Qiao Nuo closed her eyes, and in that moment, she felt that spreading her arms from nearly ten meters high was another form of liberation.
But suddenly, a long arm wrapped around her waist, and she felt a strong masculine presence enveloping her!
She opened her eyes and saw Jin Chengyan's face just inches away!
He looked very tense!
But Qiao Nuo was also very nervous at that moment!
Jin Chengyan had clearly been above her just moments ago, and as she fell, he had given up the victory that was so close at hand to come and save her!
The reason she had spread her arms to fall was that she was secured by a harness, with a soft mat below. Moreover, when she was about a meter from the ground, the rope would tighten, ensuring she wouldn’t get hurt at all!
Yet, Jin Chengyan still came to save her.
She looked at him; his chiseled features were so handsome that one glance could leave her mesmerized. Those deep, unfathomable eyes made it impossible for her to ever know what emotions lay hidden within.
His hand around her waist was tight, pulling her close to him with sheer strength, their bodies fitting together perfectly.
Until Jin Chengyan stood on the ground while Qiao Nuo remained in his embrace.
From the first moment Qiao Nuo saw Jin Chengyan, she knew this man was irresistibly charming. He was a dangerous man, a deadly poison—something one could not easily shake off once touched.
Every time they drew near, Qiao Nuo reminded herself that they were merely bound by a contract, mutually beneficial; she must not develop feelings—she absolutely must not.
She had indeed managed to do so before, but this time, Qiao Nuo felt it was a bit perilous.
“Qiao Nuo, I don’t like seeing you so downcast. You were dumped by Shen Fengye, betrayed by Ni Yue, your family went bankrupt, and your brother is being unreasonable. None of this has brought you down. Your father’s departure may have been a devastating blow, but I believe it’s not enough to make you give up on yourself.” When he saw Qiao Nuo at her home, she truly looked like a very worn-out girl.
“Qiao Nuo, you shouldn’t be like this.” After saying that, Jin Chengyan set Qiao Nuo down from his embrace.
Standing on her own two feet, Qiao Nuo finally felt a bit more present.
“Jin Chengyan…” Calling out his name, Qiao Nuo realized she couldn’t find the words to say.
Facing his unconventional comfort, facing his… concern.
Qiao Nuo understood that this was Jin Chengyan’s way of caring, yet she felt anxious.
Jin Chengyan looked at Qiao Nuo with his captivating gaze, unwavering and even… tender, something he wasn’t even aware of himself.
In that moment, Qiao Nuo felt as if she had lost her senses. Her hands tightly grasped the fabric at Jin Chengyan’s waist as she stood on her tiptoes and pressed her lips against his.
The instant their lips touched, Qiao Nuo felt an electric current surge through her entire body!
And the proximity allowed her to see herself reflected in Jin Chengyan’s eyes—so fearless, so brave, even unafraid of rejection—she kissed him without hesitation.
She pushed aside the warnings Jin Chengyan had given her before.
But he… didn’t reject her, did he?
It was hard to tell whether it was because Jin Chengyan didn’t refuse her or because she had mustered up the courage; her lips didn’t leave the corner of his mouth but instead pressed firmly against him.
Humans are called human because our brains can control our actions.
But that couldn't stop us from being more emotional than rational.
Qiao Nuo wanted to kiss Jin Chengyan, and she absolutely wouldn't hold back.
However, in the next moment, Jin Chengyan wrapped his arm around Qiao Nuo's waist, and with a gentle pull, she was pressed tightly against his warm chest!
He even pried open Qiao Nuo's lips, turning the passive into the active!
Qiao Nuo's mind went blank; all she could feel was Jin Chengyan's lips moving against hers, and she was nearly breathless!
After what felt like an eternity, it was unclear who released whom first. Qiao Nuo looked at Jin Chengyan, and suddenly she ran away!
Jin Chengyan watched Qiao Nuo flee in panic, his hand instinctively brushing over his lips.
He thought to himself—he, Jin Chengyan… had been forcefully kissed!
