Ye Cixing exclaimed, “Sheng Yu!”
Sheng Yu sneered. “Only Lu Yang can treat a man like Jiang Yanzhou as a plaything. ”
Lu Yang’s voice turned colder, “Stay in your own position. He’s not someone you can judge.”
The warning signs were evident.
Sheng Yu’s enthusiasm faded instantly. He wasn’t afraid of Lu Yang, but rather concerned that their relationship might sour and Ye Cixing would stand firmly on Lu Yang’s side.
“I will handle my own affairs,” Lu Yang said calmly and sharply, and her eyes were calm. “Let’s talk about Fei Zhen’s matter first.”
It seemed that no one could make her falter. It was always others who would be manipulated.
On the way back, Lu Yang sat in Sheng Yu’s car, with He Kongqing sitting in the front passenger seat, while Lu Yang and Ye Cixing sat in the back.
Ye Cixing leaned against Lu Yang’s shoulder and asked, ‘Why did Kongqing suddenly return to the country without prior notice?”
He Kongqing replied calmly, “I wanted to go home.”
Ye Cixing asked, “Can you hypnotize Lu Yang and make her remember what happened two years ago?”
He Kongqing asked, “Two years ago? What happened?”
Ye Cixing explained, “That man just now, Jiang Yanzhou, the strategist knew him before, but he doesn’t remember.”
“He knew about him before but has no memory?” He Kongqing looked at Lu Yang, his eyes flashing with a hint of suspicion. “What’s going on?”
Lu Yang showed no expression and spoke in a flat tone, as if it wasn’t her own matter. “I’m not sure about the details.”
After a brief silence, He Kongqing said, “If you’re available next weekend, we can try. However, Lu Yang, you are perceptive, and I’m not very skilled. It might not work.”
Lu Yang closed her eyes lightly and responded, “Okay.”
He Kongqing glanced at them through the rearview mirror, occasionally looking at the person in the back seat.
Although Lu Yang had a dominant personality, she also carried a protective aura.
Just like when he confessed to her and was rejected, her words turned the person standing on the cutting edge into her own.
No one cared about his failed confession; everyone discussed the arrogant girl who claimed she was more difficult than mathematics.
The car stopped on a familiar road. Lu Yang opened the car door, got out, and bid farewell to them. However, she saw a lonely figure when she turned around.
Jiang Yanzhou had a slender figure, and his shadow stretched long under the streetlight. He lowered his eyes, and his long and dense eyelashes cast a shadow on his face. “What are you doing here?”
“Waiting for you to pick me up.”
Lu Yang’s mind went blank, and her slender eyelashes blinked rapidly. “Pick you up?”
“Yes, pick me up.”
Jiang Yanzhou wasn’t wearing a mask, and he was quite eye-catching. If he were recognized, it would cause an online uproar.
Lu Yang looked around and uttered, “Let’s go.”
Jiang Yanzhou followed behind her as they entered the elevator. He watched as she entered the password, and when the doors opened, they walked inside.
At the entrance, they changed their shoes. After Lu Yang finished changing, Jiang Yanzhou reached out and embraced her waist. She instinctively pressed her hand against his chest.
“What’s wrong?
The man’s strong arm held her tightly. His slightly heavy breath fell on her face, and he asked in a low voice, “What’s your relationship with He Kongqing?
Through his shirt, she could feel the firm texture of his warm and hot skin, along with his thunderous heartbeat. Lu Yang pursed her lips and replied, “Just ordinary friends.”
“Ordinary friends?” Jiang Yanzhou paused for two seconds and said bitterly, “Am I the same kind of ordinary friend to you?”
His clean scent enveloped her tightly. Lu Yang slightly held her breath and heard him say, “Which friend wishes they could keep their eyes on you? Lu Yang, a man understands a man’s thoughts, and he has ulterior motives towards you.”
Lu Yang frowned. “How much have you had to drink? You’re starting to talk nonsense.”
“You’re allowed to reject me, but I’m not allowed to drown my sorrows in alcohol. Lu Yang, you’re too domineering.”
Lu Yang lightly patted his chest with some annoyance and said, “You’re determined to be jealous today, aren’t you?”
“Yes, I am.” Jiang Yanzhou’s eyes sparkled with a smile, but his voice carried a hint of bitter loneliness. “You’ve told He Kongqing that you like him, but you’ve never said that you like me.”
“That was just a polite refusal. Do you want me to reject you too?”
“I don’t want you to reject me.” He seemed to be acting out of drunkenness and petulance. “I just want to hear you say that you like me.”
The man’s words were partly a negotiation and partly coaxing. “Say you like me, alright?”
It wasn’t jealousy but rather acting out after having had too much to eat and
LILIIIK.
“All right, I like you…”
Before she finished her sentence, in an instant, Lu Yang’s head tilted back, and a thick dark shadow enveloped her. His lips pressed against hers, pecking and licking her lips, easily parting her teeth and invading her mouth.
Every touch of possession showcased his domineering desire. Lu Yang didn’t have time to react, and her breathing was swept away by a gust of wind, leaving her in disarray.
The man took a step back, leaning against the door, and continued kissing her for a while before releasing her.
Lu Yang was dazed by the kiss, her mind filled with incredulity. Her eyes were misty with a thin layer of tears, slightly losing focus.
Jiang Yanzhou still held her, and his lips continuously caressed her hair. His warm breath landed on her neck, causing a tingling sensation.
Suddenly, the man opened his mouth, and his hard teeth grazed her skin. Lu Yang felt pain and snapped back to reality, raising her voice, “Jiang Yanzhou, why did you bite me?”
Jiang Yanzhou had a look as if he would sacrifice everything for a single kiss from the person in front of him.
“Just a bite to prove that this isn’t a dream.”
Lu Yang was speechless.
“Let me bite you back.” Jiang Yanzhou hooked his finger on his tie, pulling it down to reveal his sexy collarbone. He looked like prey willingly exposing himself to the hunter. “Yangyang, let me bite you.”
At a loss for words, Lu Yang stared into his eyes for a moment before finally uttering, “Jiang Yanzhou, you’re a bit of a pervert..”
