Chapter 414: 265 Sleeping and sharing a pillow: Skillful maneuvers, even more provocative talk_2

"Not tired," she claimed, but that was not entirely true—she enjoyed it. As Jiang Yanting stepped back, she quickly moved away from him and sat on the sofa, downing a large glass of water, still feeling hot all over.

He had been too close just now, his breath wafting across her neck and ear, setting her skin on fire. She still felt unbearably hot.

She coughed softly, stood up to return to her room, but just as she was about to rise, he suddenly approached, moving behind the sofa and placing his hands on her shoulders.

It itched tantalizingly at his heart, his throat seemed scorched by strong liquor, unbearable itching.
