Chapter 289: Doing It Personally
Leng Ningxue’s hand quietly slipped under the pillow.
"Don’t move!"
The hand Leng Ningxue had slipped under the pillow was immediately caught by Lin Tian’s hand, and a voice, both admonishing and warning, sounded.
Boom!
Leng Ningxue’s mind went completely blank in that instant, lost amidst Lin Tian’s overpowering demeanor.
A minute later, Lin Tian lifted his head, looking at Leng Ningxue’s flushed face.
The two of them held each other’s gaze.
"You jerk, taking advantage of me like that!"
Leng Ningxue wiped a wet patch from the corner of her mouth and rubbed it on the bed sheet, "Ew~! Your drool is disgusting!"
"Xue!"
Contrary to Leng Ningxue’s excitement, Lin Tian didn’t continue to fool around with her; instead, he became serious.
"What’s wrong?"
Leng Ningxue was a bit surprised. Just a moment ago, they were fine, so why did Lin Tian’s demeanor change suddenly?
"Turn back before it’s too late!"
Lin Tian leaned down and whispered in Leng Ningxue’s ear, "I believe you are forced, helpless, and I don’t hope you and I will become enemies!"
"What do you mean?" Although Leng Ningxue was panicked inside, her face still looked completely confused, as if she didn’t understand what Lin Tian meant.
"Seeing through but not speaking of it, we could still be friends!" Lin Tian lowered his head and kissed Leng Ningxue on the forehead.
Leng Ningxue feigned confusion, "What are you talking about?"
"Xue, it’s very late. I’ll go back to sleep first!"
Lin Tian got off from Leng Ningxue and walked towards the door, "It’s late, you should rest early too!"
Leng Ningxue watched as Lin Tian closed the room door, lying listlessly on the bed, staring at the ceiling in a daze.
"Did he find out?"
"Does he know I want to kill him?"
"And what did he mean by those things he said?"
A series of questions popped into Leng Ningxue’s mind, making her face turn pale.
Facing Lin Tian’s previous inexplicable words, Leng Ningxue kept shaking her head, "Impossible, how could he find out?"
"Turn back before it’s too late!"
"Turn back before it’s too late!!!"
Repeating these four words, Leng Ningxue decided to personally explain the situation to Bai Jiaming.
Inside a certain villa!
Bai Jiaming hasn’t been in a good mood these past few days, lying awake smoking this late at night, with a scantily clad young woman beside him.
"Mr. Long!" Leng Ningxue pushed open the door and walked in.
Blowing out a smoke ring, Bai Jiaming rested his hands on the coffee table, "Did you kill Lin Tian?"
"No!"
Leng Ningxue lowered her head, afraid Bai Jiaming would explode in anger.
"Bang!" Sure enough, Bai Jiaming smashed the wine glass in his hand onto the floor violently, scaring the young woman beside him into curling up into a ball.
Bai Jiaming glared coldly at Leng Ningxue, "Didn’t you two have sex?"
"We did!"
"Then why didn’t you kill him?" Bai Jiaming didn’t believe a man would remain vigilant in bed.
"He left afterward!" Leng Ningxue explained.
"Left?" Bai Jiaming seemed to hear something unimaginable, "Didn’t you do anything?"
"No!"
"Do you know what you’re doing?"
"Yes!" Leng Ningxue nodded.
"We set up an opportunity for you to meet tonight, but you...
"Did not kill Lin Tian!!!"
Bai Jiaming frustratingly scratched his head, "You’ve really changed, the decisive you from before, what has happened now?"
Extinguishing his cigarette in the ashtray, Bai Jiaming sneered, "Could it be that in just one night, you’ve developed feelings for him?"
Leng Ningxue hesitated before speaking, "Absolutely not!"
"Haha!"
Bai Jiaming burst into laughter, "You hesitated while answering that question, Leng Ningxue... seems like I wasn’t wrong about you, you’ve fallen for Lin Tian, haven’t you?"
"I have not!"
A flash of ruthlessness appeared in Leng Ningxue’s beautiful eyes, "I will not fall in love with any man!"
"Then why didn’t you kill him this time?"
"I think he’s already suspicious of me!"
Leng Ningxue didn’t hide anything, recounting the earlier events in the room with Lin Tian.
However, she automatically omitted the heated scene and didn’t mention it.
"He told you to turn back before it’s too late?" Bai Jiaming, seated on the sofa, with his hand supporting his chin, finally became serious.
In the quiet room, Bai Jiaming muttered to himself, "Could Lin Tian have detected something?"
"I feel he has detected something!"
"I don’t care whether he’s detected or not, I told you to sleep with him then kill him, can you get it done?" Bai Jiaming was clearly losing patience.
As long as Lin Tian remains, he’s the biggest obstacle.
Right now, Bai Jiaming is solely focused on removing this obstacle.
For this, he’s willing to use Leng Ningxue.
"I can kill him, but I don’t want to sleep with him!" Leng Ningxue reiterated her stance.
"Not sleeping with him, what if Lin Tian suspects something and you fail?"
Bai Jiaming shouted frantically, "I don’t want to drag this on any longer!"
"I also don’t want any more accidents!"
"But..." Leng Ningxue wanted to defend...
"Stop with the nonsense, I’m asking if you can sleep with him and then kill Lin Tian?"
Bai Jiaming poured himself a glass of red wine and nonchalantly tossed a small white pill into the glass.
The small white pill dissolved instantly in the red wine.
Leng Ningxue sighed and assured him seriously, "Give me another chance, I will definitely kill him!"
"Alright! Happy cooperation!"
Bai Jiaming handed the wine glass to Leng Ningxue, raising his own, "Come, let’s have a drink!"
"Mm!"
Leng Ningxue raised her glass to clink it against Bai Jiaming’s, then downed half of the red wine in one gulp.
"Ningxue, why don’t you let men touch you?" Bai Jiaming suddenly asked after placing the glass on the table.
"You know I don’t want to discuss this!" Leng Ningxue also put her glass down, "Just give me another chance, I’ll make sure to kill Lin Tian, no unexpected incidents!"
"Unexpected?"
"I think the biggest surprise is you!" Bai Jiaming’s expression changed as he smashed the glass on the table to the floor, shards flying everywhere.
"What do you mean?" Leng Ningxue’s expression turned cold, her eyes becoming icy.
"You don’t know what I mean?"
Bai Jiaming was stern just moments ago, but now he burst into laughter again, "Ningxue, I gave you a chance, but you didn’t kill Lin Tian; no choice left, I have to do it myself now!"
Leng Ningxue looked at him, somewhat frightened. Bai Jiaming had always been gentlemanly, calm under pressure, maintaining his elegant demeanor.
But now, Bai Jiaming was laughing one moment, furiously angry the next, like a madman who had escaped from an asylum.
