Chapter 680: Chapter 680: Open the Door to Your World
Li Yufei turned her head to look at him, her eyes carrying a trace of complexity.
Why did he hide a woman in the closet…?
The bodyguard came over, opening the door of the wardrobe along the way. The woman let out a short scream, shrinking further in fright.
Rong Ling came over, looking at Li Yufei, but he noticed that her gaze had changed again.
The woman hiding in the closet appeared somewhat helpless and at a loss.
Li Yufei looked extremely embarrassed, recalling the bloodstains on the bed, she suddenly thought of something and turned to leave.
Rong Ling guessed she must have misunderstood something, he rushed forward and grabbed her hand: “Don’t go!”
Li Yufei instinctively tried to break free.
Rong Ling suddenly said: “Aren’t you going to ask me?”
If she didn’t ask, he wouldn’t even have a chance to explain.
If he explained proactively, it would seem like he had a guilty conscience.
Li Yufei turned around, unexpectedly somewhat indifferent: “I just didn’t expect that I seem to have interrupted you. I thought you were alone, so…”
Her gaze slowly fell, staring at the slightly open bathrobe of Rong Ling, seemingly torn at the collar, was it that intense just now?
Rong Ling clutched her shoulder: “It’s not what you think, hmm?”
Li Yufei: “Then what is it?”
She furrowed her brows: “Rong Ling, there’s really no need for this. If I knock on the door and you feel it’s inconvenient, you don’t have to open it for me. If you are doing something, you can tell me through the door that you are busy, I won’t…”
The thought of that woman trembling in the closet made her feel a bit uncomfortable.
Rong Ling rubbed his temples, “So, it’s not what you think.”
He turned around, looking at the woman who was pulled out of the closet by the bodyguard in the room. Feeling overwhelmed, he suddenly grabbed Li Yufei’s hand and walked out the door: “I need to talk to you.”
His expression suddenly became forceful, gripping her hand so tightly that his knuckles turned white.
Li Yufei got a bit angry: “Rong Ling, let me go.”
Rong Ling held on tighter: “No.”
Her delicate wrist was faintly marked with a ring of redness.
Li Yufei said: “Rong Ling, wait a moment.”
Rong Ling interrupted her: “I won’t wait.”
Li Yufei had mentioned her room once, so Rong Ling scanned the room numbers, finally stopping at the door of her suite.
He looked at her: “Swipe the card.”
Li Yufei vaguely sensed that something was off with his emotions, “What’s wrong with you?”
Rong Ling, after scanning her up and down, finally spotted the room card tightly clutched in her right hand. He grabbed her right hand and guided it to swipe the card, entering the room.
Before Li Yufei could react, Rong Ling’s large hand pushed at her lower back, propelling her into the room.
Before she could gather her wits, he had already followed her into the suite.
Li Yufei: “What are you going to do?”
His tall figure loomed over her like a wall.
With the door behind her and the wall to her left, she was trapped in this tiny corner, having to confront him directly.
Rong Ling casually locked the door behind him, turning to focus his gaze on her face: “I can swear to you, I have nothing to do with her. As for her story, I’ll explain it to you clearly once I calm down.”
Li Yufei: “Aren’t you calm now?”
Rong Ling: “Hmm. A little bit.”
Li Yufei: “Then calm down a bit first.”
Rong Ling looked at her: “I don’t want to.”
Li Yufei couldn’t help but smile broadly, though she knew all too well he was rebellious by nature. Yet now he seemed slightly agitated, and in his anger, he was quite childish, like a kid.
She calmed her mind and patiently said: “You don’t need to specially explain anything to me. Even if there’s really something between you and her, I wouldn’t be mad.”
Rong Ling’s handsome face showed a trace of consternation: “Why wouldn’t you be mad?”
Li Yufei was stumped for a moment, “Why would I be mad? You’re already an adult, even if there’s some intimacy between you and that woman, it’s only natural.”
In Rong Ling’s eyes, there was a hint of disappointment: “I thought you would be mad.”
Li Yufei: “What angers me is that, if you were really busy, you didn’t have to go out of your way to open the door for me.”
Rong Ling lowered his voice: “You came to see me, I was very happy. I didn’t want to miss the chance to see you, nor did I want there to be any unfounded misunderstanding between us.”
Li Yufei’s heart skipped a beat.
Rong Ling: “Should I be more proactive?”
He paused, his large hand gently caressing her face: “Li Yufei, I like you, you know that?”
Li Yufei’s expression froze, clearly not expecting him to say this.
He…liked her?
Li Yufei’s heartbeat became a little disordered. She quickly adjusted her expression, pretending to be indifferent: “Rong Ling, thank you for liking me, but you also know…”
She looked at him: “There’s a 10-year difference between us.”
Rong Ling: “Does it matter that much to you?”
Li Yufei: “Shouldn’t it matter? Rong Ling, I’ve always cared for you like a younger brother. You think you like me, maybe it’s not real like; perhaps no one has treated you as well as I have in your life, you’ve formed an attachment. It’s not surprising. You mistook this attachment for affection, that’s where you’re wrong.”
Rong Ling raised an eyebrow, pursing his lips, his eyes flickering slightly: “I believe I know what my feelings for you truly are better than you do.”
Li Yufei: “Rong Ling, it’s impossible for us. We aren’t people from the same world.”
Rong Ling: “Then how can we exist in the same world?”
Li Yufei: “You….”
Rong Ling: “If you don’t want to come into my world, then open the door to your world and let me in.”
Li Yufei instinctively tried to step back, her back pressing against the door, leaving her with no retreat.
Once again, she had to face him, “Rong Ling, I…”
Rong Ling suddenly interrupted her impatiently: “I don’t want to listen.”
He cupped her face, bowed his head, and pressed his thin lips onto hers.
His lips were evidently cold, yet his breath was warm, seemingly intent on melting her.
Li Yufei wanted to break free, but Rong Ling’s hands held her arms firmly, gently pressing her against the door panel. Afraid of hurting her, he didn’t exert much force, but even so, the natural disparity in strength between men and women left her completely unable to move under his control.
Gradually, unwilling to settle for just a simple kiss, after tracing her lips lightly, he directly laid siege.
Li Yufei unconsciously tightened her lips.
Rong Ling sensed her resistance and bit her lip gently.
Li Yufei felt a light, dull pain, and before she could suppress a slight gasp, he took the opportunity to pry open her lips, delving deeper.
Li Yufei made a muffled sound, “Rong…”
