Chapter 784 - You

Only the light coming from the kitchen was turned on when Lu Zihao walked into the dark living room. There was a half-wall separating the two areas so he couldn't see the woman but could hear her moving about in the kitchen.

Moving like a panther in the night, he made no sound at all when he stalked towards the kitchen. However, he stopped just before reaching the entrance and hid himself in the shadows instead. He watched as the woman poured herself a glass of cold water from a pitcher and then drank it slowly.

As soon as he saw the swallowing motion of her throat, his groin immediately stiffened and in a just a few seconds, it was painfully hard. His gaze drifted downwards from her throat to her chest. Two small pebbles on top of gentle mounds jutted underneath of the thin material of her nightdress.

Shit. She wasn't wearing a bra.

Her short-sleeved nightdress was simple and loose, reaching below her knees. It was modest and had no shape to it at all, just a straight line. However, the thin material hung enticingly on her delicate body. Although she didn't have an hourglass figure like Long Xiulan's with full breasts, narrow waist and flared hips, Long Jinjing's slender body was still very alluring in a sweet, feminine way.

Every little movement made her nightdress sway, making him imagine an exotic dancer, even though all she did was move in a normal way. The image tempted him to rip the thin dress off her body and reveal the hidden treasure underneath. His entire body tensed as he tried controlling his wild urges.

His eyes darkened at the sight. [This novel is a contracted work with W e b n o v e l . c o m (remove spaces). If you're not reading this chapter on W e b n o v e l, it has been stolen.

The cold, refreshing water soothed Long Jinjing's parched mouth and throat. She tossed and turned in bed earlier but couldn't sleep knowing that there was an attractive man staying in the next room. Her body also felt warm, almost hot, even though she didn't set the heater that high. She had no choice but to change out of her warm, comfy pyjamas into a thin, loose but very modest nightdress in order to prevent herself from overheating.

This was what she got for inviting Lu Zihao to stay in her place overnight. Insomnia. And a bad case of embarrassing images playing in her mind, largely influenced by what her naughty friends Dom and Meimei usually gossiped about the man they called Mr. Yummylicious.

She had another busy workday tomorrow so she needed to sleep as soon as possible. As the CFO of Orchidia Beauty, a break-out success in the domestic beauty industry, she couldn't afford to mess up any numbers in the company's finances due to lack of sleep, or more specifically, hunk-induced lack of sleep. All of them needed to work hard in order to prove to every
