All Novel Full 129 You are avoiding me
Ai was taken aback.
“Staying the night here?”
“Is there a problem, Miss. Zhou?” Jun pointedly asked. “I came this far to meet you. It’s late in the evening, and it’s snowing outside. You won’t even offer your place to stay for one night?”
“…”
“Look outside. It’s snowing so heavily. What if I get into an accident?” He sneered.
“…”
“Then all the blame will be on you. I could have been safe here, but you forced me to leave in the dark and on a snowy night.”
Why is he talking as if he is a helpless child going out without his parents?
“And then I remember that I left my keys to my house inside. How will I enter? You want me to sleep in the garden on a heavy, snowy night?”
Her mouth twitched. Ai uncomfortably shifted in her seat. She wouldn’t have had any problems before but now….
Jun’s eyes were as dark as the night outside. “Here I offered you my condo for a whole month, and you cannot even grant me a night? Where is the kindness in you? Or…do you rather prefer Gu Yating to stay the night here?” His voice was frigid and threatening.
Seeing Yating step out of Ai’s apartment felt as if somebody had dropped him into the Arctic. His heart burned with fury, and his fingers flexed with an urge to beat the shit out of him. Thinking about their relationship and intimacy between them made his body tremble with a dark, possessive emotion roaring inside him.
Yating had left, but Jun didn’t feel at peace. The only way to quench this uneasiness was to stay near Ai. He felt a sense of emptiness ever since she had left his house.
But the moment he saw her again tonight made the discomfort vanish from his heart. Meeting her again, talking to her again reminded him of the one month whose importance was gradually growing more and more precious in his heart.
Ai blinked. “Where did he come from? He won’t be staying here.”
Jun broke out of his trance, and his eyes held an impending glint. “Of course, he won’t. That was never an option.”
She swallowed a gulp, his low growl sending tingles down her spine.
“You can stay the night here,” Ai had no choice after seeing Jun in a pinch. Also, he was right. He helped her when she was in a dire need of a place to stay. It was only fair that she offered her help too.
“But there is only one bedroom. I will sleep on the couch-“
Jun interjected. “I will sleep on the couch.”
Ai shook her head. “The couch is small for your height. You will only feel uncomfortable.”
He coldly glared at her. “I said I will sleep on the couch, so I will. End of the matter.”
She frowned in dissatisfaction. “I cannot accept this. You are my guest. I cannot let a guest sleep on a couch. I had such good arrangements at your house. It’s only fair that you get the best too. It’s only for one night, so it doesn’t matter.”
He gritted his teeth. “Do you hear loud? How many times should I repeat? I am sleeping on the couch!”
Ai squinted her eyes and gave up. “Fine. If that’s what you want. I won’t bother you anymore.”
She got up, took the empty coffee mug and headed towards the kitchen, her chest puffing up with resentment. “It’s not like you listen or keep your words…” she mumbled to herself thinking about Shui and Jun again.
His ears twitched again. “Did you say something-“
“No.”
“…”
Jun watched her back in speculation. He thought she was behaving oddly because of that night, but he felt that her reason was perhaps different. He couldn’t put a finger on it.
He walked towards the kitchen and saw her washing the cup. As she kept it back in its place, she said without meeting his eyes. “I cooked curry and rice tonight for dinner. If you want something more too, I will-“
She gasped as she was pushed back at the kitchen’s counter when Jun’s stature towered closer to her. His dark eyes watched her carefully. “You are avoiding me.”
She slightly stiffened. “I am not.”
Jun’s face blackened. “You are.”
He took another step even though there was no space to take one. The chill in the air evaporated as she was covered by the sight of Jun’s broad chest. The warmth touched her face, making her tremble. He was about to ask her again when the doorbell rang.
His expression turned extremely ugly.
Is it Gu Yating again…?
Ai said, “I have to-“
Suddenly, a chill enveloped her as she noticed his icy gaze. “I will open the door. You stay here.”
“But-“
“Stay,” he coldly ordered.
With every step that carried a deadly and intimidating pressure, Jun walked towards the door. He opened it and saw a delivery boy standing outside. “It’s a courier-“
That delivery boy got the scare of his life the moment he looked into Jun’s eyes.
W-what did I do? I did nothing wrong! I-I am just here for the delivery! Am I going to be killed?
The frost in Jun’s eyes slowly disappeared. As long as it wasn’t Yating, it was fine.
Ai quickly came forward and took the parcel. “Thank you so much.”
Mam, you have a terrifying boyfriend! He lacked tears to shed.
Ai had to sign on the delivery receipt, but Jun’s aura was so dangerous that he didn’t have the courage to stay there any longer. He handed her the parcel and ran for his life.
“Wait-“
Shouldn’t he take my signature? Ai was bewildered.
She then peeked at Jun. “It was just a delivery. Why did you want to open the door?”
“No reason,” he coldly retorted.
“…”
They went inside, and Ai kept the parcel aside. She set the plates on the table and served Jun’s dinner. “I hope you like it. Let’s eat.”
