Lanni had a bad feeling. "The Gu family is close to the Ji family. Would they really side with the Feng family?" She shook her head and thought about the main point instead. "If the Feng family actually manages to get Feng Ji International with the help of the Gu family, will they revenge against the Ji family?" 

The only way to found out was to wait and see their next move, but that wouldn't help. She glanced at Ji Xiehan who was still fast asleep. 

"Why don't you take him to your room? If he keeps sleeping in that uncomfortable position, he will be sore when he wakes up." Li Yuming said when she saw that he didn't seem to wake up any time soon. After saying so, she went to the kitchen to prepare some dishes for when he woke up.

"Eer…" Lanni had thought of this but was embarrassed to actually do it. But indeed, his body would be sore from sleeping on the couch so she tapped him awake. 

"Is it morning already?" Ji Xiehan yawned when he woke up. 

"No, silly." Lanni laughed at his silly look. "It's afternoon. I just want you to sleep in my room instead." 

Ji Xiehan was about to say that he was no longer sleepy but when it hit him what she had just said, he gladly stood up and followed her lead to the second floor. 

As soon as the door opened, he felt his heartbeat accelerate. He had never been to a woman's bedroom beforeㄧat least not a woman he was dating. Lanni's room was light-themed with white curtains and a soft white carpet. The furniture was majorly white and the only contrast was the bed whose covers were a royal purple color. For a girl like her, he had expected something pink and girly but this was better. 

"Come in. Are you scared?" Lanni asked when he didn't follow her in.

"I'm not scared. Why would I be scared?" He walked in as he said. 

"I don't know… you might be afraid that I would eat you up." She teasingly made a threatening face. 

He grabbed her waist with a hearty laugh. "I would really like it if you would…" His hands rubbed on her waist, letting her know his hidden meaning. "But unfortunately, you can't now." 

He breathed in her soft, flowery scent, making her stiffen as he ran his hand across her midriff and reached under her left b.r.e.a.s.t. "When can you?" 

Lanni's breath hitched as she tried not to lose herself to his sudden touch. "In one or two days." 

"I hope it's in one." He said as his hand moved a bit further up, cupping her b.r.e.a.s.t. He squeezed it slightly. Her teeth dug into her lower lip to supress a m.o.a.n. 

"You should be sleeping." She gently pushed his hand off her b.r.e.a.s.t. Not because she didn't want him to touch her—in fact, heaven knew just how badly her body wanted his caress. However, he wouldn't be able to take things further and that would leave her body in need. 

Ji Xiehan chuckled, seeing that she was pushing him away despite enjoying what he was doing. 

"Alright, I will go to sleep now." 

He sat on her purple bed, took off his shoes and lay on his back. Since he was uncomfortable in his clothes, he ripped off his tie and undid the first two buttons of his shirt. Then he covered a hand over his eyes and tried to sleep. 

Lanni coughed and looked aside. The sight of her boyfriend lying on her bed with a sliver of his chest peeking through the unbuttoned part of his shirt was posing a huge temptation to her restraint. 

Her mind slowly drifted to that night in Berlin when she had gone down on him. Her throat tightened as she swallowed, and her eyes involuntarily trailed down his body. A swell slowly started to form on the crotch area of his pants, making her wonder whether he was thinking of the same thing. 

Ji Xiehan was indeed thinking about that too. Although his eyes were closed, he could feel her burning gaze on his body. He couldn't stop his own thoughts from running dirty.

He opened his eyes to catch her staring at his crotch. She tried to pretend to look at something else and he laughed at her embarrassed state. "Come here." 

She went over obediently, lying next to him. Scared that he would start talking about something that would embarass her even further, she brought up her speculation about the Feng family. 

"My love, do we have to talk about business right now?" Ji Xiehan protested, hugging her tighter. 

"Yes. The more we procrastinate it, the closer the Fengs get to taking over Feng Ji International." She was only making an excuse so he wouldn't bring up the Berlin incident but she was right so he couldn't refute it. 

Lanni went ahead and told him what she thought. "Do you think it's possible for the Gu family to betray the Ji family? After all you have friends and business partners for many years." 

Ji Xiehan thought back to how rudely he had rejected Gu Tianxi. That couldn't possibly be enough reason for the Gu family to betray a close partner. But then he also remembered how strict he had been every time he was asked to handle business projects. He had brushed shoulders with the Gu family several times. 

Although it was their fault every time and he just couldn't tolerate their nonsense, he knew that they must secretly dislike him.

He just hadn't thought about it because their dislike for him was still not a strong enough reason. But at this point, he couldn't rule out any possibility and that was a huge one. "It's possible now that I think about it." 

After sleeping for a while, his brain was clearer so he could now think better. "The best move now is to approach Ji Feifei before the Fengs do." 

That didn't mean he was going to coax her or give in to some of her stupid fantasies. He was going to give her a piece of his mind and if he had to use coercion, so be it. 

Lanni stole a glance at his serious expression and knew that whatever was brewing in his brain might work, but not as gently as should be. "Let me help you. I'll deal with Feifei." 

Ji Xiehan's lips curled upwards. He pressed a peck onto her neck. "Honey, you don't need to. I can handle it." 

"But I still want to help you, my love. Look at you, all tired out. You must have a lot to deal with and Ji Feifei is probably just the tip of the iceberg. Why don't you leave this to me and handle the larger matters instead?" 

Her gentle coaxing paired with what she had just called him made it impossible for him to say no to it. He could only nod. "But honey, if it's too difficult or if it takes up too much of your time, you must stop immediately." 

"I'm not some clueless little kitten, okay?" She rolled her eyes and playfully smacked him. 

"What are you then? A kitten with a clue?" He teased, earning another smack. 

He turned her so she was lying on her back  grabbed her hands and held them together so she wouldn't hit him. Successfully locking her down, he lowered his head to kiss her lips. "Are you trying to change the topic?" He gently pecked her lip. 

"What topic?" She feigned innocence. 

"Trying to get away by putting up an innocent act, are you?" He tauntingly kissed down her lips, moving away just when she thought he was going to deepen the kiss. 

She tried to break free from his grip, but her wrists were held tightly in one of his hands. She couldn't move even by using up all the strength she could muster. 

"I really don't know what you're talking about." Lanni shook her head, trying to break free. Her resistance only made her more seductive, and Ji Xiehan's urge to tease her grew wilder. Pressing her under him, he continued to peck her lips lightly.

She had the urge to pull down his neck and deepen the kiss and she knew that he was denying her that on purpose—and it was driving her crazy. When he lowered his head to peck her lips again, she unexpectedly parted them. 

Even so, he only lighy kissed her. 

Just when the anticipation was about to drive her crazy, he deepened the kiss, kissing her demandingly like his life depended on it. She m.o.a.ned lightly when his tongue came into contact with hers. It had not been long since they last kissed but she had missed it so badly. 

Finally getting the sweet taste of his lips and tongue again, she returned the kiss with an equal level of anticipation and l.u.s.t. 

He stopped briefly to gasp for air. She used the chance to ask him to let go of her wrists. 

He did—but before she could hug him, he stopped what he was doing, rolled to the space beside her and hugged her, holding her into place so she wouldn't move. 

"What's that all about?" She complained. 

"Let's sleep a little. Sleep with me."
