CHAPTER 399: CHAPTER 399 MIDNIGHT

The intruder’s footsteps were very light, only slightly louder than a cat’s footsteps on the carpet, but Xu Ke captured that slight sound completely.

The footsteps stopped at the side of Xu Ke’s bed, not moving forward, but Xu Ke could feel a gaze with a burning temperature resting on him, and he could even hear the person’s slightly heavier breathing.

When Xu Ke silently counted to ten in his heart, the person standing by the bed moved, came behind Xu Ke, and boldly sat beside him. Xu Ke didn’t turn around but clearly felt the presence of a body, first the bottom, then the legs, and finally the entire person laid down on the bed, pressing their body against his, accompanied by a familiar fragrance.

"Heh, you can stop pretending, I know you’re awake." Ariel’s voice broke the silence, and Xu Ke instinctively looked at Lin Mengyao to see if the woman in his arms had woken up.

"Don’t bother looking, she’s not awake and won’t wake up. No matter how much commotion we make today, she won’t wake up." Ariel spoke as if she had a Heavenly Eye after Xu Ke looked over.

As she talked, her hand slipped in from the hem of Xu Ke’s shirt, feeling soft and boneless, it lingered on his abs like a small snake without moving upwards.

Xu Ke could feel Ariel’s hot breath on the back of his neck, this close proximity made his scalp tingle and gave rise to a shiver, different from the ones he had with Lin Mengyao, this feeling carried danger, a bloodthirsty sense, coupled with conquest and challenge.

"What did you put in that glass of milk?" Xu Ke asked, catching the information precisely from Ariel’s words.

"Relax, it’s just some drug to make her sleep well. It won’t cause any harm." Ariel replied with a giggle, drawing circles gently on Xu Ke’s abs with her forefinger.

"Why? I don’t think you’re really interested in me, though you said such words, I could see from your eyes that you look at me like a toy." Xu Ke spoke softly.

"You’re right, I wasn’t interested in you before, but I became interested yesterday afternoon." Ariel, who was honestly sticking close to Xu Ke’s back, suddenly turned over and pressed Xu Ke down.

Her hands painted with light pink nail polish lightly brushed off Xu Ke’s bangs, and she said with obsession in her eyes, "Do you know? You’re really handsome when you lift your bangs. Your eyebrows and eyes are very beautiful, they shouldn’t be covered, but should be shown." Ariel’s hand followed her words moving continuously downward, finally stopping at the corner of Xu Ke’s eye, with an unspeakable obsession in her eyes.

Her blue pupils in the darkness seemed to turn inky blue, like whirlpools trying to pull people in.

"Just because of that?" Xu Ke raised an eyebrow in surprise.

"Is it unbelievable? But it’s indeed the truth. The moment you lifted your bangs, the moment you broke every bone in that man’s body, the moment you protected us behind your back, I knew I was done for, I fell for you, I wanted to have you no matter what means I used." Ariel tilted her head, exhibiting a naive yet persistent look.

"Are you sure what you feel for me is love?"

"I’m sure of my own feelings, no one is more certain than me." Ariel nodded, the hand that was supporting on Xu Ke’s chest was moved behind her, gripping something.

"Ugh." Xu Ke groaned softly.

"Let go." Xu Ke’s expression turned unfriendly as he spoke.

"No, I want you to be mine tonight." Ariel wiggled her hips, sliding her body down, lowering her upper body, and giving Xu Ke’s chest a light bite with her teeth.

Xu Ke didn’t say anything, but his eyes had become dangerous, while Ariel, catching a glimpse of Xu Ke’s displeased face and increasingly serious dangerous gaze, instead of being afraid, laughed foolishly, a cute blush appearing on her face, making her seem more adorable, like an angel with wings in church, only this one is a devil in an angel’s guise.

"Admit it, you like me too, don’t you? Otherwise, you wouldn’t feel anything towards me, right? Is it so hard to admit? Doesn’t a man have a white rose and a red rose in his life? Aren’t you unwilling to have just one rose?" Ariel spoke while squeezing the object in her hand, feeling its change, still carrying a naive innocence that made Xu Ke’s pupils shrink intensely.

Xu Ke’s hands gripped the sheet beneath him tightly, veins bulging like worms, completely lacking beauty.

"Get off me." Xu Ke said bluntly.

His expression was grim, not at all like he was lying.

Ariel tilted her head, a little unbelieving that Xu Ke would say such a thing at this moment.

"Are you sure you want to say this at this time?" Ariel’s smile carried no joy.

Though Ariel started to have interest in Xu Ke, she was after all raised with pampering, never having suffered such humiliation.

"Do you know? No one has ever said no to me, no one has ever refused me, you’re the first. Generally speaking, your actions should intrigue me, make me more fond of you, but I don’t, I hate being refused the most." Ariel bent down and spoke softly.

"What does it matter to me if you like it or not?" Xu Ke sneered.

At this moment, Xu Ke’s eyes carried a slight chill, making Ariel frown slightly.

In the next second, the world spun, Ariel, who had been in a dominant position, was thrown onto the bed. Her mischievous hands were captured and pressed above her head by Xu Ke.

It was initially an extremely ambiguous move, but Ariel’s thoughts were now devoid of such notions. She only felt danger and disbelief. She couldn’t understand where it all went wrong.

"Why? Clearly, you were already moved before, weren’t you?" Ariel asked puzzled.

"Just an act for you, your little tricks might work on others but not on me." Xu Ke’s chilly voice rang out.

The moonlight outside the window was covered by clouds, dimming the room’s light, even though the two were close, their expressions were unclear, only their slightly glowing eyes were visible.

Ely felt panic for the first time, while an endless desire for conquest and battle surged within her.

"You’re genuinely interesting." Ely said, "I want to keep you by my side forever, make you mine." Her gaze landed obsessively on Xu Ke, her hands, restrained by Xu Ke, moved restlessly, stopping as Xu Ke showed no sign of letting go, understanding flooding her eyes.

"Do you like this position? I don’t mind." Ely showed a sweet smile.

Xu Ke had no intention of continuing the verbal spar, he was reaching the peak of impatience.

He once again clearly realized, this woman was genuinely a maniac, doing whatever without care when she went crazy.

Xu Ke’s big hand moved towards Ely’s head.

Ely assumed this was an affectionate gesture, so a sweet smile surfaced on her face.

But, Xu Ke’s hand targeted the acupoint at the back of Ely’s head, pressing it without hesitation.

The next moment, Ely’s vision went black, plunging her into complete unconsciousness.

Xu Ke carried her out of his room to the living room, then turned and left without any reluctance.
